NHTSA Complaint #10447285 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN JANUARY OF 2006 USED WITH ABOUT 3,800 MILES. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE SEVERAL TIME TO NISSAN DEALER FOR MY 15,000 MILE SERVICE AND ALSO THEY REPLACE MY SUSPENSION ON A RECALL. I DISCOVERED TODAY THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER FLOORBOARD IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, I MEAN IF IT WASN'T FOR THE INTERIOR CARPET I COULD PUT MY WHOLE ARM DOWN IN THE HOLE. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND IT SEEM TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MODEL AND YEAR. NISSAN HAS LIFTED MY CAR NUMEROUS TIME AND HAS NOT ONCE MENTIONED SEEING RUST, WHICH AT THIS POINT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS COULD'VE BEEN FIXED AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY MONTHS AGO. I WAS MY CAR ALL THE TIME AND EVEN IN WINTER, I UNDERSTAND THAT RUST IS NATURAL ON A CAR, BUT WHEN YOU SEE THAT THIS HAPPENS MORE THAN OFTEN ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL THEY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. EITHER EXTEND THE WARRANTY OUT FURTHER OR RECALL. MY CAR IS NO EVEN THAT OLD AND THIS IS UPSETTING THAT I GOING TO SHELL OUT SOME MAJOR BUCKS TO GET THIS FIXED PROPERLY. *TR
