NHTSA Complaint #10465703 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

MY VEHICLE IS A LOW MILEAGE GARAGED 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WHICH IS IN PERFECT CONDITION EXCEPT THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS ARE ROTTED OUT SO THAT YOU CAN STEP THROUGH. VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED AND METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED WITH FRESH WATER CLEANING OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE WHEN WASHED AND ESPECIALLY IN THE SPRING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WITH POTENTIAL FOR INJURY STEPPING THROUGH AND POSSIBLE DEATH FROM EXHAUST FUMES CAUSING UNCONSCIOUSNESS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS VEHICLE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THIS PROBLEM BOTH ON THIS NHTSB SITE AND IN OWNER FORUMS SO IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TOP BE ADDRESSED. *TR
