Consumer Description

FULLY RUSTED DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR BOARDS. CAN SEE INTERIOR RUG UNDERNEATH VEHICLE. HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN FROM 2002 AND 2005 RELATED TO CARS IN SALT STATES. HAVE SEEN MANY COMMENTS THAT DEFECTIVE STEEL WAS USED. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF OUR CAR IS COMPROMISED. DEALER WANTS $1200 TO CUT OUT ROTTED FLOOR BOARDS AND WELD IN NEW FLOOR PANELS. HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED CASE. REGIONAL MANAGER CALLED AND REFUSES TO OFFER ANY COVERAGE FOR THIS ISSUE. ALSO, NISSAN AS A CORPORATION HAS DECIDED THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE TO OWNERS WITH THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. *TR
