NHTSA Complaint #10588794 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA SE-R THE CAR HAS A CLEAN CARFAX AND I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FORM THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WITH 15,000 MILES. I AM A AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN AND NOTICED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO WHILE PERFORMING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE VEHICLE HAD AROUND 101,000 MILES THAT THERE WAS 2 RUSTED SPOTS UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGERS FLOOR BOARDS ARE THE FLOOR BOARD WAS CRACKED SLIGHTLY. I TOOK NOTE OF IT AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY. WELL I JUST PERFORMED MY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE NOW HAVE 105,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND AGAIN NOTICED THOSE SAME 2 RUST SPOTS ARE NOW ROTTED WITH A HOLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SODA CAN, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING ALSO NOTE THAT THE PART OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE THAT IS ROTTING WAS TREATED FROM THE DEALER WITH A COATING TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING. OBVIOUSLY THIS SHOULD BE A DEFECT FROM THE DEALER AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROT THE PASSENGER FLOOR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ANYONE WITH A 2002-2006 ALTIMA SHOULD HAVE THERE VEHICLE CHECKED FOR THIS AS THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS OVER THE INTERNET. CONTACT THE NISSAN COOPERATION AND COMPLAIN WE TOGETHER SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THIS RECALLED. *TR
