Consumer Description

MY 2005 ALTIMA WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN MY SON NOTICED A LARGE PIECE OF RUST UNDER THE PASSENGER FRONT FLOOR. I PULLED UP THE CARPET AND FOUND A 6" BY 16" HOLE IN THE FLOOR. I CONTACTED NISSAN FOR GOODWILL WHICH WAS DECLINED. I WAS A NISSAN CERTIFIED MASTER TECHNICIAN FOR 21 YEARS AND A SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE LAST 2. MY WIFE AND I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED 10 NISSAN'S AND MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY OWNS 3 MORE. NISSAN SAID ITS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. MY CAR IS IN A GARAGE AND IN OTHERWISE GREAT SHAPE. DURING MY TENURE WITH NISSAN I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE ALTIMAS WITH THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE ITS NOT ENVIRONMENTAL BUT ACTUALLY BECAUSE OF THE SUNROOF DRAINS DRAINING DIRECTLY INTO THAT AREA OF THE FLOOR TO DRIP OUT OF A SEEP HOLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. IF SOMETHING COMES UP OFF THE ROAD THE ONLY THING PROTECTING YOU IS THE CARPET, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT YOUR FEET CAN GO THROUGH TO THE GROUND BELOW. *TR
