Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR TO GET FIXED LAST WEEK AND MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE BAD NEWS. BOTH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVERS SIDE UNDERCARRIAGE IS COMPLETED ROTTED OUT. HE SAID NISSAN ALTIMAS ARE KNOWN FOR THIS AND HE HAS ACTUALLY FIXED 5 OF THE SAME YEAR (2003) FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND THERE ARE A MILLION COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUES FOR 2003 ALTIMAS. WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS? IT IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE US SO IT IS NOT THE ROADWAYS AND SALT TO BLAME. NO HONDAS OR TOYOTAS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AT 83K MILES. SO I CALLED AN AUTOBODY PLACE AND ASKED THEM TO QUOTE ME THE JOB. WITHOUT EVEN TELLING THEM WHAT KIND OF CAR I HAVE, HE SAID LET ME GUESS, YOU HAVE A 2003 ALTIMA. WHAT THE HECK? NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE JUST BY SEEING ALL THE PEOPLE FILING COMPLAINTS FOR RUSTED OUT FLOORS. MY CAR IS DOWN TO THE CARPET AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. I GET A CAR WASH ALL THE TIME AND IT ONLY HAS 83K MILES, IT'S OLDER, BUT I NEVER DRIVE IT! WHY DOESN'T ANYONE FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT? THIS IS NUTS! *TR
