Consumer Description

AFTER SEEING A REPORT ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING THAT NISSAN ALTIMAS ARE HAVING SYSTEMATIC ISSUES WITH RUSTING UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS, I LOOKED UNDER MY 2005 ALTIMA, AND CAN SEE VISIBLE RUSTING UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS. IT HAS RUSTED, CORRODED AND IS FLAKING OFF. IF YOU TOUCH IT, IT FALLS APART. IT HAS NEARLY RUSTED THROUGH. I UNDERSTAND NISSAN WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE POSITION THAT THIS IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW OR A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THESE CARS, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. IF THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, HOW COULD IT JUST BE COINCIDENCE? I AM ABOUT TO HAVE A CHILD, AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CHILD AROUND IN THIS CAR. I ALSO UNDERSTAND NISSAN ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WITH RESPECT TO THIS ISSUE YEARS AGO, SO THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT FOR YEARS. *TR
