NHTSA Complaint #10704385 — 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA

THERE IS NO SPECIFIC INCIDENT, BUT LAST SUMMER (AUGUST 2014) I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT MY FLOOR BOARD WAS BEGINNING TO RUST OUT. I NOW KNOW, THROUGH RECENT NEWS, THAT IT IS NOT JUST MY CAR, BUT MOST NISSAN ALTIMA MODELS. I ACTUALLY COMPLAINED TO THEM ABOUT IT LAST SUMMER AND OF COURSE THEY DID NOTHING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IF MECHANICS AND PROFESSIONALS ARE NOTICING THAT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. I GET REGULAR CAR WASHES TO PREVENT RUST, AS I LIVE IN NORTHERN INDIANA AND SALT IS THE WAY WE FIGHT OUR SNOW PROBLEM. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR THE FLOOR BOARD TO RUST OUT. IF I WERE DRIVING AN OLDER CAR I WOULD EXPECT THIS. HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A 2006 MODEL CAR. *TR
