Consumer Description

MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS VERY BADLY RUSTED FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM STARTED BACK IN APPROXIMATELY 2010. I WAS WALKING AWAY FROM THE CAR AN LOOKED BACK AND SAW SOMETHING HANGING BELOW THE CAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT APPEARED TO BE A SURFACE SHEET OF METAL SO I WASN'T TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT AND FIGURED I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAPPENED TO GET A BAD CAR. BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE. THERE ARE LARGE HOLES THAT GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD. I HEARD ABOUT THE NEWS STORY ON NBC AND WANTED TO BE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM AND HOW MANY PEOPLE CARS ARE AFFECTED. I WOULD APPRECIATE BEING UPDATED IF THERE IS ANY NEWS ON THIS APPARENTLY COMMON PROBLEM OR HOW I CAN RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *TR
