NHTSA Complaint #10716838 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT ON LINE , THAT THERE IS AN INFERIOR DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS,THAT INVOLVES WATER ACCUMULATION AND SEVERE RUSTING CLEAR THRU BOTH THE INNER AND LOWER FLOOR BOARDS, ON MOST 2002 TO 2006 NISSAN'S. I CHECKED MY VEHICLE AND FOUND ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE,I HAVE A 6 TO 8 INCH HOLE CLEAR THRU BOTH THE INNER AND LOWER FLOOR BOARDS. THIS CONDITION IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN THAT IN ADDITION TO SOMEONE POSSIBLY FALLING THRU THE HOLE , ENGINE EXHAUST CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES AS WELL AS WATER CAN ENTER THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE WIRING THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE AND RESULT IN DEATH. IN READING ABOUT THIS DEFECT ON LINE IT STATS THAT REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM CAN COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND NISSAN KNEW OF THIS RUST PROBLEM , POOR WATER DRAINAGE CONDITION AND WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL SINCE THIS CONDITION HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE INTER NET ARTICLES STATED THAT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN FILED AND ADVISED PERSONS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM TO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION . I THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION,IN LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER AND AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE. *TR
