NHTSA Complaint #10723706 — 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION AND LEARNED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD WAS RUSTED ENTIRELY THROUGH. THE ONLY THING BETWEEN ME AND THE ROAD WAS THE FLOOR MAT. THE CAR DID NOT PASS INSPECTION AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC HE WAS SHOCKED AT WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. I TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP AND LIKEWISE HE COULDN'T BELIEVE FROM THE LOOK OF THE CAR (WHICH HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED) THAT IT WOULD BE RUSTED OUT LIKE IT IS. THAT LED ME TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON COMPLAINT AND THAT CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I WANT TO LODGE MY COMPLAINT AND ADD IT TO THE OTHERS WHO HAVE NOTIFIED YOU OF THIS SERIOUS SAFETY RISK POSED BY THIS DEFECT.
