Consumer Description

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD HAS RUSTED THROUGH. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A LOCAL WELDING SHOP I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A "TYPICAL" ISSUE WITH OLDER NISSAN'S. THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON ABOUT 6 NISSAN'S IN MY AREA. I FEEL EVEN IF A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN CALLED, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED SOMEHOW OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AS THIS IS NOT JUST A RARE OCCURRENCE. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 107,000 MILES AND I AM BAFFLED HOW THE OTHER BODY AREAS SHOW NO SIGNS OF RUST WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE AREA OF FLOORBOARD. I AM NOT PROVIDING A PHOTO AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED NATIONALLY FOR SOME TIME NOW AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR ANYTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT. YOU CAN GOOGLE "NISSAN FLOORBOARD RUST" IF YOU NEED A VISUAL.
