NHTSA Complaint #11144933 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH SIDES ARE RUSTING OUT. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ESPECIALLY BAD. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW BUT JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. ALSO THE PAINT ONT THE HOOD, TOP AND EXTERIOR REVIEW MIRRORS HAS FADED. OTHERWISE THE CAR SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. IT HAS 119,560 MILES ON IT AND I PLANNED ON USING IT FOR A WHILE LONGER. WE HAVE OWNED A TOTAL OF 5 NISSANS BEGINNING IN IN 1989 AND ALL HAVE BEEN GOOD VEHICLES. WE ARE CURRENTLY LEASING A ROGUE. I AM HOPING THAT NISSAN WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN OWNER FOR MANY YEARS I'M NOT PAST CHANGING BRANDS, AND WILL WHEN THIS LEASE IS UP IF THEY CAN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE FLOOR BOARDS AT THE VERY LEAST. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD CAUSE ISSUES IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. ONE IS EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAR, ANOTHER WOULD BE OBJECTS FROM THE ROAD FLYING UP THROUGH THE FLOOR AND INJURING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER.
