2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Structurebody Problems

VEHICLE EXHIBITS SERIOUS RUSTING OF FLOORBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION OTHERWISE (NO VISIBLE RUST ON BODY PANELS) AND THE REST OF THE UNDERBODY IS IN GREAT CONDITION (MINIMAL CORROSION, AS EXPECTED FOR VEHICLE OF ITS AGE). PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD IS NOTICEABLY SOFT ,AND RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE FLOOR PAN IN ONE SPOT (YOU CAN PUT A FINGER THROUGH IT IF CARPET IS REMOVED). THIS IS UNEXPECTED AS THE FLOOR PAN IS COATED WITH A RUBBERIZED UNDERBODY PROTECTANT IN THIS AREA. THE FLOOR PAN MUST BE REPLACED IN THIS AREA, BUT NISSAN ONLY SELLS THE ENTIRE FLOOR PAN FOR THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS QUITE COSTLY. I AM DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I HAVE NO EVIDENCE WHICH INDICATES THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED BY ANY DAMAGE OR NEGLECT, IT SEEMS AS IF THIS IS DUE TO A COATING FAILURE OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA AND MY PASSAGER FLOORBOARDS ARE RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. ITS SEEMS THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THAT SAME ISSUE.

THE FRONT FLOOR PANS HAVE RUSTTED AWAY AND PART OF THE FLOOR IS MISSING DUE TO RUSTING. NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND OFFERED TO INSTALL A FLOOR FIX AT A COST OF $700.

NOTICED WHEN VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, A LARGE RUST HOLE UNDERNEATH PASSENGER SIDE FLOORMAT. PLASTIC LINER TORN AND CARPET VISIBLE FROM UNDERNEATH CAR. AFFECTED AREA IS BETWEEN 14-20". PASSENGER FOOT COULD POTENTIALLY FALL THROUGH FLOOR OF THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION.

I TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC BECAUSE I WAS SMELLING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF EXHAUST IN THE CAR CABIN WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. THE MECHANIC IDENTIFIED A RUST HOLE IN MY EXHAUST JUST PAST THE FRONT CATALYTIC CONVERTER, BUT MORE TROUBLING WAS TWO HUGE HOLES IN THE FLOOR BOARDS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. EACH RUST HOLE IS APPROXIMATELY 12 INCHES LONG X 4 INCHES WIDE AND THE PADDING AN CARPET CAN CLEARLY BE SEEN FROM UNDERNEATH. EVEN AFTER EXHAUST IS FIXED I AM STILL AT GREAT RISK OF ROAD DEBRIS AND MOISTURE ENTERING THE CABIN FROM BENEATH THE CAR. THIS CAR IS JUST 10 YEARS OLD AND THE REST OF THE BODY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH LITTLE TO NO RUST. I LIVE IN A SALT BELT STATE BUT OTHER CARS OF THE SAME AGE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I'VE LEARNED THROUGH MEDIA AND WEB...

I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY RUST ISSUES WITH MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. BY FAR THE WORST IS THE RISK OF MY FEET GOING THROUGH THE FLOORMAT DUE TO RUST OF THE FLOORBOARDS. IT IS EXPERIENCED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AS WELL AS A SLIGHT RUST OF THE PASSENGERS SIDE. I FEAR THAT I AM IN HARM AND CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIR TO MAKE SURE I AM SAFE IN MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN USING MY CAR LIGHTLY FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN EXTENSIVE PREMATURE RUSTING ON THE FLOOR BOARDS OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS CORROSION HOLES THROUGH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE HOLES HAD TO BE COVERED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. THE DIAGNOSIS AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD HAD EXTENSIVE CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FLOOR BOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTED THROUGH. CAR ONLY HAS 105,000 MILES.

I WAS TOLD WHILE HAVING SERVICE AT NISSAN THAT BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR BOARDS WERE ROTTING AWAY, AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT MY OIL PAN WAS RUSTING OUT. THIS SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE SUB FRAME OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT AND THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT HAD EXTENSIVE RUST AND CORROSION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT FLOOR PAN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

DURING OIL CHANGE NOTICED THAT BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANS WERE RUSTED THROUGH COMPLETELY. ONLY THING LEFT WAS THE INTERIOR CARPET BETWEEN THE ROAD AND A DRIVER OR PASSENGER.

I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR TODAY AT A PARKING LOT AND FOUND OUT THAT BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE FRONT FLOOR BOARD IS RUSTING VERY HEAVILY. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND SAME PLACE IN THE CAR. MY CAR HAS NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE BUT ONLY UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I AM AFRAID THAT VERY SOON IT WILL DEVELOP INTO A HOLE IN MY CAR AND I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD UNDER MY FEET FROM INSIDE. THIS IS VERY TERRIFYING AND I BELIEVE THIS IS HIGH RISK SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO MANY ALTIMA OWNERS, IT IS A DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT THE FLOORBOARDS OF THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WERE CORRODED AND RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

RUSTING OF FLOORBOARD PANEL ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. THIS WAS DISCOVERED AS PART OF PREPURCHASE INSPECTION. DUE TO ISSUE BUYER WAS NO LONGER INTERESTED DUE TO COST OF REPAIR

THE PART OF THE FLOOR BOARDS DIRECTLY BENEATH WHERE BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WOULD NORMALLY PLACE THEIR FEET HAS RUSTED THROUGH TO THE EXTENT THAT ONLY CARPETING AND INSULATION MATERIAL PREVENTS THE FEET FROM GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR TO THE GROUND. THE LOCAL " CAROUSEL NISSAN " DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTED THE DAMAGE BUT WILL ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY. THE DAMAGE WAS NOTICED WHEN A PIECE OF THE CARPET OR INSULATION WAS SEEN HANGING UNDER THE CAR.

BOTH MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. I HAVE A 12" LONG HOLE ON ONE OF THE SIDES. NISSAN DOESN'T COVER IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE BY ANY MEANS. I CAN PUT MY ENTIRE FOOT THROUGH THE HOLE! MY SEAT CAN BECOME LESS STABLE, FUMES CAN COME IN, WHO KNOWS. THE COST TO FIX IT IS MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. NO RECALL PERIOD, AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AND SHE WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT SHE HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. SAME SPOTS, SAME RUST. ALSO, BOTH CARS WERE GARAGED.

DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR PAN RUST THROUGH. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2002 TO 2006 ALTIMA AND MAXIMA MODELS. A RECALL SHOULD BE PERFORMED. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGER, AND VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS EXTENSIVE RUST AND CORROSION ON THE FLOORBOARDS.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. UPDATED 11/20/15*LJ *CN

THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE UNDER NEATH THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUT YOUR HAND THROUGH AND PUSH UP INTO THE CARPET ON INSIDE OF CAR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE FLOORS BOARDS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES HAVE RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING A PROBLEM WITH FUMES IN THE CAR

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS ARE BOTH RUSTED OUT. I'M WORRIED I WILL EVENTUALLY PUT MY FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR.

FLOORBOARDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDES ARE RUSTING OUT. INITIAL HOLES WERE NOTICED YEARS AGO. HOLES HAVE BECOME MUCH LARGER. I CAN LITERALLY TOUCH CARPET FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A RUSTED HOLE UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FLOOR PAN WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

EXTREME RUST ON THE FLOOR PANEL. FLOOR PANEL ON DRIVER'S SIDE COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT.

HAD NORMALLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON 2006 ALTIMA TO INCLUDE TIRE ROTATION. DISCOVERED THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS ON FRONT ON BOTH SIDES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH, I CAN SEE THE CARPET. WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION, HAVE CONTACTED A GARAGE FOR REPAIR COSTS. MY CAR IS CARPORT KEPT, I WASH WEEKLY AND IS KEPT SPOTLESS. AFTER READING THE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE DRIVEN NISSANS FOR 25 YEARS, EVEN MY 14 YR. OLD SENTRA WASN'T RUSTED WHEN I SOLD IT.

DOOR HANDLES BROKE OFF IN MY HAND PREVENTING ENTRY INTO THE CAR WITHOUT GREAT DIFFICULTY

DUE TO POOR DESIGN OR QUALITY OF MATERIAL USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE FLOOR BOARDS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH . YOU CAN SEE THE UNDERSIDE OF MY CARPET FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE . I AM IN FEAR OF POTENTIAL "CRUMPLE ZONE" / WEAKENING OF THE CAR WHEN IN FRONT END COLLISION DUE TO THE RUSTED OUT AREA AND THE SECURITY OF MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT DURING ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE SEAT MOUNTING HOLES ARE NEAR RUSTED/WEAKENED AREA . I AM IN FEAR TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR OR SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE TO DRIVE .. IN ADDITION .. THE COST TO FIX THE PROBLEM AREAS FAR EXCEED THE BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR .. THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A RARE VEHICLE THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND MILLIONS...

MY ELDERLY PARENT JUST TOOK THEIR 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, GARAGE KEPT WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. I WAS SHOCKED WHEN THE TECHNICAL EXPLAINED THAT THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, SOON PAVEMENT UNDERNEATH THEIR FEET. THEY TOOK PICTURES TO PROVE THE DAMAGE AND SUBMIT TO NISSAN FOR REPAIR. APPARENTLY NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM, BUT DOESN'T WANT TO PAY TO FIX (ABOUT $1000) OR DO A [XXX] THING ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED! THIS IS A OUTRAGE!!!!!!! NISSAN KNOWINGLY BUILT THE PIECE OF [XXX] CAR, WITH CRAPPY, RUSTY METAL AND SOLD THE CARS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, BUT NOW WHAT'S TO BLAME THE CONSUMER FOR THE PROBLEM, WE DIDN'T BUILD THE CAR....NISSAN DID!!!!! THIS IS NOT ONLY ROAD A HAZARD, BUT A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THEY DRIVE A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY ABOUT TWICE A WEEK, DOING...

UPON INSPECTION OF MY CAR. AND SEEING NEWS REPORTS ABOUT 2002 TO 2006 NISSAN ALTIMAS. MY FLOORS ON BOTH SIDES ARE FULLY ROTTED OUT. THE REST OF THE CAR IS SOLID. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS UR FEET CAN GO THRU THE FLOOR. I HAVE PICTURES . NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL OR A FIX FOR THIS...

MY NISSAN ALTIMA'S DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANELS ARE RUSTED. THE RUST IS STARTING FROM THE INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE LEADING TO HOLES IN THE FLOOR PANELS. I WENT TO NISSAN DEALERSIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE VERY WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH ALTIMA. IT IS DUE TO A DESIGN ERROR IN THE FLOOR PANEL WHICH HAS BUILD IT HOLES FROM FACTORY WHICH LETS THE MOISTURE AND WATER INSIDE THE FLOOR PANELS LEADING TO RUSTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FLOORBOARDS ON BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WERE CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

BOTH THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THE CARPET IS THE ONLY THING KEEPING YOUR FEET FROM GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR AND TOUCHING THE HIGHWAY. FROM READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE DUE TO A FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING / ENGINEERING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHY IS IT NOT BEING ADDRESSED AND REMEDIED BY NISSAN ?

WITHIN THE LAST THREE WEEKS I OBSERVED A RUSTED PIECE OF METAL EXTENDING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF MY VEHICLE UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE. I TOOK IT TO A MEINEKE LOCATION AND HAD THEM LOOK AT THE UNDERSIDE. IT IS EXTENSIVELY RUSTED AND NEEDS TO HAVE SHEET METAL WELDED FROM THE INSIDE TO PREVENT MY FOOT/FEET FROM HITTING THE ROAD. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN 2010 WITH 66000 MILES. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND SEE THAT IT IS SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD E HELD RESPONSIBLE.

WHILE I HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, THE TECH NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOME RUSTED METAL UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE. UPON INSPECTION HE FOUND A 15"X10" HOLE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. THIS VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 85,000 MILES AND IS GARAGED. I NOTIFIED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, WHICH I DID ON 7/3/15. THEY TOOK PICTURES AND SENT THEM TO NISSAN CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. AFTER SEVERAL EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS GOING BACK AND FORTH , THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILES HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED CASE. SEVERAL MORE NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLE. I AM HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR SAFETY REASONS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL...

FLOORBOARDS ARE RUSTING THROUGH ON DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IF A HOLE OPENS OR IF SOMETHING COMES THROUGH FROM THE UNDERSIDE.

MY ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSNEGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD HAS ROTTED OUT COMPLETELY. IM TALKING I CAN PUT MY FOOT THROUGH IT. I HEAD ALL OF IT FALL OUT DRIVING DOWN THE I-90. THIS CAR IS RUST FREE FROM FLORIDA. THIS IS SUCH BS AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

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.

THE FLOOR BOARD (PAN) UNDER DRIVER LEFT FOOT IS RUSTED. THERE IS A HOLE ABOUT 4 BY 8 INCHES BIG.

BOTH FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTED ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WE WERE CHANGING THE TIRES AND NOTICED THE SERIOUS RUSTING OUT OF BOTH FLOOR BOARDS.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE GARAGE INFORMED ME THAT THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS RUSTED OUT SO BAD THAT YOU COULD TOUCH THE CARPET FROM THE BOTTOM. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS RUSTED WITH A HOLE BUT NOT AS BIG AS THE DRIVER SIDE. I AM NOT SURE WHY NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS BEING THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING IT WILL NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION.

PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND MY UNDER-PADDING IS EXPOSED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAVE ROOTED OUT ALMOST COMPLETELY ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. I HAVE NOTICED THIS A ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IT HAS GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE SINCE. I CAN PUSH THE CARPET UP FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE. I AM CAREFUL NOT TO PUT WEIGHT ON THE FLOORS WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR I AM GOING TO PUT MY FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A FLAWED DESIGN IN THE DRAIN SYSTEM. THE FLOORBOARDS HOLD WATER WHICH MAY ACCUMULATE THROUGH THE DOOR WHILE RAINING AND SALT AND WATER FROM THE UNDER SIDE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AND MAKE NISSAN FIX THESE VEHICLES THAT COULD STAY ON THE ROAD FOR MANY MORE YEARS. MY CAR HAS 109K MILES ON IT AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND RUNS VERY WELL. I DON'T WANT...

OBSERVED FRONT PASSENGER FLOORBOARD RUSTED/ROTTED COMPLETELY THROUGH WITH HOLE TO INTERIOR CABIN ALLOWING CARBON MONOXIDE / FUME INGRESS. OBSERVED FRONT DRIVER FLOORBOARD CORROSION AND STRUCTURAL FAILURE IN PROCESS. *TR

I HAVE A 20006 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE FLOOR BOARD IS CORRODING UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SEAT I CALL NISSAN AND THEY SAID THAT THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM SO THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBILITY THIS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THEY ARE OTHER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

DRIVER FLOOR BOARD RUSTED OUT AND FELT APART, I CAN START TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING, PLEASE ISSUES THIS MATTER ASAP. *TR

I DISCOVERED BOTH FLOOR PAN/BOARDS UNDER THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED THROUGH. I HAD BEEN TRACKING THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS, I FINALLY HAD TO PURCHASE BOTH NEW FLOOR PANS $171.00 EACH AND HAVE THEM REPLACED BY A PROFESSIONAL REPAIR SHOP AFTER OI REMOVED THE INTERIOR AND REINSTALLED IT ONCE THE REPAIR WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT A PRICE OF $799,00. THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE FLOOR IN PLACE PRIOR TO REPAIR WAS THE SOUND PROOFING UNDER THE CARPET. THE POOR RELIEF OR DRAINING OF WATER UNDER THE VEHICLE WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS VEHICLES PROBLEM. *TR

JUST WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA WHICH HAD SEVERE RUST UNDER BOTH SIDES OF CAR UNDER THE SEATS. AT THE TIME IT WAS NOTICED THE CAR HAD 55823 MILES AND WAS SERVICED AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THE PREVIOUS 4 YEARS AND JUST 3 MONTHS PRIOR BEING NOTICED. ALTHOUGH I HAD TO PAY SAID DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR AFTER FIGHTING WITH NISSAN AND DEALERSHIP FOR 3 MONTHS. JUST WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT AFTER SEEING ARTICLE ON TV NEWS. ALTHOUGH CAR WAS 7 YRS. OLD IT SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED WITH 55000 MILES ON IT. NISSAN MOTORS WOULD NOT PAY COST FOR REPAIR.($740.00). I KNOW NISSAN IS BIG CORP. BUT EITHER THEY OR DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. BIG BUSINESS WINS AGAIN. *TR

I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA TO THE DEALER AND A PRIVATE AUTO MECHANIC TO HAVE IT LOOKED OVER BEFORE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE PRIVATE MECHANIC SHOWED ME UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS ON THE LIFT AND THE ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR IS RUSTED ALMOST THROUGH. BOTH NISSAN AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY SAID THIS REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED, IN FACT IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY POLICY IT EXPLICITLY EXCLUDES THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL BE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS MY FEET WILL EVENTUALLY GO THROUGH THE FLOOR. *TR

ON OR ABOUT THE ABOVE DATE, WE TOOK THE ABOVE VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. THE DEALER CONTACTED US STATING THAT THEY NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS HAD RUSTED THROUGH. THIS WAS RATHER A SURPRISE, THEY HAD NOT NOTICED IT BEFORE...WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SAME DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT FROM THEM. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS ON THIS YEAR AND TYPE VEHICLE BEFORE, "THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO RUST OUT". HE ALSO STATED THAT WE SHOULD GET IT REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DUE TO OUR CONCERN FOR SAFETY, WE HAD AN AUTOBODY SHOP REPAIR IT. *TR
