2005 Nissan Altima 4-DR.

The Air Bag Warning Light is Flashing

THIS HAPPENED ON SATURDAY APRIL 03, 2021. I HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH NISSAN ALTIMA 2005. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR ON A HIGHWAY HERE IN MADISON WISCONSIN, WHERE ALL THE SUDDEN A ROAD CONSTRUCTION TRUCK COMING FROM THE WORK AREA (CENTER OF THE HIGHWAY) TRIED TO SNICK AND CROSSED WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE UPCOMING TRAFFIC. THEN, I TRIED TO BRAKE, BUT NO WAY TO PREVENT THE CRASH FROM HAPPENING, SO I HIT THAT TRUCK FROM HIS PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER THE "T", MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, SO I HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED THAT THE AMBULANCE TOOK ME TO UW HOSPITAL FOR EMERGENCY CARE. THEREFORE, I GOT EXPOSED TO THE DANGER BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND PROTECT ME. SO, THE AIRBAGS WERE WORKING IN MY CAR.

THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DROP ALL THE WAY TO E. NO WARNING LIGHT THAT FUEL IS LOW. WHILE ON A CITY STREET, ON THE ON RAMP TO AN INTERSTATE MY CAR'S ENGINE JUST STOPPED, NO SPUTTER, NO LAGGING JUST 3K RPM TO 0 RPM. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL AND COAST TO THE SHOULDER ON THE ON RAMP. UNABLE TO RESTART ENGINE. CRANKED BUT NONSTART. ADDED FUEL AND CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. AT THE TIME OF THE STALL THE FUEL GAUGE READ APPROXIMATELY 33/8 OF A TANK OF GAS. PRIOR TO THIS OCCURING, WHEN TANK WOULD GET LOW THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AROUND 1/8TH OF A TANK.. ABOUT HALFWAY BEEN THE 1/4 MARK AND E. SINCE THIS OCCURED I HAVE TESTED THE FUEL PUMP, SENDING UNIT AND FUEL LEVEL FLOAT, AND THEY ALL TEST OK.. WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED AFTER THIS THE FUEL GAUGE MOVED BACK UP TO THE FULL MARK (SLIGHTLY ABOVE,) SO THE NEEDLE IS NOT STUCK.

WHEN IM DRIVING AND GOING TO MAKE A STOP I PRESS THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATES BRIEFLY UNTIL I LIFT MY FOOT AND REPRESS MY BRAKES AND THEN CAR WILL STOP SUMTIMES IF NOT REACCELERATE AND I HAVE TO REPRESS BRAKE AGAIN.

WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS ENGINE? THIS CAR HAS LESS THAT 120K MILES. IT SEEMS I GET A LOT OF INTERFERENCE WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY FORCE SPEED CAUSING ME TO SWERVE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN MY PHONE IS PLUGGED IN IT SEEMS TO MISFIRE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON. H2O SENSORS COME ON, CACHE FILES ABOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM LANDS ON MY PHONE. SAMSUNG HAS SUBMITTED TESTS ON MY SPEN THAT ARE AFFECTING MY SAFETY. FCC ID A3LEJPN970 FCC ID A3LSMN970U. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CAR ACCIDENTS SINCE BUYING SAMSUNG PHONES. THE CARS WILL INCREASE SPEED AS IF I AM READY TO RUN INTO A BRICK WALL. THIS CAR DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF MILEAGE BUT SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE TIMING AND ENGINE. I CAN BE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, IT IS CONSTANTLY AFFECTING THE FUEL SYSTEM.

AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BELT BECAUSE THE BELT FROM COMING OFF YOU CHANGE THE SERPENTINE BELT AND THEN IT WOULD RUN FOR A LITTLE BIT THEN IT STARTED TO STOP AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET ENOUGH FUEL TO THE GAS PEDAL AND I'D HAVE TO REV IT UP. WE OPENED IT UP WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS WERE ON THE VALVE COVERS AND IT WAS HALFWAY FULL OF OIL WE GOT ALL THE OIL OUT WHEN WE ORDERED A NEW VALVE COVER AND SPARK PLUGS THE CAR RUN FINE FOR ONE DAY NOW IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. THE FAN TURNS ON LIKE IT IS RUNNING BUT THERE IS NO POWER TO THE CAR AT ALL. I READ THAT AFTER THE OIL GETS INTO THE VALVE COVERS THERE'S REALLY NO FIXING IT AFTER THAT. AND EVERY TIME THAT WE FIX IT ONLY LAST FOR ONE DAY AND SO IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN THAT UNRELIABLE CAR WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THE RECALL.

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CRANK SHAFT. IT RUNS ROUGH IT STALLS AND THE GAS MILEAGE IS VERY OFF

BROUGHT THE CAR AUGV18TH WARRANTY ENDED SEP 18TH.INTHAT TIME CAR WAS TAKEN BACK FOR ENGINE RELATED ISSUES ALSO NO HEAT WAS .THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TWICE FOR REPAIRS.THEN YESTERDAY CAR STOPPED RUNNING COMPLETLY ON SEPT 23RD.THEY SAID THE REPAIRED THE CAR AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME ON SEPT 19TH

I REMEMBER GETTING INTO HIGHWAY ACCELERATING, IT DID NOT WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT GEAR SUDDENLY IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS OFF. I FREAK OUT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT THE WALL OF THE BRIDGE. I WAS HANGING FROM THE BRIDGE. I CALLED NISSAN AFFAIRS AND THEY DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. MY VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS... THE CASE WITH NISSAN AFFAIRS CASE#38420940. BERENIZ AND DAKOTA WERE THE INVESTIGATORS ON THE CASE.

TRANSMISSION SLAMS FROM DRIVE MODE AND THEN TO REVERSE WHEN HOT IN DRIVE IT SLIPS TRANS MISSION SLAMS WHEN SHIFTING AT A STATIONARY POSITION ,SLIPS WHEN CAR IS WARMED UP AND DRIVING ON HIGHWAY,SLIPS MORE ON INCLIDINGROADS. *TR

I WAS GIFTED THIS CAR BACK IN APRIL AND SINCE THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE IN MOTION A Z WHILE DRIVING WITH NO NOTICE. I'VE GOTTEN INTO 1 ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS. *TR

CATALYTIC CONVERTER! AND PRECAT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS HOWEVER, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE REQUIRED A JUMP START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

SAW SOMETHING HANGING FROM BENEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. KNEEING I FOUND RUSTED METAL HANGING AND CARPETING HANGING THROUGH A RUST HOLE. CHECKING I FOUND THE SAME RUSTING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR BOARD.

RECENTLY IVE BEEN GETTING THE RED AIRBAG SIGNAL THAT KEEPS FLASHING AND WONT GO OFF. IVE CHECKED THE FUSES. WIRING. RAN DIAHNOSTICS ON IT FOR THAT AND THE FOLLOWING ISSUES AS WELL. THE CAR MAKES A HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN ITS JUST IDELING THAT SEEMS TO COME FEOM UNDERNEATH THE CAR MAYBE TOWARDS BACK MIDDLE IVE GOTTEN A NEW FUEL PUMP CHECKED WIRING FUSES AND BOUGHT OTHER NEW PARTS AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. ALSO THE GAS GAUGE WONT READ AFTER THE HALF WAY POINT. IVE TRIED TO RESET IT CALIBRATE IT AND NOTHING. DURING COLD DAYS THE GAS GAUGE READS CORRECTLY UNTIL THE CAR WARMS UP. MO THS HAVE GONE BY AND NOTHING SO FAR

GOT 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S, RECENTLY CAME TO FIND OUT THAT MY CAR HAS A FEET SIZED RUST HOLES SHOWING FLOOR CARPET BENEATH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. THESE RUST HOLES AT THE BOTTOM OF CAR WERE NOT ONLY CAUSING SAFETY RISK FOR PEOPLE IN THE CAR BUT ALSO SENDS FUMES, CARBON MONOXIDE, FOUL SMELLS, HUMIDITY AND ROAD NOISE INTO THE CAR INTERIOR CAUSING HEALTH RISKS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AT QUALITY OF NISSAN'S AUTOMOTIVE AND NISSAN AUTHORIZED DEALERS WHO NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THIS DEFECT AFTER PERFORMING MULTI POINT INSPECTIONS, EVEN WHEN MY CAR WAS WITHIN EXTENDED WARRRANTY PERIOD. I REALLY HOPE TO GET JUSTIFICATION.

MY CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT AS I INCREASE MY SPEED, I HAVE TO DRIVE AT 30MPH OR LESS TO KEEP ME CAR FROM OVERHEATING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK.

THERE IS CORROSION AND RUSTING UNDERNEATH THE BODY OF THE CAR ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.

I'VE CALLED TO SEE IF THERE'S A RECALL ON THE CAR FUEL SYSTEM TO BE EXACT FUEL GAUGE IS READING FULL IS BROKEN.READS FULL WHEN THERE'S ONLY 5 TO 6 GALLONS OF GAS.THEY WON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT FREE OF CHARGE TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS.THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING OR SITTING.

FLOOR RUSTING OUT ON FRONT DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE. BROKEN FRAME IN REAR. JUST BOUGHT CAR. UPON FIXING FLOOR ON DRIVER SIDE, DISCOVERED LARGER HOLE ON PASSENGER SIDE. THOUGHT ISSUE IN BACK WAS SUSPENSION, BUT BUT UPON INSPECTION BROKEN FRAME.

1. THREE HANDLES ON THE NISSAN ALTIMA ON MY CAR HAVE SNAPPED OFF WHEN OPENING. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THEM THEY STILL SNAP OFF PROBABLY BECAUSE IN COLD WEATHER THEY BECOME BRITTLE. IF HE HANDLES WERE METAL THEY WOULD NOT SNAP OFF. MY CONCERN IS IF DURING AN ACCIDENT BEFORE EMERGENCY VEHICLES COULD ARRIVE THAT IF SOMEONE WERE TO TRY TO ASSIST GETTING ME OUT OF THE CAR THE HANDLES WOULD SNAP OFF AND THEY COULD NOT REMOVE ME FROM THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THE HANDLES ON CARS SHOULD NOT SNAP OFF AND PLASTIC HANDLES ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN ALL CLIMATES. 2. I HAVE HAD MY FRONT HEADLIGHTS CLEANED THREE TIMES AND THEY ALWAYS FOG UP WITHIN SEVERAL WEEKS OF CLEANING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID IT IS FAULTY DESIGN AND TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMPS IS CLOSE TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS WITH 1 YEAR GUARANTEE WHICH IS VERY COST PROHIBITIVE. I HAVE SEEN CARS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD WITH OPAQUE HEAD LAMPS THIS IS UNACCETABLE AND DANGEROUS THAT LIGHTS CAN NOT PROJECT LIGHT APPROPRIATELY AND THIS IS ON MOST MODELS OF CARS. IF YOU ARE IN RURAL AREAS AND THE LIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT LIGHT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT METAL HANDLES AND DURABLE HEADLIGHT COVERS THAT DON'T FOG ARE NOT REQUIRED OF THESE COMPANIES. UNTIL THE LAST 15-20 YEARS THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM BUT CAR MANUFACTURERS ARE OPTING FOR CHEAP MATERIALS THAT CAN HAVE LETHAL REPERCUSSIONS FOR CRUCIAL SAFETY ITEMS. CAR HANDLES AND HEAD LAMPS AS FAR AS SAFETY ARE AS CRUCIAL AS PROPER AIRBAG FUNCTION. HANDLES SHOULD NOT SNAP OFF IN YOUR HANDS AND HEADLAMPS IF CLEANED SHOULD REMAIN CLEAN AND NOT FOGGY AND THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS CONCERN.

HELLO BACK DOOR NOT OPENING AND IT IS NOT UNDER JUN TAMONTE IT IS CARLOS .

NISSAN ALTIMA 2005 2.5 ENGINE WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT START. REPLACED CAM AND CRANK SENSORS, FUEL PUMP,PLUGS,VALVE COVER. WHEN IT DOES START YOU HAVE TURN PUSH ACCELERATOR 2/3DOWN AND CRANK FOR OVER 15 SECONDS. SOMETIME START, MAYBE NOT. ALSO GAS COULD PLUGS AFTER SITTING FOR WHILE

SAW SOMETHING HANGING FROM UNDER THE CAR. GOT ON MY KNEES TO SEE, AND FOUND A LOOSE PIECE OF METAL ABOUT 4 INCHES SQUARE. GOOGLED 2005 ALTIMA RUSTED FLOOR IBOARDS, AND FOUND OUT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHERS. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SAW RUSTED HOLE IN FLOORBOARDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM A PRIVATE OWNER. UPON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A HOLE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR.

I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH THE CAR LETTING OUT ALOT OF EXHAUST.DOESNT GO PAST 35MPH

TAKATA RECALL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WENT OUT.

ENGINE IS HAVING ISSUES AFTER HAVING CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CAM SENSOR REPLACED. THE PART THAT'S HAVING ISSUES HAS BEEN RECALLED.

TAKARA RECALL. SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING ALSO MY MUFFLER IS GOING. CHECK ENGINE HAS BEEN ON BUT STARTED BLINKING WHEN SENSOR'S STARTED ACTING UP. CANT AFFORD TO FIX THIS BEING HOW I'M A SINGLE MOTHER AND LOW INCOME. I HERD ABOUT THIS RECALL ON MY 05 ALTIMA. AND HAD TO CHECK IT OUT.

I WAS ON A BACK COUNTRY ROAD AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED

I HAVE HAD TWO ALTIMAS AND ON BOTH THE HEADS CONSISTENTLY GOES OUT ON THEM.

OIL SERVICE TURNED INTO 3K OUT OF POCKET COST IN CROSSVILLE TN WHEN J AND R SERVICED MY CAR. THEY INSISTED ON CRACKING OPEN THE ENGINE BLOCK TO REPLACE GASKETS THAT DID NOT NEED REPAIR. CAUSED SMOKING-IMPROPER PRESSURE AND OTHER PROBLEMS. BURNS MASSIVE AMTS OF OIL NOW. DID NOT BEFORE THE SERVICE- CYL4 FLOODS W OIL- MASSIVE PROBLEMS W OIL FLOODING SINCE. REPAIRED TWICE- BOTH TIMES I WAS TAKEN FOR MORE $$.

RUSTED FLOOR PANEL DRIVER SIDE SO FAR.

2005 ALTIMA 2.5SL, 150000 MILES. THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS SAGGING, SO I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND IT WAS GONE. THE FLOORBOARD HAD RUSTED ITSELF AWAY AND THE SEAT IS AT RISK OF FALLING OFF IN A CAR ACCIDENT. IT HAS RUSTED MORE THAN ANY CAR OF ITS AGE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND REALISED THIS NOT A YEAR AFTER.

FLOORBOARDS/UNDERCARRIAGE OF VEHICLE UNDER FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS IS ROTTED/RUSTED AWAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE CARPET. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS ALL OF ITS YEARS AND NOW VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING PRACTICE. APPEARS OCCUPANTS OF THE FRONT SEATS COULD AT SOME POINT FALL THROUGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM JOHNSON NISSAN (2200 SCOTTSVILLE RD, BOWLING GREEN, KY 42104, (270) 781-6770), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 230,000.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA BECAUSE OF OVER HEATING DUE TO A FAILING CRANKSHAT/CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH CAUSES CAR TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE VEHICLE TO CRASH. WELL MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT YET HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO SENSOR GETTING HOT AND CAUSING CAR TO STALL AND DECREASE SPEED DRAMATICALLY. AND WITH NISSAN NOT RECALLING MY VIN FOR THE SAME OBVIOUS REASONS FOR THE RECALL. SO I'M BEING FORCED TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE CAR THAT I'VE LET NISSAN KNOW IS DEFECTED, THUS ENDANGERING MYSELF AND THE PUBLIC. IT'S AS THOUGH I HAVE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEN HAVE TO SUE NISSAN BECAUSE OF NEGLET AND ALLOWING ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES CONTINUE TO OPERATE KNOWING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH ITS SAFETY. SO I MAY BE FORCED TO HAVE PROBLEM FIXED BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRS.

LOOSES MOMENTUM OCCASIONALLY WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IN THE LAST 2WEEKS IT STARTED. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN FINE. RECENTLY IT JUST DIES AS YOUR DRIVING.

FUEL CUSTER GAGE

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.

NISSAN HAS RECALLED MY CAR UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN # 3213-3192, FOR ROTTED REAR SUBFRAME DUE TO NORTH EASTERN NORTH AMERICAN WINTER CLIMATE AND USE OF SALT. NISSAN REPLACED THE SUBFRAME . THE RECALL SHOULD AND MUST INCLUDE THE FRONT SUBFRAME ALSO. THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH ROTTED SUBFRAME OCCURRED WITH THE FRONT SUBFRAME THAT SUPPORTS THE FRONT WHEELS, STEERING & BRAKING. PLEASE INVESTIGATE INTO NISSAN REASON FOR NOT EXTENDING THE RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE BOTH SUBFRAMES NOT ONE FOR IDENTICAL CONDITIONS. AT THE MINIMUM , NISSAN SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED UNDERCOATING TO PROTECT THE REST OF THE FRAME & SUBMEMBERS TO THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR REPLACEMENT & UNDERCOATING. IT IS OBVIOUS THE CAR WAS NOT PREPARED FOR USE IN NEW ENGLAND STATES AT TIME OF PURCHASE. *DSY

FRONT PASSENGER SUB FRAME ROTTED FROM SALT USED IN NEW ENGLAND WINTERS. CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE POSSIBLITY OF SEPARATION OF LOWER CONTROL ARM TO SUB FRAME MOUNTS. CAR FRAME WAS NOT PROPERLY COATED FOR NEW ENGLAND REGION.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR KEEPS DYING OUT OF NO WHERE. THE BATTERY LIGHT IS ON, THE OIL LIGHT IS ON, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I WENT TO OREILLYS AND SAID IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR:

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN. I RELY ON MY CAR DAILY TO GET TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. THE CAR STALLS IN PARK ALL LIGHTS START BLINKING THEN DIES. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AS WELL THE CAR WILL MOVE BUT YOU CANT ACCELERATE ON THE PEDAL THIS HAPPENED IN A TRAFFIC CIRCLE MY FIANCE AND TWO FRIENDS WERE WITH ME AT THE TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I COULD GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT AND DIE OR EVEN KILL MY PASSENGERS. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC RESET MY ECM BUT THIS KEEPS HAPPENING I HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN AND HAVE HAD NO LUCK. I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5SE V6 FOUR DOOR SEDAN AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE I WAS HOPING MY EXPERIENCE WOULD BE AWESOME IVE ALWAYS LIKED THE CARS NOW HONESTLY IM SCARED TO DRIVE IN IT AND WONT RECCOMEND ANYONE GETTING ONE. I HAVENT HAD ANY ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING. ME HAVING THIS CAR IS REQUIRED MEDICALLY. ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY STAYED ON FOR A MONTH THEN JUST SHUT OFF SO NOW I HAVE NO CLUE WHATS GOING ON WITH MY CAR.

THE OTHER DAY I GOT PULLED OVER FOR HAVING NO LIGHTS ON IN THERE REAR BUT MY LIGHTS WERE ON IN THE FRONT I REPLACED THE BULB. THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS ALSO MY PARKING LIGHTS ARE STILL NOT WORKING.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUALLY, WHEN I ASKED DEALER TO LOOK AT THIS, WHILE IN FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT, HE STATED IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TAKE APART THE DASH TO SEE WHY LIGHT STAYED ON. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE CONCERNED WITH THIS, THAT IT MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE?11

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT RESTART WITH THE FUEL GAGE SHOWING 1/4 TANK. IT WAS DETERMINED THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHICH RESULTED IN FUEL LINE REQUIRING CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT OF FUEL PUMP. MULTISERVICE EAGLE TIRE REPLACED MULTIPLE FUEL PUMPS WITH NO SUCCESS. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE SHOP EXPRESSED NO RESOLUTION REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. MULTI SERVICE EAGLE TIRE REMOVED PUMP TO CHECK FOR BENT FLOAT ARM AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OKAY. WHEN TESTING RESISTANCE OF FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WEIRD READING AT BOTTOM END OF SPECTRUM AND IN THE MIDDLE SAW A HIGH RESISTANCE READING. POSSIBLE SENDING UNIT AND/OR GAUGE CLUSTER CONCERN. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN FILLING TANK THE FUEL GAGE REFLECTS 440 MILES AVAILABLE; THIS READING IS USUALLY 330. AFTER USING ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES, REPAIR SHOP RETURNED VEHICLE TO CUSTOMER WITHOUT REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES IF THIS EVENT HAPPENS AGAIN. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS SHARED BY THREE TEENAGERS AND TWO ADULTS. I'M CONCERNED AN ACCIDENT IS INEVITABLE DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC PERIODS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

OVER TWO MONTHS AGO MY GRANDSON OPENED THE OUTSIDE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OF MY NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE HANDLE CAME OFF IN HIS HAND. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY SON CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND SAID THERE WHERE NO RECALLS, EVEN THOUGH HE FOUND THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS. HE ALSO FOUND THE PRICES FOR FIXING WITH A DEALER OR OTHER MECHANIC. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE HANDLE BEING FIXED, IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND PASSED OUT NO ONE COULD OPEN THE DOOR IN A TIMELY MANNER TO REMOVE ME OR OTHERS (IF IT WAS A PASSENGER DOOR) FROM THE VEHICLE. I CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND FILED A CASE A DAY OR SO LATER. I RECEIVED A CALL WITHIN A DAY OR TWO AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND MY CONCERNS BUT I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE IS TOO MANY MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOO MANY MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED PROBLEM AND THE SAFETY CONCERNS BUT NOTHING MADE A DIFFERENCE. I TOLD THE FIRST AGENT WHO INITIALLY TOOK MY CASE, WHEN ASKED WHAT NISSAN COULD DO FOR ME, I SAID GIVE ME A DISCOUNT ON THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF OUTSIDE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED AN EMAIL SURVEY FROM NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND AGAIN EXPRESSED MY CONCERN REGARDING SAFETY AND ALSO THE CONCERNS I RECENTLY HAD REGARDING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I HAD BEEN DEALING WITH SINCE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM THIS PARTICULAR DEALER. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANY MORE FROM NISSAN HEADQUARTERS IN MORE THAN A MONTH. MY SON DID GLUE THE HANDLE BACK FOR ME, BUT JUST RECENTLY IT CAME OFF AGAIN. I MAY NEED TO HAVE IT PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED. IN ORDER TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE, I MUST UNLOCK IT WITH THE REMOTE (I THINK THAT IS WHAT IT IS CALLED) AND LET THE WINDOW DOWN AND REACH IN TO OPEN THE DOOR. AFTER HOLDING THE DOOR HANDLE IN MY HAND, I BELIEVE IT IS JUST MADE OF PLASTIC.

BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH TIMING CHAIN. RECENTLY REPLACED IT 2/6/2013 AND I WAS JUST TOLD THAT IT WENT OUT AGAIN. VERY FRUSTRATING CAUSE IT'S NOT CHEAP TO FIX

APPARENTLY, UPON ME GOOGLING, THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE (RATHER THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR) FOR NISSANS BETWEEN 2002-2006. TO FIX THE CAR WILL COST ME MORE THAN IT IS WORTH. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HOLES IN THE FLOORBOARDS ARE ALSO A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

HOLE ON PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO RUST/CORROSION

CAR SHUTS DOWN NO POWER WILL NOT START. BACK UP ON THE FREEWAY IT JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM WILL KILL ME OR PPL AROUND ME ON THE ROAD. IT WILL STOP AND YOU CAN'T PUT ON YOUR BRAKES NOR STEER TO MOVE TO A SAVE PLACE

I HAD A BIG HOLE ON MY PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL AS DRIVER SIDE ON FLOOR. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS ON. IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME OUT THAT WILL BE SO USEFUL FOR ME. PLEASE TAKE AN ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE; VEHICLE SUDDENLY HAS AN UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER ON HIGHWAY AND WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS. CAMSHAFT SENSORS; SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, UNEXPECTED STALLING OR ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AND NOT RESTART. BOTH VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU ALMOST GET RUN OVER BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU. THEY COME UP ON YOU TOO FAST, CONTINUING THEIR NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS NOT REALIZING YOUR VEHICLES LOSS OF POWER UNTIL THEYRE RIGHT UP ON YOU THEN HAVE TO EITHER SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES OR MAKE SUDDEN LANE CHANGE WITHOUT PROPERLY SIGNALING WARNING OTHER DRIVERS. TIMING CHAIN GUIDE AND TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS; WEAR OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING LOOSENING OF THE TIMING CHAIN, MAKES A VERY LOUD CLANKING OR TICKING SOUND ASBIT HITS THE GUIDE AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. STRUTS MOUNTS; CORRODE AND WEAR OUT CREATING A ROUGH AND UNSTABLE STEERING CONTROL AND CLANKING SOUND AS THE STRUTS HIT WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN ROADWAYS, CRACKS, DRIVEWAYS AND SPEED BUMPS. MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER CAUSE THE VIBRATION AND RATTLING IN THE FRONT END. THIS OCCURS IN THE 3.5 LITER ENGINE. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN SERVICE BULLETINS AND RECALLS ON THE 2.5 LITER ENGINE BUT NOT 3.5. THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME FOR BOTH ENGINES. THE SAME PARTS/MANUFACTURERS ARE USED ON BOTH YET THE 3.5 LITER WASNT INCLUDED. PROBLEMS ARE ONGOING DAILY. ITS VERY UNSAFE.

THE CAR STALLED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. CALLED AAA AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO VILLAGE AUTO IN CHESTER NY .THERE THEY REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS.I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEMS.SOME OF THE CARS WERE VOLUNTARY RECALLED. I CALLED NISSAN TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL GOES BY VIN NUMBER NOT BY THE MAKE AND MODEL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE RECALLED CARS YET MY CAR ISN'T BEING RECALLED. IT'S LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AT NIGHT AND MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A POLICE TURNAROUND AND FIND A LITTLE SAFETY.

CAR WAS INVOLVED IN ONE FRONT END AND TWO REAR END ACCICDENTS OVER THE YEARS ALL REQUIRING EXTENSIVE BODY AND BUMPER REPAIR. IN ALL CASES THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT WITH THE FRONT END ACCIDENT AND AT A SLOW SPEED APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE REAR END INCIDENTS. DIRECTION WAS STRAIGHT IN ALL CASES ON LOCAL STREETS NOT HIGHWAYS. LAST INCIDENT IS NOTED IN "WHEN DID THID HAPPEN" DATA. SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT THE BAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED EVER. IN LIGHT OF THE TAKATA RECALL AND OTHER AIRBAG SYSTEM ON/OFF PROBLEMS WITH NEARLY EVERY MANUFACTURER I AM CONCERED WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. MENTION OF THIS OVER THE YEARS WAS MET WITH DISMISAL BY REPAIR SHOPS AND MANUFACTURE'S DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HOW SAFE IS THIS VEHICLE?

MY CAR IS BEING ILLEGALLY REMOTELY HACKED BY AN I.T. TECHNICIAN BY THE NAME OF [XXX] WHO IS ILLEGALLY HACKING MY VEHICLE WITH BLUETOOTH. HIS BLUETOOTH DEVICE NUMBER THAT COMES UP IS [XXX] (WY STANDS FOR THE FIRST 2 LETTERS OF HIS LAST NAME, 23 IS PART OF HIS DATE OF BIRTH WHICH IS [XXX].) HIS # [XXX]. HIS ADDRESS: [XXX]. HIS EMAIL: [XXX]. [XXX] IS DANGEROUSLY HACKING MY VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. [XXX]IS VERY DANGEROUS HE IS HACKING MY CAR ALMOST DAILY, SEVERAL TIMES DAILY. ***HE DOES EVERYTHING LISTED IN THE FBI IC3 ARTICLED CALLED "MOTOR VEHICLES INCREASINGLY VULNERABLE TO REMOTE EXPLOITS." *** HE HAS DISABLED MY ENGINE EVEN CAUSING 2 CAR ACCIDENTS RECENTLY IN JUNE & JULY 2017 (WHEN I WAS DRIVING UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR), HE HAS DISABLED MY BRAKES, HE HAS HACKED MY TRACTION AT LEAST 100 TIMES AND THE LIGHT COMES ON STATING TCS OFF/SLIP INDICATING THAT THE TRACTION IS DISABLED-THE POLICE TOLD ME TO PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SAYS TCS OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT WILL RESET ITSELF-BUT IT DOESN'T BECAUSE [XXX] IS REMOTELY HACKING MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT A SLOW PACE USUALLY UNDER 10 MILES AN HOUR IS WHEN HE DISABLES MY ENGINE COMPLETELY REMOTELY AND HE CAUSED 2 CAR ACCIDENTS BY DOING THIS. BUT HE DISABLES THE TRACTION AT ANY SPEED OR EVEN BEFORE I TURN THE CAR ON, HE DISABLES IT WITH BLUETOOTH AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON, I HAVE NO TRACTION. HE IS CLEARLY TRYING TO HARM/HURT ME. WHY ELSE WOULD ANYONE DO THIS? HE IS CLEARLY SICK AND HIS SICK DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR IS ESCALATING. EVERYDAY ILLEGALLY DANGEROUSLY REMOTELY HACKS MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES, DISABLED THE TRACTION. AS YOU KNOW, CAR HACKING IS VERY DANGEROUS-HE DOESN'T CARE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR STALLING WHILE IN MOTION DUE TO CRANK SHAFT SENSOR DEFECT, ALSO CAR IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY DUE TO SPEED INPUT SENSOR DEFECT. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, CODES GIVEN DURING DIAGNOSTICS ARE P0335 AND P0725.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE A LITTLE HARD AND WHEN I PULLED OVER THE CAR TURNED OFF AND WOULDN'T START ANYMORE. I HAD TO GET A TOWING TRUCK TO GET HOME AND EVER SINCE MY CAR DOESNT START ANYMORE IT WILL JUST CRANK BUT WONT START.

THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR BOARD IS RUSTED THROUGH. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE NOT TO MENTION YOU CAN SMELL EXHAUST FUMES. NISSANPROBLEMS,COM SAYS: "A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS" BUT NISSAN IS TURNING THEIR BACK SAYING THIS IS NOT A DEFECT.

FLOOR BOARDS DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS COMPLETELY RUSTED THREW. THE REST OF THE CAR HAS NO RUST. HAS BEEN NOTED MANY TIMES IN 2002 TO 2006 ALTIMA'S EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THERE IS A HOLE THREW TO THE GROUND RIGHT UNDER YOU FEET WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT ERRATIC FROM 1 TO SECOND ON UPSHIFTING AND CLUNKS HARD FROM 2 TO 1 ON SLOWING DOWN.

MY CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED THRU A SCANNER SINCE IT WONT START.AT FIRST IT STARTED NOT WANTING TO TURN ON ON THE FIRST TRY. IT DID THAT FOR ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS TIL I DECIDED TO JUST STATION IT...AND NOW IT CRANKS AS IF IT WANTS TO START UP BUT IT DOESNT START UP. SO IVE REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR BUT IT STILL WONT START SO I WAS TOLD ITS THE FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT SO I WAS GOING TO PURCHASE ONE BUT WAS TOLD THERES A RECALL ON SUCH PART FOR NISSAN ALTIMA 2005. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET IT FIXED?

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5SL, PAID $25000 AND I ALSO BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE,ALWAYS SERVICED BY NISSAN DEALER,I DO HAVE ALL THE RECORDS OF DEALER VISIT .NO BODY MENTIONED ME UP TO NOW THAT THERE IS A HEAVY RUST UNDER DRIVER SIDE.I HAVE ONLY 83000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND ALWAYS KEPT IN GARAGE.I WENT TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY ARE ASKING $2500 TO FIX THIS ISSUE,I AM FEELING UNSAFE TO DRIVE, I DO SEE THAT EVERY ONE HAVE SAME ISSUE.THIS IS THE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUE, I NEED YOUR HELP FOR THIS RECALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.PASSENGER SIDE HAVE SAME ISSUE TOO. NOW I DO HAVE A BIG HOLE UNDER MY CARPET. MY WIFE DON'T. WANT TO DRIVE AND I AM ALSO SCARED TO DRIVE.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS... AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES, CAR BEGAN JERKING WHILE IN MOTION FROM STOP OR RED LIGHT.. WOULD BE FINE FOR A WHILE AND THEN AGAIN BEGAN JERKING. AT APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES, TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY NOT WORKING.. CAR IS FINE WHEN ON REVERSE BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND FIRST GEAR WHEN ON DRIVE "D". VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX A CAR THAT OTHER THAN THIS IS IN GREAT CONDITION, CAR IS NOT OPERABLE AT THIS TIME.

TRANSMISSION ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS. IT HESITATES WHILE ACCELERATING AND THEN STOPS OR JERKS.

NISSAN USED PARTS IN THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM WHICH PREMATURELY FAIL AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR AFTER WARRANTY. THE ISSUE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DISCOVERED UNTIL IT HAD ALREADY FAILED AND IN THIS CASE, IS NOT A REPAIR THE OWNER CAN PERFORM ON THEIR OWN. CERTAIN MECHANICS HAVE EVEN CHOSE NOT TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR AND THE ONES WHICH ARE ABLE TO, CHARGE IN THE $2000+ RANGE. WHEN CONTACTING NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAD SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. ONCE THE TIMING IS EFFECTED, THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN SEEM TO HAVE DROPPED IN PERFORMANCE IN WHICH I HAVE VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AND CANNOT READY SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH. THERE IS NO WAY I WAS ABLE TO EVEN CHECK IF THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM HAD SIGNS OF GOING BAD, AND IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS FAULTY SYSTEM CREATES AN UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE MACHINE WHICH NISSAN SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

IN 2008, MY CAR STATED HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS FOR THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2005 ALTIMAS BUT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE CAMSHAFT WAS REPLACE. LAST WEEK MY CAR TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I FORWARDED AN E-MAIL TO NISSAN ASKING WHAT WAS THE PARAMETERS OF THE RECALL AS THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM. THEY RESPONDED THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND TO SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM MY LOCAL DEALER. I HAVE DEALT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST AND THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS SENOR CAN CAUSE MY CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I AM IN FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN ON A NYC HIGHWAY, IN A DESERTED OR HIGH CRIME AREA. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE THAT WOULD MAKE NISSAN PAY FOR THIS $400.00 PLUS REPAIR?

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA AND BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR BOARDS RUSTED THROUGH TOTALLY. WOULD NOT PASS PA. INSPECTION. PER MY MECHANIC RUSTED BECAUSE HOW NISSAN ROUTES THE DRAIN HOSE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER CAUSE THE PREMATURE/UNSAFE HOLES. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO RIDE IN THE CAR, TO WHERE INJURY WAS CERTAIN. TOOK TO AUTO BODY SHOP AND THEY ALSO SAID THE SAME CAUSE FOR THE RUSTED OUT FLOOR BOARDS. MY NISSAN ALTIMA WASN'T THE FIRST NISSAN ALTIMA THEY REPLACED THE FLOOR BOARDS. AGAIN THEY STATED VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THIS CAR! IT COST ME $528.94 FOR THIS REPAIR! I WANT REIMBURSED! I ONLY INCLUDED THE PASSENGER PICTURE OF FLOOR BOARD DUE TO SIZE ALLOWED TO DOWNLOAD. THE DRIVER SIDE JUST AS BAD!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I WAS DRIVING MYSELF AND CO WORKER HOME FROM WORK. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET MY CAR JUST STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT START. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, OUR LIVES WERE PUT AT RISK DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE CAM SHAFT POSITION CENSOR ON MY 2005 NISSIAN ALTIMA. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE AN UPDATE ON THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAMSHAFT POSITION CENSOR AND THE FUEL PUMP. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN INCOMPLETE RECALL THAT WAS PERFORMED ON THE CAMSHAFT CENSOR. *JS

A PERSON FROM MY JOB AT STERICYCLE BY THE NAME OF MICHAEL WYGEL WHO WORKS AS AN I.T.

THE LIGHT COMES ON SAYING "TCS OFF" AND ANOTHER LIGHT COMES ON WITH IT STATING "SLIP." WHEN HE DOES THIS AND THESE LIGHTS COMES ON, THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE SAFELY AT ALL. THE CAR DOESN'T GO INTO GEAR EASILY AND IT SEEMS TO BE VERY ROUGH TO SWITCH GEARS. ALSO THE STEERING IS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN HE DOES THIS AS WELL AS THE DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE TOO. THIS LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM VERY TERRIFIED. HE HAS BEEN STALKING ME ONLINE FOR MONTHS SINCE I FOUND OUT THE I.T. DEPT PUT WEBCAMS IN THE COMPUTER STANDS AT MY JOB, AND SINCE HE HAS BEEN ELECTRONICALLY STALKING ME-WITH THIS ILLEGAL SICK REMOTE CAR HACKING BEING A PART OF HIS MALICIOUS BEHAVIOR TOWARDS ME IN HIS EFFORTS TO CLEARLY HARM ME. I AM IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND SAFETY. CAR HACKING AS YOU KNOW IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT WANT HIM TO DO THIS TO ME. HIS BLUE TOOTH # IS: 44:00:10:CE:21:AE AND HIS BLUETOOTH NAME IS: BRAVEN BRV-1 AND BRAVEN-BRV-X(?)

DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS RUSTED THROUGH RESULTING IN: 1. INCREASED ROAD NOISE 2. AIR ENTERING VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 3. WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE, AND SOAKING THE CARPETING IN RAIN STORMS, ETC POSSIBLY CREATING MOLD 4. EASY ACCESS FOR RODENTS/VERMIN

REPORTING ROTTING FLOORBOARD ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. IT'S A POSSIBLE SAFETY CONCERN AS VAPORS COULD ENTER PASSENGER AREA. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND WOULD HOPE NISSAN AS A SELF PROCLAIMED TOP SAFETY PICK WOULD STAND BEHIND THIS ISSUE I BELIEVE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS FLOORBOARD ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED AND PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

THE FLOOR BOARDS UNDER THE DRIVERS FEET ARE COMPLETELY ROTTED THROUGH. THE CARPET IS THE ONLY THING FROM KEEPING MY FEET FROM GOING THROUGH TO THE ROAD. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL OF CAR AND YET, NISSAN WILL NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AS A SIDE NOTE, MY CAR IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, OTHER THAN THE CONDITION OF THE FLOOR BOARDS.

CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS ARE FAULTY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ALTIMA'S. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWO TIMES ALREADY. STALLED ON HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 65MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED.

THE VIN WAS INCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

I STARTED LEASING MY ALTIMA IN 2008 AND PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 4 YEARS LATER. I TOOK IT TO HAVE MY MUFFLER CHECKED, BECAUSE I HEARD NOISE, AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FLOORBOARD ON THE FRONT , PASSENGER SIDE, IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THE ONLY THING BETWEEN MY PASSENGERS AND THE STREET IS THE CARPET. NISSAN SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. THE CAR IS ONLY 11 YEARS OLD!

SORRY FOR MY BELATED COMPLAINT. I JUST LEARNED OF YOUR WEBSITE. EARLY EVENING AUG 18, 2016 ENTIRE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA COMPLETELY BLEW OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. FORTUNATELY -- NOBODY WAS SITTING IN BACK SEAT(S) OF MY CAR - NO ADULTS & NO CHILDREN !! WHAT A BIG MESS !! A CLEAR & NORMAL SUMMER EVENING - NO SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO EVEN PROVOKE A CRAZY & SUDDEN INCIDENT LIKE THIS. LUCKILY -- I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY. I WAS ON A QUIET SUBURBAN ROAD WITH RELATIVELY LOW TRAFFIC. I WAS AT STOP LIGHT & SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND -- ALMOST LIKE A GUN SHOT. I CHECKED MY REAR VIEW MIRROR & MY ENTIRE CAR REAR WINDOW WAS BLOWN OUT WITH VERY LARGE HOLES & TINY SHATTERED GLASS PIECES STREWN ALL OVER INSIDE BACK SEAT AREA OF MY CAR. SOME SHATTERED GLASS EVEN BLEW OUT ALL WAY TO FRONT SECTION WHERE I WAS SEATED !! I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE ROAD & PULLED OVER INTO NEARBY WALGREENS PARKING LOT & CALLED LOCAL POLICE. POLICEMAN CAME & EXAMINED MY CAR. HE DID NOT FEEL ANY FOUL PLAY WAS INVOLVED NOR ANY GUNSHOT NOR BASEBALL THROWN INTO MY REAR CAR WINDOW. I TOOK 24 PHOTOS ? SEE 5 UPLOADED. HE HELPED ME GATHER MOST OF BROKEN & SHATTERED GLASS INTO A PLASTIC BAG. WE NOTED A FEW PIECES HAD DARK BROWN BURN MARKS ON THEM. HE SAID MOST LIKELY IT INDICATED A "SHORT" OCCURRED IN REAR DEFROSTER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HE COULD NOT PREPARE POLICE REPORT BCUZ IT DID NOT INVOLVE ANY FOUL PLAY. NEXT DAY I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS (NCA). THEY ASKED ME TO EMAIL MY 24 PHOTOS TO NCA & ONLY AGREED TO PAY TO REPLACE REAR CAR WINDOW. I TOLD NCA IT WAS PROBABLY A SHORT IN REAR DEFROSTER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ? A SERIOUS NISSAN SAFETY ISSUE & DEFECT. FOR ME ? A SCARY INCIDENT !! I SAVED ALL SHATTERED GLASS PIECES WITH DARK BROWN BURN MARKS, BUT NCA DID NOT WANT THEM. UNFORTUNATELY -- I CAN ONLY UPLOAD 5 PHOTOS. IF YOU WANT TO VIEW ALL 24 PHOTOS - CALL OR TEXT MY CELL [XXX].

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS MAJOR RUSTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS FOUND AFTER THE CARPET ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR STARTED FALLING THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD. THIS ISSUE ALMOST HAD MY WIFE'S FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR, WITHOUT HER KNOWING. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED (VIA RESEARCH AND REPORTS ON THE NEWS) TO BOTH NISSAN AND NHTSA AND BOTH STATE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT AND YOU COULD PUT YOUR FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR?

I HAVE SPENT OVER $2,000.00 IN REPAIRS DURING THE PAST MONTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO GEORGE HARTE NISSAN IN WEST HAVEN, CHARGED $711.00 PROBLEM NOT FIXED. CAR IS BURING OIL, HARD TO START AND THIS IS THE 2ND CATALOTOR CONVENTOR I PUT IN THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS EXTREMELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

THE FLOORBOARDS ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE CORRODING AND RUSTING OUT. YOU CAN TOUCH THE FLOOR CARPER FROM THE BOTTOM! THIS IS HAPPENING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR MAKE/MODEL AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. I AM NOT SURE BUT THE REPAIR COSTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK.

RUSTING FLOORBOARDS, FRONT, BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE

YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE THIS MODEL STALLING BECAUSE OF THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR THERE ARE 1000'S OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTACTED YOU ABOUT THIS! GO ONLINE!

THE CAR PICK UP TO SLOW AND THEN START PICKING UP LITTLE BY LITTLE

BROUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA TO MECHANIC FOR SERVICE. HE NOTICED BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS ROTTED OUT. EACH SIDE HAS A 6" - 8" WIDE X ~18" LONG RECTANGULAR HOLE IN THE FLOORBOARD UNDERNEATH THE CARPET. YOU ARE ABLE TO PUSH UP ON THE CARPET FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE ON BOTH SIDES. THE ONLY THING SEPARATING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER'S FEET FROM THE ROAD IN THESE AREAS IS THE CARPETING.

WHEN I AM AT A LIGHT MY CAR JUST TURNS OFF

MY ALTIMA IS WELL MAINTAINED CAR BOUGHT ALL NEW FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP. STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA NEEDS STATE INSPECTION DONE EVERY YEAR AND THIS YEAR MY ALTIMA FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION. MEANING, MY CAR IS DEEMED NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE STREET BECAUSE OF NISSAN ALTIMA'S DESIGN FLAW MAKING FLOOR-BOARD BEHIND FRONT WHEELS GO RUSTED. I USE THE CAR TO COMMUTE EVERYDAY TO WORK, UNKNOWINGLY EXPOSING MYSELF TO UNFORESEEN DANGER. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THIS COMMON ISSUE HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER CONSUMERS BEFORE ANY LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT OCCUR TO THEIR SO CALLED "CUSTOMERS".

AN EXISTING RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE SHOULD INCLUDE THE 3.5L ENGINE AS WELL AS CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT AND TCM. ALL CAUSE SIMILAR LIFE-THREATENING SYMPTOMS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY POWERS COMPLETELY OFF BRIEFLY LOSING ALL POWER TO LIGHTS ETC, DECELERATE RAPIDLY AND YOU LOSE STEERING CONTROL AND SPEED CONTROL. VEHICLES COME UP ON YOU QUICKLY AT NIGHT AND EVEN IF YOU GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED YOU HAVE NO POWER IN TRANSMISSION AND MERELY LIMP ON AT AN IDLE SPEED. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. WHY IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL 2007 RECALL IS NISSAN TRYING TO SAVE A BUCK. THEY USED THE SAME MFG & SAME PARTS AS IN THE 2.5L. THEY KNOWINGLY WITHHELD IT FROM BEING INCLUDED. I ALSO CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE TCM. KEEP IN MIND THE WERE BITING THEIR NAILS AFTER BEING PRESENTED WITH A CLASS ACTION SUITE REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE TCM. LUCKILY FOR THEM IT WAS DISMISSED TEMPORARILY. BUT THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WHEN THEY RESPONDED TO ME AND NEVER OFFERED ANY RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE BRIEFLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING BEGINNING 2014, LIKE A HICK-UP, INTERRUPTION OF POWER. HOWEVER IT WOULD CONTINUE. NO REAL PROBLEMS AT FIRST. THEN, BEGAN TO COMPLETELY POWER OFF, DIFFICULT TO RESTART AND I'D LOSE AUTO TRANSMISSION FUNCTION AND HAVE TO MANUALLY SHIFT WHICH BUCKED EVERY GEAR. PARK IT FOR A WHILE, RESTART AND IT'D DRIVE JUST FINE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS WARM THEN IT'D POWER OFF...ALL OVER AGAIN.. MECHANIC STATED IT WAS THE TCM. REPLACED IT, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, SEEMED FINE. NOW IT'S STALLING AND SAME ISSUES WITH TRANNY. NOW PULLING A CAMSHAFT SENSOR CODE. UGH! I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2014 AND IT'S ONLY BEEN DRIVABLE FOR 3 MONTHS. THE BIGGEST PAIN IN MY [XXX]. SHOULD'VE BOUGHT A HORSE INSTEAD. NISSAN YOU MANUFACTURE [XXX]POOR PRODUCTS KNOWINGLY AND HIDE!!

TAKATA RECALL MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING.I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT ON A CITY STREET...

I BOUGHT THIS '05 ALTIMA ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I DON'T DRIVE AT NIGHT A LOT BUT WHEN I DID FOR THE 1ST TIME, I NOTICED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE IN THE TREES. I FOUND AN ADJUSTMENT SCREW ON BACK OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT WHEN I ADJUSTED IT, IT TURNED BOTH THE HI AND LOW BEAMS DOWN. WHEN THE LOW BEAMS CAME CLOSE TO LEVEL- THE HI BEAMS WERE NOW HITTING THE GROUND 15 FT IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I FOUND A RECALL # ON LINE FOR THIS VERY ISSUE DATING BACK TO BLOGS IN LATE 2004. IT'S # 07E087000. SUNNYVALE (CA) NISSAN TURNED ME AWAY THIS MORNING SAYING THAT BASED ON MY VIN- THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A HAZARD AS I HAVE LITTLE LIGHT ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT UNLESS I DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS ON. CAN YOU HELP? THANKS *TR

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.

RUST THROUGH OF UNDERCARRIAGE UNDER PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEATS. WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL ON. THE RUST OCCURS FROM THE INSIDE OUT DUE TO INADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF WATER. FOUND OUT ABOUT IT JUST TODAY WHILE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE STATUTE EXPIRED TO RECEIVE THE REPAIR, AND REFUSED TO SCHEDULE A RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THE CONTACT WAS TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I PURCHASED A USED 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA - ONLY TO FIND MY PASSENGER FLOOR NEAR THE DOOR IS ROTTED/RUSTED OUT!! I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO SPEND THOUSANDS TO REPAIR THIS. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY POSTS ON THE MATTER BUT UNFORTUNATELY ONLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE FLOORBOARD ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS CORRODING THROUGH AND A HOLE WAS FORMING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 137,000.

I JUST NOTICED MY FLOORBOARD IS RUSTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS UNTIL MAYBE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN A PART OF THE RUG T J AT COVERS IT CAME APART AND WHEN I LOOKED THROUGH I CAN SEE THE GROUND.

WE NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING DOWN FROM UNDER PASSENGER SIDE AND FOUND THAT BOTH SIDES OF THE FLOORBOARD ARE COMEPLETELY RUSTED OUT WITH BIG HOLES IN THE FLOOR!! WE HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WE CALLED A BODY SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST OVER $2000 TO FIX. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL AND SAFETY ISSUE?? NISSAN DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS SAFETY?? WE WERE GONNA BUY ANOTHER NISSAN MAYBE A NISSAN ROGUE BUT IF THIS IS HOW THEY(NISSAN) TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWNERS THEN IM NOT SO SURE!! STEP UP NISSAN AND DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!

SAW SOMETHING HANGING DOWN UNDERNEATH DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. TOOK IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD BOTH FRONT FLOOR PANS RUSTED THROUGH AND CARPET SHOWING UNDERNEATH CAR.

THE FLOORBOARDS ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. YOU CAN SEE THE CARPET FROM THE UNDERBED ON BOTH SIDES (DRIVER AND PASSANGER). I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY BE A FLAW IN THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF MY CAR AND IT'S PRETTY COSTLY TO GET THIS REPAIRED & TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT REPAIRED. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ALTIMAS.

AS I WAS TURNING ON A MAIN ROAD, CAR WAS IN DRIVE, STARTED TO TURN RIGHT, GAVE LITTLE GAS, CAR DIED IMMEDIATELY. NO SPUTTERING, JUST STOPPED. THE PERSON BEHIND ALMOST HIT ME.

I NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING DOWN UNDER THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAD A NEIGHBOR WHO IS A MECHANIC LOOK UNDER THE CAR. HE TOLD ME THAT THE UNDER CARRIAGE FLOOR BOARD WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND WAS SO BAD IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT. I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR. WHAT CAN I DO?

FLOOR PANELS RUSTING COMPLETELY THROUGH. TIRE MECHANIC NOTED THAT "DRIVER FOOT WELL HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND CARPET IS VISIBLE ON UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE". INTERNET SEARCH STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF ALTIMAS MADE DURING THIS TIME FRAME (AS YOU ARE AWARE). CAR RUNS BEAUTIFULLY OTHERWISE, BUT I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT HAVING THE CARPET VISIBLE FROM UNDERNEATH IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN.

THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE ROTTED OUT. WE DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM WHEN MY WIFE ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED HER FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY SHE WASN'T HURT. JUDGING BY THE EXTENT OF THE RUST, THIS HAS LIKELY BEEN AN UNKNOWN ISSUE SINCE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT 3 YEARS AGO. I WOULD GUESS THAT IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY RUSTED WELL BEFORE 100K MILES.

RUSTED FLOOR PANELS ON BOTH SIDES UP FRONT

DEEPLY ROTTING FLOOR BOARD UNDER PASSENGER SIDE. 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 83000 MILES.

FLOOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT ROTTED OUT, HOLE EXPOSED TO THE OUTSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SOME TIME. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

THERE IS A RUST/CORROSION HOLE IN THE FLOORBOARD BELOW THE DRIVERS FEET. I'M SURE IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE BUT I JUST NOTICED IT RECENTLY BECAUSE I SAW A PIECE OF THE FLOOR DANGLING BELOW THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THE DRIVE POSITION, IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 204,000.

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT NEEDED DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR REPLACED, DEALER TRIED TO TELL ME THIS WAS FROM SNOW AND SALT. VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN PHILADELPHIA AND NOT DRIVEN IN THIS TYPE OF WEATHER. NISSAN MANUFACTURES A REPLACEMENT SET OF FLOOR PANS BUT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE DEFECT. I HAD TO BUY THE SET SO I HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR WHEN THAT RUST OUT. THIS WAS NOT A CHEAP FIX AND BASED ON AGE, CONDITION AND MILEAGE, THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.

MY FRONT FLOORBOARDS ROTTED OUT RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE AND A $1,200 REPAIR BILL. IT WAS DISCOVERED AT A RHODE ISLAND STATE INSPECTION.

MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A LOUD RATTLING NOISE. IT WAS ESPECIALLY LOUD WHEN IT WAS NOT MOVING BUT BECAME A LITTLE MORE SILENT ONCE THE CAR WAS MOVING. TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME MY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS WERE FAILING AND THAT IT HAD TO BE FIXED VERY SOON BEFORE THE CHAIN SNAPS AND DAMAGES THE ENGINE.

CPSC: MANY COMPLAINTS ARE ON THE WEB FROM OWNERS OF NISSAN ALTIMA REGARDING FLOOR BOARDS RUSTING AWAY. MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS SUCH A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS GARAGE KEPT. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL FALL THROUGH THE RUSTED OUT FLOOR BOARDS OR MY SEAT WILL FALL THROUGH WHILE I OR ANY OTHER DRIVER IS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I FIRST NOTICED HOW FLIMSY THE FLOOR BOARDS WERE MADE AFTER A WEEK OF HAVING THE CAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THIS CAR TO FIX. PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING WEB SITE: HTTPS://CONSUMERIST.COM/2015/04/06/NHSTA-COMPLAINTS-SHOW-RUSTED-FLOORBOARDS-IN-OLDER-NISSAN-ALTIMAS-CREATE-FRED-FLINTSTONE-CARS/ MY FRIEND SPENT OVER $1000.00 TO HAVE THE FLOOR BOARDS REPAIRED AND I KNOW MORE. UPDATED 01/24/17 *BF

FROM THE AUTO BODY SHOP'S DIAGNOSTIC & ESTIMATE REPORT: "RF INTERIOR FOOT SPACE SUNK IN MORE" & "FLOOR BOARD RUSTED OUT ON BOTH FRONT DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES". IN OTHER WORDS, THE METAL FLOOR PANELS IN FRONT OF BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE PREMATURELY CORRODED TO FAILURE, IN WHICH THE FLOOR IS NO LONGER SAFELY SUPPORTS THE OCCUPANTS & THE BARRIER BETWEEN INSIDE & OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BREACHED. UPON INVESTIGATION THIS PROBLEM IS A COMMON WITH VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE, MODEL, & YEAR. THE METAL FLOOR PANEL & ITS CORROSION RESISTANCE ARE THE MANUFACTURER'S ERROR & ARE A SAFETY RISK TO THE USERS. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FOOT OR ITEM FALLING THROUGH THE FLOOR, EXHAUST OR OTHER FUMES ENTERING THE INTERIOR, & THE CAR'S PERFORMANCE IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA USES ABOUT 3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I SEE NO LEAKS SO IT IS LOSING OIL IN THE ENGINE SOMEWHERE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM, WHY IS THERE NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS?

MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES AFTER 4 REPAIRS THE CALIPERS , ROTORS, PADS, LINES EVERYTHING HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THEY START TO GRIND AFTER 3 MONTHS OF DRIVING I HAVE HAD 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS WORK ON ITBUT STILL HAVING ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED MAKING A SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR I TURNED DOWN THE MUSIC TO LISTEN TO THE SOUND. AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR MADE ONE LAST SOUND THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING SO I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I GOT OUT TO CHECK THE CAR AND NOTICED IT WAS SMOKING I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED IT WAS ON FIRE. I GRABBED MY KIDS OUT THE CAR AND MY BELONGINGS AND WALKED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST IN CASE THE CAR BLEW UP. I CALLED THE AMBULANCE AND NOTIFIED THEM ABOUT THE CAR. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER MY WHOLE ENTIRE CAR WAS IN FLAMES. AS I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY SOMEONE STOPPED AND LET ME AND MY KIDS SIT IN THE CAR UNTIL MY RIDE CAME. THE FIRE FIGHTERS CAME AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THEY TOWED THE CAR AND WE LEFT.

FRONT FLOOR BOARDS RUSTED OUT BOTH SIDES. SET A BATTERY ON FLOOR BOARD AND IT MADE FLOOR CAVE IN. I LOOKED UNDER CAR AND HALF OF THE RUSTY FLOOR BOARD PIECES FELL ON MY DRIVEWAY. NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON VEHICLE. THIS NOT SAFE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DUE TO ERROR CODE P0335 WHICH IS CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR,MY CAR HESITATE TO START,NEED MORE CRANKING, AS PER NISSAN SO MANY VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THIS CODE BUT IF I GIVE MY VIN # THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL, I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, ALL THE MAINTENANCES ARE UP TO DATE AND CURRENTLY I HAVE ONLY 72000 MILES, I AM REQUESTING TO RECALL 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

THE CARPET ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS WET AFTER SOME HEAVY SNOW & RAIN INVOLVED THIS YEAR. UPON LOOKING UNDERNEATH, THE FLOOR PAN WAS RUSTING OUT. THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE BOTH HAVE BIG HOLES UNDERNEATH. RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NOTHING PROTECTING MY FEET FROM THE CONCRETE GROUND EXPECT FOR A FLIMSY CARPET SINCE THE RUST HAS TAKEN ALL OF THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT.

FLOORBOARDS ARE ROTTING OUT. THE VEHICLE HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT. VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A FOOT PUSH THROUGH AND EVEN UNDERMINE BODY INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE.

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA AT RECENT ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE UNDERSIDE OF MY ALTIMA HAD SEVERE RUST/CORROSION EATING AWAY AT THE FRAME AND FLOORBOARDS. IT WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT HE HAD TO CALL HIS SERVICE MANAGER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TO DO OR WAS THE CAR DEEMED SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. EVENTUALLY THE FLOORBOARDS WILL FAIL, ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL FOR 2005 NISSAN ALTIMAS?

MY CAR HAS A SEVERE FLOOR RUST PROBLEM. SPECIFICALLY PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR HAS BIG WHOLE AND MECHANIC SUGGESTED YOU MAY HAVE YOUR FEET ON ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I JUST HAD A BABY AND I AM REALLY SCARED ABOUT THIS CAR. NISSAN SUCKS BIG TIME. I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN AGAIN UNTIL AND UNLESS THEY OWN UP THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT A RUSTING FLOORBOARD. THIS IS A NISSAN DEFECT. I LEARNED TODAY FROM THE MECHANIC WHO DID THE CARS OIL CHANGE THAT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON MY NISSAN WITH BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLOORBOARDS RUSTED AND HAVE HOLE IN THEM. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS IN A 10 YEAR OLD MODERN CAR. JUST CAME FROM AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC HAPPENED TO SEE IT. ANY HELP FROM YOU WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THE REPAIR RUNS INTO THE THOUSANDS WITH THE CAR NOT EVEN WORTH THAT MUCH ANY MORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE PULLING OVER THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE, ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 240,000.

SUNROOF BLEW AWAY WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. ALREADY SUBJECT TO VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL: HOLLAND 700 AND HOLLANDIA 900. WE DID NOT HAVE THE INFO. WEBASTO IS UNHELPFUL IN GETTING CAR REPAIRED.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOORS ARE SERIOUSLY RUSTED WITH HOLES. I FOUND THE CONDITION WHEN I NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING UNDER THE CAR. IT WAS SOME SORT OF PLASTIC MATERIAL THAT LINED THE METAL FLOOR INSIDE THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A POLE. NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK, CHEST, AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. UPDATED 04/08/16*LJ UPDATED 04/28/16. *JB

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT MY CAR EXACTLY 11 MONTHS AGO ON FEBRUARY 2015. I FIRST NOTICED WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR THAT IT JERKED WHEN PUTTING IT IN DRIVE AND REVERSE, I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SALESMAN CONVINCED ME IT IS NOTHING. IT GOT WORSE OVER TIME. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO SAID MOTOR MOUNTS NEED REPLACING. I THEN FOUND A NISSAN THREAD ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND AUTOMATICALLY WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT MY CAR IS DOING 90% OF THE ISSUES LISTED. IT NOW JERKS WHEN I PUT IN DRIVE, REVERSE, WHEN I'M COMING TO A STOP, WHEN I PUSH THE BREAK, AND WHEN I EXCEED MORE THEN 60 MPH IT JERKS. AFTER READING TONS OF THREADS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AMONGST THE NISSAN ALTIMA 05S. I AM SCARED MY TRANSMISSION WILL GO OUT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I WAS TOLD THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTHING BUT NOW IT DEFINITELY SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT NISSAN JUDGED PUSHED UNDER THE RUG AND KEPT TELLING ME WAS NOTHING.

AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS ALTIMA, WE WERE ALARMED WHEN OUR SON SAID HE COULD SEE THE CARPETING HANGING THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. WE CONTACTED OUR NISSAN DEALER WHO SAID THE REPAIRS WOULDN'T BE COVERED AND TO PURSUE IT WITH NISSAN CORPORATE. WE PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS (SAFETY CONCERNS) AND FORMALLY REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT. I RECEIVED A CALL AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DECLINED DUE TO VEHICLE'S AGE AND DUE TO THE FACT WE'RE IN THE "NORTH-EAST SALT STATES". I ASKED WHY 2005 HONDA'S, CHEVY'S AND BUICK'S FROM THE SAME LOCALE AREN'T EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE?? WHEN I ASKED FOR A DETAILED DENIAL OF MY CLAIM (ONE CITING THE REASONS I WAS BEING GIVEN VERBALLY) I WAS TOLD ABSOLUTELY NOT AND THAT NISSAN WOULD ONLY SUPPLY A "GENERAL" LETTER OF DENIAL. SERIOUSLY?? DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN UNETHICAL PRACTICE? ALL OF THESE SIMILAR STORIES AND YET NISSAN HASN'T BEEN CALLED ONTO THE CARPET?

THE FLOOR BOARDS UNDER THE PASSENGER'S FEET ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. I WAS DOING MY RESERACH AND FROM ALL THE REPORTS, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE NISSAN OR NHTSA IS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. YOU CAN SEE THE ROAD THRU THE HUGE HOLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

"TAKATA AIR BAG" - NISSAN'S VIN SERVER HAS BEEN "DOWN" FOR OVER 2 WEEKS, AND DO NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONE TO CHECK IF OUR VEHICLE IS EFFECTED BY THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. ALSO, THIS SITES NHTSA VIN SEARCH ALSO CRASHES WHEN SEARCHING FOR NISSAN VIN NUMBERS. NISSAN SHOULD BE ANSWERING THEIR PHONE, AND FIX THEIR WEBSITE SO VIN CAN BE RESEARCHED ON THIS SERIOUS - LIFE THREATENING ISSUE!

DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD HAS RUSTED THROUGH FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THERE IS A DRAINAGE ISSUE.

MY 2005 NISSIAN ALTIMA HAS BEEN GIVING ME ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH GEAR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IT TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES JUST FOR THE CAR TO GO INTO GEAR AND WHEN DOING SO JERKS EXTREMELY HARD...I HAVE ALSO HAD MANY ISSUES WITH IT NOT WANTING TO START AND I WILL HAVE TO PLACE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL THEN FORCE BACK INTO PARK MANY TIMES BEFORE MY CAR WILL START...THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND KEPT VERY CLEAN...WHILE HAVING CAR INSPECTED I WAS INFORMED OF THE FLOOR BOARDS ROTTING OUT...I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT NISSAN AND DISCUSS THESE ISSUES...I HAVE HAD 000 RESULTS IN BEING ABLE TO DO SO...THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS...IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THESE ISSUES I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE...AND WITH THE TREATMENT FROM NISSAN...WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANY VEHICLE FROM THEM AGAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD WAS RUSTED. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FLOOR BOARD. 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 APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,998. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

UNDERCARRIAGE (FLOOR BOARDS) ON PASSENGER & DRIVER SIDE RUSTED. HOLES WITH FLOORING CARPET SHOWING THROUGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT NOTICED A PIECE OF METAL HANGING UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FLOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS TOTALLY RUSTED AND THERE WAS A HOLE UNDER THE CARPET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000.

THE FLOOR BOARDS UNDER THE PASSENGER'S FEET ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. FROM ALL THE REPORTS, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE NISSAN OR NHTSA IS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. YOU CAN SEE THE ROAD THRU THE HUGE HOLES. WHEN A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND SPENT SOME OF THAT TIME DOWN SOUTH, AWAY FROM ANY POSSIBILITY OF SALT ON THE ROADS HAS RUSTED OUT FLOOR BOARDS, THIS IS NOT 'NORMAL' CORROSION.

THE FLOOR BOARDS UNDER THE PASSENGER'S FEET ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.

WHEN A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND SPENT SOME OF THAT TIME DOWN SOUTH, AWAY FROM ANY POSSIBILITY OF SALT ON THE ROADS HAS RUSTED OUT FLOOR BOARDS, THIS IS NOT 'NORMAL' CORROSION.

TAKATA RECALL. VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. WHEN DEALER IS NOTIFIED, DEALER REFUSES THAT THERE WAS A PAST RECALL ON THIS PART FOR THE 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A 2.5 ENGINE. DEALER WILL NOT HELP. THIS VEHICLE HAS TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION AS WELL AS STATIONARY . THIS VEHICLE ALSO WOULD NOT START UP. LOCAL MECHANIC IS QUOTED SAYING " VEHICLE'S ENGINE PARTS ARE THE EXACT ENGINE PARTS FROM WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE. THE PARTS WERE NEVER REPLACED.".

UNDERCARRIAGE RUST I AM SEEING EVERYONE WITH 2002-2005 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL

UNDERCARRIAGE OF DRIVER SIDE IS SEVERELY RUSTED. HOLE IN DRIVER'S SEAT FLOOR.

THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER IS FAILING/HAS FAILED, THERE IS AN ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE THAT CAUSES THE 3.5L V6 TO SOUND LIKE A DIESEL, AS OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED. IT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE LOCATION OF THE TIMING CHAIN. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS OR HOURS AND HOURS IT REQUIRES TO REPLACE THE TENSIONER JUST YET. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR AT LEAST 15,000 MILES. IF THE TIMING CHAIN JUMPS BECAUSE THE TENSIONER WAS NOT A QUALITY PART AND BROKE, THE ENGINE WILL LOCK UP, AS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS, AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A WRECK IF OTHER CARS ARE AROUND. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. THAT IS ALL I ASK. I WANTED TO REPORT THAT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE FOR MY VEHICLE AS OTHERS OF THE SAME KIND DO, SO IT CAN GET FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING DANGEROUS HAPPENS TO ME OR MY WIFE.

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS HOLES IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD DUE TO EXTREME RUST.

THE FRONT SEAT FLOOR RUSTED OUT.

DUE TO A KNOWN ENGINEERING FLAW, WATER GETS CAUGHT UNDER THE FLOOR BOARDS AND ROTS/RUSTS OUT THE FLOORING. MY FEET ARE ABOUT TO FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR OF CAR. PASSENGER SIDE IS WORSE. THE DEALER/NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STILL WILL NOT COVER IT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. THERE IS A HOLE IN EACH FLOORBOARD THAT WAS PUT THERE INTENTIONALLY. SINCE THERE IS NOTHING STRUCTURAL TO FILL IT WATER CAN GET IN WHEN THE UNDERCOATING DEVELOPS CRACKS. ONCE WATER GETS IN, IT JUST LAYS UNDER THE ASPHALT INSULATION AND BETWEEN THE SHEET METAL AND ROTS FROM INSIDE OUT. I HAD A WARRANTY ON IT AND THE DEALERS I HAVE TAKEN IT TO, MANY TIMES FOR MANY JOBS AND MAINTENANCE, ETC. NEVER ONCE MENTIONED IT. I JUST RECENTLY WAS MADE AWARE OF IT AND NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS MADE TO.

I PURCHASED MY 2005 ALTIMA IN 2009 FROM A FAMILY MEMBER( OWNER PASSED AWAY). IN 2013, THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN SLOW TRAFFIC BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH WHOM THE CAR WAS PURCHASED ORIGINALLY. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM BUT REPLACED BOTH CAMSHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSORS BECAUSE BOTH FOUND TO BE SENDING INCORRECT SIGNAL TO COMPUTER SYSTEM. I WAS CHARGED $505.83. I SENT A LETTER TO NISSAN CORP WITH PAPERWORK, RECEIPT AND THE RECALL OF 2007. THIS WAS FAXED TO ROSELLE ON AUG 7 2013. NISSAN REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME, STATING IT DID NOT MEET THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS. NOW IN 2015, THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT CAR IS STALLING IN SLOW TRAFFIC OR WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TAKE A TURN. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NOT THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY SUSPECTED IT WAS THE INTAKE TUBE THAT CONNECTS TO THE THROTTLE BODY AND THEY REPLACED THE MASS FLOW METER. THIS COSTS ME $880.35. APPROX 1 1/2 WEEKS AFTER THIS "FIX", THE CAR HAS STALLED TWO MORE TIMES. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP- WHO REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME THE $880- THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. SO- I AM DRIVING A CAR THAT IS DESTINED TO STALL AGAIN AND BECAUSE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON, THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE RESOLVED? THIS CAR ONLY HAS 114,000 MILES. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN PRODUCT AGAIN.

THIS IS A 2005 ALTIMA WELL MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT ALL THESE YEARS. I FOUND A 10"X10" HOLE IN PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PAN. IT WAS RUSTED VERY BADLY INSIDE OUT. IT MUST HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING THE RUST FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS SO MANY NISSAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGED-KEPT ALTIMA HAD NO VISIBLE BODY RUST ANYWHERE UPON INSPECTION LAST NOVEMBER. TODAY I NOTICED RUSTY FLAKES ON THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE, AND UPON LOOKING UNDERNEATH THE CAR, FOUND THAT ONE HALF OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR PAN WAS CAVING IN. THIS RUST IS NOT NOTICEABLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL THE RUST IS ALL THE WAY THRU TO THE EXTERIOR, AT WHICH POINT THE WEIGHT OF THE FOOT BREAKS IT THRU THE UNDERCOATING. THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORPAN WAS ALSO CAVING IN. WHEN I TOOK UP THE RUBBER MATS, FLOORMATS, AND CARPET/PAD, I SAW LARGE HOLES ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES WHICH ONLY AFFECTED ONE HALF OF EACH FLOORPAN. THESE RUSTED HALVES HAVE A TYPE OF HARD "BLACK SHINGLE" STUCK TO THE FLOOR, AND FROM WHAT I OBSERVED ALSO HAVE A SMALL 3"X3" SILVER PAPER COMPLETELY COVERING WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DRAIN HOLE. THE UNRUSTED HALVES ARE PAINTED, HAVE NO "SHINGLES" AND NO RUST WHATSOEVER DESPITE BEING BUTTED RIGHT UP TO THE RUSTED HALVES. THESE "SHINGLES" APPEAR TO BE THE PROBLEM, THE RUSTED METAL WAS FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THEM. THIS MUST BE A DESIGN DEFECT OR SOMEONE AT NISSAN DID NOT DO THIER JOB RIGHT (SINCE THE DRAIN HOLES WERE COVERED UP WITH SILVER PAPER). THIS RUST OBVIOUSLY STARTED INVISIBLY FROM INSIDE THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO EASILY PUSH THE RUSTED METAL THRU - I AM GLAD I WAS ABLE TO DISCOVER THIS BEFORE SOMEONE COULD PUT THIER FOOT THRU THE FLOOR OF A MOVING VEHICLE OR FALL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL DUE TO FUMES. THIS WAS FIXED AT AT COST OF $900 TO ME, BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS IS A HAZARD. WE ALSO HAVE A 2000 CHEVY, AND A 2005 DODGE, AND NEITHER HAVE SUCH RUST ON/IN THE FLOORPANS, DESPITE BEING PARKED OUTSIDE AND DRIVEN IN THE SAME ELEMENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE ALTIMA'S FLOORPAN REPAIR AS THE AMOUNT OF RUSTING IS NOT NORMAL FOR THE CARE TAKEN, AND ALSO IS NOT NOTICEABLE NOR PREVENTABLE BY THE CONSUMER.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO THE 2005 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN OVERHEAT CAUSING A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR. CONSEQUENCE: IF THE INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL FROM THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS SO BRIEF THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) LOGIC DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION, THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

I TOOK MY ALTIMA TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE COMMON RUSTING PROBLEM IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. THERE IS A HOLE ABOUT 3-4 INCHES AND YOU CAN LOOK UP AND SEE THE CARPET. I'M REALLY UPSET AND WASN'T AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH ALTIMAS WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR PREOWNED SIX MONTHS AGO. IT IS IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION, COMPLETELY PAMPERED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND MYSELF, AND SHOULDN'T BE RUSTING THROUGH AT THIS AGE AND WITH ONLY 59K MILES ON IT. DESPITE WHAT NISSAN MIGHT BE CLAIMING, HAVING LARGE HOLES IN YOUR FLOORBOARD IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD AND I REALLY FEEL CONCERNED FOR THE ALTIMA OWNERS WHO DIDN'T CATCH THE PROBLEM AS EARLY AS I HAVE, OR EVEN HAVE YET TO DISCOVER IT! SOME OF THE HOLES THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED CAN FIT MORE THAN A FOOT THROUGH!! I AM ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUMES CREEPING IN. NOW THAT I AM INFORMED OF THE DESIGN FLAW, I CAN 100% COUNT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE TO BEGIN RUSTING OUT TOO. THIS IS REALLY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND I SHOULDN'T BE REPAIRED IT AS IT IS NO FAULT OF ANY OF US DRIVERS, NOR THE RAIN NOR THE SALT. IT IS A SAFETY DESIGN FLAW AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL. THANK YOU NHTSA FOR LISTENING! *TR

FLOOR PAN ALMOST COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED TODAY AND REPORTED SEVERE RUST, TO THE POINT THAT FEET MAY BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE FLOOR SOON.

WHILE I WAS PARKED AT HOME I WAS EXAMINING THE UNDERSIDE OF MY 2005 ALTIMA AND TO MY SHOCK FOUND A 12 INCH BY 10 INCH SECTION OF RUST WITH LARGE FLAKES COMING FROM THE FLOOR PANEL ON MY PASSENGER SIDE. THERE ARE HOLES IN THIS SECTION THAT ARE PENETRATING THROUGH THE LAYERS TOWARDS THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS THE BEGINNING OF RUST AND CRACKING FLOOR PANEL AS WELL. I AM CANNOT BELIEVE THIS, I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED THE CAR JUST AS THE FIRST OWNER HAD AND THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE BODY. I RESEARCHED THIS RUSTED OUT FLOOR PANELING AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE NEWS STORIES AND THAT IT IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE STRUCTURALLY WITH THE RUST COMPROMISING STRENGTH AND SAFETY AND I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ANY PASSENGERS RIDE IN THAT SEAT. CLEARLY THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME TO REACH THIS EXTENT! I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE OF THE RUSTING OUT OF THE FLOOR PANELS FROM THE INSIDE OUT! I HAD THE RUSTED OUT FLOOR PANELS EXAMINED BY A LOCAL BODY SHOP AND THEY QUOTED ME $2500+ THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS AND LEAVES ME TO DEAL WITH A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT MY FAULT, BUT FAILURE OF THE MATERIALS.

NOTICED A LARGE PIECE OF SOMETHING HANGING FROM UNDERCARRIAGE. TOOK TO BODY SHOP WHO STATED BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDES ARE SEVERELY RUSTED WITH MULTIPLE HOLES UP TO 6 INCHES TOTALLY THROUGH TO CARPET AND INTERIOR. CONSIDERED A SAFETY RISK DUE TO EXPOSURE OF FUMES/GASES FROM ENGINE/EXHAUST AS WELL AS THE RISK OF "FALLING THROUGH". REST OF CAR LOOKS GOOD NO VISIBLE RUST ON FRAME OR REAR. NO HISTORY OF COLLISIONS OR IMPACT DAMAGE. WE ARE NOT IN AN AREA OF GREAT ROAD SALT NEED NOR NEAR AN OCEAN. ESTIMATE TO REPAIR OVER $1000. ADVISED NOT SAFE TO DRIVE OR SELL AS IS. NOTICED IN COMPLAINTS, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST 2010. WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN ISSUED?

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS HAVE RUSTED/ ROTTED OUT. IT IS ONLY VISIBLE FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. IT WAS DISCOVERED BY MY MECHANIC WHEN THE CAR WAS ON A LIFT.

PART OF THE FLOOR PAN UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE FOOT AREA FELL OFF THE CAR AND ONTO MY DRIVEWAY. I NOW HAVE A HOLE IN MY FLOORBOARD AND CAN TOUCH THE RUG.

ON A RECENT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE VISIT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD A HOLE IN THE FLOOR PAN. MY ALTIMA IS IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH LESS THAN 42,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL NISSAN, AND IT COULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT. IT WAS ALSO EXPLAINED THAT NISSAN HAS A PLATE THAT COULD BE ORDERED FOR $700, WHICH WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. YOU CAN BUY A NEW ALTIMA FRONT FLOOR PAN FROM A COMPANY ON THE INTERNET FOR $79.95. WHY IS NISSAN GOUGING THE CONSUMER BY CHARGING $700. SHAME ON YOU NISSAN FOR ADDING INSULT TO INJURY. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY WARRANT A RECALL BY NISSAN DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, THUS CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FLOOR PAN ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS PREMATURELY RUSTED AND CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

LAST YEAR, I NOTICED MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAD APPEARED. I HAD THE CODE CHECKED AND IT WAS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. I HAD THIS PART REPLACED AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, THIS LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE SENSOR HAD GONE BAD AGAIN. THIS CAUSES MY CAR SO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISH AND GO DEAD WHEN DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW WHERE NISSAN HAD A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THIS PART ON THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR. I CONTACTED THEM AND THEY SAID MY CAR WASN'T COVERED UNDER THEIR RECALL AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS GONE BAD. I THINK MY CAR SHOULD BE COVERED AS WELL. THEY TOLD ME TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO NHTSA.

MY CAR HAS BEEN REJECTED 2 YEARS IN A ROW DURING MY ROUTINE INSPECTION, DUE TO RUSTED/ROTTED OUT FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I BROUGHT MY NISSAN TO KELLY NISSAN OF LYNNFIELD IN JULY 2014, AFTER MY LOCAL AUTO MECHANIC FAILED IT [JULY 2014] DUE TO RUSTED/ROTTED OUT FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP PASSED MY CAR IN INSPECTION AND TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NO CAUSE FOR CONCERN ABOUT THE FLOORBOARD. TODAY, I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION [PAST DUE] TO MY LOCAL AUTO MECHANIC, AND THEY FAILED IT DUE TO RUSTED/ROTTED OUT FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THEY APPROXIMATED THE HOLE IS 4 INCHES BY 6 INCHES. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND CREATED A CASE FILE. I AM SUPPOSED TO BE CONTACTED BY A LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE BY COB TOMORROW. THE MANAGER OF KELLY NISSAN OF LYNNFIELD CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME UNTIL A DETERMINATION IS MADE BY THE LOCAL REP, AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL GO THROUGH, AS IT APPEARS THAT I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO THEIR DEALERSHIP ENOUGH TO WARRANT THEM TO DO THE REPAIR. SO THAT WAS THE GOOD NEWS; THAT I HAVE ENOUGH HISTORY WITH THEIR DEALERSHIP THAT I COULD POTENTIALLY GET IT REPAIRED.

I NOTICED RUST FLAKES ON THE GROUND UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THERE IS A LARGE RUST HOLE (ABOUT 6"X6") IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAS A SLIGHTLY SMALLER HOLE. THE BODY SHOP ESTIMATE IS $1425 TO REPAIR - THEY HAVE SEEN OTHER ALTIMAS WITH THIS PROBLEM. CALLED 1-800-NISSAN1 TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD "THERE IS NOTHING NISSAN CAN DO AT THIS TIME". I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN JUNE 2005.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A STATE INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE CORROSION UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE LARGE HOLES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. MA 10/22/2015

THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, KELLY NISSAN OF STONEHAM MA, INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FLOOR BOARD DUE TO RUST. THE RUST SEEMS LOCALIZED TO AN AREA ABOUT 1 FOOT X 1 FOOT ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER. I BELIEVE THIS RUSTING IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BECAUSE OF THE LOCALIZED NATURE OF THE RUST.

SEVERE RUST ON FLOOR BOARDS OF 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. HOLE APPROXIMATELY 6" DIAMETER HAS RUSTED THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARDS, LEAVING THE CARPET WET AFTER DRIVING THROUGH RAIN. NOTICED DE, 2014 ALSO, ENGINE OIL PAN HAS RUSTED THROUGH, OIL LEAKING THROUGH THE PAN. NO, NOT THROUGH THE GASKET OR THE SEAL, THROUGH A PERFORATION IN THE OIL PAN. NOTICED AT 80KMILES, AUG, 2015

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

NOTICED METAL HANGING OFF BOTTOM OF CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. GOT HOME AND DISCOVERED THAT THE COATING UNDERNEATH THE CAR IS PEELING OFF AND THAT THE FLOOR BOARD IS RUSTING THROUGH. AT 10 YEARS OLD, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD CAR AND IT IS FINE. THIS CAR WAS RECALLED AND TREATED NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I LIVE IN A SALT STATE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS A PASSENGER COULD FALL THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN ON MONDAY BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. (ALTIMA 3.5 SL-V6)

THE ENTIRE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE UNDERCARRIAGE IS RUSTED OUT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT INTO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR 10 YEARS EVERY 3,500 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER MENTIONED THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE WAS RUSTING OUT. I ONLY LEARNED OF THE ISSUE WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR AN ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION.

AS YOU WELL KNOW BY NOW, THE NUMEROUS DOCUMENTED ISSUES WITH 2002-2006 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS ALAS REACHED MY NISSAN ALTIMA. FLOORBOARD IS RUSTING INTENSELY BUT I AM NOT DO RICH SO CAN'T AFFORD THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THAT EVERY MECHANIC (I PAID TO INSPECT BY THE WAY) IS QUOTING ME. NOTHING MUCH TO ADD TO THIS DESCRIPTION BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ANYWAY. ISSUE HAS BEEN ON LOCAL NEWSCASTS SO MY INSIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION OF FILING COMPLAINT IS STRICTLY TO JOIN THE CAUSE IN MIND AND SPIRIT. BY NO MEANS TRYING TO SOUND INSENSITIVE INSTEAD TRUTHFUL; IT'S CLEAR SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THINGS CHANGE, JUST HOPE ISN'T IS ME.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING AN ENGINE RATTLING NOISE AS IF I NEEDED OIL. I TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HAD THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AND MY CAR HESITATES WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR, IT HESITATES AND WILL NOT START. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE MY CRANKSHAFT WAS GOING BAD. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR THOSE KINDS OF PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM, BUT MY VIN DIDN'T SHOW THAT MINE WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS RECALLED. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, I BOUGHT IT USED FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP. I NEED FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE REPAIRED WITHOUT COST TO ME BECAUSE THIS IS NOT MY FAULT.

MY GAS GUAGE READ HALF, WHILE TURNING CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. FORTUNATELY I WAS TURNING INTO INSIDE LANE ON 8 LANE STREET BECAUSE IT TOOK ALL 5 LINES TO SAFEL ROLL TO STOP. AFTER ASKING NISSAN 700 TO CHECK FUEL SYSTEM SENSO 4/BOLT 1 PLUG SOLID PIECE. WENT TO AAA $150 TO CHECK AND DETERMINED GUAGE NOT SENSOR. $600 TO MAYBE REPAIR PART. CALLED NISSAN 6 BOLTS 1 PLUG TO REPLACE GUAGE MODULE WITH 3RD PARTY REPAIRED USED MODULE FROM ANOTHER STATE. MODULE HAS TO BE SENT PRIOR TO 3RD PARTY SENDING PART. INTERNET HORROR STORIES. 6-60 DAY TURN AROUND AND VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN WHILE PART IS OUT OF CAR. MAIN REASON: SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER ARE PART OF MODULE. MODULE REQUIRES REPROGRAMMING TO CURRENT VEHICLE MILEAGE BEFORE MOVING. NISSAN SHOULD CARRY PARTS IN STOCK DUE TO BOTH DANGEROUS SAFETY AND MILEAGE ISSUES RELATED TO FAILURE OF EITHER MODULE AR FUEL SENSOR. I AM PRETTY STRONG ALTHOUGH 66 BUT YOUGER, FEMALE OR OLDER FOLKS IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS COULD END UP IN BUILDING, TREE OR ANOTHE VEHICLE. NOT KNOWING WHEN CAR IS DIE WITHOUT WARNING IS A DIRE SAFET ISSUE.. RECALLS SHOULD BE ENFORCED BY FAILURE NUMBERS, NOT %AGE OF FAILURES PER MODEL. 50% OF A MODEL THAT SOLD 200 IS NOT AS DANGEROUS AS 50% OF 100,000 SOLD. THE 2005 ALTIMA SER WAS A VERY LIMITED MODEL OF ALTIMA BUT OEM PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AT LEAST A MAJORITY OF THEM ARE OFF THE ROAD WHEN THE RELATE TO SAFETY. NISSAN SEEMS TO GET AWAY WITH OUT RECALLS FOR SAFETY RECALLS, HIGH FREQUENCY ISSUES, SERVICE GUAGING AND FROM WHAT I HEAR KNOWN LEMON PROBLEMS. WHY????

THE CAR HAD BEEN SHIFTING ERRATICALLY FOR A WHILE NOW AND, THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICE IT NOW HAS FAILED. IT BEGAN BANGING INTO GEAR WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT INTO FORWARD OR REVERSE.IT WILL NOT GO INTO FILTH GEAR AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH MOST OF THESE TRANSMISSION THEY HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY RE-CALLED THEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE INTERVENTION VIA THE GOVERNMENT & A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT WILL ACTUALLY GO FORWARD AS IT SEEMS LIKE THE LAST ONE WAS VOLUNTARILY DIS-BANNED. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THE INITIATORS WERE PAID OFF.

IN 2013 I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO HAVE THEM FIX MY BUMPER AND THEY REALIZED A HOLE UNDERNEATH MY PASSENGER FLOOR . THEY TOLD ME IT WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED THROUGH AND I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED AT THE COST 700 DOLLARS. NOW ITS 2015 AND I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER AGAIN. I DON'T REALLY WANT TO PUT THIS MONEY BACK INTO THIS CAR IF IT'S JUST GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN 2 YEARS. NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM. I SEE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY'RE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN SOMEONE COULD POSSIBLY FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR.

WHEN I WAS WORKING ON THE BRAKES ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA, I PLACED MY FLOOR JACK UNDERNEATH THE CAR I REALIZED THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR BOARD IS STARTING TO RUST THROUGH TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN I WENT TO PASSENGER SIDE THE FLOOR BOARD WAS STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING. BOTH SIDES ARE STARTING TO ROT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I FIND THIS UNBELIEVABLE THAT A CAR THAT IS SO WELL KEPT COULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS SOMETHING NISSAN NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE AS A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE HAD OTHER VEHICLES THAT NEVER HAD FLOOR BOARDS RUST AWAY SO PREMATURELY. IF NISSAN DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DESIGN FLAW THIS WILL BE MY LAST NISSAN BOUGHT FROM THE CAR COMPANY. I HAVE BEEN VERY LOYAL TO THE BRAND. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN PARK, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WERE HOLES IN THE FLOOR BOARD OF THE VEHICLE UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AREA. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA AND OVER CORRECTED IN A CURVE. SHE HIT A TREE AND THE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED. SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT AND WAS HELD BACK BY THE SEAT BELT HER HEAD IMPACTING THE CENTER OR THE STEERING WHEEL. THE COVER OVER THE AIR BAG BLEW OUT HINGING ITSELF AT THE TOP AND MAKING TWO VERY POINTED AND SHARP EDGES ON EACH BOTTOM CORNER. THE RIGHT BOTTOM POINT PIERCED THE SKIN BETWEEN HER NOSE AND THE CORNER OF HER LEFT EYE MISSING IT BY LESS THAN A SIXTEENTH OF AN INCH AND BREAKING HER NOSE. THE DANGEROUS PART IS THE TWO SHARP POINTS ON THE FLAP WHERE THE AIR BIG DEPLOYED SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DESIGN FLAW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED, THE INSPECTOR OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD WERE ROTTED AND RUSTED THROUGH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED AND WHILE DRIVING. THE BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHTS KEPT GOING OFF AND ON. THERE WAS ALSO A CLANKING SOUND. I STOPPED AND LET CAR COOL. CONTINUED DRIVING AND NOTICED FIRE FROM MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. RAN OUT OF CAR AND IT CAUGHT FIRE 30 SECONDS AFTER FOLLOWED BY COUPLE OF EXPLOSIONS.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. MY FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTED TO A POINT THAT THE CARPET INSTALLATION IS HANGING ON THE GROUND. IF IT RAINS AND I RIDE OVER PUDDLES I CAN FEEL THE WATER.

THE FLOOR BOARDS UNDER THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS HAVE RUSTED SO BADLY I CAN PUT MY FOOT THROUGH THE HOLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT INSPECTED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE PLACE WHERE BOTH FRONT SEATS WERE ATTACHED HAD CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. MA 10/5

THE ENTIRE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE FRONT SEATS IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT THAT YOU CAN SEE THE ROAD UNDERNEATH THE CAR. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE FLOOR HAD HOLES IN IT (FOUND RIGHT AFTER I HAD ALREADY BOUGHT THE VEHICLE). THIS IS A HAZARD FOR THE PASSENGERS, VERY COMMON AMONGST NISSAN ALTIMAS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS ISSUE MAKES THE CAR UNSELLABLE SINCE IT WILL NEVER PASS INSPECTION UNLESS A MAJOR REPAIR IS DONE TO ITS BODY. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT A CAR WOULD HAVE STRUCTURAL ISSUES LIKE SEVERE RUST AND NISSAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND THE NHTSA NOT MAKE NISSAN BUY THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BACK.

NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR PAN ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS A BIG RUST HOLE. DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR PAN IS STARTING TO SHOW THE RUST COMING THRU ALSO. ....UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF UPDATED 1/4/2016*JS

A MECHANIC, DURING AN UNRELATED REPAIR, REPORTED HE COULD SEE CARPET FROM THE UNDERNEATH MY CAR AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION DISCOVERED TWO HOLES IN THE FLOORBOARDS ON THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDES (FRONT SEAT). I TOOK THIS IN FOR AN ESTIMATE AND IT WILL COST $700-1000 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN...THESE FLOORBOARDS SHOULD NOT RUST COMPLETELY THROUGH LIKE THIS. I HAVE CHILDREN AND AM WORRIED THAT ROAD DEBRIS OR SOMETHING RIPPING THROUGH THE CARPET FROM THE INSIDE COULD CAUSE INJURY OR WORSE AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE HAVING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORMAT WAS VISIBLE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE LOWER STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE HAD SEVERE CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE INSPECTED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LAMP FLASHED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VEHICLE MISFIRED AND STALLED MORE THAN ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE COIL PACKS WERE REPLACED A YEAR AGO, BUT THE FAILURE RECENTLY RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE COIL PACKS WERE REPLACED AGAIN. WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF LEAVING THE REPAIR SHOP, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE TOOLS TO PERFORM THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000. UPDATED 10/06/15*LJ UPDATED 11/27/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INDICATED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSENGER FLOORBOARD RUSTED OUT AND WAS REPAIRED AT A COLLISION REPAIR SHOP IN DEC. 2013. I FELT BRANCHES AND STICKS THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 8" IN DIAMETER. IN JUNE 2015 I FOUND WHERE THE DRIVERS SIDE IS NOW RUSTED OUT. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED THE CAR HAS HAD DEEP RUBBER FLOOR MATS IN THE WINTER PASSENGER SIDE REPAIR DONE AT 122,000 MILES DRIVER'S SIDE REPAIR DONE AT 139,000 MILES UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

I RECENTLY HAD MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA IN THE SHOP FOR AND OIL CHANGE & FRONT BRAKE REPLACEMENT. THE TECH REPORTED A RUST ISSUE ON THE DRIVERS & PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANS. HE GOT A NEARBY BODY SHOP TO GIVE A REPAIR QUOTE, WHICH IS ~$700. I TOOK A LOOK UNDER THE CAR MYSELF & WAS SHOCKED TO FIND FLOOR RUST ~18" X 9" ON PASSENGER & DRIVER FLOOR BOARDS. THE RUST HOLES ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL. THERE ARE NO OTHER RUST SPOTS ON THE CAR, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A FACTORY DEFECT. A LOOK ON LINE SHOWED WHAT I SUSPECTED; AN EPIDEMIC OF RUST IN THE SAME LOCATION ON EVERY ALTIMA! MY CAR SPENT ITS FIRST 8 YEARS IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. THE LAST 2 HAVE BEEN IN FLORIDA. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE-KEPT ITS ENTIRE LIFE. THE ISOLATION OF THE RUST IS VERY OBVIOUS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN PROBABLY THE MOST RELIABLE CAR I'VE EVER OWNED, WHICH MAKES THIS RUST ISSUE SO DISAPPOINTING. FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE GATHERED, NISSAN HAS NO INTENTION OF STANDING BEHIND THIS ISSUE. I HAD PLANS TO TRADE THIS CAR IN ON A NISSAN QUEST IN 2016. I WILL BE CROSSING NISSAN OFF THE LIST.

FRONT SUB-FAME SEVERELY RUSTED OUT, WHICH SUPPORTS ENGINE AND CONTROL ARMS, MUST BE REPLACED. SAFETY IS COMPROMISED.....UPDATED10/20/15 *BF UPDATED 11/07/2017*

FRONT FLOORBOARDS RUSTING THOUGH, LOOKING AT OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR.

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE NUMEROUS REPAIRS DONE ON MY CAR 6/27/15-6/30/15. WHILE THEY HAD THE CAR UP ON THE LIFT, THE TECH NOTICED AND TOLD ME THAT MY FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT AND HE COULD SEE CLEAR THROUGH TO MY CARPETING. MY WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY GETTING DIRTY FROM THE INSIDE AND I COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHY. I HAVE ASTHMA AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUMES THAT ARE ENTERING MY VEHICLE. THIS NOW EXPLAINS WHY I FEEL THE NEED TO USE MY INHALER MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN I'M IN MY CAR OR GETTING OUT OF MY CAR ON SHORTER TRIPS. FOR INSTANCE, I HAVE A 1.5 MILE RIDE TO THE TRAIN FOR MY COMMUTE TO WORK. BY THE TIME I GET TO THE TRAIN, I'LL NEED TO USE MY INHALER AGAIN ALREADY. MY CAR IS PAID OFF. I HAD PLANNED TO KEEP THIS CAR AS LONG AS I POSSIBLY COULD SO I CAN PAY DOWN DEBT. ALSO, I HAD JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND SPENT AROUND $700 IN REPAIRS ON MY CAR. I'VE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR (I.E., REGULAR OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATION, ETC.). I JUST WANT NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO I CAN KEEP MY CAR. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE, I LOVE MY CAR. I'VE HAD VERY FEW MINOR PROBLEMS WITH IT OVER THE YEARS AND I'M OVERALL VERY HAPPY WITH IT, EXCEPT FOR THIS ISSUE. I HOPE YOU CAN GET THEM TO HELP EVERYONE SIMILARLY SITUATED...UPDATED 09/03/15 *BF UPDATED 11/06/2017*CN

DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD IS RUSTED OUT

THIS PAST WEEK I HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND BATTERY. THEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR BRAKES. WHEN I HAPPENED TO LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR, I FOUND THAT THE FLOOR ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES WAS ROTTING OUT. THE DEALER IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR PROBLEMS WHEN YOU TAKE IT IN, BUT NOBODY MENTIONED THE RUST PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE THE UNEXPECTED EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THE FLOOR. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME NOW, BUT REFUSES TO REIMBURSEMENT OR DO A RECALL. IT MAY NOT BE A SAFETY HAZARD, UNLESS YOUR FOOT GOES THROUGH THE FLOOR, BUT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE REAR DOOR HANDLES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED BOTH REAR DOOR HANDLES SNAPPED OFF IN FEBURARY. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST TIME THE DOOR HANDLE FAILED, HER SON WAS INURED. *JB UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ

THE FLOOR OF MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS RUSTED OUT ON BOTH SIDES, THIS SHOULLD BE A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE READ THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

I HAD BEEN AWARE THERE THERE WAS SOME RUST ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR PAN. MY ALTIMA WAS RECENTLY TAKEN TO MY MECHANIC AND PUT ON THE LIFT FOR SOME MAINTENANCE AND MY MECHANIC TOOK PICTURES TO SHOW ME HOW EXTENSIVE THE RUST HAD BECOME. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE FLOOR UNDER THE DRIVER'S FEET IS MISSING AND A LARGE PIECE OF METAL IS HANGING DOWN. THE MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE NOW HAS A SMALL PATCH OF RUST.

MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND SOMETIMES CLUNKING NOISE WHEN IT SHIFTS AT LOW SPEED.

PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD ROTTED OUT FROM RUST IN A WELL MAINTAINED CAR. NO OTHER SIGNS OF DAMAGING RUST ARE PRESENT.

JUST FOUND OUT MY CAR'S FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTED THROUGH. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALTIMA'S FROM 2002-2006. IT WAS NOT CAUGHT BY MY OIL CHANGE PEOPLE, AND ONLY CAME UP TODAY AS I WAS GETTING IT APPROVED FOR A SALE. THIS REPAIR TOTALS THE CAR, WHICH OBVIOUSLY PUT A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ON ME.

RUSTING FLOORBOARDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

FLOOR BOARD DRIVERS SIDE IS RUSTING OUT.

VEHICLE HAS EXTENSIVE RUST UNDER FLOORBOARDS UNDER DRIVER'S SEAT. I READ ABOUT OTHER ALTIMAS FROM THIS YEAR HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR BY TAKING PICTURES WITH MY CELL PHONE UNDER THE CAR. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AT A NISSAN DEALER SERVICE CENTER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE, BUT I BELIEVE THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN UP ON A LIFT, AND THE NISSAN SERVICE PEOPLE DID NOT ADVISE ME THERE WAS RUST ON THE UNDERSIDE.

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 59,270 MILES AS OF 06.07.15, HAS A RUSTED FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CONSISTENT WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS TO YOU, TO NISSAN, AND AS OUTLINED ON THE TODAY SHOW. CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, ONLY OWNER, GARAGED SINCE PURCHASE AND SHORTLY DUE TO NISSAN'S DESIGN AND ENGINEERING DEFECTS TWO THINGS WILL HAPPEN: 1. THE FLOOR BOARD WILL BE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND ALLOW EXHAUST FUMES AND WATER INTO THE CAR. 2. THE VALUE OF MY CAR WHICH I HAVE SPENT CONSIDERABLE TIME AND EFFORT MAINTAINING WILL DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL THAT NISSAN HAS NOT HAD A RECALL FOR QUALIFIED CARS, AND I 100% GUARANTEE YOU THAT MY CAR WOULD QUALIFY. SO NOW EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR I WASH THE CAR, DUE TO NISSAN'S DESIGN AND ENGINEERING DEFECTS, I'M ONE STEP CLOSER TO HAVING A BUILT-IN EXHAUST FUME AIR CONDITIONER. A MODERN DAY "FLINTSTONES" CAR IF YOU WILL. CRIMINAL!

RUSTED FLOOR PANEL IN THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH SO THERE IS A HOLE. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BOTH AFFECTED.

AFTER PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE I NOTICED THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR PANS WERE RUSTED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THERE IS A HOLE THROUGH THE FLOOR PAN INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I ASKED NISSAN TO FIX IT OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY DUE TO THIS BEING A COMMON ISSUE AMONG SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN ALTIMAS BETWEEN 2002 - 2007. NISSAN OF AMERICA SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX IT. I AM HOPING YOU (NHTSA) CAN HELP IN THIS MATTER.

SO BESIDES THE FACT THAT MY FLOOR BOARD ON MY DRIVERS SIDE HAS A HUGE HOLE IN IT, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAS CAUSE ME ENOUGH PROBLEMS TO WHERE I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH, WHEN ACCELERATING IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU CHANGE THE SENSOR. I'VE HAD MINE CHANGED FOUR TIMES. I AM ACTUALLY SICK OF THIS VEHICLE NOW AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. TO MAKE IT WORSE I CAN'T TAKE THE CAR OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE IT WILL GET HOT THEN THE CLUTCH STICKS TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE TO LIFT IT WITH MY FOOT AND IT STILL WON'T ENGAGE, IT LOSES ALL PRESSURE. SO DRIVING LONG DISTANCE IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. I ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET MY CAR TO GO INTO THIRD GEAR. WHEN I DO GET IN AN ACCIDENT I WILL SUE NISSAN AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO KNEW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND SAT BACK AND DID NOTHING.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A WHINING NOISE AT IDLE AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING. UPON FURTHER REVIEW AND EXTENSIVE ONLINE RESEARCH AT MAXIMA FORUM, I HAVE FOUND OUT THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW ON THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS ON THESE V6 ENGINES. IF NOT REPAIRED CAN RESULT IN EXTENSIVE REPAIRS AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF ENGINE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS PAST THE WARRANTY MILEAGE. I DON'T KNOW IF NISSAN WILL GRANT THE FREE REPAIR SINCE IT IS A DESIGN FLAW BY THE MANUFACTURER.

CAR SHUDDERED AND RPM DROPPED AND THEN CAME BACK UP TO CURRENT RPM LEVEL. CAME TO STOP LIGHT AND VEHICLE WAS THEN PUT INTO LIMP MODE. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND RPM'S WOULD NOT GO OVER 2000. PULLED OVER AND TURNED CAR OFF. RESTARTED CAR AND BEGAN TO TRY AND DRIVE IT AGAIN. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. TRIED TO MANUALLY SHIFT THE AUTOMATIC TRANS AND IT WOULD HIT HARD UPON GEAR SHIFTS BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME THE REMAINING FEW MILES.. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO A MECHANICS SHOP THE NEXT MORNING AND THE CODES INDICATE CAM POSITION SENSOR FAILURES. I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND A RECALL FOR THIS UNDER R2022 BUT OF COURSE MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS IT IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I AM WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS COMPLETELY RESOLVED AT MY EXPENSE. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

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

FLOOR BOARDS ROTTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

CAR WAS IN SHOP FOR FRONT END SUSPENSION AND TECHNICIAN POINTED OUT RUST HOLES UNDER BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEATS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE BODY, AND WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION IF OBJECT IN ROAD IS HIT AND COMES UP UNDER THE UNDERCARRIAGE.

I AM DRIVING A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA SE-R WITH APPROXIMATELY 140,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD AND COMING TO A STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT, PROBABLY AT 5 TO 10 MPH. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND GOT THE ENGINE CODE AND IT IS FOR CAN SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I BROWSED INTERNET AND THIS SEEMS A COMMON PROBLEM

I AM PLACING A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY FOR FAULTY FLOORING IN THEIR ALTIMA MODELS. I TRIED TO HAVE OUR CAR A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA INSPECTED TODAY BUT IT FAILED DO TO RUSTING FLOORS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER FEET SECTION. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE NOW THAT NBC NEWS HAS BROKE THE STORY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN ONE OF THE BROAD CAST. NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE LET OFF THE HOOK WITH THIS ISSUE SO I'M WRITING TO YOU IN HOPES THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN . THIS COMPANY SCREWED UP NOW PEOPLE SUCH AS MY FAMILY ARE LEFT WONDERING HOW TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING !!!

MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, THEN SAW SMOKE AND STOPPED THE CAR, WHEN HE RAISED THE HOOD THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE TRIED TO PUT IT OUT WITH WATER AFTER HE SAW HE COULD NOT STOP THE FLAMES CALLED 911 THE CARE TOTALLY BURNED NOTHING LEFT EXCEPT FRAME THE FIRE DEPT. PUT OUT THE FIRE BUT THE CAR WAS ALREADY BURNED.

THE ENGINE STARTED TO STALL AND THE CAR WON'T MOVE. THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. FINALLY, THE CAR SIMPLY STOPPED, AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO A SAFE PLACE TO PARK.DHARM

TOOK CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT FLOOR PANS WERE RUSTED ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. IN THE 7-8 YEARS CAR WAS BEING SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP THERE WAS NEVER ANY MENTION OF RUST. RESEARCHED ON INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ALTIMA MODEL YEARS 2002-2005. CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS 4-13-15 TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND REQUEST THEY REPAIR IT SINCE I REMEMBERED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I HAD RECEIVED A NOTICE REGARDING POSSIBLE CORROSION OF THE REAR SUB-FRAME [NOT SAME PART BUT STILL UNDERCARRIAGE RELATED AND PERHAPS MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME COMPANY]. WAS ADVISED BY 1ST REPRESENTATIVE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT EVALUATED. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE RUST AND TOOK PICTURES [I ASKED FOR A COPIES OF THE PICTURES BUT NEVER GOT THEM]. CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS BACK [SAME DAY] AND CASE WAS ASSIGNED TO A REPRESENTATIVE. REP CALLED 4-14-15 AND TOLD ME TO GET AN ESTIMATE [THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT PERFORM THIS TYPE OF REPAIR SO THEY COULD NOT GIVE AN ESTIMATE]. TOOK CAR TO A BODY SHOP AND GOT AN ESTIMATE OF APPROXIMATELY $2,000.00. RECEIVED DECISION FROM NISSAN REP 5-5-15. THEY WOULD NOT BE REPAIRING DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE ON THE CAR AS WELL AS THE ENVIRONMENT. ACCORDING TO INFORMATION I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS TO BE MORE OF A DESIGN FLAW AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ONE AT THAT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE A LOOK INTO NISSAN'S STANCE ON THIS ISSUE? IT SEEMS QUITE RIDICULOUS TO ASK THE OWNER TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT THE MANUFACTURER PROBABLY KNEW WAS FAULTY IN THE FIRST PLACE [AND IF THEY DIDN'T SURELY THEY KNOW BY NOW]. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE MY HUSBAND FELT THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR COLLAPSES AT WHICH TIME HE INSPECTED THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED A LARGE RUSTED THROUGH AREA UNDER THE PASSENGERS SIDE. DUE TO THE ADVANCE RUST AND ROT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD OF THE VEHICLE I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY AS WELL AS VAPORS COULD ENTER THE PASSENGERS COMPARTMENT THROUGH THE COMPROMISED PASSENGERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. *TR

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS RUSTED THROUGH. CAR IS STORED IN GARAGE. ORIGINAL OWNER. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD IS NEARLY RUSTED OUT. THIS CONDITION WAS DISCOVERED DURING RECENT VEHICLE INSPECTION. *TR

RUSTED OUT FLOOR PAN ON DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. *TR

THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTED THROUGH ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. *TR

FLOOR BOARDS ARE ROTTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THEY BOTH NEED REPLACMENT IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CLUTCH WILL GO TO THE FLOOR. IT WILL HAPPEN WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START IT OR IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. NO WARNING SIGNS. IT JUST HAPPENS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT NOTICED CORROSION DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD RIOTED OUT ABOUT 10+6 AREA. *TR

PASSENGER-SIDE FLOORBOARD IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PRE-MATURE RUST AS MANY OTHER SIMILAR ALTIMAS. RUST AREA IS APPROXIMATELY 8 INCHES BY 12 INCHES, AND HAS ALREADY BEGAN CRUMBLING AWAY. VEHICLE IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND IS WELL-MAINTAINED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DESIGN FLAW, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY NISSAN. *TR

PART OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR RUSTED AWAY LEAVING ABOUT A 10" X 12" HOLE. THIS IS RIGHT WHERE ONE WOULD PROBABLY PLACE ONE'S FEET, GETTING IN AND OUT AND WHILE RIDING. GERWECK NISSAN, IN MONROE, MICHIGAN VERIFIED THE PROBLEM AND REPORTED IT TO NISSAN COMPANY. NISSAN COMPANY REP. IN AN E-MAIL DISCUSSION DECIDED NOT TO REPAIR THE FLOOR. WHAT I DERIVED FROM MY EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE, IS WHEN A NISSAN IS NINE YEARS OLD AND HAS HIGH MILEAGE IF THE METAL RUSTS AWAY IT IS NORMAL AND EXPECTED. *TR

I WAS BACKING INTO A SPACE IN A GARAGE AND THE CAR JUST SPEED BACKWARDS ON ITS OWN AT HIGH SPEED. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WHERE THE CAR SEEMED TO GO ON ITS OWN. LAST YEAR IT WENT FORWARD AND I COULD NOT STOP IT RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED IN THE SAME GARAGE. LUCKILY IT FINALLY STOPPED AND I DID NOT HIT ANOTHER CAR. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR PAN RUST THROUGH. *TR

EXCESSIVE UNDERBODY RUST IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FOOTWELL AREA. NO SHEETMETAL REMAINS IN SOME AREAS, ALLOWING FOR DIRECT ACCESS TO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANYONE SEATED THERE. THIS IS A ONE-OWNER VEHICLE, WHICH HAD AUTO ARMOR UNDERBODY PROTECTANT APPLIED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND IS WASHED REGULARLY, ESPECIALLY DURING SALT MONTHS. *TR

FORWARD IS RUSTING UNDERNEATH ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE,HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICED WHEN NEEDED OIL CHANGES REGULARLY WASHED REGULARLY TAKEN CARE OF VERY WELL AN ALL HIGHWAY MILES MAJORITY OF THE TIME. KEEP HAVING TO REPAIR THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AS WELL BEEN SPENDING LOTS OF MONEY LATELY I UNDERSTAND PROBLEMS ARISE OVER TIME BUT THE RUST UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD CONSIDERING I DRIVE A LOT OF MILES ON THE FREEWAY. FOUND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM HAPPENING WITH HUNDREDS OF NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THESE YEAR MODELS. I HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDING THE NISSAN TOO MANY PEOPLE I LOVE THIS CAR AND NOW I AM AFRAID TO GET ANOTHER ONE AND I HAD PLANNED ON GETTING ANOTHER ONE SO IF THIS ISSUE ISN'T HELPED AND TAKEN CARE OF I WILL LOOK TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT KIND OF CAR. *TR

THE FLOOR BOARDS HAS EXCESSIVE RUST. THIS OCCURS ON THE UNDER SIDE OF THE BODY. THE LOCATION IS APPROXIMATELY AT THE LOCATION WHERE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS FEET SIT ON THE FLOOR. *TR

FRIEND IN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY ALTIMA, CUT HER ANKLE WHEN HER FOOT WENT THRU MY PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD..THIS IS A ROTT ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAS IGNORED FOR YEARS NOW... AND ITS NOT A SALT ISSUE ITS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE FLOOR BECAUSE OF NOT BEING SEALED GOOD AT FACTORY...SOMEONE WILL EVENTUALLY GET HURT OR KILLED ,, AS THIS ROTT WILL EVENTUALITY SPEED INTO FRAME AND SUSPENSION.. NISSAN IS TRYIN TO GET OUT OF A FIX, JUST LIKE THE EARLY PATHFINDER FRAME/SHOCK TOWER RUST ISSUE.. WHERE THEY NOW BUY BACK THE VEH IF IT NEEDS THE RECALL... AS ALWAYS SOMEONE HAS TO BE KILLED BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN...NISSAN SAYS VEH AGE, WILL EVENTUALLY RUST,, BUT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR YEARS NOW .... LOOK ON NISSAN FORUMS. COMPLAINTS FOR YEARS NOW.... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS CORRODED. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,279.

1. PRECAT FAILURE WHICH LED TO NEEDING OF A COMPLETE LONG BLOCK REPLACEMENT. @ 49875 MILES 2. CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY CAUSED PREMATURE CLUTCH FAILURE AND REPLACEMENT OF MANUAL TRANSMISSION.@ 94571 MILES 3. PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR HAS COMPLETELY ROTTED THRU!!!! @ 100000 MILES, THIS CUTS THE CAKE! CAR IS JUNK!

I ALREADY PAID FOR RUSTED OUT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANS AND UNDER. ALMOST $500.00. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN CERTAIN MODELS BECAUSE OF TWO HOLES YOU CAN VISIBLY SEE UNDER THE CAR ON BOTH SIDES. DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DESIGNED IT LIKE THAT BECAUSE WHAT'S HAPPENING IS MOISTURE GOES UP IN THERE AND FLOWS OVER TO THE SIDES OF THE CAR UNDER THE DOORS AND RUSTS. MY CAR AS NOT BEEN RUN IN THE SALT AT ALL AND I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T NECESSARILY SALT BUT JUST WATER THAT SETTLES AND SITS BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN FLAW, WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN CHANGED. I THINK THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS AND ARE WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO GET RID OF THEIR CARS SO IF THEY ARE ORDERED TO DO A RECALL, THE NUMBERS WOULD BE LOWER. I WANT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS AND THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR PLAN CHECKED AS WELL. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND HAD ABOUT 76,00 ON IT WHEN I HAD THE FIRST SIDE DONE. THANKS AND I WAS DENIED INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THIS , STATING IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE! ALSO WE JUST MOVED BACK TO NH AND HAVE BEEN LIVING IN SOUTHERN STATES BECAUSE OF MY HUSBANDS JOB. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT FLOORBOARDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES WERE RUSTED THROUGH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD A FRACTURED ENGINE MOUNT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,009. UPDATED. 5/28/15 *TA THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT FLOORBOARD WAS RUSTED THROUGH. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS RUSTY AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BUT NOT REPAIRED. UPDATED 11/23/2015*JS

WE ARE THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR, A FAMILY MEMBER WAS THE FIRST AND BOUGHT IT NEW FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. ONE DAY IN OCTOBER 2014 MY HUSBAND GOT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SAID IT FELT SQUISHY. HE STUCK HIS HAND UNDER AND COULD FEEL ROT. WE DROVE THE 2.1 MILES HOME AND THEN HE LOOKED. THAT IS WHEN HE DISCOVERED A HOLE AT LEAST 9 INCHES IN THE FLOOR. I ASKED THE PREVIOUS OWNER IF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED THAT WOULD CAUSE THAT AND HE SAID SO IT WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DEALER WHO DID ALL THE MAINTENANCE WORK NEVER MENTIONED SEEING A RUST SPOT. NOW THE HOLE IS HUGE AND IS GOING FAST. WE HAVE TO USE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD A NEW ONE. NISSAN SAYS IT IS BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD CAR. MY 1993 HONDA CIVIC (OVER 210,000 WISCONSIN MILES ON IT) AND MY HUSBAND'S 2002 NISSAN SENTRA SER ARE OLDER AND THEY DO NOT HAVE RUST UNDERNEATH. WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH A WINDOW OPEN BECAUSE THE EXHAUST SMELL AT A STOP SIGN OR WHEN THE WIND IS BLOWING AGAINST THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. WE HAVE 2 YOUNG KIDS THAT HAVE TO RIDE IN THIS CAR AS WE NO LONGER HAVE THE CIVIC AND THE SER IS SMALL. WISH NISSAN WOULD OWN THEIR MISTAKE/DESIGN FLAW AND FIX THIS FOR EVERYONE. IT WOULD LOOK GOOD FOR THEM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND SET A "LEAD BY EXAMPLE" INITIATIVE TO ALL CAR MANUFACTURERS. *TR

THE FLOORBOARD UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE IS ROTTED OUT, CENTERED AROUND THE DRAIN PLUGS. THE LARGER HOLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS 6 INCHES BY 12 INCHES AND STILL EXPANDING. THIS DESIGN FLAW HAS BEEN REPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS WITH SIMILAR-AGE CARS. THE REST OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS FINE. *TR

THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR PANEL IS RUSTED THROUGH TO THE GROUND. UNDERNEATH THE CARPET, JUST BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL, THE FLOOR METAL IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. NOTHING HAPPENED THAT IMMEDIATELY CAUSED THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A REAL PROBLEM. IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF MY FEET WERE TO TOUCH THE STREET WHILE DRIVING AND RIP MY FOOT OFF. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA FOR MY SON WHO IS GOING AWAY TO COLLEGE. WHEN SEEING ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE RUST ISSUES WITH THE ALTIMA'S I IMMEDIATELY WENT AND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR TO DISCOVER THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS ARE RUSTED THROUGH TO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE. DUE TO THE MULTIPLE ISSUE IN THE 2002-2006 NISSAN ALTIMAS I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE VEHICLE. AT THE VERY LEAST NISSAN SHOULD PROVIDE A GOODWILL RECALL AND STOP TRYING TO PUSH THE BLAME ON OTHER ISSUES. *TR

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND A YEARLY INSPECTION. WHILE DOING THE INSPECTION THE MECHANIC TOOK NOTICE OF THE SEVERE RUSTING OF THE FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR BOARDS. HE SAID THAT IT PASSED INSPECTION AND THAT SOMETHING WILL HAVE TO BE DONE ABOUT THE RUST DAMAGE SOON BEFORE IT GETS WORSE AND I END UP PUTTING MY FOOT THROUGH IT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME I LIVE IN A 4 SEASON STATE AND THAT IT IS NORMAL DO TO SALT EROSION. I HAVE HAD A GARAGE KEPT VEHICLE AND I AM CONSTANTLY CLEANING THE CAR DURING THE WINTER BECAUSE I KNOW SALT EATS CARS. HERE I AM 2 MONTHS LATER AND I SEE THE OUT CRY OF OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS ON THE TODAY SHOW. HOW CAN THEY BE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. I PLAN TO GET A NEW CAR WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR SO IN ORDER TO SELL THIS ONE I WILL HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX IT BECAUSE NO USED CAR BUYER WOULD WANT TO BUY IT IN THIS STATE. WHY IS NISSAN NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN.

UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED SIGNIFICANTLY RUSTED FLOORBOARDS BELOW THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE FLOOR IS WEAK FROM EXTENSIVE RUST. *TR

THE FLOORBOARDS IN THE CAR HAVE ROTTED AND RUSTED CAUSING HOLES IN FLOORBOARD WHICH IS BEYOND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE CAR FLOOR STARTING RUSTING ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. *TR

THE FLOOR PAN OF THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE RUSTED OUT AFTER ONLY 5 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOW SO BAD THAT YOU CAN PUSH YOUR FOOT RIGHT THROUGH THE FLOOR PAN OF THE VEHICLE TO THE PAVEMENT BELOW. I GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND EVEN RINSE THE UNDERBODY OF THE CAR AFTER STORMS TO REMOVE THE SALT. I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR RUST OUT SO QUICKLY AND IN SUCH A . *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS BEING CHECKED THE WHOLE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR WAS IN REAL GOOD SHAPED ALL EXCEPT UNDER THE PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD IT IS RUSTED THROUGH AND A BIG HOLE IS THERE IT IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPAIRED IT IS LIKE IT WAS MISSED BEING UNDERCOATED IN THAT SPOT. THE HOLE IS PROBABLY 12" X 18" THAT WILL HAVE TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

NOTICED RUST. TOOK IT TO NISSAN. FLOORBOARD RUSTED OUT. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED. REPAIRS RUN BETWEEN $3,000 TO $4500. NOW EATING THROUGH TO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. HAVE TO AVOID AREAS OF FLOOR BOARD TO NOT PUT FOOT THROUGH. ALSO, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH PEDAL 3 TIMES. IT BREAKS AND IS CITED ON NUMEROUS WEB DISCUSSIONS. AIR CONDITIONER QUIT AT 36,500 MI. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA FOR MY SON IN MARCH OF 2008 BECAUSE HE WAS LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 12,561 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME AND WE REALLY GOT A GOOD DEAL ON THE CAR. MY SON HAS BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE FROM THE FIRST DAY WE BOUGHT IT, AND NOW HE USES IT AT SCHOOL DOWN IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR FOR HIM AND HE IS REALLY HAPPY WITH IT. HE TAKES EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF THE CAR, MAKING NECESSARY REPAIRS AS THEY COME UP ALONG WITH THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. WITH ONLY 75,522 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WE FIGURED THE CAR WOULD PROBABLY LAST AT LEAST ANOTHER 50,000 MILES IF NOT MORE. WELL, IT WOULD LAST THAT LONG IF THE FLOOR BOARDS ON THE VEHICLE WEREN'T LITERALLY FALLING OUT FROM UNDER HIM. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING, ROTTED OUT FLOOR BOARDS DUE TO RUST! I NOW HAVE TO TAKE MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS TO TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NISSAN WON'T STEP UP AND ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. WE WERE HOPING THIS CAR WOULD LAST ANOTHER 2 YEARS UNTIL MY SON IS DONE WITH COLLEGE BUT I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE SO LUCKY. HE IS ALREADY EXPERIENCING A HOLE IN THE FLOOR BOARD UNDER HIS RIGHT HEEL UNDER THE GAS PEDAL. RIGHT NISSAN, THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE AT ALL!!! WHAT ABOUT IF HIS ENTIRE LEG GOES THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARD WHILE HE'S DRIVING....DO YOU THINK THAT MIGHT BE AN ISSUE??? WE MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE AND WE KNOW THAT IT WILL LAST ANOTHER 2 YEARS BUT WITH THIS FLOOR BOARD RUSTING PROBLEM IT MAY FORCE US TO BUY MY SON ANOTHER VEHICLE A LOT SOONER THAN WE REALLY ANTICIPATED DOING. THANKS FOR NOTHING NISSAN! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS RUSTED AND FRACTURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE METAL FLOOR UNDER THE CARPET IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS AGO BUT IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2002-2006 NISSAN ALTIMAS. *TR

AFTER HEARING ON THE TODAY SHOW THIS MORNING COMPLAINTS AGAINST NISSAN REGARDING UNDER CARRIAGE RUST I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT AS WELL. IN APPROX. 2012 WHILE WALKING TOWARDS MY CAR I NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY PASSENGER SIDE. UNDER FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED SEVERE RUSTING AND IT HAD ACTUALLY RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARD. THE ONLY THING HOLDING MY FEET IN THE CAR WAS THE CARPET. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD OH WELL SO SAD NOT GONNA HELP ME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I HAD PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS HAD THE CAR SERVICED REGULARLY AT UFTRING NISSAN IN PEORIA ILLINOIS. THIS WAS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE 4 YEARS PRIOR TO ME IN THE MANY TRIPS I MADE FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGES AND SEVERAL STRUT REPAIRS ON THIS CAR. YES I HAVE HAD STRUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY ONE. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2008. ANYHOW, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY BODY GUY AND HE REPLACED. THE FLOORBOARD FOR 500 BUCKS AND SAID THE DRIVER SIDE IS HEADED IN THE SAME DIRECTION. AT THIS TIME I KNOW OF NO ISSUES WITH RUSTING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I PERSONALLY CHECK EVERY TIME THE CAR IS LIFTED. HOWEVER IF IT IS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT IT IS MORE THAN POSSIBLE THAT BY THE TIME I COULD VISUALLY SEE DAMAGE IT WILL BE COMPLETELY THROUGH WITH CARPET BEING THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME INSIDE. I ABSOLUTELY WANT NISSAN TO NOT ONLY PAY FOR THE FIRST REPLACEMENT BUT FIX THE PROBLEM SO I AM NOT PARANOID ABOUT THE SEAT FALLING THROUGH WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THIS IS TOTAL NEGLIGENCE ON NISSANS PART. *TR

MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2005 WOULDN'T PASS INSPECTION DUE TO RUST AND CORROSION UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE FEET AREA. I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT NOW THE DRIVER SIDE IS EVEN WORSE AND CAUSING LOTS IN DAMAGES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT'S FOOT WENT THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD WHEN HE STEPPED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE FLOORBOARDS AND FLOOR PANS ON THE VEHICLE WERE RUSTED THROUGH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FLOORBOARDS WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FLOORBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

WAS INFORMED DURING ROUTINE SERVICE (OIL CHANGE AND WINTER/SUMMER TIRE SWAP) THAT THERE WAS EXTENSIVE RUST IN FRONT FLOOR PANEL AND THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS NEXT YEAR'S SAFETY INSPECTION UNLESS RUSTED AREA WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING REGULAR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS RUSTED AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT. THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE RUST SPREAD TO OTHER PARTS, LIKE THE FRAME AND A HOLE DEVELOPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

DEFECTIVE DRAIN SYSTEM FOR WATER RUN OFF HAS CAUSED PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE FLOOR PAN TO RUST COMPLETELY THROUGH. THERE ARE HOLES IN MY FLOOR WHERE FEET ARE PLACED. *TR

AFTER SEEING A REPORT ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING THAT NISSAN ALTIMAS ARE HAVING SYSTEMATIC ISSUES WITH RUSTING UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS, I LOOKED UNDER MY 2005 ALTIMA, AND CAN SEE VISIBLE RUSTING UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS. IT HAS RUSTED, CORRODED AND IS FLAKING OFF. IF YOU TOUCH IT, IT FALLS APART. IT HAS NEARLY RUSTED THROUGH. I UNDERSTAND NISSAN WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE POSITION THAT THIS IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW OR A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THESE CARS, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. IF THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, HOW COULD IT JUST BE COINCIDENCE? I AM ABOUT TO HAVE A CHILD, AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CHILD AROUND IN THIS CAR. I ALSO UNDERSTAND NISSAN ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WITH RESPECT TO THIS ISSUE YEARS AGO, SO THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT FOR YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED FUMES IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED CORROSION AND HOLES ON THE FLOORBOARDS OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FLOORBOARDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT. *TR

THE BOTTOM OF MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA IS RUSTING THROUGH TO THE FLOOR BOARDS. THERE IS ABOUT A 10 INCH ROUND AREA ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THERE IS EXCESSIVE RUST. I AM WONDERING IF IT IS A DEFECT AS I EVEN HAD RUST PROOFING DONE AT THE TIME THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE RUST PROOFING MAY'VE SLOWED THE PROGRESS BUT COULDN'T PREVENT THE PROBLEM (AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED). *TR

THE FLOOR PAN ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAS SEVERE RUST AND HAS RUSTED THROUGH IN SOME SPOTS. THE REST OF THE CAR HAS NO OTHER RUST PROBLEMS AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE. I KEEP MY CAR IN GOOD MAINTENANCE AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ONLY THESE AREAS ARE EFFECTED. *TR

A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS ALERTED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE PASSENGER FLOOR BOARDS WERE RUSTING AT AN ADVANCED RATE. MY MECHANIC SAID THE REST OF THE CAR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE AND IT WAS A SHAME THE FLOOR WAS FAILING PREMATURELY. HE RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A SERVICE RECALL OR A SERVICE BULLETIN. I STOPPED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON A SATURDAY AND THE SERVICE WRITER LOOKED AT THE FLOOR OF MY CAR AND SAID THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A THING ON ANY NISSAN. HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO AND RECOMMENDED WE CONTACT NISSAN. WE CONTACT NISSAN AND NEVER EVEN GOT A RESPONSE. AT THE TIME WE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE REPORTING THE ISSUE. SO I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT NISSAN HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE. MY MECHANIC HAS KEPT AN EYE ON THE RUST WHEN I AM IN FOR SERVICE AND HE HAS MENTIONED IT IS GETTING WORST AT A RAPID RATE AND THAT IT IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE THIS DESIGN DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5. 128,000 MILES ON IT, COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK I FOUND OUT THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE COMPLETED ROTTED OUT ON BOTH SIDES, SO BAD THAT ONE CAN STICK THEIR HANDS IN AND FEEL MY CARPET. THE MECHANICS WERE SO SURPRISED HOW BAD THEY WERE AND THIS WAS THE ONLY PART OF THE BASE WHICH WAS ROTTEN. NOW MY CAR IS JUNK AND I WONT EVEN TAKE OR RESELL MY CAR. NISSAN AUTOBODY SAYS IT WILL COST ME 1200 PER SIDE TOTALING $2400 TO FIX THE FLOOR BOARDS WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED A WHILE AGO!! I NOW HAVE NO VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND IM SCARED OF DRIVING IT ANYMORE. AND DO NOT WANT TO INVEST $2400 DOLLARS ON SOMETHING THAT IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE, ITS A STRUCTURAL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

FOLLOWING A ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT THE FLOOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT AND THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS A ONE OWNER CAR AND I AM A 75 YEAR OLD FEMALE. THE CAR HAD OUTSTANDING CARE. IT WAS NOT GARAGED THROUGHOUT ITS LIFETIME BUT IT DID GET EXCELLENT CARE. FLOOR REPAIR IS ESTIMATED TO COST OVER $1,00.00 DOLLARS. THAT IS MONEY THAT I CANNOT AFFORD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WENT TO GO START THE CAR, PUSHED IN CLUTCH AS NORMAL, STARTED FINE, BUT WHEN I WENT TO GO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, IT WOULDN'T GO. I LIFTED THE CLUTCH AND IT WAS STUCK ON THE FLOOR. I HAD TO MANUALLY LIFT IT UP WITH MY HAND. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN IT WAS FINE. THEN WHEN I AM DRIVING IT DOES NOT GO UP ALL THE WAY IT DROPS ABOUT 2 INCHES AND STAYS WHICH GRINDS THE CLUTCH AND CAUSES PREMATURE WEAR! *TR

FLOOR PANS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH ON FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDES. YOU CAN SEE THE CARPETING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AND ITS NOT EVEN TEN YEARS OLD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE RUST DAMAGE TO THE FLOOR PAN. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PAN HAD A HOLE MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 12 INCHES BY 18 INCHES. IT APPEARED THE RUST ORIGINATED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT. THE RUST DAMAGE WAS DIRECTLY BELOW THE PASSENGER SEAT EXTENDING 18 INCHES FORWARD. *JB

DURING 2ND WEEK OF FEBRUARY,2015, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT STUCK. AFTER SOME STRUGGLE, THE BRAKES STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 0 DEGREE F. I CALLED ONE OF THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT IT COULD BE DUE TO CRUD OR ICE BUILT UP IN THE BRAKES. ON THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN 20'S. WE GOT THE CAR WASHED TO GET ANY CRUD OR ICE REMOVED FROM THE BRAKES. ON 2/20/2015, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT STUCK AGAIN. THE BRAKES STARTED WORKING AGAIN AFTER SOME STRUGGLE. THE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 0 DEGREE F. FORTUNATELY BOTH TIMES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT STUCK, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC. ON 2/20/15, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BOOSTER HOSE WITH VALVE. NOTE: THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR WITH THE NISSAN DEALER WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF.

MY FLOORBOARDS ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE ROTTING THROUGH ON MY PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 70K MILES . IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. I'M WORRIED THAT MY PASSENGERS FEET MAY GO THROUGH THE FLOOR. I'VE OWNED A FEW CARS AND I'VE NEVER SEEN FLOORBOARDS ROT LIKE THIS.IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM....JUST GOOGLE IT.... I HAVE A 1991 TOYOTA SUPRA THAT HAS ABOUT 130K MILES , DRIVIEN I THE SAME CONDITIONS AND IVE NEVER SEEN THIS. NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO HELP. IVE TRIED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY DON'T CARE. *TR

I PURCHASED SOMEONE ELSE LEMON! EXTREME USE OF OIL WITH NO VISIBLE OIL LEAKS. I HAVE TO ADD OIL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. NO ONE CAN FIND AN OIL LEAK. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND 1000'S OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. IT IS A KNOWN NISSAN PROBLEM THAT THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE BATTERY AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND THE VIAS SWIRL CONTROL VALVES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING).THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,500.

THE VEHICLE STARTING LOSING THE PAINT FOR NO REASON IVE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF MY CARS THERES NO VALID REASON THAT THIS PAINT SHOULD HAVE STARTED TO CRACK LIKE THIS. *TR

ON A RECENT TRIP FOR OIL CHANGE I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A SPOT OF RUST ON THE REAR QUARTER PANEL. THEY SAID A BRACKET WAS RUSTING THAT HOLDS THE REAR QUARTER PANEL ON. THE REAL PROBLEM, THEY POINTED OUT WAS THE SEVERE RUST UNDER THE FRONT FLOORBOARDS, BOTH PASSENGER'S AND DRIVER'S SIDE. I WAS HOPING TO GET ABOUT 6,000 FOR THE CAR TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF A NEW ONE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE RUNS GREAT IT IS VERY UPSETTING TO KNOW THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY SAID THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE RUST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED IN COLD WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I SAW A TV NEWS STORY ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH 2002-2006 NISSAN ALTIMAS HAVING RUSTED OUT FLOORBOARDS. I CHECKED UNDERNEATH MY NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE FLOORBOARD IS RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT WHERE THERE IS A HOLE IN IT. YOU CAN PUT YOUR FINGER IN IT AND CHIP AWAY THE METAL IN THE FLOORBOARD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HOLE IS ONLY GOING TO GET BIGGER AS THE METAL WILL RUST EVEN MORE. *TR

FIRST THING I NOTICED THE RUSTING OF THE FLOOR UNDERNEATH THE SCREW BOLTS HOLDING DOWN THE DRIVER SEAT TO BE COMPLETELY RUSTED, MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THAT SCREW BOLT SNAPS OR PULL AWAY FROM THE FLOOR BOARD THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHILE MAKING A TURN AND THE SEAT SLIPS OUT OF PLACE WHILE TURNING. I QUESTIONED THIS AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THIS PAST DECEMBER 2014 WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE 61,000 MILE CHECK UP. THEN I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT MY STEERING HAD CONTAMINATION IN IT, WHICH FROM JANUARY OF 2005 NISSAN IS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT PERFORMS MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR. I CAME HOME AND LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET ABOUT ANY RECALLS ON NISSAN CONCERNING STEERING PROBLEMS. I HAD READ WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN CAR WRECKS CONCERNING THE STEER GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

CAR STARTS AND STALLS/ENGINE LIGHT ON. WAS TOLD IT IS THE CRANK AND CAM SENSOR AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION INPUT SPEED SENSOR. WE NOTICED THIS IS A BIG ISSUE AND MANY CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT ALL, INCLUDING OURS. IF THIS IS SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE WHY ARE ONLY SOME BEING REPAIRED BY DEALER. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO GET THE DEALER TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS MY FATHER'S CAR BUT IT IS MY INFORMATION BELOW. HE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR UPDATED 4/13/2015*JS

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA, IT APPEARS TO HAVE SHIFTING ISSUES THAT ARE KNOWN TO NISSAN. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. HARD SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AT INITIAL START UP. ALSO HAVE SHIFTING ISSUES FROM 3RD TO 4TH. THE SHIFTING FROM 3/4 IS WHEN VEHICLE IS AT OPERATING TEMPS. THERE IS A VERY HARD SHIFT AND DELAY IN SHIFT. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS, AND ALL CLAIM NOT TO HAVE ANY RECALLS OR BULLETINS, OR DENY HEARING OF ANY SHIFTING ISSUES. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. GOING INTO 4TH FROM 3RD, VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A DELAY AND STALLS, UNIT REVS, AND FINALLY KICKS INTO GEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. DUE TO CORROSION ON THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE, A HOLE DEVELOPED ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE RUST MUST BE REMOVED AND A METAL PLATE MUST BE WELDED TO REPAIR THE HOLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 3/24/15*CN UPDATED 9/18/2017*CN

I WAS WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AND WHEN I STARTED GOING AND MY CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE SO I THOUGHT SOMEBODY HIT ME. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR,BUT NO HIT TO MY CAR. I THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. IT DIDN'T HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL A FEW MONTHS LATER. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I START DRIVING I HEAR A BOOM SOUND AND I FEEL THAT MY ENGINE IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN. IT FEELS LIKE MY GEARS ARE NOT CONNECTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND OR IF THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT CONNECTING WITH MY ENGINE. IF I START DRIVING AND THEN I SPEED UP, MY CAR MAKES THE BOOM NOISE. THE SAME HAPPENS WHEN I'M COMING DOWN THE ROAD AT A REGULAR SPEED AND I SLOW DOWN BECAUSE TRAFFIC IS SLOWING, BUT THEN WE CONTINUE AT THE REGULAR SPEED MY CAR MAKES THE BOOM NOISE LIKE THE GEARS DIDN'T CONNECT. MY CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH NISSAN FOR ANY RECALLS BECAUSE MY CAR GAVE HIM A MOTOR CODE P0726 WHICH HAS TO DUE WITH THE MOTOR'S CRANKSHAFT. HE TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE NOT CONNECTING. I SEARCH TO SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD THAT PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUE FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY THERE'S A RECALL SOON TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FLOOR BOARDS UNDERNEATH PASSENGER SIDES ARE ROTTING THROUGH...WHY??!!!!!!!!! *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE HAD EXCESSIVE RUST AND A HOLE WAS DEVELOPING UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

AT 80K MILES, THE 3.5L INFINITY/350Z MOTOR THAT HAS BEEN *VERY* WELL TAKEN CARE OF HAD A KNOWN ISSUE OCCUR WHICH CAUSED THE VALVE TO COME LOOSE IN THE ENGINE. THERE IS A PROBLEM WHERE SOME SCREWS WHICH HOLD A BUTTERFLY VALVE TOGETHER WIGGLE LOOSE AND IS INGESTED INTO THE ENGINE. THIS CAUSES THE VALVE TO GET DAMAGED AND FALL OUT RESULTING IN TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. NISSAN KNOWS THIS OCCURS AND IS UNWILLING TO HELP ME WITH THE REPAIR. WHEN THIS OCCURRED TO ME, I WAS IN A VERY BAD SITUATION AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GAIN CONTROL AGAIN HOWEVER THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE CAR WHEN I NEARLY WENT INTO THE DITCH. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT AS WELL. SO NISSAN KNOWS THEIR TOP OF THE LINE ENGINES CAN WITH NO WARNING FAIL WHICH AT ANY SPEED CAN BE A POTENTIAL SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE FIX IS SIMPLE TO PREVENT IT, SECURE THOSE SCREWS WITH SOME GLUE OR LOCK TIGHT, BUT IF THEY ADMIT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, THEN THEY'D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGED ENGINES AND THEY SEEM TO PREFER TO DENY IT. I JUST SPENT A WEEK TRYING TO GET THEM TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY WONT. THIS IS BEYOND A WARRANTY ISSUE IN MY OPINION IF IT CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOOSE POWER AND LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT HAPPENS QUICKLY AND THE IMPACT ON CONTROL IS IMMEDIATE. NOT SAFE AT ANY SPEED. SO THIS COMPLAINT IS ONE OF SAFETY AND ONE OF HAVING TO COVER A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE NO MATTER HOW WELL YOU TAKE CAR OF YOUR ENGINE. *TR

BOUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA NEW AND REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN CRYSTAL LAKE, IL. IT HAS 111,000 MILES ON IT, GARAGE KEPT AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ON OCTOBER 15, 2014 A PRIVATE PARTY INFORMED ME OF MY RUSTED FLOORBOARDS. THE DEALERSHIP IN ALL 9 1/2 YEARS NEVER MENTIONED THIS TO ME. CONTACTED NISSAN CORP WHO PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH REGIONAL REP. PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AND ESTIMATE OBTAINED BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM TOLD A TSB WAS ISSUED. *JS

I PURCHASED MY 2005 ALTIMA 2.5 S DECEMBER 2004 AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAD TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM FOR A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FRONT THE ENGINE AREA AND A FEELING UNDER MY FEET LIKE SOMEONE WAS UNDER MY CAR STRIKING IT WITH A HAMMER, THIS OCCURS AT TAKE OFF, SHIFTING GEARS AND COMING TO A STOP (STILL DOWN SHIFTING), I ALSO FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VERY ROUGH FOR A NEW CAR, IT JUST REALLY ALWAYS FELT LIKE MY MOTOR WAS ABOUT TO DROP ON THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR CAME OUT TO ME AND SAID THAT THE MECHANIC SAID HE COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO REPEAT IT SO IT SHOULD BE FINE. AS I DROVE AWAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I WAS HEATED AND CALLED THE DEALER WHEN I GOT HOME, THEY MADE ME ANOTHER APPT. AND THIS REPEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, NEVER BEING REPAIRED. NOW AFTER HITTING 100K MY CAR IS GREAT EXCEPT FOR THIS DARN CLUNKING, SO I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE, ENGINE MOUNTS BROKEN, MAINLY PASSENGER SIDE. SO I ORDERED PARTS AND HAD THEM ALL REPLACED AND SURE ENOUGH, I AM AMAZED I DIDN'T LOOSE MY MOTOR THE PASSENGER ONE WAS ALMOST LIKE NOTHING WAS THERE, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PART THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND KNOWN ISSUES, WHY HAS THIS NOT BECOME A RECALL? *JS

I BOUGHT A 2005 ALTIMA 2.5 S BRAND NEW AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND KEPT IN PERFECT CONDITION. MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE STARTED TO OXIDIZE HORRIBLY BUT ONLY ON THE INSIDE, THIS SEEMS LIKE A POORLY MADE PRODUCT, IF AFTER ONLY ABOUT 5 YEARS MY HEADLIGHTS START FAILING TO PERFORM WITH NO WARRANTY? *JS

HAD MY NISSAN IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE FLOOR BOARDS WERE ROTTED OUT. THERE IS NOT ANOTHER SPEC OF RUST ON THIS CAR. THANK GOODNESS FOR CARPET AND FLOOR MATS AS THAT IS ALL THAT IS BETWEEN ME AND THE ROAD. CALLED NISSAN TO REPORT ISSUE/ASK FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD NO. THEY STATED THAT MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN FOR SERVICE AND IS OLD THEREFORE THEY WOULD NOT BE OFFERING ME ANY ASSISTANCE. EXPLAINED THAT MY B/F IS A MECHANIC AND HAS BEEN THE ONE MAINTAINING THIS CAR AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THEM WITH ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS, BUT NISSAN DIDN'T CARE. CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS OLD THEY WOULD NOT BE OFFERING ASSISTANCE. I LET HIM KNOW THROUGH MY RESEARCH THAT PEOPLE WERE HAVING LUCK GETTING NISSAN TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND HE SAID HE WOULDN'T CONFIRM THAT WHICH IS WHEN HE POINTED OUT MY SERVICE RECORDS AT A CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I ASKED HIM IF THAT IS WHY NISSAN WOULDN'T COVER THE REPAIRS - B/C I HADN'T GIVEN NISSAN ALL MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS - THERE WAS SILENCE ON THE OTHER END. FOR A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY THEY SURE NEED TO WORK ON THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TAKING CARE OF THEIR CURRENT CUSTOMERS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA'S. I AM THE 17TH PERSON IS THE PAST 2 MONTHS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL/YR OF CAR ON THIS SITE ALONE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON OTHER SITES. I SEE A PATTERN HERE!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONCE.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING UNDERNEATH MY CAR. I HAD ASSUMED IT WAS A BRANCH OR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE. I ASKED A COUPLE OF CO-WORKERS IF THEY WOULDN'T MIND CHECKING IT OUT FOR ME. BOTH TOLD ME IT WAS A PIECE OF METAL HANGING BELOW THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS PUT ON A LIFT TO BE INSPECTED. I ALSO LOOKED AT THE CAR ALONG WITH THE SHOP'S OWNER AND OTHER MECHANIC. THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH TO THE INTERIOR, A HOLE LARGE ENOUGH TO PUT ONE'S FOOT THROUGH IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE CARPETING. THE REST OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE WAS EXAMINED THEN THE BODY. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SIGN OF RUST ON THIS VEHICLE WHATSOEVER. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS MODEL FOR THE EXACT SAME TYPE SITUATION. *TR

MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA ON MAY 21, 2014. SHE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE IN WHICH SHE RECEIVED BACK, LEG AND KNEE INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS HIT HARD ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IN WHICH THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN CLEARLY IT SHOULD HAVE BY THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT AND THE SPEED OF THE OTHER DRIVER. TO ADD, MY DAUGHTER WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT AND THANK GOD THERE WERE NO FATALITIES. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE FOR AIRBAG ISSUES. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT IF SO. IN DOING RESEARCH I AM FINDING OUT ABOUT THE AIRBAG ISSUES AFFECTING PAST AND CURRENT NISSAN MODELS. THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SHOULD DEPLOY WHEN THE RESTRAINT CONTROLLER DETECTS A MODERATE TO SEVERE FRONTAL COLLISION. IN MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT SOME AIRBAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY BECAUSE AUTO MANUFACTURERS ATTEMPTS TO CUT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR AIRBAG SYSTEMS, WHICH IN TURN REDUCES THE QUALITY OR THE QUANTITY OF THE AIRBAG SENSORS. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I AM OUT A CAR AND STRONGLY CONSIDERING RETAINING AN ATTORNEY TO HANDLE THE CASE. *TR

FLOOR PAN IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT THIS CAR IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD, I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP... THIS COMPANY CHOOSES PROFIT OVER CUSTOMERS THAT IS WHY THEY MOVED ALL THEIR OFFICES TO INDIA FOR CHEAP LABOR... * DO NOT BUY NISSAN* GO HONDA!!! *TR

ROUGH IDLE. 3 YEARS AGO IT DID THE SAME THING AND I HAD THE 0'2 SENSORS REPLACED AND THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR REPLACED. I DRIVE IT IN TOWN SO IN THE 3 YEARS I HAVE PUT ABOUT 25,000 MILES ON IT. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON NOW AND NISSAN TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND PAY THEM TO CHECK OUT THE ENGINE AND SEND NISSAN THE RESULTS AND THEY "MAY" REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF CHECKING IT OUT. I JUST REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS LAST WEEK BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THEM NEEDED REPLACED. IT RAN FINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW BACK TO SAME THINGS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT LEAKS A LITTLE OIL, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A NICKEL OVER THE COURSE OF 2-3 DAYS. THERE IS ALSO OIL ROUND THE CRANKCASE. WONDERING WHY MIGHT BE. THANKS *TR

PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS ARE ROTTING THROUGH, REST OF MY ALTIMA IS RUST FREE....WHY??...I SEE THIS HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2005/NISSAN/ALTIMA/STRUCTURE/PROBLEM.ASPX. *TR

VEHICLE DIED WHILE COASTING DOWN THE SIDE STREET. ONCE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO OFF. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD CRACK, BUT WOULD NOT START.

TOOK THE CAR TO REPAIR SHOP FOR O/C AND WAS TOLD I HAD SLIGHT RUST UNDERNEATH PASSENGER DOOR. WAS TOLD IT SHOULD BE ALRIGHT FOR ANOTHER INSPECTION. WHEN I WENT FOR INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T INSPECT IT BECAUSE THE RUST HAD GOTTEN SO BAD IN THAT SAME AREA. I PAID CLOSE TO $500. FOR REPAIR AND WAS ALSO TOLD BY OTHERS THAT IT WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THAT YEAR CAR AND THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND HAS BEEN SINCE CHANGED.CAR HAS NEVER BEEN RUN IN THE SALT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS WATER GETTING UP INSIDE THE ARE MENTIONED BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN FLAW AND SITTING THERE TO CAUSE THE RUST. WAS REALLY UPSET ABOUT THIS CONSIDERING THE CAR IS IN FANTASTIC SHAPE .. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD HELP FOR THE REPAIRS... I ALSO WAS TOLD I BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE THE 10 GRACE PERIOD FROM REGISTRATION TO INSPECTION , SO I DID IT IMMEDIATELY. *TR

ON AUGUST 18, 2014, AFTER DROPPING MY SON OFF AT SCHOOL. I CAME TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, I STARTED TO TAKE OFF AND NOTICED THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN. I EVENTUALLY MADE IT HOME WITH THE CAR GOING A VERY LOW SPEED AND THEN SPEED UP, BUT WHEN CAR TO A START THE ENGINE STALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT ON A COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT THE DIAGNOSIS WERE AND IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR COSTING $80 DOLLARS FOR TWO AND $70 FOR ANOTHER, HOWEVER THESE ITEMS HAS BEEN CHANGED ALONG WITH A TUNE UP AND THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE COMPUTER, I NOTICED THERE WERE RECALLS ON THE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS AND THE ECM. I CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER, AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT SHOWING SO THE PROBLEM HAD TO BEEN DONE, BECAUSE I'M THE SECOND OWNER. IT'S FUNNY HOW THIS PROBLEM COMES ABOUT AFTER 4 1/2 YEARS OF HAVING THIS VEHICLE AND THE RECALL SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF WITH THE FIRST OWNER. THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE AND IT'S FRUSTRATING. THERE IS ALSO RUSTING OF THE FLOOR UNDER THE CAR, YOU CAN SEE THE FLOOR COMING DOWN FROM UNDER THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AT THE COST OF THE DEALERS AND NOT THE OWNERS. THIS IS DANGEROUS, YOU CAN BE DRIVING AT A SPEED AND THE CAR JUST STOP, WHICH CAN CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. *TR

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. MY FATHER TOOK HIS CAR INTO BE INSPECTED AND THEY WILL NOT PASS IT BECAUSE OF THE FLOOR BOARDS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, THERE ARE MILLIONS OF DISSATISFIED NISSAN OWNERS WHO ARE BATTLING THIS VERY PROBLEM. NOW, IF MY FATHER CANNOT GET HIS CAR TO PASS INSPECTION, HE CANNOT USE IT. SO FAR, NISSAN HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP WITH HIS ISSUE. MY FATHER HAS CALLED COUNTLESS REPAIR AND BODY SHOPS AND NO ONE WILL REPAIR ANY RUST. NOT EVEN THE DEALERSHIP. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS NOTHING MORE THAN RUDE AND INSENSITIVE BUT DID TELL MY DAD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND REPAIR QUESTIONS ABOUT RUSTING FLOOR BOARDS. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE CALL NISSAN CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS WITH THE SAME "SORRY" RESPONSE. NISSAN IS LOOKING AT A VERY LARGE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH I WILL PURSUE TO THE FULLEST BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF RESPECT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FOR THEIR CRAFTMANSHIP, LACK OF CONCERN, LACK OF SOLUTIONS. I HOPE I AM JOINED BY ANYONE ELSE WHO IS BATTLING THIS PROBLEM, LEAVE YOUR COMPLAINT HERE, AND HOPEFULLY SOME HELP WILL BE COMING SOON! *TR

MY CAR FAILED MA INSPECTION BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR PAN IS RUSTED OUT. THE HOLE IS APPROXIMATELY 12 BY 10 INCHES. I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. NISSAN CLAIMS IT IS CAUSED BY SALT IN THE NORTH EAST, BUT IF THAT WAS TRUE, THE ENTIRE FLOOR PAN WOULD HAVE RUST, NOT JUST ISOLATED TO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. LET ME REPEAT, THE REST OF THE FLOOR PAN IS FLAWLESS, NO SIGNS OF RUST WHATSOEVER. CLEARLY THIS IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW. SOME CUSTOMERS HAVE BOTH FRONT SIDES RUSTED OUT. MY PASSENGER SIDE IS FINE AS THE ASSEMBLY LINE "HOLE" HAS BEEN PROPERLY FILLED IN. I HAVE TO ASSUME THE DRIVER SIDE WAS LEFT OPEN. THERE ARE MANY PICTURES ON THE WEB SHOWING EARLIER PHASES OF THIS PROBLEM SHOWING THAT THE RUST STARTED AT THE ASSEMBLY LINE HOLE. BASICALLY, THIS SMALL HOLE (1 INCH DIAMETER) ALLOWS WATER INTO THE INTERIOR. THE NOISE DAMPENING MATERIAL AND CARPET SOAK IT UP. THE WETNESS GOES UNDETECTED BY THE DRIVER BECAUSE THE FLOOR MAT HAS RUBBER BACKING, THEREBY SHOWING NO SIGNS OF WETNESS. AS WITH ANY PERPETUAL METAL WETNESS PROBLEM, RUST EVENTUALLY BECOMES A MAJOR PROBLEM. PLEASE MAKE NISSAN TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

THIS CAR HAS VERY LITTLE MILAGE ONLY 25000 MILES (42000KM) AND THE PASSANGER FLOOR BOARD IS ROTTED OUT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS WEAKENS THE BODY INTEGRITY OF THE CAR. THE REST OF THE CAR HAS NOT RUST WHAT SO EVER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FAULT IN THE CAR AS THIER ARE QUITE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON FLOOR BOARDS ROTTEING OUT ON NISSAN ALTIMA 2002 TO 2006. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD ADMIT TO HAVING DESIGN PROBLEMS FOR HAVING FLOOR BOARDS ROTTING OUT PREMATURELY. *TR
