I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. I CURRENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT A LOCAL GARAGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTED WITH HOLES STARTING TO FORM. MY CAR ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES AND IS KEPT IN THE GARAGE AND WASHED OFTEN. THIS IS THE ONLY SPOT ON MY CAR THAT I HAVE ANY RUST. I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE ALTIMAS. I HAD JUST HAD A STICKER PUT ON BY NISSAN AND ALSO A 72 POINT INSPECTION AND WAS NEVER INFORMED BY THEM THAT THERE WAS HOLES UNDERNEATH MY CAR! NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD GO HALF ON THE COST OF REPAIRING BOTH FRONT FLOORBOARDS WHICH WOULD COST ME $400.00 WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. MY MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS ISSUE IS COME WINTER TIME, I WILL HAVE HOLES THROUGH MY FLOORBOARDS AND WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR, I AM EXTREMELY CONSERNED ABOUT HAVING TOXIC FUMES ENTER INTO MY CAR WHICH COULD LEAD TO PASSING OUT OR THE FACT THAT MY FOOT COULD GO RIGHT THROUGH THE FLOOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE BACKING UP THEIR PRODUCTS AS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THEIR METAL. *TR

(1) I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SEATBELTS IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY 2011 NISSAN TITAN. THEY TIGHTEN UP ON THE OCCUPANTS AND I HAVE TO STOP MY TRUCK IN ORDER TO RELEASE THEM, BUT THEN THEY TIGHTEN UP AGAIN. A SWITCH FOR ADULTS OR CHILDREN MAY FIX THE PROBLEM. (2) AS WELL, THE FRONT FLOOR MATS THAT WERE INSTALLED AT THE DEALER MALFUNCTIONED. THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT HAD ONE HOLE FOR RESTRAINT AND IT SHOULD HAVE HAD TWO HOLES. THE FLOOR MAT CAUGHT UP IN THE ACCELERATOR AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 50 KPH AND THE ENGINE REVVED WIDE OPEN. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT IT OFF. THAT LEFT ME WITH NO POWER STEERING AND I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE REPLACED THE FRONT FLOOR MATS AND THE PROBEM IS SOLVED. OWNERS OF THE NISSAN TITANS SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPER FLOOR MATS ARE INSTALLED IN THEIR TRUCKS PRIOR TO DRIVING THEM. (3) THESE TRUCKS SHOULD NOT BE DELIVERED WITH A P TIRE ON THEM. AT THE VERY LEAST THEY SHOULD HAVE AN LT TIRE. I HAVE HAD THREE FLAT TIRES ON MY TRUCK IN 5 MONTHS AND IT IS NOT USED ON CONSTRUCTION SITES AT ALL. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN ONLY 35,000 MILES AND BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED AND WERE LEAKING EXHAUST GASES THAT COULD NOT BE FED INTO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS..DEALER REPLACED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY SINCE EXHAUST MANIFOLD/CATALYTIC CONVERTER ARE A SOLID 1 PIECE UNIT. THEY REPLACED WITH IDENTICAL DEFECTIVE PIECES THAT I AM POSITIVE WILL CRACK LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONES..PLEASE CHECK ONLINE TITAN FORUMS AND YOU WILL SEE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALMOST EVERY TITAN..MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY "AUTOMATICALLY CHECK EVERY TITAN" FOR THIS ISSUE..I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE IT IS SO COMMON AND NOT FROM DRIVER ERROR/ABUSE, AND ONCE ANY TITAN IS OUT OF THE 8 YEAR/80000 MILE COVERAGE IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TOTALING OVER 2,000 DOLLARS! MOST TITAN OWNERS REPORT A TICKING SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD ESPECIALLY UNDER COLD START UP-I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS ON MINE SO I HAD NO IDEA MINE WERE CRACKED THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO INSPECT AS MANY TITANS AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS EMISSIONS ISSUE. *TR

HOW CAN A MAJOR CAR COMPANY BUILD A VEHICLE THAT HAS SO MANY RUST PROBLEMS. MY 1998 PATHFINDER HAS SO MANY RUST PROBLEMS. THE COMPANY HAS HAD RECALL ON THE FRONT STRUT HOUSING, FILLER GAS TUBE. WHY CAN'T THE COMPANY STAND UP AND TAKE CARE OF ALL THE RUST PROBLEMS. EVER 1998 PATHFINDER HAS RUST ISSUES FENDERS REAR QUARTER PANELS . IF YOU PAID $1000,00 FOR FACTORY RUNNING BOARDS THEY ALL HAVE RUSTED OFF. WHY IS IT THAT THE OWNERS HAVE TO ACCEPT THE PROBLEM WITH ALL THESE RUST ISSUES? THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN I WILL EVER OWN. OH DID I ALSO TELL YOU THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED, REAR END MAKES NOISE,THE DISTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED FILLER TUBE, NOW THE STRUT TOWER IS RUSTING. IS THIS EVEN A SAFE VEHICLE TO OPERATE ON THE ROAD? *KB

MY QUEST WAS PURCHASED 12/06. SINCE THEN THE ODOMETER HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THE BRAKE DISC HAVE MALFUNCTIONED TWICE, EVEN AFTER NISSAN REPLACED THEM. THE RESPONSE FROM NISSAN WAS "HOTSPOTS HAPPEN NORMALLY IN DISCBRAKES". THE MOTOR MOUNTS WENT BAD AFTER 2.5 YEARS. NOW I AM FACED, AFTER A LITTLE MORE THAN 4 YEARS WITH "POWER STEERING PUMP" REPLACEMENT AND "RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 XTERRA WITH 42K. I FILLED IT AT THE GAS STATION AND NOTICED RIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE STATION THAT THE GAUGE STILL SAID A QUARTER OF A TANK. SO I PULLED OVER AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED IT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS ON. AS I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE GAUGE SLOWLY STARTED RISING TO THE FULL MARK. MY CAR DIDN'T PASS STATE REGISTRATION WITH THE SES ON. *KB

A ROAD OBJECT WHICH WENT UNDER THE CAR NOT OVER ANY TIRE STRUCK THE GAS TANK AND PUNCTURED. THE INSTALLED RECALLED ADDED TANK PROTECTOR DID NOT KEEP THE TANK FROM BEING STRUCK AND CAUSING A LEAK. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AT THE MAKERS DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ANY RECOURSE FROM THE PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE RECALL ADDED DEVICE DID NOT PERFORM AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL ?NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000 *TR
