2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

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

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

THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED IN TRAFFIC AND I COULDN'T GET IT TO START. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROAD. THE GAS GAUGE WAS READING THAT IT HAD OVER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. IT CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES OCCURRED IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT, SO I DID NOT CONTACT POLICE.

I WAS DRIVING ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH. THE CAR BUCKED, BUT KEPT GOING. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY A FEW MILES LATER AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WITH CRUISE CONTROL NOW OFF, I ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED AS NORMAL, AND THE CAR LAGGED IN POWER. I ALMOST GOT BROAD SIDED AS THE CAR DIDN'T GO AS NORMAL. I PULLED OUT WITH A RIGHT ON RED. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR.

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

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

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