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

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

I GOT A NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE FLOOR RUSTED OUT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE I CAN SEE FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR THE CARPET THATS NOT SAFE

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

MY ELDERLY PARENT JUST TOOK THEIR 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, GARAGE KEPT WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. I WAS SHOCKED WHEN THE TECHNICAL EXPLAINED THAT THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, SOON PAVEMENT UNDERNEATH THEIR FEET. THEY TOOK PICTURES TO PROVE THE DAMAGE AND SUBMIT TO NISSAN FOR REPAIR. APPARENTLY NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM, BUT DOESN'T WANT TO PAY TO FIX (ABOUT $1000) OR DO A [XXX] THING ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED! THIS IS A OUTRAGE!!!!!!! NISSAN KNOWINGLY BUILT THE PIECE OF [XXX] CAR, WITH CRAPPY, RUSTY METAL AND SOLD THE CARS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, BUT NOW WHAT'S TO BLAME THE CONSUMER FOR THE PROBLEM, WE DIDN'T BUILD THE CAR....NISSAN DID!!!!! THIS IS NOT ONLY ROAD A HAZARD, BUT A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THEY DRIVE A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY ABOUT TWICE A WEEK, DOING 60-70 MPH, SO RUSTY FLOOR BOARDS COULD DEFIANTLY IMPAIR THEIR ABILITY TO BRAKE SUDDENLY, CAUSING BODILY HARM TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER..WHOSE FAULT WOULD THAT BE? WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED BY NISSAN OR THE GOVERNMENT? WHY IS NISSAN ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS..THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR NISSAN PRODUCING [XXX] VEHICLES AND SELLING THEM TO AMERICAN PUBLIC.!!! WHY ISN'T NISSAN BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE, JUST LIKE GM!!!!!???? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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