2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

WHILE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT THE VEHICLE HIT AN OBSTRUCTION IN THE ROAD. THE AIR BAGS IMPACT SHATTERED THE ELBOW OF THE DRIVER. THE AIR BAG ALSO DAMAGED THE DRIVERS NOSE. THE DRIVER UNDERWENT SURGERY AND HAD METAL PLATES AND 75 SCREWS INSERTED INTO HER ARM TO CREATE A NEW ELBOW. AFTER SURGERY THE DRIVER HAD TO ATTEND PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR 6 MONTHS TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE NEW ELBOW. THE DRIVER IS ALSO NOW UNDERGOING A NEW SURGERY TO HAVE A DEVIATED SEPTUM REPAIRED CAUSED BY INJURY OF THE AIR BAG.

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

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION AND LEARNED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD WAS RUSTED ENTIRELY THROUGH. THE ONLY THING BETWEEN ME AND THE ROAD WAS THE FLOOR MAT. THE CAR DID NOT PASS INSPECTION AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC HE WAS SHOCKED AT WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. I TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP AND LIKEWISE HE COULDN'T BELIEVE FROM THE LOOK OF THE CAR (WHICH HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED) THAT IT WOULD BE RUSTED OUT LIKE IT IS. THAT LED ME TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON COMPLAINT AND THAT CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I WANT TO LODGE MY COMPLAINT AND ADD IT TO THE OTHERS WHO HAVE NOTIFIED YOU OF THIS SERIOUS SAFETY RISK POSED BY THIS DEFECT.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR OVERHEATED AND THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V257000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000. UPDATED 09/18/15*LJ UPDATED 3/23/2016*JS UPDATED 10/17/2017*CN

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

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

ON CRUISE CONTROL, TRAVELING IN A 50 MPH GOING 45 SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSON WENT INTO A HIGH PITCH THE ENGINE WENT TO NEARLY 6000 RPM, REVERSED THE CRUISE AND IT RESTORED, THE GEARS ON THE AUTO TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN MESSED UP EVER SINCE.
