TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN UNRELATED REPAIR AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS RUST PRESENT ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR PANELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THEN TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED WITH SEVERE RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. UPDATED 7/21/15*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, AT NOT CHARGE. UPDATED 08/04/15*JB

THERE IS NO SPECIFIC INCIDENT, BUT LAST SUMMER (AUGUST 2014) I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT MY FLOOR BOARD WAS BEGINNING TO RUST OUT. I NOW KNOW, THROUGH RECENT NEWS, THAT IT IS NOT JUST MY CAR, BUT MOST NISSAN ALTIMA MODELS. I ACTUALLY COMPLAINED TO THEM ABOUT IT LAST SUMMER AND OF COURSE THEY DID NOTHING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IF MECHANICS AND PROFESSIONALS ARE NOTICING THAT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. I GET REGULAR CAR WASHES TO PREVENT RUST, AS I LIVE IN NORTHERN INDIANA AND SALT IS THE WAY WE FIGHT OUR SNOW PROBLEM. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR THE FLOOR BOARD TO RUST OUT. IF I WERE DRIVING AN OLDER CAR I WOULD EXPECT THIS. HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A 2006 MODEL CAR. *TR

AFTER HEARING OF OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVERS SIDE FRONT FLOOR BOARDS RUSTING OUT PREMATURE. I LOOKED AT THE FLOOR BOARDS ON MY ALTIMA ONLY TO FIND A LARGE HOLE RUSTED THROUGH THE DRIVERS FLOOR BOARD MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I FOUND OUT TODAY AT A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE THAT I HAVE SIGNIFICANT RUST DAMAGE TO THE FLOOR BOARD UNDER MY CAR. AT THIS TIME IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING IN REGARDS TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT THE FIRST LAYER HAS ERODED AWAY AND THE SECOND LAYER IS ALREADY RUSTED AND PEELING. IT IS UNKNOWN HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO ERODE THROUGH THE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. *TR

I CAN DRIVE AROUND TOWN OR WHERE EVER. I CAN STOP AT A PLACE, SHUT THE CAR DOWN, AND GET BACK IN IT AND IT ACTS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO CRANK. I HAVE TO KEEP TRYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO GET MY CAR TO START. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL AUTO ZONE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RAN ON IT AND IT CAME BACK WITH THE CRANK SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD THE CRANK SENSOR REPLACED AND THE COMPUTER RESET BUT I KEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I DRIVE AROUND AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. AFTER THE CAR GETS HOT THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO CRANK. NOW SINCE THEN MY CAR HAS PUT ANOTHER ERROR ON MY CAR FOR P7020 WITH IS THE SPEED SENSOR. I HAVE CONTACT NISSAN ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I SEEN THE SAME RECALL ON THE SAME CAR BUT THEY STATE THAT MY CAR ISNT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. MY THING IS HOW IS IT NOT WHEN ITS SAME EXACT THING GOING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

I NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST/HOLES FORMING UNDER MY 06 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 80K ON IT. IT'S ALL IN THE FLOOR BOARDS, DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. IN FIRST NOTICED IT BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 2014....A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I SAW THE NEWS TODAY ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I NOTICED. WE NEED A RECALL FOR SAFETY. CAUSE IT WILL BECOME ONE. I WILL SUE IF MY FOOT GOES THRU THE FLOOR. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDES RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. FROM UNDERNEATH, YOU COULD LITERALLY PUSH THE CARPET UP WITH YOUR FINGER - THERE WAS NO METAL THERE - ALL RUSTED! APPROXIMATE SIZE OF THE HOLE WAS 18" LONG BY 12-14" WIDE. SAME THING WITH THE OIL PAN WE HAD TO REPLACE. MY HUSBAND SAW THE RUST ON THE OIL PAN, PUSHED UP ON THE AREA OF RUST AND PUT HIS FINGER THROUGH. HAD TO REPLACE. I HAVE PICS OF THE RUSTED OUT FLOOR. OTHER THAN THIS, IT'S BEEN A NICE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, WE ARE STUCK WITH IT. CANNOT SELL THE VEHICLE TO ANYONE KNOWING IT COULD HURT SOMEONE AND WE WOULD HAVE TO DUMP A TON OF MONEY IN TO REPAIR. THE NADA VALUE IS FOR "CLEAN" IS $7,075. VALUE FOR "ROUGH" IS $3,100. A DIFFERENCE OF ALMOST $4000. I JUST PURCHASED A KIA... *TR

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR PANS HAVE ROTTED THROUGH FROM THE INSIDE OUT. *TR
