2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE RUST AND CORROSION UNDERNEATH THE SEATS IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT FLOOR PANS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,163.

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT IDLE - NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, OR ACCELERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SET WITH OBIDSII CODE OF PO725, FAILED CRANK ANGLE SENSOR. BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN 07V-527, AS IT IS A 2.5L 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY OF 2006. MANUFACTURER STATES NO RECALL IN EFFECT FOR THIS VEHICLE UNDER THAT CAMPAIGN, ALTHOUGH SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO CAMPAIGN RECALL ISSUE.CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, WHO STATED MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL, AS IT IS A RECALL FOR SPECIFIC LOCATIONS OF PRODUCTION, NOT JUST PRODUCTION DATES, WHICH WAS NOT REFERENCED IN THEIR DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT TO THE NHTSA. *TR

THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE GO OUT ABOUT ONCE A YEAR WITH NO WARNING. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THEY JUST START GRINDING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ABOUT 10 MANY TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY NISSAN ALTIMA VIN # INCLUDED SEPARATELY, HAS ABOUT 90,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS BOUGHT FEBRUARY 2007 AND HAS BEEN OWNED BY ME SINCE THEN (FIRST AND ONLY OWNER). I PERFORMED MY 90,000 MILE SERVICING TODAY AND WAS NOTIFIED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS ON PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE (UNDERCARRIAGE) ARE RUSTING AND I CAN SEE A HOLE OPENING UP THERE. HE SHOWED ME WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY CAR TO GET FIXED AT THE SHOP. THE REST OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE SEEMED FINE. THIS INDICATES A MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO ME. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE: MODERN VEHICLES OUGHT NOT TO ROT LIKE SO, AND SUCH A ROT EXPOSES THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER AT GREAT RISK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I AM GETTING EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE NOW OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS SERVED ME WELL, AND THE ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN HAS ITSELF BEEN TROUBLE FREE. HOWEVER, IF THE FLOOR BOARDS ROT LIKE THIS, I AM UNSURE ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S OVERALL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. *TR

TOOK MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WILL NOT PASS AS THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR PANEL IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE COST FOR REPAIR IS $2500 AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS KNOWN ISSUES BY NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR, THE VEHICLE YEAR IS 2006 WITH 85,000 MILES AND IS NOT EXPOSED TO SALT WATER AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A FLOOD. DEFECTIVE METAL, KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN AND NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR
