PURCHASED A 2003 ALTIMA, 1 OWNER CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. AFTER HAVING CAR FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS NOTICED METAL RUSTED MATERIAL IN THE DRIVEWAY UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. INSPECTED AND FOUND A HOLE THE SIZE OF MY FIST GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH. ENDED UP REPLACING MOST ALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PAN DUE TO A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF NOT FOR THE CARPET THE PASSENGER COULD HAVE PLACED THEIR FOOT THROUGH THE AREA. HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS AT BODY SHOPS AND FOUND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ALTIMA FROM 2003-2006. NOT A CHEAP FIX EITHER.

EVERYTHING I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE/REPAIR ON THIS CAR IS LINKED TO RECALLS, BUT NISSAN IS DENYING THIS & REFUSING TO HELP. THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF ANY RECALLS BUT EVERYTHING THAT'S FAILING IS RELATED. IT HAS DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC W/ MY CHILD IN THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES. THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE & NO ONE FROM NISSAN IS CONCERNED!!!! BUTTERFLY SCREW/VALVE ISSUES, CAM/CRANK SHAFT ISSUES--RELATED TO ENGINE COOLING, HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION; ALTERNATOR FAILING; OIL LEAKING

NISSAN ALTIMA RECALL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AN MY 03 NISSAN DIED AN WOULD NOT START BACK IT DOESN'T TURN OVER. *TR

THE FLOOR BOARDS ROTTED OUT, JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, GIVE IT A FEW MORE MONTHS. I CAN BECOME FRED FLINTSTONE AND START PUSHING MY CAR AROUND WHEN THE CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT SENSOR GOES OUT AGAIN. BOTH SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND STILL HAD NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT THE CAR IN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR YOUR CAR. THAT'S INTERESTING WHEN YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE AND YOU ARE SITTING AT A LIGHT WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU. THAT'S WERE MEET THE FLINTSTONES COMES IN, USING FOOT POWER TO MOVE THE CAR.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING IT HARD TO STEER ALMOST CAUSING OTHER CARS TO REAR END ME. THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START. EVERY YEAR I HAVE HAD TO BUY A NEW CAM SHAFT SENSOR SINCE THE INSTALL OF THE NEW ENGINE THAT WAS PUT IN BY NISSAN. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CAM SENSOR BUT MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THAT RECALL. *TR
