2005 Nissan Altima complaints

TRANSMISSION ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS. IT HESITATES WHILE ACCELERATING AND THEN STOPS OR JERKS.

NISSAN USED PARTS IN THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM WHICH PREMATURELY FAIL AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR AFTER WARRANTY. THE ISSUE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DISCOVERED UNTIL IT HAD ALREADY FAILED AND IN THIS CASE, IS NOT A REPAIR THE OWNER CAN PERFORM ON THEIR OWN. CERTAIN MECHANICS HAVE EVEN CHOSE NOT TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR AND THE ONES WHICH ARE ABLE TO, CHARGE IN THE $2000+ RANGE. WHEN CONTACTING NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAD SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. ONCE THE TIMING IS EFFECTED, THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN SEEM TO HAVE DROPPED IN PERFORMANCE IN WHICH I HAVE VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AND CANNOT READY SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH. THERE IS NO WAY I WAS ABLE TO EVEN CHECK IF THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM HAD SIGNS OF GOING BAD, AND IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS FAULTY SYSTEM CREATES AN UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE MACHINE WHICH NISSAN SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

IN 2008, MY CAR STATED HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS FOR THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2005 ALTIMAS BUT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE CAMSHAFT WAS REPLACE. LAST WEEK MY CAR TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I FORWARDED AN E-MAIL TO NISSAN ASKING WHAT WAS THE PARAMETERS OF THE RECALL AS THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM. THEY RESPONDED THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND TO SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM MY LOCAL DEALER. I HAVE DEALT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST AND THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS SENOR CAN CAUSE MY CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I AM IN FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN ON A NYC HIGHWAY, IN A DESERTED OR HIGH CRIME AREA. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE THAT WOULD MAKE NISSAN PAY FOR THIS $400.00 PLUS REPAIR?

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA AND BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR BOARDS RUSTED THROUGH TOTALLY. WOULD NOT PASS PA. INSPECTION. PER MY MECHANIC RUSTED BECAUSE HOW NISSAN ROUTES THE DRAIN HOSE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER CAUSE THE PREMATURE/UNSAFE HOLES. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO RIDE IN THE CAR, TO WHERE INJURY WAS CERTAIN. TOOK TO AUTO BODY SHOP AND THEY ALSO SAID THE SAME CAUSE FOR THE RUSTED OUT FLOOR BOARDS. MY NISSAN ALTIMA WASN'T THE FIRST NISSAN ALTIMA THEY REPLACED THE FLOOR BOARDS. AGAIN THEY STATED VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THIS CAR! IT COST ME $528.94 FOR THIS REPAIR! I WANT REIMBURSED! I ONLY INCLUDED THE PASSENGER PICTURE OF FLOOR BOARD DUE TO SIZE ALLOWED TO DOWNLOAD. THE DRIVER SIDE JUST AS BAD!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I WAS DRIVING MYSELF AND CO WORKER HOME FROM WORK. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET MY CAR JUST STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT START. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, OUR LIVES WERE PUT AT RISK DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE CAM SHAFT POSITION CENSOR ON MY 2005 NISSIAN ALTIMA. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE AN UPDATE ON THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAMSHAFT POSITION CENSOR AND THE FUEL PUMP. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN INCOMPLETE RECALL THAT WAS PERFORMED ON THE CAMSHAFT CENSOR. *JS

A PERSON FROM MY JOB AT STERICYCLE BY THE NAME OF MICHAEL WYGEL WHO WORKS AS AN I.T. TECHNICIAN AT SHRED-IT/STERICYCLE LOCATED AT 81 WALSH ROAD IN PARSIPPANY NJ, KEEPS ILLEGALLY REMOTELY HACKING MY CAR. THE LIGHT COMES ON SAYING "TCS OFF" AND ANOTHER LIGHT COMES ON WITH IT STATING "SLIP." WHEN HE DOES THIS AND THESE LIGHTS COMES ON, THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE SAFELY AT ALL. THE CAR DOESN'T GO INTO GEAR EASILY AND IT SEEMS TO BE VERY ROUGH TO SWITCH GEARS. ALSO THE STEERING IS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN HE DOES THIS AS WELL AS THE DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE TOO. THIS LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM VERY TERRIFIED. HE HAS BEEN STALKING ME ONLINE FOR MONTHS SINCE I FOUND OUT THE I.T. DEPT PUT WEBCAMS IN THE COMPUTER STANDS AT MY JOB, AND SINCE HE HAS BEEN ELECTRONICALLY STALKING ME-WITH THIS ILLEGAL SICK REMOTE CAR HACKING BEING A PART OF HIS MALICIOUS BEHAVIOR TOWARDS ME IN HIS EFFORTS TO CLEARLY HARM ME. I AM IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND SAFETY. CAR HACKING AS YOU KNOW IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT WANT HIM TO DO THIS TO ME. HIS BLUE TOOTH # IS: 44:00:10:CE:21:AE AND HIS BLUETOOTH NAME IS: BRAVEN BRV-1 AND BRAVEN-BRV-X(?)

AIR BAG SIGNAL ON AND OFF DOES NOT FUNCTION IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR CHOCK.

DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS RUSTED THROUGH RESULTING IN: 1. INCREASED ROAD NOISE 2. AIR ENTERING VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 3. WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE, AND SOAKING THE CARPETING IN RAIN STORMS, ETC POSSIBLY CREATING MOLD 4. EASY ACCESS FOR RODENTS/VERMIN

REPORTING ROTTING FLOORBOARD ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. IT'S A POSSIBLE SAFETY CONCERN AS VAPORS COULD ENTER PASSENGER AREA. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND WOULD HOPE NISSAN AS A SELF PROCLAIMED TOP SAFETY PICK WOULD STAND BEHIND THIS ISSUE I BELIEVE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS FLOORBOARD ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE.

THE FLOOR BOARDS UNDER THE DRIVERS FEET ARE COMPLETELY ROTTED THROUGH. THE CARPET IS THE ONLY THING FROM KEEPING MY FEET FROM GOING THROUGH TO THE ROAD. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL OF CAR AND YET, NISSAN WILL NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AS A SIDE NOTE, MY CAR IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, OTHER THAN THE CONDITION OF THE FLOOR BOARDS.

CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS ARE FAULTY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ALTIMA'S. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWO TIMES ALREADY. STALLED ON HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 65MPH.

I STARTED LEASING MY ALTIMA IN 2008 AND PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 4 YEARS LATER. I TOOK IT TO HAVE MY MUFFLER CHECKED, BECAUSE I HEARD NOISE, AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FLOORBOARD ON THE FRONT , PASSENGER SIDE, IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THE ONLY THING BETWEEN MY PASSENGERS AND THE STREET IS THE CARPET. NISSAN SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. THE CAR IS ONLY 11 YEARS OLD!

SORRY FOR MY BELATED COMPLAINT. I JUST LEARNED OF YOUR WEBSITE. EARLY EVENING AUG 18, 2016 ENTIRE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA COMPLETELY BLEW OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. FORTUNATELY -- NOBODY WAS SITTING IN BACK SEAT(S) OF MY CAR - NO ADULTS & NO CHILDREN !! WHAT A BIG MESS !! A CLEAR & NORMAL SUMMER EVENING - NO SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO EVEN PROVOKE A CRAZY & SUDDEN INCIDENT LIKE THIS. LUCKILY -- I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY. I WAS ON A QUIET SUBURBAN ROAD WITH RELATIVELY LOW TRAFFIC. I WAS AT STOP LIGHT & SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND -- ALMOST LIKE A GUN SHOT. I CHECKED MY REAR VIEW MIRROR & MY ENTIRE CAR REAR WINDOW WAS BLOWN OUT WITH VERY LARGE HOLES & TINY SHATTERED GLASS PIECES STREWN ALL OVER INSIDE BACK SEAT AREA OF MY CAR. SOME SHATTERED GLASS EVEN BLEW OUT ALL WAY TO FRONT SECTION WHERE I WAS SEATED !! I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE ROAD & PULLED OVER INTO NEARBY WALGREENS PARKING LOT & CALLED LOCAL POLICE. POLICEMAN CAME & EXAMINED MY CAR. HE DID NOT FEEL ANY FOUL PLAY WAS INVOLVED NOR ANY GUNSHOT NOR BASEBALL THROWN INTO MY REAR CAR WINDOW. I TOOK 24 PHOTOS ? SEE 5 UPLOADED. HE HELPED ME GATHER MOST OF BROKEN & SHATTERED GLASS INTO A PLASTIC BAG. WE NOTED A FEW PIECES HAD DARK BROWN BURN MARKS ON THEM. HE SAID MOST LIKELY IT INDICATED A "SHORT" OCCURRED IN REAR DEFROSTER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HE COULD NOT PREPARE POLICE REPORT BCUZ IT DID NOT INVOLVE ANY FOUL PLAY. NEXT DAY I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS (NCA). THEY ASKED ME TO EMAIL MY 24 PHOTOS TO NCA & ONLY

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS MAJOR RUSTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS FOUND AFTER THE CARPET ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR STARTED FALLING THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD. THIS ISSUE ALMOST HAD MY WIFE'S FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR, WITHOUT HER KNOWING. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED (VIA RESEARCH AND REPORTS ON THE NEWS) TO BOTH NISSAN AND NHTSA AND BOTH STATE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT AND YOU COULD PUT YOUR FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR?

I HAVE SPENT OVER $2,000.00 IN REPAIRS DURING THE PAST MONTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO GEORGE HARTE NISSAN IN WEST HAVEN, CHARGED $711.00 PROBLEM NOT FIXED. CAR IS BURING OIL, HARD TO START AND THIS IS THE 2ND CATALOTOR CONVENTOR I PUT IN THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS EXTREMELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

THE FLOORBOARDS ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE CORRODING AND RUSTING OUT. YOU CAN TOUCH THE FLOOR CARPER FROM THE BOTTOM! THIS IS HAPPENING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR MAKE/MODEL AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. I AM NOT SURE BUT THE REPAIR COSTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK.

RUSTING FLOORBOARDS, FRONT, BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE

YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE THIS MODEL STALLING BECAUSE OF THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR THERE ARE 1000'S OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTACTED YOU ABOUT THIS! GO ONLINE! MY DAUGHTER ALMOST GOT KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS! THERE IS SOMETHING BAD WRONG HERE! EITHER AN ENTITY IS BEING PAID OFF OR THE NHTSB IS IGNORING THE ISSUE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR A [XXX] LIE IN YOUR RESPONSE, THE PROBLEM IS REAL! AND DANGEROUS! THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN TWO WEEKS. I CHANGED THE SENSOR AGAIN TODAY. I AM A EXTREMELY QUALIFIED TECH! NO HACK! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD RUSTED THROUGH.

THE CAR PICK UP TO SLOW AND THEN START PICKING UP LITTLE BY LITTLE

BROUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA TO MECHANIC FOR SERVICE. HE NOTICED BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS ROTTED OUT. EACH SIDE HAS A 6" - 8" WIDE X ~18" LONG RECTANGULAR HOLE IN THE FLOORBOARD UNDERNEATH THE CARPET. YOU ARE ABLE TO PUSH UP ON THE CARPET FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE ON BOTH SIDES. THE ONLY THING SEPARATING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER'S FEET FROM THE ROAD IN THESE AREAS IS THE CARPETING.

VEHICLE ENGINE STOPED WHILE APPROACHING TRAFFIC LIGHT.WAS A LITTLE LATE IN STARTING UP AGAIN.IT JUST DIED.WENT TO AUTOZONE,GAVE ME A CODE PO335,WHICH INDICATED A FAULT IN THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.CALL THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND ASKED FOR A ECM REPROGRAMING,WHICH IS COVERED ON RECALL RO606,NOTHING WAS DONE.PLEASE HELP.

WHEN I AM AT A LIGHT MY CAR JUST TURNS OFF

MY ALTIMA IS WELL MAINTAINED CAR BOUGHT ALL NEW FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP. STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA NEEDS STATE INSPECTION DONE EVERY YEAR AND THIS YEAR MY ALTIMA FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION. MEANING, MY CAR IS DEEMED NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE STREET BECAUSE OF NISSAN ALTIMA'S DESIGN FLAW MAKING FLOOR-BOARD BEHIND FRONT WHEELS GO RUSTED. I USE THE CAR TO COMMUTE EVERYDAY TO WORK, UNKNOWINGLY EXPOSING MYSELF TO UNFORESEEN DANGER. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THIS COMMON ISSUE HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER CONSUMERS BEFORE ANY LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT OCCUR TO THEIR SO CALLED "CUSTOMERS".

AN EXISTING RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE SHOULD INCLUDE THE 3.5L ENGINE AS WELL AS CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT AND TCM. ALL CAUSE SIMILAR LIFE-THREATENING SYMPTOMS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY POWERS COMPLETELY OFF BRIEFLY LOSING ALL POWER TO LIGHTS ETC, DECELERATE RAPIDLY AND YOU LOSE STEERING CONTROL AND SPEED CONTROL. VEHICLES COME UP ON YOU QUICKLY AT NIGHT AND EVEN IF YOU GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED YOU HAVE NO POWER IN TRANSMISSION AND MERELY LIMP ON AT AN IDLE SPEED. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. WHY IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL 2007 RECALL IS NISSAN TRYING TO SAVE A BUCK. THEY USED THE SAME MFG & SAME PARTS AS IN THE 2.5L. THEY KNOWINGLY WITHHELD IT FROM BEING INCLUDED. I ALSO CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE TCM. KEEP IN MIND THE WERE BITING THEIR NAILS AFTER BEING PRESENTED WITH A CLASS ACTION SUITE REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE TCM. LUCKILY FOR THEM IT WAS DISMISSED TEMPORARILY. BUT THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WHEN THEY RESPONDED TO ME AND NEVER OFFERED ANY RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE BRIEFLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING BEGINNING 2014, LIKE A HICK-UP, INTERRUPTION OF POWER. HOWEVER IT WOULD CONTINUE. NO REAL PROBLEMS AT FIRST. THEN, BEGAN TO COMPLETELY POWER OFF, DIFFICULT TO RESTART AND I'D LOSE AUTO TRANSMISSION FUNCTION AND HAVE TO MANUALLY SHIFT WHICH BUCKED EVERY GEAR. PARK IT FOR A WHILE, RESTART AND IT'D DRIVE JUST FINE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS WARM THEN IT'D POWER OFF...ALL OVER AGAIN.. MECHANIC STATED IT WAS THE TCM. REPLACED IT, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, SEEMED FINE. NOW IT'S STALLING AND SAME ISSUES WITH TRANNY. NOW PULLING A CAMSHAFT SENSOR CODE. UGH! I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2014 AND IT'S ONLY BEEN DRIVABLE FOR 3 MONTHS. THE BIGGEST PAIN IN MY [XXX]. SHOULD'VE BOUGHT A HORSE INSTEAD. NISSAN YOU MANUFACTURE [XXX]POOR PRODUCTS KNOWINGLY AND HIDE!!

TAKATA RECALL MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING.I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT ON A CITY STREET...

I BOUGHT THIS '05 ALTIMA ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I DON'T DRIVE AT NIGHT A LOT BUT WHEN I DID FOR THE 1ST TIME, I NOTICED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE IN THE TREES. I FOUND AN ADJUSTMENT SCREW ON BACK OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT WHEN I ADJUSTED IT, IT TURNED BOTH THE HI AND LOW BEAMS DOWN. WHEN THE LOW BEAMS CAME CLOSE TO LEVEL- THE HI BEAMS WERE NOW HITTING THE GROUND 15 FT IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I FOUND A RECALL # ON LINE FOR THIS VERY ISSUE DATING BACK TO BLOGS IN LATE 2004. IT'S # 07E087000. SUNNYVALE (CA) NISSAN TURNED ME AWAY THIS MORNING SAYING THAT BASED ON MY VIN- THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A HAZARD AS I HAVE LITTLE LIGHT ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT UNLESS I DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS ON. CAN YOU HELP? THANKS *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD HAS RUSTED THROUGH. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A LOCAL WELDING SHOP I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A "TYPICAL" ISSUE WITH OLDER NISSAN'S. THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON ABOUT 6 NISSAN'S IN MY AREA. I FEEL EVEN IF A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN CALLED, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED SOMEHOW OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AS THIS IS NOT JUST A RARE OCCURRENCE. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 107,000 MILES AND I AM BAFFLED HOW THE OTHER BODY AREAS SHOW NO SIGNS OF RUST WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE AREA OF FLOORBOARD. I AM NOT PROVIDING A PHOTO AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED NATIONALLY FOR SOME TIME NOW AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR ANYTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT. YOU CAN GOOGLE "NISSAN FLOORBOARD RUST" IF YOU NEED A VISUAL.

RUST THROUGH OF UNDERCARRIAGE UNDER PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEATS. WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL ON. THE RUST OCCURS FROM THE INSIDE OUT DUE TO INADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF WATER. FOUND OUT ABOUT IT JUST TODAY WHILE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE STATUTE EXPIRED TO RECEIVE THE REPAIR, AND REFUSED TO SCHEDULE A RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THE CONTACT WAS TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I PURCHASED A USED 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA - ONLY TO FIND MY PASSENGER FLOOR NEAR THE DOOR IS ROTTED/RUSTED OUT!! I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO SPEND THOUSANDS TO REPAIR THIS. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY POSTS ON THE MATTER BUT UNFORTUNATELY ONLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE FLOORBOARD ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS CORRODING THROUGH AND A HOLE WAS FORMING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 137,000.

I JUST NOTICED MY FLOORBOARD IS RUSTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS UNTIL MAYBE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN A PART OF THE RUG T J AT COVERS IT CAME APART AND WHEN I LOOKED THROUGH I CAN SEE THE GROUND.

WE NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING DOWN FROM UNDER PASSENGER SIDE AND FOUND THAT BOTH SIDES OF THE FLOORBOARD ARE COMEPLETELY RUSTED OUT WITH BIG HOLES IN THE FLOOR!! WE HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WE CALLED A BODY SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST OVER $2000 TO FIX. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL AND SAFETY ISSUE?? NISSAN DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS SAFETY?? WE WERE GONNA BUY ANOTHER NISSAN MAYBE A NISSAN ROGUE BUT IF THIS IS HOW THEY(NISSAN) TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWNERS THEN IM NOT SO SURE!! STEP UP NISSAN AND DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!

SAW SOMETHING HANGING DOWN UNDERNEATH DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. TOOK IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD BOTH FRONT FLOOR PANS RUSTED THROUGH AND CARPET SHOWING UNDERNEATH CAR.

THE FLOORBOARDS ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. YOU CAN SEE THE CARPET FROM THE UNDERBED ON BOTH SIDES (DRIVER AND PASSANGER). I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY BE A FLAW IN THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF MY CAR AND IT'S PRETTY COSTLY TO GET THIS REPAIRED & TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT REPAIRED. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ALTIMAS.

AS I WAS TURNING ON A MAIN ROAD, CAR WAS IN DRIVE, STARTED TO TURN RIGHT, GAVE LITTLE GAS, CAR DIED IMMEDIATELY. NO SPUTTERING, JUST STOPPED. THE PERSON BEHIND ALMOST HIT ME.
