2006 Nissan Altima complaints

DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR RUSTING OUT~YOU CAN SEE UNDERNEATH THE CAR THRU THE GAS LATCH AREA. I JUST NOTICED IT WHEN I GOT IN AND THE FLOOR FELT FLEXIBLE, WHEN I LOOKED, THE FLOOR'S GONE NEAR THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S AREA.

WAS LEAVING STORE AND WHEN PULLED OUT ONTO ROAD, I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH! LEFT THE SCENE AND THEN WAS TAKEN BY PRIVATE VEHICLE TO LOCAL EMERGENCY ROOM AND FROM THERE, AIRLIFTED WITH BRAIN INJURY! WAS ALMOST ACROSS THE ROAD AND VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND STALLED AND CAUSED A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME GOT ME IN PASSENGER REAR AS HE WAS TRAVELING UP HIGHWAY AND THREW ME AND WENT AIR BORNE AND KNOCKED A TELEPHONE POLE IN HALF AND DONE DAMAGE TO FRONT AS WELL. AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEFLATE AT ALL. I AM MAKING ATTEMPT TO MAKE NISSAN AWARE AND OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE RIGHT. I HAVE RESEARCHED WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS AND RECALLS ARE EFFECTIVE WHILE I'M GOING TO STATE UNKNOWN TO CAUSE, AS THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS ON FORUM AS TO WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS. TAKATA RECALL FOR AIR BAGS BUT UNKNOWN ON OTHER. ...UPDATED 07/11/17 *BF *JS

MY CAR BRIEFLY STALLS WHEN I DRIVE HIGHWAY IN EVERYDAY. MECHANICS SAID IT IS CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE. I CHANGED IT WITH MY EXPENSE IN 2013 BUT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN. WHEN I CALL NISSAN, IT SAID MY CAR IS NOT UNDER RECALL.

FLOORBOARDS RUSTED THROUGH.04/15/2017. FOUND THIS OUT WHEN CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE.

EXTREME OIL CONSUMPTION AND WEAK COOLING FANS. WORSE WHEN THE ENGINE IS IN A PULL/ACCELERATING.

A LOCAL AUTO SHOP HAS REPLACED THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR TWICE BUT THE SAME OBDII CODE APPEARED AGAIN. THE CAR WILL CRANK BUT NOT START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THIS PROBLEM (WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH A RECALL BUT NOT FOR OUR VIN) IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, POSSIBLY CAUSING CRASHES. THE NISSAN DEALER HAS CLAIMED THAT THERE IS NO REPAIR NOR RECALL THEY CAN DO. I SUSPECT THAT NISSAN IS FAILING TO REPORT THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM WHICH HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED IN OWNER INTEREST GROUPS ON THE INTERNET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLED AND SHUT OFF. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED AT 951-225-1309 AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO ANSWER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,595.

CODES P0335 AND P0725

NISSAN ALTIMA 2006 VERY BAD RUST UNDERNEATH THE CAR ON THE DRIVER POSITION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I FOUND OUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN TAKING THIS CAR TO REGULAR OIL CHANGE.

ROTTED FLOOR BOARDS UNDER DRIVERS SEAT AND PASSENGER SEAT. VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION ON APRIL 18, 2017. VEHICLE HAD JUST 101K MILES.

THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT FROM THE INSIDE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR.

THE CAR BEGAN STALLING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. THERE WAS ALSO A BURNT SMELL COMING FROM ENGINE . CAR HAS REGULAR CHECK UPS.

CAR CUTS OFF AT LOW SPEED.PROBLEM IS INCLUDED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 FOR YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. DEALERS TELL ME THAT MYVIN # IS NOT INCLUDED.IF THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL ARE INCLUDED WHY NOT MY CAR? /THIS IS DANGEROUS.

I HAVE 88,000 MILES ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA AT 30,000 MILES I CHANGED MY FIRST SET OF ROTORS, FOR A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES AND HERE WE GO AGAIN. I HAVE ALSO CHANGED THE PADS COUNTLESS TIMES. I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE.

TAKADA RECALL YES I GOT LOOKING UNDER MY CAR AN NOTICE THAT THE FLOOR BOARD IS RUSTING REAL BAD AN WILL HAVE A BIG WHOLE THREW IT REAL SOON AT WHICH IS NOT SAFE.

I PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM PYRAMID MOTORS. THE SECOND WEEK I GOT IT I WAS HEADED TO WORK AND THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE CAME COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED PYRAMID AND SINCE I HAD A 30 DAY WARRANTY THEY AGREED TO FIX IT THEY TOOK IT TO WEST MEMPHIS THIE TOW TRUCK GUY SAID OH IT NOTHING THE AXLE JUST SLIPPED OUT WE'LL FIX IT AND IT WILL BE READY THE NEXT MORNING. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DY AND SAID IT WAS READY. I WENT AND PICKED IT UP. A WEEK OR TWO LATER THE CRANKING SYSTEM STARTED ACTING UP AND THE SAME AXLE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LIGHT START COMING OFF AND ON. I CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS SUPPOSSED TO BE FIX WAS MESSING UP AGAIN. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS WAS A PART THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS STILL IN EFFECT SO I INFORMED THEM THAT I LOOKED THE CAR UP ON THE NATIONAL RECALL LIST AND THAT SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I WAS HAVING WS ON THAT LIST. I THEN INFORMED THEM THAT I WOULD NOT MAKE A PAYMENT UNTIL THEY AGREEDVTO FIX WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED WHEN I HAD MY WARRANTY. I ALSO INFORMED THEM THAT I HAD CHECKED THE MAKE MODEL OF CAR ON THE NATIONAL RECALL LIST AND THAT IT WAS ON THERE AND THAT I SAW IT AGAIN ON THE NEWS RECENTLY AND THAT IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW TO SALE RECALL CARS THE LADY NAME JENNIFER SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 937 TO RETREIVE MY CEHICLE THEN GO ACROSS THE STREET TO THE OFFICE AND TALK TO A GUY NAMED BRIAN. I ASKED WH

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR CLOSE 65 MILES THERE IS LIKE A SMALL CUT OF OF POWER THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON , I PUT THE OBD SCANNER AND FOUND THAT THE EMC, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE NEEDS REPROGRAMED, AND THE CPS CRANSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY... I READ THAT SOME NISSAN WHERE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT DEALER DO NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY SAID IS NOT UNDER RECALL.I READ THAT THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR CAN TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING.

CAR BURNING 3 QUARTS OF OIL WEEKLY, RESULTED IN CATALYTIC CONVERTER CODE, REPLACE CONVERTER, STILL BURNING ACCESSIVE OIL WITH SMOKE BELLOWING FROM TAIL PIPE. HAVE SEEN PREVIOUS RECALLS WHILE SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION FOR THE SAME MAKE OF MY CAR. BOUGHT USED AFRAID THE ENGINE IS GOING TO BLOW.

MY CAR CUT OFF BYSELF AND IT TAKE LONG TIME CRANK UP.

ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE RUST PROBLEM ON THE FRONT FLOORBOARDS. I HAVE A 16" BY 8" HOLE ON MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD THAT I PUT MY FOOT INSIDE WHEN I WAS GETTING INSIDE MY CAR AND SLIGHTLY INJURED MY FOOT. THE ONLY THING HOLDING THIS HOLE IS THE CARPET THAT IS COVERING THE RUSTED OUT FLOOR PANEL. THIS IS A SUPER BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ON ALL NISSAN VEHICLES BEFORE ANY OTHER INJURIES OR COMPLAINTS TAKE PLACE. NISSAN WANTED TO CHARGE ME A $125 DIAGNOSIS FEE FOR SOMETHING YOU CAN PHYSICALLY SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS IN A AN ACCIDENT AS A PASSENGER, WE STRUCK A TREE HEAD ON AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY I WAS PARTIALLY EJECTED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND SUFFERED LIFE THREATENING INJURIES AS RESULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 07V-527 SUMMARY THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN OVERHEAT CAUSING A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR.

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS EXCESSIVE AND PREMATURE RUST ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR PAN. THERE ARE NO OTHER INDICATIONS OF RUST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, OR ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE UNDER-BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTED SHOWING SYMPTOMS IN ~2011 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS CONTINUED TO WORSEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

THE FLOOR PANEL UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS RUSTED OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED.

EXTREME RUST OF FLOORBOARDS. ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE, A 12"X24" AREA OF THE FLOORS ARE COMPLETELY GONE, WITH ONLY THE VEHICLE CARPET REMAINING. THIS IS MAJOR, WIDESPREAD SAFETY HAZARD ACROSS THE NISSAN PRODUCT LINE IN EARLY 2000S MODEL YEAR VEHICLES AND HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED ONLINE, IN PRINT, AND ON TV. IT'S A TRAVESTY THAT NHTSA HAS FAILED TO GIVE THIS ISSUE THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES AND FORCE NISSAN TO DO THE RIGHT THING IN ISSUING A RECALL. SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL ON THE ROAD! THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON OUR VEHICLE; CLEARLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN FLAW. WE NOTICED THE RUST FOR THE FIRST TIME SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WHEN WE WERE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE.

MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA'S ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK MALFUNCTIONED AND MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM. WE HAD TO CALL TRIPLE A TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AFTER WAITING FOR 2 HOURS IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN THE YEARS LEADING UP TO WHEN IT OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WE THEN PAID $1191.50 TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND ENDED UP MISSING A DAY OF WORK. IN FURTHER READING, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS A PERIOD OF TIME WHERE OWNERS COULD HAVE THIS FIXED. NEITHER THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM OR THE DEALER THAT SERVICES THE CAR INFORMED ME OF THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SENSORS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. UPDATED 05/05/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED THE REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. UPDATED 10/12/2017*JS

THE VEHICLE THREW A CODE FOR THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR HAD THAT REPLACED THEN THE VEHICLE THREW A CODE FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. MIDAS REPLACED TWO OF THEM STILL COULD NOT CLEAR THE CODE. THE VEHICLE WILL START IN DRIVE BUT IT WILL SPUTTER WHILE STOPPED LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET STARTED AGAIN.

I WAS LEAVING A NAIL SALON PARKING LOT AND A TRUCK RAMMED INTO THE FRONT OF MY CAR POLICE WERE CALLED I GOT HIT PRETTY GOOD NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED I HIT MY FAVE ON THE WHEEL ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM IN ACCIDENTS

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ENGINE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR AND IN EXTREME CASES RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE. I HAVE TO REPLACED ENGINE AND I STILL HAVING ISSUES SPED OVER $5000 IN REPAIRS. *TR

RUST FLOOR, HOLES.

EXTREME RUST AND CORROSION OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR PANEL AND FRAME. RUSTED AREA IS ABOUT 3' X 1'. RUST HAS EXPOSED THE INSULATION UNDER THE CARPET; THERE IS NO METAL REMAINING IN A 4" X 6" AREA. METAL AROUND THIS IS VERY THIN. I AM CONCERNED THAT TOO MUCH PRESSURE FROM MY FOOT WILL CAUSE LARGER AREA TO COLLAPSE. ESTIMATE TO REPAIR AT A BODY SHOP IS ABOUT $1,400. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS LONGER THAN THIS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A FRAME OR UNDERSIDE RUST LIKE THIS. IT IS SURELY A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE IF MY FEET GO THROUGH THE HOLE OR A PIECE OF ROAD DEBRIS PENETRATES THE CARPET.

DELAYED ACCELERATION AT FIRST BUT NOW HAS TROUBLE GETTING IN THIRD AND WILL NOT GO INTO FOURTH. CAR SHAKES AND MAKES LOUD NOISES WITH ANY ACCELERATION. RIDES ROUGH AND BURNS OIL. PROBLEM STARTED IN MOTION CROSSING A LARGE BRIDGE.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FOR SOME 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S. MY CAR HAS CONTINUALLY NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS LIST BUT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS EQUIPMENT. 2 YEARS AGO I REPLACED THAT SENSOR AND RESET THE CRANKSHAFT POS AND REPROGRAMED THE ECM. NOW AGAIN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS THE SAME SENSOR THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND YET I AM STILL NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS DEFECT. I AM SURE THAT OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. MY CAR ALSO CONSUMES OIL AT AN IRREGULAR PACE, WHICH IS ANOTHER RECALL, YET MY CAR IS NOT ON THAT RECALL EITHER.

IT HAS RECENTLY COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE FLOOR PANS OF MY CAR HAVE RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT WHERE MY FOOT COULD GO THROUGH THE FLOOR PAN. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO GET A SAFETY INSPECTION IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, MY CAR HAS FAILED INSPECTION AND CANNOT PASS UNTIL THESE HAZARDOUS HOLES ARE FIXED ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OF THIS ISSUE. AGAIN, THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE AMONG NISSAN ALTIMAS, SPECIFICALLY THE YEARS 2002-2006. I AM NOW REQUIRED TO PAY AT LEAST $500 TO REPAIR AN ISSUE THAT IS OUT OF MY CONTROL. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I CAN STOP RUST FROM OCCURRING. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE DRIVEN BECAUSE EXHAUST FUMES CAN ENTER THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS A FOOT GOING THROUGH THE HOLES. IT IS UNETHICAL OF NISSAN TO ALLOW THESE VEHICLES TO STILL BE DRIVEN KNOWING THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND VEERING LEFT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

I HAVE AN 6" WIDE X 15" LONG HOLE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. (IN THE FLOOR BOARD) MY FRIEND ALMOST PUT HER FOOT THROUGH IT. I AM A WIDOW AND THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED IT WHEN DOING AN OIL CHANGE. TRADE IN VALUE BAD AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. DEALER SENT ME TO NISSAN AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE #, BUT QUESTIONING WHY THERE WASN'T A RECALL.

THE FLOORBOARDS ARE RUSTED OUT BELOW THE FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER FEET. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I'LL HAVE TWO LARGE HOLES. SURFACE RUST OR WHEEL ARCH RUST IS ONE THING, BUT STRUCTURAL ROTTING FOR A CAR THAT'S 10 YEARS OLD IS EXCESSIVE.

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS STARTED TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION SLIP. IT JERKS VERY HARD WHEN ACCELERATING. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE WHEELS WAS POINTED INWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS CRACKED, CORRODED, AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V046000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE FLOOR BOARDS UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS ARE PREMATURELY ROTTING. EACH SIDE HAS A HUGE HOLE APPROXIMATELY 5 INCHES ACROSS AND 8-12 INCHES LONG AND THE HOLES CONTINUES TO ENLARGE. THIS PARTICULAR COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE BY HUNDREDS OF TIMES BY OTHERS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES! DATE LISTED BELOW IS WHEN I FIRST DISCOVERED IT AFTER A MECHANIC BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION WHILE THE CAR WAS UP ON A LIFT.

DURING A RECENT OIL CHANGE, MY MECHANIC BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE FRONT SEAT FLOOR BOARDS WERE RUSTING ON BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE RUSTING AREAS LOOK ALMOST IDENTICAL. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2002-2006 NISSAN ALTIMAS. THERE APPARENTLY HAVE BEEN A FEW CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED AND SEVERAL TELEVISION REPORTS ON THE MATTER. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN; HOWEVER, THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT A DEFECT. I DISCUSSED WITH A NEIGHBOR RECENTLY WHO ALSO OWNS A NISSAN ALTIMA BUILT IN THAT TIMEFRAME AND FOUND OUT THAT HE TOO RECENTLY DISCOVERED THE RUSTING FLOOR BOARD ISSUE. NISSAN TOLD ME THAT I LIVED IN A SALT STATE AND DID NOT KNOW HOW I MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE; HOWEVER, GIVEN THE HUNDREDS AND PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FILED, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE DUE TO OWNER NEGLIGENCE. MY HOPE WAS THAT MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS CAR ONCE SHE GETS HER LICENSE, BUT NOW I'M FACED WITH SPENDING THOUSANDS TO EITHER FIX THE ISSUE (WHICH MAY NOT BE FIXABLE GIVEN THAT RUST AREAS GROW) OR TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A HOLE THROUGH MY FLOOR BOARD AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO ME, ESPECIALLY IF MY DAUGHTER IS BEHIND THE WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE UNDER HIS FEET AND NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD WAS RUSTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

BOTH FLOOR PANELS RUSTED OUT. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. COST MORE TO FIX THAN WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. I STILL OWE $4000 ON THE CAR AND IT'S NOW WORTH NOTHING. NISSAN DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

THE MOTOR STARTED MAKING NOISE A WEEK OR SO AGO. THE TIMING CHAIN HAS BECOME LOOSE DUE TO FAULTY PARTS INSTALLED MY NISSAN. THE GUIDES FOR THE CHAIN BREAK WHICH CAUSES THE TENSIONERS TO FAIL AND THEN THE CHAIN GETS LOOSE AND BOUNCES AROUND THE HOUSING. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND TRIED TO HIDE IT AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FORCED TO REPAIR THEIR FAULTY WORK.

"TAKATA RECALL" AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: WHILE DRIVING, IT SHUTTERS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR (APROX 20 MPH). SOUNDS AND FEELS AWFUL! PARKED IT, AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE FLOOR RUSTED THROUGH, MAKING A BIG HOLE APPROXIMATELY 9IN WIDE BY 22IN LONG. ALSO ENGINE SHAKES WHILE STARTING VEHICLE AND SITTING IN IDLE IN BOTH GEAR AND NEUTRAL.

CRANKSHAFT SENSOR IS BAD CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL AT ANY TIME - EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL AS ON AN INTERSTATE CAUSING THE CAR TO BE DIFFICULT TO STEER TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND COMPUTER SAYS THAT ITS THE CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT SENSOR THAT NEEDS REPLACING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. PRIOR TO TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THE VEHICLE WAS REMEDIED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000(ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.
