GOT 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S, RECENTLY CAME TO FIND OUT THAT MY CAR HAS A FEET SIZED RUST HOLES SHOWING FLOOR CARPET BENEATH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. THESE RUST HOLES AT THE BOTTOM OF CAR WERE NOT ONLY CAUSING SAFETY RISK FOR PEOPLE IN THE CAR BUT ALSO SENDS FUMES, CARBON MONOXIDE, FOUL SMELLS, HUMIDITY AND ROAD NOISE INTO THE CAR INTERIOR CAUSING HEALTH RISKS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AT QUALITY OF NISSAN'S AUTOMOTIVE AND NISSAN AUTHORIZED DEALERS WHO NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THIS DEFECT AFTER PERFORMING MULTI POINT INSPECTIONS, EVEN WHEN MY CAR WAS WITHIN EXTENDED WARRRANTY PERIOD. I REALLY HOPE TO GET JUSTIFICATION.

FLOOR RUSTING OUT ON FRONT DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE. BROKEN FRAME IN REAR. JUST BOUGHT CAR. UPON FIXING FLOOR ON DRIVER SIDE, DISCOVERED LARGER HOLE ON PASSENGER SIDE. THOUGHT ISSUE IN BACK WAS SUSPENSION, BUT BUT UPON INSPECTION BROKEN FRAME.

SAW SOMETHING HANGING FROM UNDER THE CAR. GOT ON MY KNEES TO SEE, AND FOUND A LOOSE PIECE OF METAL ABOUT 4 INCHES SQUARE. GOOGLED 2005 ALTIMA RUSTED FLOOR IBOARDS, AND FOUND OUT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHERS. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SAW RUSTED HOLE IN FLOORBOARDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM A PRIVATE OWNER. UPON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A HOLE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR. THE CONTACT CALLED LUTHER NISSAN OF INVER GROVE (1470 50TH ST E, INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN 55077, 952-479-4974) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 203,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THERE IS CORROSION AND RUSTING UNDERNEATH THE BODY OF THE CAR ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.

RUSTED FLOOR PANEL DRIVER SIDE SO FAR.

FLOORBOARDS/UNDERCARRIAGE OF VEHICLE UNDER FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS IS ROTTED/RUSTED AWAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE CARPET. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS ALL OF ITS YEARS AND NOW VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING PRACTICE. APPEARS OCCUPANTS OF THE FRONT SEATS COULD AT SOME POINT FALL THROUGH.

2005 ALTIMA 2.5SL, 150000 MILES. THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS SAGGING, SO I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND IT WAS GONE. THE FLOORBOARD HAD RUSTED ITSELF AWAY AND THE SEAT IS AT RISK OF FALLING OFF IN A CAR ACCIDENT. IT HAS RUSTED MORE THAN ANY CAR OF ITS AGE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND REALISED THIS NOT A YEAR AFTER.

UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH SIDES ARE RUSTING OUT. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ESPECIALLY BAD. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW BUT JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. ALSO THE PAINT ONT THE HOOD, TOP AND EXTERIOR REVIEW MIRRORS HAS FADED. OTHERWISE THE CAR SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. IT HAS 119,560 MILES ON IT AND I PLANNED ON USING IT FOR A WHILE LONGER. WE HAVE OWNED A TOTAL OF 5 NISSANS BEGINNING IN IN 1989 AND ALL HAVE BEEN GOOD VEHICLES. WE ARE CURRENTLY LEASING A ROGUE. I AM HOPING THAT NISSAN WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN OWNER FOR MANY YEARS I'M NOT PAST CHANGING BRANDS, AND WILL WHEN THIS LEASE IS UP IF THEY CAN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE FLOOR BOARDS AT THE VERY LEAST. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD CAUSE ISSUES IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. ONE IS EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAR, ANOTHER WOULD BE OBJECTS FROM THE ROAD FLYING UP THROUGH THE FLOOR AND INJURING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER.

THE FLOOR PANEL ON THE FRONT, DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE GOT RUST AND GROWING A HOLE.

THERE IS A HOLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR PAN FROM THE RUST. THIS WAS NOT KNOW UNTIL MECHANIC SHOWED ME.

UPON INSPECTION PRIOR TO TRYING TO PRIVATELY SELL MY CAR, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FLOORBOARDS WERE RUSTING OUT AND THERE ARE ACTUAL HOLE ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR. APPARENTLY, UPON ME GOOGLING, THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE (RATHER THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR) FOR NISSANS BETWEEN 2002-2006. TO FIX THE CAR WILL COST ME MORE THAN IT IS WORTH. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HOLES IN THE FLOORBOARDS ARE ALSO A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

HOLE ON PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO RUST/CORROSION

FLOOR BOARDS DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS COMPLETELY RUSTED THREW. THE REST OF THE CAR HAS NO RUST. HAS BEEN NOTED MANY TIMES IN 2002 TO 2006 ALTIMA'S EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THERE IS A HOLE THREW TO THE GROUND RIGHT UNDER YOU FEET WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5SL, PAID $25000 AND I ALSO BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE,ALWAYS SERVICED BY NISSAN DEALER,I DO HAVE ALL THE RECORDS OF DEALER VISIT .NO BODY MENTIONED ME UP TO NOW THAT THERE IS A HEAVY RUST UNDER DRIVER SIDE.I HAVE ONLY 83000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND ALWAYS KEPT IN GARAGE.I WENT TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY ARE ASKING $2500 TO FIX THIS ISSUE,I AM FEELING UNSAFE TO DRIVE, I DO SEE THAT EVERY ONE HAVE SAME ISSUE.THIS IS THE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUE, I NEED YOUR HELP FOR THIS RECALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.PASSENGER SIDE HAVE SAME ISSUE TOO. NOW I DO HAVE A BIG HOLE UNDER MY CARPET. MY WIFE DON'T. WANT TO DRIVE AND I AM ALSO SCARED TO DRIVE.

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!

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.
