Took car in for oil change at an independent shop. Technician noticed that floor pans were rusted on both driver and passenger sides.

The floor boards on my car are rusted through. I have had it estimated at multiple auto body shops and they knew before seeing the car that it was a nissan. I did lots of online research and it is a common problem and defect with the nissans. I also saw that after filing this complaint with nhtsa, that some customers had this problem repaired by nissan at no cost. This is a widespread safety issue and nissan should…

I took my car in to get an oil change. While my car was on the lift we noticed a huge rust spot under the passenger side. They were able to easily put a screwdriver inside the hole and it lifted my carpet. And what i don't understand is that one month earlier my car was in the shop putting on new tierods and bushings, and there was no rust at all. So in one month the undercoating was gone and a huge rust hole…

I have recently discovered the driver and passenger side floor boards are severely rusted through to the bottom of the carpet! This is a serious safety hazard with potential for injury from stepping through and possible death from exhaust fumes causing unconsciousness while driving. There is absolutely no rust anywhere else on the car?! To my knowledge there are numerous consumer complaints about this very problem…
