My 2006 nissan altima failed the yearly massachusetts inspection. The passenger side floorboard was rusted and needed to be repaired to pass inspection. In speaking with the mechanic, this is a known issue for altimas. I wanted to add my complaint to the 100s of others who have had to repair this vehicle defect without any warning or help from nissan. Thank goodness for an alert mechanic!

The floor boards are rusting out on our car. You can see the carpet padding from the bottom of the car. This is extremely unsafe. This is occurring on the passenger side as well. We always maintain our vehicles and this situation is very alarming to us.

The passenger side floorboard is completely rusted through. The area is approximately 5in by 12in and it seems that it us due to improper drainage from the manufacturing process. Sound dampening material is applied above a drain hole not allowing water to drain out. Now i have concern with the structural integrity of the vehicle since the body is part of the frame. ...updated 09/28/15 *bf updated 10/31/2017*cn

While driving ~25 mph i was slowing down to a red traffic light and my car spontaneously shut off in traffic! I was able to put my car in park and restart the car. A few days later, it took 3 attempts before my engine started. After a diagnostic, the car displayed codes p0335 (crankshaft position sensor) and p0725 (engine speed circuit signal sensor). After doing much research i found hundreds of complaints online…

While pulling to a stop light, the car engine shut off without warning. I put the car in park, turned off & attempted to restart the car. It wouldn't immediately start. This happens spontaneously in drive-thrus, stoplights and when coming to complete or near complete stops in traffic as well. Most recently i was exiting the interstate exit and the car stopped as a slowed to turn left off the exit, almost resulting…

Crankshift sensor failure causes car to jerk and then shut down without any notice an warning. Several 100s of people have the same issue and 2006 models had recalls but special editions were not included. It is so unsafe and various people have gotten close to horrible accidents due to it. Something should be done!

While driving my 2006 altima on 6/8/15 for a few minutes after starting it when it had been parked for more than 12 hours, the car stalled. It restarted and i continued to drive.

Then the next day, the car stalled again after the car had been sitting only a few hours and "threw a code" , i.e. The "service engine soon" light came on. Today, 6/13/15, it occurred…

The floor boards on both the driver and passenger have rooted out almost completely on my 2006 nissan altima. I have noticed this a about a year ago and it has got increasingly worse since. I can push the carpet up from under the vehicle and feel very unsafe. I am careful not to put weight on the floors while entering the vehicle for fear i am going to put my foot through the floor. This is a very common issue due…

Nissan is fully aware that many of their makes for several years have transmission issues that are directly related to them, and not the customer. There is (was??) a class action lawsuit against them that met my issues to a t. The transmission began hesitating when going from reverse to drive, and then jerking very hard into gear. Now it rough shifts between gears, and when driving if i slow down and begin to…

I took my vehicle in for an oil change and the garage informed me that the floor board on the driver side was rusted out so bad that you could touch the carpet from the bottom. Also the passenger side was rusted with a hole but not as big as the driver side. I am not sure why nissan has not issued a recall for this being there are hundreds of complaints for this. This problem is a safety issue considering it will…

The last time this happened, i was driving the car at 25 miles per hour and the car completely shut down. I had to pull over the car in the middle of traffic and restart the car. It almost caused an accident. When we took the car into the nissan dealership, our 2006 altima was not…

The floor board on the drivers side is rusted out. About the size of 12"x12".i have checked on line and this seems to be a problem with 2002-2006 nissan altima. This is a unsafe issue. Why has nissan not corrected this problem?this was a issue years ago with cars. The metal must be of very poor quality.
