Premature undercarriage rusting & rot under passenger & driver side of vehicle. Very common problem for 2002-2006 nissan altima's. Contacted nissan of america, was told it cannot be fixed because it is out of warranty. However, this is a problem that has affected many vehicles regardless of location. I cannot imagine this car being safe in a collision, seeing as the undercarriage is rotted out. *tr

No one mentioned any form of rust at the time. Dealer said there have been quite a few similar problems from 2002-2006, but they did not think it was important to check this out on last safety maintenance visit. I'm upset nissan is not…
