2006 nissan altima with rotted and rusted out front floorboards. $1000.00 to rebuild and another $100.00 for the dealer to reset the airbags. Why is this not being recalled? It is a safety issue!! Those driving an altima model years 2002-2008 take a look at the underside of your vehicle asap....updated 12/02/15 *bf

My complaints i have with this car. My first is the floor board is staying soaked with water and molding, which is not good for people with allergies to mold as in this case, and the rusted floorboard problem. The second is with the oxygen sensor and catalytic converters. *tr

I have a 2006 nissan altima that i took in for any inspection and the floor board on both the drive and passenger sides are rusting through to the point you can see carpet underneath. Looking around on the internet it became very obvious that i'm not the only one with this problem and a very big safety concern if the floor is just rusting out. I called nissan and they basically told me too bad there is nothing they…

While my mechanic was checking my brakes and other things he noticed that the floor under the driver side and passenger side are fully rusted. When i got the call this morning i immediately went online to search for this. It seems like this is an ongoing issue and there is no recall for this (which im not surprise). I have spoken to a body shop since i work for an insurance company and they said this has been a…

There is no specific incident, but last summer (august 2014) i had new tires put on and the mechanic noticed that my floor board was beginning to rust out. I now know, through recent news, that it is not just my car, but most nissan altima models. I actually complained to them about it last summer and of course they did nothing. This should be a recall if mechanics and professionals are noticing that something is…

After a series of hard rains and wet driving conditions, i noticed a wet, musty smell in the cabin interior. After inspecting all door and window seals without finding any leaks, i inspected underneath the car and noticed that the floorpan area beneath both the driver and passenger seats were rusting through with open holes in both areas. This immediately struck me as a defect as the vehicle is otherwise rust-free.…

I am writing a complaint about rusted floor pans that seems to be a common problem amongst a lot of other "06" nissan altima owners. I found out about this issue after i recently had my oil changed and an employee at the body shop pointed out how bad my floor pans looked. There are literally huge holes in the flooring and if the carpet were ripped out, i would be able to see through them. In addition, i was told…

The floorboards of the driver side have rusted through. This is a common complaint posted about numerous times online, with no response from nissan. It seems that altimas from atleast 2003-2006 were effected. No recall has been placed that i have found, although many, many complaints and discussions about manufacturing defect. *tr

Upon taking the car to the dealer for an oil change, the dealer informed me that the floorboards under the driver and front passenger seats are eaten away by rust and each side will cost $1000 to repair by welding a plate to it. It is so severe that the car will not pass inspection and be rejected for safety reasons, according to the dealer...*js

So after my husband replaced a faulty brake caliper on the left rear of my altima he proceeded to rotate the tires. It was then he discovered my driver side floor pan completely rusted out. We had been noticing a "wet car" smell on occasion, but i would never have imagined this. I am so disgusted. To beat it all, nissan won't rectify this?? That's bull@$#t. I had a 1995 altima that i drove for over a decade with…

My fiance put my 2006 nissan altima on a lift as a routine inspection and oil change only to find out that the driver's side and passenger side floor boards have rusted through. As well as my oil pan, flex connector between catalytic converter and muffler. My car is regularly maintained and this is unacceptable for a car that is only 7 years old. I then researched to see if this is an issue with other nissan owners…

My car is experiencing rust under the driver's side floor board. A quick internet search reveals that this is a known issue for nissan altimas, however nissan refuses to cover the car since it is outside the 5-year warranty. My car even has the undercoat protection, but has a hole in the floor board roughly the size of a softball. This should not occur on a car that is only 6 years old. I am the original owner of…
