2005 Nissan Altima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR WERE BOTH REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

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 TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS GARAGED AND REGULARLY WASHED. *TR

BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR STATE INSPECTION TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE FLOOR BOARDS WERE TOO SOFT TO PASS INSPECTION. INSPECTED THE VEHICLE MORE CLOSELY MYSELF AND NOTICED THE FLOOR BOARDS HAD BEEN ROTTING. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 85K ON IT. HEARD THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH A LOT OF NISSAN ALTIMAS AND FELT I SHOULD REPORT THIS SINCE NISSAN HAS DONE LITTLE OR NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD SINCE I'M NOT ONE OF THE FLINTSTONES. *TR

OWNER OF 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. TWO WEEKS AGO MECHANIC HAD UP ON RACK FOR OIL CHANGE. BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION SIGNIFICANT RUSTING OF BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANS. I CALLED NISSAN AND FILED A CLAIM, BUT VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHILE THEY WERE SORRY TO HEAR I WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE I TALKED TO SAID HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF POSTS ON NHTSB WEBSITE AND OTHER BLOGS. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT LEADS TO A SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND THIS REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE NISSAN ALTIMA 2005. I TOOK MY CAR TO GET INSPECTED AND IT FAILED DUE TO RUST AND ROTTING UNDER THE CAR. NISSAN, DOES NOT REPAIR THIS. IN DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OF INDIVIDUALS ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MODELS FROM 02 - 06. ALL OF JAPANESE CARS WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAD MY CAR FROM 05 BRAND NEW, I'M THE ONLY OWNER WITH NO ACCIDENTS. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL ON ALL CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT. THEY CHARGE YOU ALL THIS MONEY FOR CARS, THEY KNOW SOON WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY DON'T PROTECT THE CAR WITH THE UNDER COATING. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON NISSAN!!! *TR
