2005 Nissan Altima

FLOORBOARDS/UNDERCARRIAGE OF VEHICLE UNDER FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS IS ROTTED/RUSTED AWAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE CARPET. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS ALL OF ITS YEARS AND NOW VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING PRACTICE. APPEARS OCCUPANTS OF THE FRONT SEATS COULD AT SOME POINT FALL THROUGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM JOHNSON NISSAN (2200 SCOTTSVILLE RD, BOWLING GREEN, KY 42104, (270) 781-6770), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 230,000.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA BECAUSE OF OVER HEATING DUE TO A FAILING CRANKSHAT/CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH CAUSES CAR TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE VEHICLE TO CRASH. WELL MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT YET HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO SENSOR GETTING HOT AND CAUSING CAR TO STALL AND DECREASE SPEED DRAMATICALLY. AND WITH NISSAN NOT RECALLING MY VIN FOR THE SAME OBVIOUS REASONS FOR THE RECALL. SO I'M BEING FORCED TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE CAR THAT I'VE LET NISSAN KNOW IS DEFECTED, THUS ENDANGERING MYSELF AND THE PUBLIC. IT'S AS THOUGH I HAVE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEN HAVE TO SUE NISSAN BECAUSE OF NEGLET AND ALLOWING ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES CONTINUE TO OPERATE KNOWING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH ITS SAFETY. SO I MAY BE FORCED TO HAVE PROBLEM FIXED BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ALL THREE OF THE REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLES MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WEBBING FOR EACH OF THE REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLES BECAME UNDONE AND THE SEAT BELTS WERE UNABLE TO LATCH. BYERLY FORD (4041 DIXIE HIGHWAY, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY 40216) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT REPLACEMENT BUCKLES WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,047.

UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH SIDES ARE RUSTING OUT. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ESPECIALLY BAD. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW BUT JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. ALSO THE PAINT ONT THE HOOD, TOP AND EXTERIOR REVIEW MIRRORS HAS FADED. OTHERWISE THE CAR SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. IT HAS 119,560 MILES ON IT AND I PLANNED ON USING IT FOR A WHILE LONGER. WE HAVE OWNED A TOTAL OF 5 NISSANS BEGINNING IN IN 1989 AND ALL HAVE BEEN GOOD VEHICLES. WE ARE CURRENTLY LEASING A ROGUE. I AM HOPING THAT NISSAN WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN OWNER FOR MANY YEARS I'M NOT PAST CHANGING BRANDS, AND WILL WHEN THIS LEASE IS UP IF THEY CAN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE FLOOR BOARDS AT THE VERY LEAST. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD CAUSE ISSUES IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. ONE IS EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAR, ANOTHER WOULD BE OBJECTS FROM THE ROAD FLYING UP THROUGH THE FLOOR AND INJURING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER.
