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 TO A FLAWED DESIGN IN THE DRAIN SYSTEM. THE FLOORBOARDS HOLD WATER WHICH MAY ACCUMULATE THROUGH THE DOOR WHILE RAINING AND SALT AND WATER FROM THE UNDER SIDE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AND MAKE NISSAN FIX THESE VEHICLES THAT COULD STAY ON THE ROAD FOR MANY MORE YEARS. MY CAR HAS 109K MILES ON IT AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND RUNS VERY WELL. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO THIS JOB MYSELF OR PAY 1,000 TO GET IT FIXED.

WHEN MY PARENTS FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT WOULD BE SHAKING AT THAT TIME THE CAR HAD 52,000 MILES ON IT RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IT ON APRIL 10TH 2012 FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME THEY CHECKED IT AND THE CAR HAS 117,000 MILES NOW AND SOMETIMES THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHAKE AND VIBRATING WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT 55 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR SO I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL IT TO CHECK THE PROBLEM OUT. *TR

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN OVERHEAT CAUSING A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL FROM THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS SO BRIEF THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) LOGIC DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION, THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE ECM FREE OF CHARGE. CERTAIN MY 2006 ALTIMAS WHICH HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REMEDIED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN 06V223 (NISSAN R0606) ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL SINCE THE REPROGRAMMING FOR 06V223 ALSO INCLUDED THIS REPROGRAMMING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 31, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.5L ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AS A RESULT OF IMPROPER PERFORMANCE OF THE PISTON RINGS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE OIL IS NOT MAINTAINED AT LEAST AT THE MINIMUM LEVEL, ENGINE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR AND IN EXTREME CASES RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM OR ENGINE COMPUTER). YOUR VEHICLE WILL ALSO BE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF IT HAS BEEN CONSUMING ENGINE OIL AT A HIGHER THAN NORMAL RATE. IN A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF VEHICLES, ENGINE REPLACEMENT WILL BE NEEDED. ON JUNE 9, 2006, NISSAN NOTIFIED OWNERS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING THE OIL AT A PROPER LEVEL. FOLLOW-UP LETTER TO OWNERS ADVISING THEM OF THE STATUS OF THE RECALL WAS SENT DURING AUGUST 2006. FOLLOWUP LETTER TO OWNERS WAS SENT ON NOVEMBER 15, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE REAR SUBFRAME MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRACK IN A BRACKET WHICH HOLDS PART OF THE REAR SUSPENSION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE BRACKET IS CRACKED, THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE AFFECTED UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR SUBFRAME TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY AND REPLACE IT, IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
