I AM CONTACTING REGARDING MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA, I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD IS RUSTED RIGHT THROUGH AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE CARPET THROUGH THE HOLE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE THE NISSANS OF THIS AGE AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IS ANYTHING BEING DONE REGARDING THIS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING OUT EXACTLY THE COST OF THIS ISSUE BUT WANTED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT AND SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO OR IF THERE IS ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT NISSAN RECALLING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU

SAFETY-DEFECT. THERE IS A MAJOR NATIONWIDE PROBLEM WITH MANY DIFFERENT NISSAN MODEL VEHICLES FROM 2002-2006: THE CHASSIS UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT AND PEOPLE'S FEET ARE PUSHING THROUGH TO THE PAVEMENT. MANY NISSAN OWNERS HAVE ALREADY FILED COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA. SEE THE VIDEO REPORT DETAILING THE PROBLEM BY KSHB-TV IN KANSAS CITY: HTTP://WWW.KSHB.COM/NEWS/LOCAL-NEWS/INVESTIGATIONS/NISSAN-OWNERS-FEEL-ROAD-RAGE-EXPRESS-SAFETY-CONCERNS-OVER-RUST-PROBLEM-HIDING-BENEATH-THEIR-FEET I HAVE A 2005 GARAGE-KEPT NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 58,000 MILES THAT I BOUGHT NEW, AND APPLIED UNDERCARRIAGE RUSTPROOFING TREATMENT WITHIN DAYS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE. I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE CHASSIS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT IS RUSTING OUT AND THERE ARE HOLES IN THE VEHICLE. IF NISSAN OWNERS DON'T LOOK UNDER THEIR CAR AT THE CHASSIS, THEY MAY BE TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THE DEFECT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. SO FAR, NISSAN HAS NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION TO WARN THE PUBLIC OR RECALL THE VEHICLES. I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF CONSUMERS UNION (CU), PUBLISHER OF "CONSUMERS REPORT", FOR DECADES, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST WIDESPREAD VEHICLE DEFECTS I HAVE SEEN. I HAVE ALSO FILED A LENGTHY COMPLAINT WITH CU ABOUT THE DANGER. PLEASE NOTIFY THE PUBLIC OF THESE DEFECTS. *TR

HOLE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR APPROXIMATELY 2 FEET LONG BY 1 1/4 WIDE, NOTICED RUST IN OR AROUND SEPTEMBER 2009, NOT SURE WHEN IT REALLY STARTED TO RUST, TODAY 12/2/2014 I REMOVED PASSENGER SEAT PULLED BACK CARPET TO FIND A HOLE NO FLOOR WHATSOEVER. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS ON FORUMS ONLINE IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON ALL MAXIMAS AND ALTIMAS, NOT SURE WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. THANKS. *JS
