STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE . TECH BROUGHT ME BACK TO SHOW ME THE DRIVERS FLOORBOARD WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT SAFETY HAZARDS I CAN THINK OF WITH THIS ISSUE. 1.I DO NOT FEEL LIKE HAVING MY FOOT GO THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD AND LOOSING CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO MY FOOT BEING STUCK I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BRAKE. 2. THE FUMES AND VAPORS CAN ENTER THE VEHICLE THEREFORE INDUCING AN ASTHMA ATTACK FROM MY TWO YEAR OLD SON WHO HAS SEVERE ASTHMA. 3. IF THE RUST CONTINUES IT MAY COME TO A POINT WHERE THE EXHAUST PIPE CAN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE CARPET INITIATING A FIRE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. SINCE THIS TIME, THE CAR HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 25 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO PULL OVER THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND RESTART THE CAR. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, OUR 2006 ALTIMA WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR ARE MISALIGNED AND IT IS HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT AND IN THE FOG. EVEN AFTER CLEANING THE HEADLIGHTS, IT IS HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES, ESPECIALLY IN BAD WEATHER THAT I HAVE HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO SEE. THIS IS A PROBLEM LIVING IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THERE ARE ANIMALS CONSTANTLY CROSSING ROADS. OUR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL AND IT SHOULD BE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
REPORTED TO NISSAN IN EARLY SEPT 2014. CASE NUMBER [XXX]. FOUND WHILE I WAS DOING A BRAKE JOB WHERE CAR WAS ELEVATED WITH CAR JACK AND I NOTICED THE UNDERCOATING OF THE CAR "BUBBLING" DOWNWARD AND STARTED KNOCKING THE LOOSE MATERIAL DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD SECTION APPROXIMATELY 8" X 12" COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH WHERE THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FLOOR MAT WAS VISIBLE. PASSENGER SIDE WAS OK. SEEMS WATER CAN WORK INTO SOME UNDER-CAR SEAMS, GET TRAPPED, LAY, AND BEGIN TO RUST OVER TIME. DESPITE ARGUMENT THAT A RUSTED THROUGH FLOORBOARD CONSTITUTES A SAFETY ISSUE, NISSAN DECLINED TO PARTICIPATE IN $480 REPAIR CITING RUST WARRANTY LIMITED TO 5 YEARS, 60,000 MILES. IT WAS NOTED THAT LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WAS WELL FAMILIAR WITH THE REPAIR (THEIR QUOTE $637.81). REPAIR DOWN AT AN INFINITI CAR DEALER BODY SHOP FOR $480.03. FOUND APPROXIMATELY HALF OF BODY SHOPS CONTACTED RESPECTFULLY DECLINED TO QUOTE A "RUST" ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *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 CAN DO. THEY DON'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE FLOOR OF THE CAR IS EXPOSED TO THE GROUND. THE CAR HAS SPENT THE MAJORITY OF ITS LIFE IN A GARAGE SO IT MUST BE FROM DRIVING THAT THEY PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ENTERING HIGHWAY I WENT TO SHIFT MY 06 ALTIMA 5 SPEED INTO 5TH GEAR WHEN I PRESSED THE CLUTCH PEDAL THERE WAS NO PRESSURE AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO INTO 5TH GEAR. I LET UP ON THE PEDAL AND IN A FEW SECONDS THE PEDAL HAD PRESSURE AGAIN. ENTER HIGHWAY AND DROVE FOR ABOUT 25 MILES AND EXITED HIGHWAY. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN NO PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL THEN PRESSURE. I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. I HAVE READ SOME FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEAMS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE SAY THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND SLAVE CYLINDER AND THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. OTHER PEOPLE RECOMMEND USING A DOT 5 BRAKE FLUID WITH A HIGHER BOILING POINT.NOT SURE WHAT DIRECTION TO HEAD IN. AS A LIFE LONG MECHANIC FOR DEALERSHIPS IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE FLUID IS BOILING OUT AND CAUSING AIR POCKETS IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, THEN BLEEDING IT SELF OUT. IT WAS ONLY 77 DEGREES THIS DAY SO EXTREME TEMPS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE PROBLEM.... *TR
