ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

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.
