2005 Nissan Altima

I STARTED LEASING MY ALTIMA IN 2008 AND PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 4 YEARS LATER. I TOOK IT TO HAVE MY MUFFLER CHECKED, BECAUSE I HEARD NOISE, AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FLOORBOARD ON THE FRONT , PASSENGER SIDE, IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THE ONLY THING BETWEEN MY PASSENGERS AND THE STREET IS THE CARPET. NISSAN SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. THE CAR IS ONLY 11 YEARS OLD!

SORRY FOR MY BELATED COMPLAINT. I JUST LEARNED OF YOUR WEBSITE. EARLY EVENING AUG 18, 2016 ENTIRE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA COMPLETELY BLEW OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. FORTUNATELY -- NOBODY WAS SITTING IN BACK SEAT(S) OF MY CAR - NO ADULTS & NO CHILDREN !! WHAT A BIG MESS !! A CLEAR & NORMAL SUMMER EVENING - NO SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO EVEN PROVOKE A CRAZY & SUDDEN INCIDENT LIKE THIS. LUCKILY -- I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY. I WAS ON A QUIET SUBURBAN ROAD WITH RELATIVELY LOW TRAFFIC. I WAS AT STOP LIGHT & SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND -- ALMOST LIKE A GUN SHOT. I CHECKED MY REAR VIEW MIRROR & MY ENTIRE CAR REAR WINDOW WAS BLOWN OUT WITH VERY LARGE HOLES & TINY SHATTERED GLASS PIECES STREWN ALL OVER INSIDE BACK SEAT AREA OF MY CAR. SOME SHATTERED GLASS EVEN BLEW OUT ALL WAY TO FRONT SECTION WHERE I WAS SEATED !! I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE ROAD & PULLED OVER INTO NEARBY WALGREENS PARKING LOT & CALLED LOCAL POLICE. POLICEMAN CAME & EXAMINED MY CAR. HE DID NOT FEEL ANY FOUL PLAY WAS INVOLVED NOR ANY GUNSHOT NOR BASEBALL THROWN INTO MY REAR CAR WINDOW. I TOOK 24 PHOTOS ? SEE 5 UPLOADED. HE HELPED ME GATHER MOST OF BROKEN & SHATTERED GLASS INTO A PLASTIC BAG. WE NOTED A FEW PIECES HAD DARK BROWN BURN MARKS ON THEM. HE SAID MOST LIKELY IT INDICATED A "SHORT" OCCURRED IN REAR DEFROSTER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HE COULD NOT PREPARE POLICE REPORT BCUZ IT DID NOT INVOLVE ANY FOUL PLAY. NEXT DAY I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS (NCA). THEY ASKED ME TO EMAIL MY 24 PHOTOS TO NCA & ONLY AGREED TO PAY TO REPLACE REAR CAR WINDOW. I TOLD NCA IT WAS PROBABLY A SHORT IN REAR DEFROSTER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ? A SERIOUS NISSAN SAFETY ISSUE & DEFECT. FOR ME ? A SCARY INCIDENT !! I SAVED ALL SHATTERED GLASS PIECES WITH DARK BROWN BURN MARKS, BUT NCA DID NOT WANT THEM. UNFORTUNATELY -- I CAN ONLY UPLOAD 5 PHOTOS. IF YOU WANT TO VIEW ALL 24 PHOTOS - CALL OR TEXT MY CELL [XXX].

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS MAJOR RUSTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS FOUND AFTER THE CARPET ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR STARTED FALLING THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD. THIS ISSUE ALMOST HAD MY WIFE'S FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR, WITHOUT HER KNOWING. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED (VIA RESEARCH AND REPORTS ON THE NEWS) TO BOTH NISSAN AND NHTSA AND BOTH STATE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT AND YOU COULD PUT YOUR FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR?

THE FLOORBOARDS ON MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE CORRODING AND RUSTING OUT. YOU CAN TOUCH THE FLOOR CARPER FROM THE BOTTOM! THIS IS HAPPENING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR MAKE/MODEL AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. I AM NOT SURE BUT THE REPAIR COSTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK.
