AFTER A ROUTINE SERVICE CALL FOR OIL CHANGE, ROTATE AND CHECK TIRES, ETC., I WAS ADVISED BY THE MECHANIC BOTH FLOOR BOARDS WERE IN NEED OF REPAIR. HIS ADVISE WAS TO DRIVE CAREFULLY AND NOT GO OVER BIG BUMPS. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IMMEDIATELY THE OWNER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HE THE OWNER HAD ALREADY FIXED AT LEAST 4 ALTIMAS SAME YEAR. HE SAID THE STEEL WAS THIN AND RUSTED QUICK. MY CAR WAS ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FLOORS. STEEL IS, IN FACT MADE MUCH BETTER AND VERY LITTLE RUST SHOWS ON CARS. MINE CAR HAS NO RUST (EXCEPT FLOOR BOARDS IN FRONT) IT HAS BEEN FIXED $500.

ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE RUST PROBLEM ON THE FRONT FLOORBOARDS. I HAVE A 16" BY 8" HOLE ON MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD THAT I PUT MY FOOT INSIDE WHEN I WAS GETTING INSIDE MY CAR AND SLIGHTLY INJURED MY FOOT. THE ONLY THING HOLDING THIS HOLE IS THE CARPET THAT IS COVERING THE RUSTED OUT FLOOR PANEL. THIS IS A SUPER BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ON ALL NISSAN VEHICLES BEFORE ANY OTHER INJURIES OR COMPLAINTS TAKE PLACE. NISSAN WANTED TO CHARGE ME A $125 DIAGNOSIS FEE FOR SOMETHING YOU CAN PHYSICALLY SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES.

THE FLOOR PANEL UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS RUSTED OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED.
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.
