FLOORBOARD IS RUSTED THROUGH. NOTICED SOFT SPOT IN FLOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE OF VEHICLE. LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW A RUSTED HOLE APPROXIMATELY 8" X 16" IN SIZE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD, AND SIGNS OF RUST STARTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD TOO. I DO NOT EXPECT THIS OF A NINE YEAR OLD VEHICLE, AND SUSPECT THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A WHILE. I CONTACTED NISSAN SUPPORT, I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE COST OF REPAIR TO BE AROUND $2150. I RECEIVED A FOLLOW UP CALL FROM NISSAN AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR.

PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR RUSTED AWAY - ABOUT 16" X 8" DAMAGED AREA. MUST HAVE STARTED LONG AGO, BUT I ONLY CAUGHT IT RECENTLY AND TODAY I BEGAN TO TRY TO REPAIR IT, BUT THE DAMAGE IS MUCH WORSE THAN WHAT I COULD INITIALLY SEE. THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW WITH ALTIMAS IN THIS AGE RANGE, BUT NISSAN IS IGNORING.

THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THE CARPET IS THE ONLY THING SEPARATING THE PASSENGER'S FEET FROM THE GROUND. THE HOLE IS 16 INCHES IN LENGTH. I SAW SOME SORT OF PLASTIC HANGING FROM THE AREA AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, THE FLOORBOARD IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. WHEN I EXAMINED THE AREA WITH MY HAND, I FELT THE CARPET AND AM ABLE TO PUSH IT UP INTO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND DEFECT IN THE CAR. THIS HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN RUSTING FOR SOME TIME NOW AND I DID NOT KNOW MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING OVER A GAPING WHOLE IN THE FLOOR AND IN DANGER FROM HER FEET FALLING THROUGH THE FLOOR OR SOMETHING POTENTIALLY PIERCING THROUGH AND INJURING HER.

CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER I PURCHASED CAR FROM, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL BUT THAT NISSAN HAS ISSUED A "SERVICE BULLETIN" ON HOW TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. COST OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR WAS IN EXCESS OF $3,000. DO NOT FEEL THAT A TEN YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. CAR HAS 170K MILES BUT OTHERWISE IS IN FLAWLESS CONDITION.

A HOLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD. JUST NOTICED IT TODAY 4/18/16.
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.
