Had to replace front passenger floor pan because there was a hole about 15 inches long and 5 inches wide due to rust. My front subframe is completely rusted at this point. Rust is expected in new york due to salt, but after talking with nissan they said they have not heard anyone else having issues despite thousands of hits on a simple internet search about rust issues for nissans.

Takta recall. Hello, I have purchased a nissan altima 2.5 s 2003. My entire carextremely shakes from the moment I start my car until I turn it off. When I'm driving the car , the car at times drives like it's going to fail. Multiple times when driving, the car would stopped opereating properly. When my car is turned on gas/fuel like fumes through the ventilation system and throughout my vehical making it difficult to breathe at times. The door on the driver side, out of knkwhere shifted to where I can't shut my door completely. The door sensor light stays on when I turn my car off and it drains my battery because my door doesn't shut completely, and the door sensor stays on. Also, out of knowwhere the gas tank door, has shifted out of know where to where I can't shut the gasoline door completely.

Took car for mo mandated safety inspection. Car failed inspection due to floor pan being rusted all the way thru. When passenger seat carpet was moved, you could see the roadway thru the floor from inside the vehicle. Affected area was approx 24"x9". Cost over $1000 to replace affected area.

Purchased a 2003 altima, 1 owner car for my 16 year old daughter. After having car for about 9 months noticed metal rusted material in the driveway under the passenger side of the car. Inspected and found a hole the size of my fist going all the way through. Ended up replacing most all of the passenger side floor pan due to a major safety issue. If not for the carpet the passenger could have placed their foot through the area. Have talked to others at body shops and found this is a problem with the altima from 2003-2006. Not a cheap fix either.

The floor boards rotted out, just found out about it, give it a few more months. I can become fred flintstone and start pushing my car around when the camshaft/crankshaft sensor goes out again. Both sensors have been replaced and still had not corrected the problem. Brought the car in today and was told there are no recalls for your car. That's interesting when you can't go anywhere and you are sitting at a light with traffic behind you. That's were meet the flintstones comes in, using foot power to move the car.

Floorboards on drivers and passengers side is completely rusted thru. It is my 82 year old mothers car, which she bought new. The car has always been garage kept and taken care of meticulously by me and is in mint condition. No rust what so ever on the car (except the floorboards) and has only 50,000 miles.
