I have a 2004 nissan altima that I take good care of. I don't drive it in the winter so it doesn't see much salt.I recently noticed rust holes in both my drivers side and passengers side floorboards which is ridiculous and unacceptable considering the car is barely seven years old and so well taken care of.my opinion is that the metal used is far too thin and that it is a flawed design.nissan should recall all of these altimas with this problem and make it right.I will never buy another nissan again...
2004 Nissan Altima body complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 42 of 42, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Rusted floor boards in passenger and driver side. In researching this problem, it looks like there was a defect in the design of 2001-2005 nissan altima floor boards due to a drainage plug that was not properly sealed. Contacted nissan north america and have not heard anything back after they said I would get a call back. The rusted out floor pans can become a hazard if not taken care of, but if you don't happen to see them then you will not no they are there. Most of the complaints that I have found; it seems that the floor boards have rusted all they way through to the main cabin. I am afraid that if people never check for this problem, it will progressively rust through and affect your seats and everything that is there. Looks like nissan north america will not take care of this problem! They don't care!
