My wife's 2015 altima 2.5 sl has a tremendous water leak on the drivers side filling the cabin with inches of water. This vehicle has been garage kept for the 5yrs, but with the purchase of my new car we know keep the altima in the driveway. After a recent rain I noticed a very strong musty, moldy odor and the sound of water as I backed out of the driveway, as I reached level ground my feet where soaked with water. I have had the drain tubes cleaned and cleared as this was mention to me at the dealership as a common problem. This did not fix the water leak and nissan requires $475 to check the problem further. I did a search online and noticed this is a common problem with nissan vehicles, as this water leak seem to come from faulty structural welding it's a safety hazard to the electrical system and safety of the vehicle as a whole, we now experience slight electrical glitches with our altima which again I feel is a safety hazard.

2015 altima has incurred two separate water leak issues within two months. First, diagnosed as clogged AC drain. This required complete replacement of carpet. This was repaired under warranty. Second, diagnosed as faulty firewall grommet on steering assembly. This allowed excessive amounts of rainwater to flood driver side carpet and under dash electrical while driving. Nissan claims is not a warranty-able failure due to "nature" being source of water which flooded through firewall. Dealer states this has been a common occurrence on 2013-2017 altimas nissan also does not see how failure of firewall grommet (s) could lead to vehicles sinking faster in the event of a water crash.

Water leaking into cabin at firewall - previously noticed that the front passenger floor mat and carpeting was damp on multiple occasions. Applying water to the windshield resulted in water dripping down the inside firewall and dripping onto the floor mat and carpeting. Currently at dealer being evaluated if this is a failed part or a manufacturing defect. Since car cabins are not designed to be in a wet environment, this may lead to electrical problems and mold/mildew growth within the car's interior. Have attempted to call nissan consumer affairs dept today 1st attempt received message to call back during normal working hours, although is was, and 2nd time was on hold for over 26 minutes with no answer.
