Complaint
2006
STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
VEHICLE IN QUESTION: 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, CURRENTLY NISSAN?S ORIGINAL 60 MONTH UNLIMITED MILE RUST WARRANTY. 72,296 MILES. DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD AREA ARE RUSTING THROUGH. (AROUND THE FOOT WELL AREA.) I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A KNOWN-DEFECT AND KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NISSAN IS NOT CORRECTING THIS ISSUE. I KNOWN OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS CASES OF THIS PROBLEM DOCUMENTED ON REPUTABLE WEB SITES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DRIVER?S AND PASSENGER?S FEET CAN PUSH THROUGH THE FLOOR AND ARE NOT ADEQUATELY PROTECTED DUE TO THE WEAKENED, RUSTED METAL SHOULD A ACCIDENT OCCUR. APRIL 15, 2010 SPOKE WITH ROLAND KOSTIEW (ROCKINHAM NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER) VIA TELEPHONE AND HE STATED: THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS RUST-THROUGH PROBLEM BEFORE?AND NISSAN DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HE WILL FIGHT FOR ME BECAUSE I AM A LOCAL CUSTOMER. NISSAN ATTRIBUTES THE PROBLEM TO THE FLOORBOARD AREA BEING USED AS A JACK-MOUNT POINT. HE TOOK PICTURES SHOWING THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND HE AGREED THAT WOULD BE A RIDICULOUS POINT TO USE TO LIFT THE VEHICLE. APRIL 16, 2010 WAS INFORMED BY ROLAND KOSTIEW (ROCKINHAM NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER) VIA TELEPHONE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THE UNDERBODY RUST THROUGH AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. *TR
2008
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2008 ALTIMA 2.5S WAS ON 35-35 DEGREE INCLINE WITH FRONT FACING UPHILL. AS I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT POPPED OUT OF PARK AND INTO NEUTRAL. BEFORE I COULD STOP IT, THE DRIVER DOOR CAUGHT ON NEIGHBORING YARD/HILL AND BENT FORWARD. DAMAGE TO REAR BUMPER AS WELL. DAMAGE TOTALED APPROXIMATELY $3700. NISSAN SAID THEIR FILED TECH COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE FOUND 7 OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING BUT THEY DID NOT SEEM TO CARE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE OR PARK FOR THAT MATTER. *TR
