Complaint
2007
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED OR WHEN TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARS A LOUD POPPING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN OCTOBER OF 2007 AND IN JANUARY OF 2008 FOR THIS FAILURE. DURING THE SECOND VISIT, THE DOWN EXHAUST PIPE WAS REPLACED AND THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NOTHING ELSE COULD BE DONE. CURRENTLY, THE NOISE IS INTENSIFYING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,450. UPDATED 02/15/08. *LJ

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
