I own a 2005 Nissan Altima and both front driver and passenger floor boards rusted through totally. Would not pass pa. Inspection. Per my mechanic rusted because how Nissan routes the drain hose for the air conditioner cause the premature/unsafe holes. It was very dangerous to ride in the car, to where injury was certain. Took to auto body shop and they also said the same cause for the rusted out floor boards. My Nissan Altima wasn't the first Nissan Altima they replaced the floor boards. Again they stated very dangerous to operate this car! it cost me $528.94 for this repair! I want reimbursed! I only included the passenger picture of floor board due to size allowed to download. The driver side just as bad!

Driver & passenger side floorboards rusted through resulting in: 1. increased road noise 2. air entering vehicle while driving 3. water entering the vehicle, and soaking the carpeting in rain storms, etc possibly creating mold 4. easy access for rodents/vermin

Reporting rotting floorboard on my 2005 Nissan Altima. It's a possible safety concern as vapors could enter passenger area. This seems to be a design flaw and would hope Nissan as a self proclaimed top safety pick would stand behind this issue I believe there have been many complaints on this floorboard issue. Please advise.

The floor boards under the drivers feet are completely rotted through. The carpet is the only thing from keeping my feet from going through to the road. I have searched online and found this to be an extremely common problem on this model of car and yet, Nissan will not resolve the problem. As a side note, my car is in immaculate condition, other than the condition of the floor boards.

I started leasing my Altima in 2008 and purchased the car about 4 years later. I took it to have my muffler checked, because I heard noise, and it was found that the floorboard on the front, passenger side, is completely rusted out. The only thing between my passengers and the street is the carpet. Nissan said there is no recall. The car is only 11 years old!

My 2005 Nissan Altima has major rusting on the passenger side of the vehicle. This was found after the carpet on the inside of the car started falling through the floorboard. This issue almost had my wife's foot through the floor, without her knowing. This has been reported (via research and reports on the news) to both Nissan and NHTSA and both state it is not a safety issue. How is this not a safety issue if you don't know about it and you could put your foot through the floor?

The floorboards on my 2005 Nissan Altima are corroding and rusting out. You can touch the floor carper from the bottom! this is happening on both sides of the car the driver and passenger side. This is supposedly a known issue with this car make/model and this has happened to a lot of people. I am not sure but the repair costs are very expensive for this type of work.

Rusting floorboards, front, both drivers and passengers side

Driver side floor board rusted through.

- South Toms River, NJ, USA

Brought my 2005 Nissan Altima to mechanic for service. He noticed both driver side and passenger side floorboards rotted out. Each side has a 6" - 8" wide X ~18" long rectangular hole in the floorboard underneath the carpet. You are able to push up on the carpet from underneath the vehicle on both sides. The only thing separating the driver or passenger's feet from the road in these areas is the carpeting.

My Altima is well maintained car bought all new from Nissan dealership. State of Pennsylvania needs state inspection done every year and this year my Altima failed safety inspection. Meaning, my car is deemed not safe to drive on the street because of Nissan Altima's design flaw making floor-board behind front wheels go rusted. I use the car to commute everyday to work, unknowingly exposing myself to unforeseen danger. Nissan should have addressed this common issue happening to many other consumers before any life threatening incident occur to their so called "customers".

My 2005 Nissan Altima passenger side floorboard has rusted through. After speaking with a local welding shop I discovered that this is a "typical" issue with older Nissan's. they informed me they have seen this on about 6 Nissan's in my area. I feel even if a recall has not been called, I should have been informed somehow of the potential issue. There seems to be a design flaw as this is not just a rare occurrence. My vehicle has just under 107,000 miles and I am baffled how the other body areas show no signs of rust with the exception of one area of floorboard. I am not providing a photo as this has been reported nationally for some time now and it doesn't appear anything will be done about it. You can google "Nissan floorboard rust" if you need a visual.

Rust through of undercarriage under passenger and driver seats. Widely known problem that Nissan is aware of but refuses to issue a recall on. The rust occurs from the inside out due to inadequate drainage of water. Found out about it just today while getting an oil change.

I purchased a used 2005 Nissan Altima - only to find my passenger floor near the door is rotted/rusted out!! I do not have money to spend thousands to repair this. Why isn't there a recall? I have seen many many posts on the matter but unfortunately only after I bought the car!

We noticed something hanging down from under passenger side and found that both sides of the floorboard are comepletely rusted out with big holes in the floor!! we have a 2005 Nissan Altima. We called a body shop and they said it would cost over $2000 to fix. How is this not a recall and safety issue"? Nissan do you not care about your customers safety?" we were gonna buy another Nissan maybe a Nissan rogue but if this is how they(Nissan) take care of their owners then im not so sure!! step up Nissan and do the right thing!!!!!

- Lebanon, IL, USA

I noticed something hanging down under the vehicle directly under the drivers side. I had a neighbor who is a mechanic look under the car. He told me that the under carriage floor board was completely rusted through and was so bad it would be dangerous to continue driving it. I can't afford the repair. What can I do?
