CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 Nissan Altima has two fairly significant problems with the floor pan rusting through & motor mounts breaking.
Altima owners report that up to a basketball-size hole develops under the floor mats where the floor pan metal rusts through. Average repair cost is over $1,000.
The broken motor mounts are less of a problem - they break at ~75,000 miles average & it's $400 to fix. Still, motor mounts should not break!
Don't know why it leaked, but it hasn't anymore - only about twice, the first time a little bit (don't know the date), the second time there was quite a bit of water in the trunk, had to open the drain cap in the bottom in trunk. Plus use a small shop vac to vacuum it out.
This problem was due to a crack in the fire wall beneath the front windshield. It cause mold, and mildew under the carpet on the passenger side. I did the remediation myself to save money but it was a real pain to do.
