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!
This car is supposed to be zero to no maintenance for the first 5 years but has spent so much time giving me problems and in the shop with recurring issues that I feel that Nissan should replace the vehicle all together. I bought the extended warranty but still pay for deductible and other basic regular repairs, and am beyond mad. The front right axle broke while driving, and it caused an accident.
