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.

At first we thought it was the belt because the belt from coming off you change the serpentine belt and then it would run for a little bit then it started to stop and not be able to get enough fuel to the gas pedal and I'd have to rev it up. We opened it up where the spark plugs were on the valve covers and it was halfway full of oil we got all the oil out when we ordered a new valve cover and spark plugs the car run fine for one day now it will not start again. The fan turns on like it is running but there is no power to the car at all. I read that after the oil gets into the valve covers there's really no fixing it after that. And every time that we fix it only last for one day and so it's very dangerous for me and my daughter to be driving around in that unreliable car what can I do about the recall.
I remember getting into highway accelerating, it did not want to go to the next gear suddenly it feels like the vehicle is off. I freak out lose control of the vehicle and hit the wall of the bridge. I was hanging from the bridge. I called Nissan affairs and they did absolutely nothing. My vehicle was a total loss... the case with Nissan affairs case#38420940. Bereniz and Dakota were the investigators on the case.
I've called to see if there's a recall on the car fuel system to be exact fuel gauge is reading full is broken.reads full when there's only 5 to 6 gallons of gas.they won't even look at it free of charge to see what the issue is.this happens when I'm driving or sitting.
1. three handles on the Nissan Altima on my car have snapped off when opening. Even after replacing them they still snap off probably because in cold weather they become brittle. If he handles were metal they would not snap off. My concern is if during an accident before emergency vehicles could arrive that if someone were to try to assist getting me out of the car the handles would snap off and they could not remove me from the car. This is extremely dangerous the handles on cars should not snap off and plastic handles are extremely dangerous in all climates. 2. I have had my front headlights cleaned three times and they always fog up within several weeks of cleaning. The dealership has said it is faulty design and to replace the headlamps is close to a thousand dollars with 1 year guarantee which is very cost prohibitive. I have seen cars less than two years old with opaque head lamps this is unaccetable and dangerous that lights can not project light appropriately and this is on most models of cars. If you are in rural areas and the lights do not project light this is a big problem. I can not believe that metal handles and durable headlight covers that don't fog are not required of these companies. Until the last 15-20 years this was never a problem but car manufacturers are opting for cheap materials that can have lethal repercussions for crucial safety items. Car handles and head lamps as far as safety are as crucial as proper airbag function. Handles should not snap off in your hands and headlamps if cleaned should remain clean and not foggy and this does not happen. Please address this concern.
There is a recall for 2005 Nissan Altima because of over heating due to a failing crankshat/camshaft position sensor which causes car to stall unexpectedly and cause vehicle to crash. Well my vehicle is not on the recall list but yet have the same issue and almost was rear ended by another vehicle due to sensor getting hot and causing car to stall and decrease speed dramatically. And with Nissan not recalling my VIN for the same obvious reasons for the recall. So I'm being forced to drive this unsafe car that I've let Nissan know is defected, thus endangering myself and the public. It's as though I have to be in an accident and then have to sue Nissan because of neglet and allowing one of their vehicles continue to operate knowing that there is an issue with its safety. So I may be forced to have problem fixed but would like to be reimbursed for repairs.
Over two months ago my grandson opened the outside driver side door of my Nissan Altima and the handle came off in his hand. The car was parked in my driveway. My son checked for recalls and said there where no recalls, even though he found that this had happened to other owners. He also found the prices for fixing with a dealer or other mechanic. After a few days of driving the vehicle without the handle being fixed, it occurred to me that this could be a safety hazard. If I were in an accident and passed out no one could open the door in a timely manner to remove me or others (if it was a passenger door) from the vehicle. I called Nissan headquarters and filed a case a day or so later. I received a call within a day or two and explained the situation and my concerns but I was told the vehicle is too many months out of warranty and too many miles out of warranty. I explained problem and the safety concerns but nothing made a difference. I told the first agent who initially took my case, when asked what Nissan could do for me, I said give me a discount on the repair/replacement of outside driver side door handle. A couple of weeks later I received an email survey from Nissan headquarters and again expressed my concern regarding safety and also the concerns I recently had regarding the Nissan dealership I had been dealing with since I originally purchased the car brand new from this particular dealer. I have not heard any more from Nissan headquarters in more than a month. My son did glue the handle back for me, but just recently it came off again. I may need to have it professionally repaired. In order to get into the vehicle, I must unlock it with the remote (I think that is what it is called) and let the window down and reach in to open the door. After holding the door handle in my hand, I believe it is just made of plastic.
Upon inspection prior to trying to privately sell my car, it was found that the floorboards were rusting out and there are actual hole on the underside of the car. Apparently, upon me googling, this is a known design issue (rather than normal wear and tear) for Nissan between 2002-2006. To fix the car will cost me more than it is worth. Not only that, but holes in the floorboards are also a huge safety concern.
I had a big hole on my passenger side as well as driver side on floor. My passenger airbag lights on. If anyone can help me out that will be so useful for me. Please take an action as soon as possible. Thanks.
Takata recall my vehicle was in motion on the highway and my engine started to shake a little hard and when I pulled over the car turned off and wouldn't start anymore. I had to get a towing truck to get home and ever since my car doesnt start anymore it will just crank but wont start.
A person from my job at stericycle by the name of michael wygel who works as an I.T. technician at shred-it/stericycle located at 81 walsh road in parsippany NJ, keeps illegally remotely hacking my car. The light comes on saying "tcs off" and another light comes on with it stating "slip." When he does this and these lights comes on, the car does not drive safely at all. The car doesn't go into gear easily and it seems to be very rough to switch gears. Also the steering is completely off when he does this as well as the driving of the vehicle too. This light stays on while I am driving. I am very terrified. He has been stalking me online for months since I found out the I.T. dept put webcams in the computer stands at my job, and since he has been electronically stalking me-with this illegal sick remote car hacking being a part of his malicious behavior towards me in his efforts to clearly harm me. I am in fear for my life and safety. Car hacking as you know is extremely dangerous and I do not want him to do this to me. His blue tooth # is: 44:00:10:ce:21:ae and his bluetooth name is: Braven brv-1 and braven-brv-X(?)
