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!
No need to say much more than previously stated except given the nature of impeccable maintenance on this car it should not be having feed me problems. Nissan seems to intentionally build cars with junk parts. It's shameful to know that Kias are having less complaints. Don't be fooled by the slick look as they will suck the life out of you. I'm not even sure that the higher end models won't do the same! In my opinion Nissan/Infinity vehicle quality are among the least desired vehicles on the road and this has been the same comments by ALL mechanics that I know.
