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!
It happens only in the morning. In the morning car starts as usual but does not move forward when I put the car in driving mode. But it goes reverse as usual. I need to wait 5-6 minutes after engine starting and then car drives forward.
I am not the ranting type of of person I just try to deal with it , but it's a pain in the ass. I have to manually shift gear into 1st then into 2nd and then into 3rd hoping it holds and stays in 3rd gear.
