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 is the second time I am replacing the bearing. It's really not that bad just jingle sound coming from the wheels. I know it's going to get worse if I don't though. Maybe normal. I don't know what the previous owner did.
05 Altimas are famous for losing their front wheel bearings. You will notice a hum and then a grinding sound. You must replace them. I recommend replacing the hub and bearing and it is usually sold in a kit. Don't just replace the bearing because the problem could occur more often.
