While vehicle in for routine service, the technician pointed out significant rot to front passenger floor board on the undercarriage of the vehicle. I see from the listed complaints that this seems to be a systemic problem for this particular vehicle and model year.

I have a 2004 Maxima sl with 90,000(mi) as I was driving on a rainy day I noticed the passenger front mat was getting wet when I got home I removed the mat and carpet and to my surprised I found a sizable rust hole in the floor passenger side. I took the car to the dealer and informed the manager of my discovery she told me that she was going to contact Nissan and find out what to do. In the mean time I stopped by a few autobody shops to get quotes on fixing it I tried 5 shops and most of them refuse to touch it because is a structural part of the vehicle, they also told me they thought I should go see the dealer as the car shouldn't rust like that being so new. A few days later I went back to the dealer and asked the manager if she ha heard from Nissan she said no, she mentioned that she has seen couple more cars come in for inspections and they noticed that the bottoms on the passenger sides were rusted consequently failing inspection. Nissan should make a recall or force to make a recall on this issue my car is worthless because of the structural damage it has. Nissan should be responsible for these repairs for using weak or cheaper materials.

On November 15, 2011, I was walking across the parking lot of food store and noticed something hanging down from the passenger side of the car under the passenger seat. Upon investigation I found a hole in the bottom of the car where it had rotted out. The metal is flaking off and the hole continues to get bigger. I looked online to see if there had been a recall to fix the problem and found many other people with the same problem. Nissan refuses to recall or repair the problem.

When driving vehicle shook uncontrollably at any speed. There was a severe vibration in the steering wheel, seats, a defect in the rubber molding of the windshield, the brakes squealed, the brake rotors were out of round and a grinding sound when the steering wheel was turned. The tires were rotated a few times, the brakes were lubed and sanded, power steering rack was adjusted, brake rotors were replaced and a brand new set of tires were added.
