“I noticed a large amount of rust/holes forming under my 06 Nissan Altima with 80k on it. It's all in the floor boards, driver and passenger sides. In first noticed it back in the summer of 2014....a few months after I bought it from a Nissan dealership. They said they couldn't do anything. I saw the news today about the same issue I noticed. We need a recall for safety. Cause it will become one. I will sue if my foot goes thru the floor.”
NHTSA complaint #10704158, filed 2015-04, 80,600 miles“I purchased my 2006 Nissan Altima se-r around 4/18/2008 with around 34,000 miles. A few days later, I noticed the clutch pedal was sticking down to the floor and wouldn't come back up. Before I could take it to the dealer, the car clutch gave up on me and had to get it tow to the dealer. Dealer then replace the clutch ($1000) after a few days, the clutch pedal was still sticking to the floor, so I took it back to the dealer. Dealer had the car for a few hours and then called me to say it was done (fix) after that, the car was fine for a while. …”
