| Description of the problem | I am the sole owner of a 2004 nissan altima. I have only serviced this car at the nissan dealership. Upon a routine oil change it was discovered that the passenger floorboard had a 12" x 24" area that was rusted through. The rest of the under carriage was in perfect shape (for now). I thought this rather odd. This car only has 68,305 miles on it. It is cared for with deluxe washing. It is kept in a garage. This should not have happened. I called my dealership. I was told this is not under warranty and that they have seen this before. They had nissan reps in to check out other cars in the recent past. Notes were made. No action. I reported my situation to the nissan consumer affairs. My case was kicked up to a second rep. He will be contacting my dealership to see what can be "worked out". I asked if they had other complaints like this, yes they had. He said if more people file complaints there could be a recall. File your complaint! Spread the word! |
