| Description of the problem | My wife's 2015 altima 2. 5 sl has a tremendous water leak on the drivers side filling the cabin with inches of water. This vehicle has been garage kept for the 5yrs, but with the purchase of my new car we know keep the altima in the driveway. After a recent rain i noticed a very strong musty, moldy odor and the sound of water as i backed out of the driveway, as i reached level ground my feet where soaked with water. I have had the drain tubes cleaned and cleared as this was mention to me at the dealership as a common problem. This did not fix the water leak and nissan requires $475 to check the problem further. I did a search online and noticed this is a common problem with nissan vehicles, as this water leak seem to come from faulty structural welding it |
