2004 Nissan MAXIMA Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model	MAXIMA
Model Year	2004
File date	14/08/13
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I have extensive rust through on both driver side and passenger front floor pans. It appears there was originally a double layer of metal and both layers are rusted with large holes in them. The car is beyond the five year rust through warranty but this really is severe and difficult to notice since it is under the car. The rust does not appear to be from the outside but appears to be from the inside out. I do not know what would cause the rust to begin from the inside but seems to be a design defect to me. I will take this up with nissan as i bought the car new, but i doubt they will offer to stand behind this, since this is extremely dangerous as it is possible for fumes or road debris to come through the carpet and into the passenger compartment. I am not certain what the mileage was when this began but this amount of rust did not begin recently. I suspect may nissan maxima's are affected by this problem and there should be some sort of safety notice to current owners to make them aware of this problem.
