| Description of the problem | Noticed a piece of metal hanging down from under the car on the passenger side front door. When i bent down, noticed that it was a piece of sheet metal from the floorboard. When i was able to get the car onto a lift, i noticed that the entire floorboard on the passenger side was completely rotted. I have noticed that on this website and many other pages on the internet, people have complained about this same problem, but nissan hasn't made any attempts to do nothing about it. This poses many safety concerns beside the obvious foot going thru the floor or water coming up thru the floor, but also poses a safety concern of fumes making their way into the passenger compartment. We have owned this car since it was brand new and have always been very happy with nissan and its reliability, but this isn't helping nissan's cause. |
