BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON 9/19/2018. PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE SERVICE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS RUSTING UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE. I COULDN'T PICTURE WHAT THEY WERE DESCRIBING SO I ASKED TO SEE AND I TOOK A PICTURE. SUBSEQUENTLY, I WAS INFORMED BY SOMEONE ELSE (NOT NISSAN) THAT THIS HAS BEEN A LONG STANDING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL & YEAR (2006). IT POTENTIALLY COULD AFFECT MY SUSPENSION/STEERING AND ALSO CAUSE A PASSENGER TO FALL THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT THAT THEY EVEN SENT OUT A 13 PAGE ILLUSTRATED BULLETIN TITLED "FLOOR PANEL REPAIR" ON 7/6/2015 TO THE DEALERS ABOUT A KIT THEY DEVELOPED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM; YET, THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. JUST TODAY, 12/11/19, I INCIDENTALLY FOUND OUT MY PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP HAS HAD NUMEROUS CASES FOR THE NISSAN PATHFINDER. UNSURE OF WHAT YEAR(S) BUT IT WAS A HUGE ISSUE AND THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL IN THOSE INSTANCES. THERE IS A HISTORY OF THIS WITH ALTIMAS 2002-2006 & MAXIMAS 2004-2008. I'VE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE BULLETIN. BUT WHAT MADE MATTERS WORSE WAS BETWEEN 1/9/19-3/20/19 THERE WERE A NUMBER OF SEVERE POTHOLES ON NJ 95 SOUTH OF WHICH KNOCKED MY SUSPENSION/STEERING OFF. (55-60MPH). IT FELT LIKE ALL OF THE WHEELS WERE COMING OFF. THIS ADDS TO THE RISK THE ERRODING PANEL LEADING TO THE AXLES, OTHER SUSPENSION, ETC. POSES & COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING.

I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA TO THE SHOP TO PURCHASE TIRES AND UPON PUTTING THE VEHICLE ON A LIFT, THE MECHANIC CALLED ME BACK TO SHOW ME A GAPING HOLE ON BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE CARPET WERE LIFTED, YOU COULD SEE THROUGH TO THE ROAD ON BOTH SIDES. BOTH FLOORBOARD PANELS WERE RUSTED INCREDIBLY BADLY. AT ANY TIME MY DOG OR GRANDCHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. I AM UNAWARE OF HOW LONG THE HOLES HAVE BEEN THERE BUT JUDGING FROM THE SEVERITY OF THE RUST, I WOULD SAY IT HAS BEEN 5+ YEARS SINCE THEY STARTED RUSTING. IT WAS HUGE GAPING HOLES, SO MUCH SO THAT I BOUGHT A NEW CAR.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FOR SOME 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S. MY CAR HAS CONTINUALLY NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS LIST BUT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS EQUIPMENT. 2 YEARS AGO I REPLACED THAT SENSOR AND RESET THE CRANKSHAFT POS AND REPROGRAMED THE ECM. NOW AGAIN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS THE SAME SENSOR THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND YET I AM STILL NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS DEFECT. I AM SURE THAT OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. MY CAR ALSO CONSUMES OIL AT AN IRREGULAR PACE, WHICH IS ANOTHER RECALL, YET MY CAR IS NOT ON THAT RECALL EITHER.

1. CAR RANDOMLY HAS SLOW ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I CAN TURN OFF THE CAR, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT BEGINS WORKING OK AGAIN. 2. CAR SOMETIMES RANDOMLY LOSES POWER WITH NO WARNING. 3. SOMETIMES IF IT STALLS AND EVENTUALLY CRANKS UP, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SLOW ACCELERATION ISSUES AGAIN BUT THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE TAKEN TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE SHOP REPEATED AND THEY DON'T PULL ANYTHING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, CHANGED OUR CAN SENSOR, CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, EVERYTHING SEEMS GOOD FOR A LITTLE WHILE (FEW DAYS OR COUPLE OF WEEKS) AND THEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN. I READ IN VARIOUS FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE HAPPENING WITH MANY ALTIMAS FOR VARIOUS MODEL YEARS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSUE HAS NOT CALLED FOR A NATIONAL RECALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! MY FRIEND ALSO HAS A 2006 ALTIMA AND HER CAR HAS BEGUN TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING!. PLEASE HELP. THE FIRST TIME IT LOST POWER IT WAS DURING A MORNING COMMUTE TO WORK WHILE DRIVING ON THE CALIFORNIA 91 FREEWAY! IT REALLY TERRIFIED ME BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY OR LONG DISTANCES. I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR THE WEEKEND BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK TODAY, AND BEING SATURDAY, THE COMMUTER BUS THAT I NOW TAKE TO WORK BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST MY CAR, DOES NOT RUN ON THE WEEKENDS. I WANT TO GET A NEW CAR BUT CAN'T AFFORD HAVING MONTHLY PAYMENTS AGAIN. I DIDN'T START HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS PAID OFF.
