1 Seats problem

2 Seats problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2015

The floor boards on both the driver and passenger have rooted out almost completely on my 2006 Nissan Altima. I have noticed this a about a year ago and it has got increasingly worse since. I can push the carpet up from under the vehicle and feel very unsafe. I am careful not to put weight on the floors while entering the vehicle for fear I am going to put my foot through the floor. This is a very common issue due to a flawed design in the drain system. The floorboards hold water which may accumulate through the door while raining and salt and water from the under side. Please issue a recall and make Nissan fix these vehicles that could stay on the road for many more years. My car has 109k miles on it and is in very good shape and runs very well. I don't want to have to do this job myself or pay 1,000 to get it fixed.

6 Seats problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2012

When my parents first bought the car the right passenger seat would be shaking at that time the car had 52,000 miles on it right after we bought it on April 10th 2012 from the Nissan dealership at that time they checked it and the car has 117,000 miles now and sometimes the front passenger seat shake and vibrating when you are driving it 55 to 60 miles per hour so I think Nissan needs to do a recall it to check the problem out.
