CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 Nissan Altima has two fairly significant problems with the floor pan rusting through & motor mounts breaking.
Altima owners report that up to a basketball-size hole develops under the floor mats where the floor pan metal rusts through. Average repair cost is over $1,000.
The broken motor mounts are less of a problem - they break at ~75,000 miles average & it's $400 to fix. Still, motor mounts should not break!
I hate Nissan with a passion. This is the fourth or fifth time my car was at the dealership for repairs. It has broken down on me and many other things and it isn't that old. I was told that I could get a loaner when my car was in the shop, but now the program has gone away so not only am I having to pay $1700 but I also have to get kids to daycare and get to work on my own. I will never buy a Nissan again.
