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!
The car has a harsh shift from 1st to 2nd gear. It does not happen all the time but most of the time. I saw online that this is a common problem with 2005 Altima. It could be related to the following (NTB05-001 or DTC P0745). I have seen info on both online. I would love to know how to proceed from here.
The transmission is not smooth. When I drove on highway, sometimes it jerked obviously and made me nervous. It also happens when the car is accelerated from 1st shift to 2nd shift.
