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!

1) had trunk of car open to load suitcases 2) brisk wind came up and slammed the trunk lid down with extreme force. A child or adult could be injured if leaning into the trunk or if fingers are in the opening. When closing the trunk lid, I have noticed that it just drops shut with its own weight, after it is moved beyond a quarter of its full movement. I have a spoiler on my trunk lid which may contribute to this problem. 3) nothing done to correct
