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!
For a vehicle that has such low mileage I really don't think that door hinges should be worn out that much yet. It was worn to the point I really had to slam the door shut. You just can't change the pin but you have to replace the whole door hinge. The vehicle is a sedan and the doors are not heavy like it would be for a two door. Should be redesigned
