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!
DURING 2ND WEEK OF FEBRUARY, 2015, THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 2005 GOT STUCK. AFTER SOME STRUGGLE, THE BRAKES STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 0 DEGREE F. I CALLED ONE OF THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT IT COULD BE DUE TO CRUD OR ICE BUILT UP IN THE BRAKES.
ON THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN 20S. WE GOT THE CAR WASHED TO GET ANY CRUD OR ICE REMOVED FROM THE BRAKES. ON 2/20/2015, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT STUCK AGAIN. THE BRAKES STARTED WORKING AGAIN AFTER SOME STRUGGLE. THE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 0 DEGREE F. FORTUNATELY BOTH TIMES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT STUCK, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC. ON 2/20/15, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER.THE DEALER REPLACED THE BOOSTER HOSE WITH VALVE.
NOTE: THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR WITH THE NISSAN DEALER WITH SAME PROBLEM.
