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!
On 11/22/2013 I bought a car at Pomona Valley Auto Sell Inc. I took it straight to PepBoys to be checked out. PepBoys informed me that the car had a major problem. Then I took the vehicle back to the dealership to make them aware of the problem, during that time I spoke to Charlie, he told me to bring the vehicle back to the dealership so he can fix the problem. The car was in his possession for at least 3 weeks.
I got the car back 2 weeks before Christmas, everything seemed OK, then the car was stolen on 1/8/2014, it was recovered between the 23, 24 of January 2014. When I got the car back I noticed that the car was missing things and still running hot. I called Charlie he said bring the car back so he can take it to the mechanic shop. The car stayed in the shop for about 2 to 3 weeks, they claim they were looking for a engine. When the car was returned back to me, then it started doing the same thing again, running hot. Took it to Pep Boys again, they said the car has the same problem as before. Now when I go back to the shop it is now closed down. Now the car is back in the shop at Cober Repair getting worked on for the same problem.
This car has been a big problem and in and out the shop a dozen of times.
