CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Nissan Altima has a trend of engine & transmission problems.
Excessive oil consumption is the main problem reported by owners. Nissan did a recall back in 2006 for oil consumption due to bad piston rings, but many owners report to us that the recall didn't fix the problem. The dealer only had to check the oil consumption rate. Typically 1 qt per 1,000 miles is "acceptable" per OEM standards ... that's a lot of oil!
The 2006 Altima also has a defect trend of CVT transmission failure showing up around the 100,000 mile mark.
It's an expensive repair at over $2,000 average repair cost. For more information see Nissan Altima CVT defect info on NissanProblems.com.

There should be a recall for this. The nissan pathfinders (older models) have a recall due to rust in the front wheel wells compromising the structural integrity... Having a floor rust through is not only dangerous, someone could hurt themselves putting their leg through the floor. But the structural integrity is affected in a collision.
Many documented cases of this can be found online and nissan is just turning a blind eye. Unfortunately it takes someone getting seriously hurt before manufacturers stand behind their product.
Very poor for a car less than 8 years old to rot out like this...
