2004 NISSAN ALTIMA Recalls, Complaints & Safety

The car has a fuel problem and crankshaft position sensor issue causing the car to die and also not start up normal idling. When I do get it to start up it idles very groggy.

The crankshaft position sensor (cps) was not responsive when the repair shop was testing the vehicle because of the "service engine soon" light came on. After a short search online they 1.) Had no signal to the cps from the pcm 2.) That there was also a voluntary recall by nissan for this issue covering this make an model. I called nissan and told me that the recall wasn't for that car but the vehicle was in fact built in the years covered and also had the exact issues the recall covered

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR THEN THE AXLE TWICE AND THE BRAKES THEN ETC

THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE IS RUSTING AWAY. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE FLOOR BOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE, FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE FROM RUST. YOU CAN FEEL AROUND THE FRAME OF THE CAR AND CHUNKS OF METAL FALL OFF . THIS WAS NOTICED DURING MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE . CAR WAS STATIONARY , I HAD NOTICED THAT I WAS GETTING AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF DUST INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN A FRONT COLLISION AT 35MPH. THE DRIVER WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED THERE WAS NO ONE SITTING IN THAT SEAT. THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

Crash

THE SOUND PACKAGING WAS PEELING ; YET TRULY THE FLOOR BOARDS ON DRIVERSIDE AND FRONT PASENGER HAVE COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF!! SO DANGEROUS! AND I HAVE HORRIBLE ALLERGIES AND THE CARPET IS FULL OF DUST AND MILDEW.

I RECENTLY HAD MY CAR SERVICED AND WAS TOLD MY FLOOR PANEL HAD ROTTED THROUGH. THE CAR IS A 2004 BUT HAS LESS THAN 44,000 MILES, HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AND HAS BEEN GARAGED PART OF THE TIME.ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET SHOW IT IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS DUE TO POOR DRAINAGE DESIGN. THE REPAIR IS OVER $2000. OTHERWISE THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THIS IS JUST ONE OF 1000'S OF REPORTS TO THE NHTSA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

FLOOR BOARDS (DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES), EXTENSIVE RUST CAUSING PIECES OF FLOOR BOARDS TO FALL OFF, OR EASILY BE REMOVED WITH HAND BY MECHANIC, LEAVING INSULATION EXPOSED ON EXTERIOR, AND HOLE UNDER CARPETING. SMELL OF GAS FUMES IN CABIN. ALSO, SQUEAKING AND CRACKING SOUNDS UNDER DRIVER SEAT AND SURROUNDING AREA, WHEN DRIVING OVER MINOR/SMALL BUMPS IN ROAD, OR WHEN SHIFTING WEIGHT, WHEN SITTING IN DRIVER SEAT. NOTE: ONE OWNER, GARAGE KEPT, DRIVEN BY 115-LB. PERSON ONLY. PICTURES AVAILABLE. (IS MY SEAT FALLING THROUGH THE FLOOR? IS MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE?) *TR

CAR DOES NOT START. ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL...MECHANIC SUGGESTING CPS VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FOR ONLY TEN MINUTES.. RAN JUST FINE BEFORE HAND.

PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD RUSTING. HOLE IN THE FLOOR!

RUSTED FLOOR BOARDS/PANELS UNDER VEHICLE AT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR SIDE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. RUST STARTED AFTER 2 YEARS OF USE .VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AT THE DEALERSHIP AND RUST STARTED 24 MONTHS AFTERWARDS WITH NO ACTION TAKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP OF NISSAN. OWNER DECIDED TO REPAIR THE RUST AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO COMPENSATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP OF NISSAN CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS. REPAIR S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND RECEIPT ATTACHED. NISSAN CORPORATE CLAIM #22951460.

THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD HAS RUSTED OUT LEAVING A 12" X 10" HOLE RIGHT IN THE AREA THAT YOU WOULD STEP INTO THE CAR. SINCE THIS IS THE AREA THAT IS REGULARLY INSPECTED DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE OIL FILTER, HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WASN'T DETECTED PREVIOUSLY TO JUST FALLING OUT.

FLOOR BOARDS UNDER THE DRIVER & PASSENGER SEATS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. CAN SEE & FEEL THE CARPET FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. IF YOU STEP TOO HARD ON THE FLOOR FROM THE INSIDE, YOU FOOT WOULD GO THROUGH AND YOU WOULD TOUCH THE GROUND.

FOR THE 2ND TIME CAR RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND STALLING. HAD IT SERVICED SEEMS THE SPARK PLUGS WERE DESTROYED AND NOT FUNCTIONING. PAID OVER $500 FOR MECHANIC TO PUT IN NEW PLUGS NOW IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SEEMS THERE IS A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN QR25DE POWER VALVE. CAMPAIGN ID P5202. A BOLT FROM MANIFOLD IS FALLING INTO CYLINDER AND BLOWING OUT SPARK PLUG AND CAUSING INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE, MY MECHANIC PUT CAMERA IN CYLINDER. CAR IS RUNNING BUT IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO CYLINDER 1 AND 4. NEXT TIME MY 22 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY ON HER HIGHWAY COMMUTE. HOPEFULLY THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CAN RECTIFY PROBLEM BEFORE THE PROBLEM BECOMES MORE SERIOUS. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAYS TO SERVICE ENGINE SOON, IT IS STILL ON...FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ONLINE SOUNDS LIKE POWER VALVE SCREWS ARE COMING OUT AND CREATING ENGINE DAMAGE.

I WAS UNSURE HOW THE RUST ON THE FLLORBOARD OF MY 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD OCCURRED BUT IS IT SO BAD THAT THERE IS A HOLE IN MY FLOORBOARD. IT HAS NOW GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT HAS NOW AFFECTED THE FRAME OF THE CAR.

RUST ON FLOORBOARD REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF FLOORBOARD. MINOR RUST WAS OBSERVED VIA INSPECTION WHEN UNDERNEATH THE CAR; HOWEVER, ONCE THE SEAT WAS REMOVED, THE SHOP INDICATED THE PROBLEM WAS MUCH WORSE, BECAUSE THE RUST IS OCCURRING FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS NOT TYPICAL RUST DUE TO SALT, ETC.

REAR SUSPENSION BUSHINGS & TAKATA RECALL THE CAR SLIPS IN THE REAR WHEELS SIMILAR TO "FISH-TAILING" IN SNOW. NISSAN OFFERED A RECALL IN 2006 TO REPLACE PARTS ON REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME UNTIL 2015, MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRED. NOTICES NEVER CONTAINED ANY NOTIFICATION OF ANY EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER HOURS OF CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMED THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL; THEN YES THERE WAS A RECALL THAT I HAD REPLACED IN 2007; THEN CLAIMING THE WORK WAS COMPLETED IN 2014, THEY FINALLY AGREED TO HAVING THE CAR INSPECTED REGARDING THIS RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP AT WOODFIELD NISSAN CLAIMED THAT MY CAR WAS "UNSAFE TO DRIVE" AND LISTED EVERY OTHER PART OF MY SUSPENSION THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OTHER THAN THE MAIN ONE IN THE RECALL. A SERVICE ORDER WAS CREATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO GIVE ME WHEN THE SERVICE MANAGER LOST HIS TEMPER AND GOT PHYSICALLY INTIMIDATING TOWARDS ME. MY WIFE AND I ARE FRIGHTENED TO EVER GO TO THIS DEALERSHIP DUE TO THIS. NOW I AM DRIVING AN "UNSAFE TO DRIVE" VEHICLE THAT NISSAN LEFT ME WITHOUT ANY PAPERWORK TO ADVISE ME WHAT IS UNSAFE ABOUT IT. AFTER ASKING NISSAN CORPORATION TO STEP IN, AS WELL AS BBB & IL A.G. REPORTS WERE FILED, NO ONE TO DATE HAS GIVEN ME DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THIS INSPECTION. THIS DEALERSHIP'S OWNER ALSO OWNS THE OTHER DEALERSHIP NEAR ME AND MY WIFE WHERE WE ARE NO LONGER WELCOMED. THIS, AND THE FACT THAT THE CORPORATION REFUSES TO HELP RESOLVE THIS, MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO HAVE THE TAKATA RECALL WORK COMPLETED WITHOUT GOING THRU FURTHER STRESS WITH NISSAN AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. THAT IS VERY UNETHICAL, IF NOT ILLEGAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE TOO EXPENSIVE. THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARINGS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. UPDATED 03/11/16*LJ *CN

STALL AT STOP AND IDLE WHEN ENGINE IS HOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE ACCELERATING OFF FROM A COMPLETED STOP, THE CONTACT NOTICED RUST ON THE GROUND. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE RUST WAS FALLING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR IS RUSTED THRU. THE HOLE IS ABOUT 6 X 9. IF MORE OF THE RUST IS REMOVED, I KNOW IT WILL BE MUCH BIGGER. I WAS QUOTED $900-$1200 FOR THE REPAIR. IS THERE A RECALL OR CAMPAIGN FOR THIS PROBLEM. IM TOLD THIS IS COMMON FOR, THIS CAR. IF THERE ISN'T THERE SHOULD BE. [XXX] FIXED NOW WILL I GET REIMBURSED? THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR PANS ARE RUSTING THRU. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A GARAGE KEPT CAR WITH LOW MILES FOR IT'S AGE. THERE IS NO OTHER RUST ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR EXCEPT IN THESE AREAS. THE INSPECTOR NOTED THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR OF THIS AGE AND MILEAGE. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE ODI SITE, I'VE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND STRUCTURAL ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN BY NISSAN FOR YEARS, BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACT UPON IT. THE VEHICLE CAN NOW BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO DRIVE BY FAULT OF DESIGN OF THE MANUFACTURE. PLEASE HAVE AN INVESTIGATOR OPEN A TICKET TO HAVE A RECALL, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, A MANUFACTURE FIX SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE...EVEN THOUGH NISSAN IS STATING THAT IT ISN'T AND THEY WON'T ACT...THIS SHOULD BE A NEGLIGENCE CASE ON THE PART OF NISSAN.

NISSAN WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE RECALL RQO600/RO606.

I OWN 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. I FOUND A HUGE RUSTED HOLE ON THE PASSENGER/RIGHT SIDE FLOOR PAN/FLOORBOARD. MY WIFE FELT VERY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE HOLE IS GETTING BIGGER WHICH CAN CAUSE A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. A LOCAL MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT HE SAW A COUPLE OF CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND IT ESTIMATED AT LEAST $1,500 TO FIX AND FIGURE OUT THE REASON OF WATER LEAKING. I THINK NISSAN HAS TO RECALL THE CARS.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR !

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAY'S ON ALL THE TIME WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING

MY 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS SEVERE CORROSION ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE FLOOR BOARD. I FEAR THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE> NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS YET THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THESE CORROSION ISSUES, CLAIMING THERE ARE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS WERE RUSTED AND HAD HOLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FLOORBOARDS WERE RUSTED, FRACTURED, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000. UPDATED 5/28/15 *TA UPDATED 11/23/2015*JS

THERE IS SEVERE RUST/ROT VISIBLE ON AT LEAST THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WHICH I PURCHASED FROM A CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER AND THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WHY THIS WAS NOT DETECTED DURING A RECENT NYS DMV INSPECTION. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFICIENCY/DEFECT... SEVERE ROT SHOULD NOT OCCUR IN JUST 10 YEARS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO AND THIS REPAIR WILL NOT LIKELY BE COST EFFECTIVE. *TR

FOUND OUT THAT THE SUB-FRAME ASSEMBLY PANELS (FRONT FLOOR PANELS) ARE ROTTING OUT. ISSUE IS IF THEY FAIL CARS TIRES WILL TILT IN AS THE SUSPENSION IS TIDE INTO THE FRONT FLOOR PANELS. *TR
