CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 Nissan Altima has multiple problem trends including the CVT transmission, and now that this model is out of warranty, it earns our "Avoid Like The Plague" badge.

Owners complain about vibration and transmission failure related to the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), a whining noise from the power steering pump, and constant windshield problems that appear to be the result of poor design.

Be warned: the 2014 & 2015 Nissan Altima appears to share these same problems.

WANTED US TO SWAP CARS BUT WOULD NOT TELL US WHAT WAS WRONG WITH OUR CAR. CALLED CORPORATE THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS AN OPEN CAMPAIGN ON THE VEH. WITH 1 POSSIBLE RECAL.

CANT DRIVE IT BECAUSE WE DONT FEEL IT IS SAFE, NISSAN WONT BUY VEH. BACK.
