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.
I have owned 5 cars over my lifetime, prior owner of Nissan Altima and never experienced the problem of leaves being "sucked" into the blower assembly, which I have experienced twice so far with 2013 Nissan Altima. Nissan needs to issue a recall and add mesh or some other protective material to prevent this problem.
Update from Jun 10, 2015: Nashida C - answering your question. When I turned on the AC it made a loud noise. This happened 3 times and each time they needed to take apart the dash/glove box area to access the blower assembly to remove a leaf. I was told that the leaf gets sucked in from the windshield, I try to remove all leaves before driving but that didn't prevent the problem from repeating.
