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.
The car has a musty mildew smell. I have allergies to musty and mildew so it is becoming a health issue. This is the second time it has happened. It happened in the spring and now. There was so much rain. help?
We have notified Nissan and they told us they rely on their dealer network to take car of any problems.The first dealer(Peoria Nissan) sluffed us off completely.Yesterday the selling dealer did a two hour inspection of
the car and said they could find no reason for the bad odor. The Service advisor admitted that he had the
complaints from other 2013 Altima owners and it is worse during hot weather. Hey, yesterday it was 109
here in Phoenix. My diagnosis is COOLANT, but the dealer did a pressure check on the system and it was
not leaking. Our garage stinks when the car is inside. Remove the car and no odor! Does anyone know what we can do?
