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.

2013 Nissan Altima Owner Comments

Altima S 2.5L

I have read a lot of complaints about the same problem of a melting dash and the consumer is having to replace. I do not have the money to fix this and right now it is only causing visual issues and stickiness. However if it gets worse I cannot afford to fix on my own. I just bought this 2013 Nissan Altima in the end of April 2014 and in just 3 months time I am having issues. This does not seem like good business practice for the dealership to not recall this issue.
