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.

While at Food Lion, I tried to unlock the driver door with the button on the handle bar but there was no noise and the door wouldn't open. Then I tried to use my automatic key opener and it also didn't work. I waited a few minutes and prayed to God and the automatic door unlock key worked.
