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.

Front brake rotors have excessive run out. Dealer wants to machine rotors to correct problem. Claims TSB from Nissan only allows machining. Removing more material from the rotor only makes the lifetime of the rotor reduced giving more problems later. They claim this is a wear problem. It is not. It is a defect. Rotors should not distort under normal driving conditions.
