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.

This is for sure a CVT related issue, it happens around 40mph after first startup when the engine is cold. If you press the throttle a little harder then the issue goes away, but to me it shouldn't be vibrating and shuddering in the first place.
