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.

No way could the same problem happen a second time the next day. I am on my way to the grocery store and come to a red light and my car shuts off AGAIN....Because this happened the day before. I already know what to do...coast until you stop (I hit the curb pretty bad this time), I slammed on brakes, because my brakes weren't working at all, threw the car in park and waited about 30 seconds to turn it off. But it is Sunday and NOTHING is open, my dealership is closed and I am lost to a solution. What about if I am on the highway? I am clearly a danger in this vehicle. I could be harmed or harm someone else.
