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.

water leakage in engine block water leakage in engine block

Don't buy this car, it is a disaster , The Dealer is requesting $1000 just to disassemble and pull the engine out of the car to take the engine block out and investigate why it this hole happened and what needs to be fixed.

it is a core manufacturing problem , how could a car with 38,000 KM with maintenance done every 5000KM have such problem.

Please I am advising you don't go to Nissan ever .
