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.

Not sure of when this particular issue was detected but definitely within 1 year of ownership that my rear shocks were leaking. Have not to this date gotten them fixed because it costs too much. Out of all the times I've taken my vehicle in, this problem has only been brought to my attention 2 times. If service was really doing their job it would be noted each time I visit. In any case, another problem with my so-called "new" vehicle. My poor passengers have a very rough ride. I continue fighting with Nissan (both dealer where purchase was made and Corp) and nothing. I need a Secret Santa to help me. I didn't get into a sales contract for a new vehicle where I have to have major parts replaced every 6 mo-1 year. My payments are high enough without having the headaches of this vehicle.
