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.

Nissan has supposedly had multiple complaints about this issue, yet fail to do a recall. To add to that, instead of just being able to replace a solenoid, Nissan [in their infinite $$ making wisdom] makes it so you have to replace the entire gear shift. Shame!
