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.
there is no dipstick to check transmission fluid level
I can add gas when its low. I can add and/or change the engine oil I can add wiper fluid, brake fluid but if asked if I have transmission fluid, I have to say I don't know. How much transmission oil do I have, I don't know. Not having the dipstick is a very irresponsible move on Nissan's part.
THIS IS ONE OF 17 RECALLS ON OUR 2013 NISSAN ALTMA. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON JULY 10, 2012, RECD CALL FROM DEALER ON AUG 10, 2012. WANTED US TO SWAP CARS BUT WOULD NOT TELL US WHAT WAS WRONG WITH OUR CAR. CALLED CORPORATE THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS AN OPEN CAMPAIGN ON THE VEH. WITH 1 POSSIBLE RECAL. AFTER WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR, WE WERE TOLD THERE ARE 17 RECALLS AND/OR ISSUES ON THE VEH. THE CAR HAD 65 MILES ON IT WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 1569 ON IT. CANT DRIVE IT BECAUSE WE DONT FEEL IT IS SAFE, NISSAN WONT BUY VEH. BACK.
