A/C Malfunction
2013 Nissan Altima (Page 1 of 2)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
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.

AC / heater problem

- Fix Altima AC. It's Not The Compressor - Everyone is being told that to fix this common ac issue, that the compressor needs to be replaced for over 1200$. BUT its not the compressor itself but a 40$ valve that is plugged int the compressor. I made a video on it. Now my car blows colder ac than it did 100k miles ago!!!! Save yourselves the money!

The car started losing cool air around 120k mark, then around 170k it stopped giving cold air at all. Heater still worked but the AC lost all cold air. Given im in the south, the heater isn't that useful for me.
