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.

2013 Nissan Altima Owner Comments

problem #1

Altima SV 4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31,000 miles

This is my 5th Nissan vehicle. I have never had any issues in the past with Nissan. I bought my Altima brand new in 2013. I am furious to see so many of the same complaints and problems with the 2013 Altima. My vehicle just rolled over 31,000 miles. It is ridiculous that I am looking at a $2500 bill to have repairs of this nature, with such low mileage. I feel that it is unacceptable that Nissan has not acknowledged this issue as a recall. I will be writing the Nissan corporation.
