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.

Went to open my door yesterday and couldn't open. I had to roll the window down to let myself out by the outside handle.

A class action lawyer should sue for all owners of 2013 Nissan Altimas so situated. It should be easy to get certified as a class since this is an obvious defect.
