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.

Altima SV 2.5L

Within a couple of weeks of purchasing this vehicle, noticed brakes were low when pressured. Took it in to dealer and was told that it was normal, that it would get stronger with use but that if it didn't get better to bring it back. Really? A brand new car with low brakes. I believe about 1-2 months later got a Safety Notice for the ABS.
