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 SL 3.5L

My left blinker blinks three times after I make a right turn using my right blinker. It is so strange. The dealer said they couldn't replicate so I let it go. This is one of the many issues I have had with this car and I only have 30K miles on it. Looking for a new car to buy and it won't be a Nissan. Can't wait to trade in this lemon.
