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.

We drove from Houston to Detroit, my husband smelled oil burning, or more like the car smelled as it were running hot! I took the car in thank God, it was covered under the warranty! At @ 28,000miles why was this even an issue?
