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.

2013 Nissan Altima Owner Comments

problem #1

Mar 012013

Altima SL 2.5L

  • CVT transmission
  • 2,000 miles

I have the new 2.5SL with Navi, Spoiler, Ground Lights, And the illuminated kick plates. I noticed that when it rains there are water and moisture bubbles underneathe the clear part of the kickplates. I feel that they were not sealed properly because water and electrical should never mix, I left a message for my service manager and again i have not heard back in over a week.
