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.

2013 Nissan Altima Owner Comments

problem #1

Altima SV 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,500 miles

Just purchased the Altima. Had only 1500 miles on it and we were hit on the drivers side right at both doors. The car was repaired at a cost of between $8000 and $9000. We were both injured with lower back and some neck injury from being whipped around. My question is, why didn't the air bags deploy, or at least the drivers side, side air bag?
