Shifter/Cover Makes Crunching Noise

CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

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

  • CVT transmission
  • 68,000 miles

It honestly sounds and feels like there is damage to the (plastic?) under where the shifter goes. There is that decorative slide cover that fills in around the shifter and it makes a mild crunch/grind sound like there is cracked plastic. Also it feels different when I put it into gear.
