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.

Well I would like to say that the wipers that have come stock on my new 2013 nissan altima are a bad quality. I f there is the littlest thing on your windshield(mine was a little pollen ball from a tree) it will leave a water streak mark where the item lays. this makes the visability very poor. I am upset with how much money i spent on this vehicle to have as many problems as i have. I want nissan to step up and fix their problems.

Update from May 28, 2013: What I mean by this is that i have some pollen on my windshiled and when it is raining or i use wiper fluid to clean it or to operate my wipers it will move up until it gets to where the pollen is and the pollen gets stuck underneath of it and then does not wipe the water or claener from the windshield and it impaires my visability.
