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.

hazy film can't be removed

There is a film on the windshield that gets worse as time goes by. I have tried everything - cleaners, buffing solution , baking soda and even tried scraping it with a razor blade but its like its inside the glass and won't come off. It is very difficult to see at night or anytime there is sunshine or other direct light such as headlights coming your way - very frustrating and dangerous.
