I have put over 70K on my Altima since purchasing in July 2013. Most of the miles are road miles. The original Michelins are still on the car and should be good for another 4 to 5000 miles by appearance. The one major complaint that I have had with the car was recently fixed. The annoying 20 to 40 mph rattle/groan from the right front side of the car. After a lot of research and speaking with a Nissan mechanic at another dealership, I got my hands on the service bulletin that described the problem and appropriate repairs. I after talking with my dealer and Nissan corporate, I was able to negotiate 50% payment to replace the alternator. The car is so much quieter and smoother since. Otherwise, the car has been great. Gas mileage is super.

We bought our 2013 Altima S in Dec. 2012. Big mistake. It has been back to the dealership 3 times. Trips to correct passenger side airbag and seatbelt warning light malfunctions. This Altima is one that has the high whine from the power steering pump. The dealership said it is "normal". If this is "normal" why are only some affected? They refused to even attempt a resolution. I opened a case with Nissan customer service; they refused to do anything. The whine is so irritating! Nissan is aware, but does nothing. The transmission is extremely noisy; unfortunately that is a trade off for better gas mileage. If you like a noisy car and want a constant annoying whine, buy the car.

What To Expect After You Buy

To those considering this car, I suggest you do a search on 2013 Altima CVT problems. YouÂll find a wealth of detail on what buyers are experiencing. For me, the widely reported vibration problem surfaced near 1000 miles. The dealer keeps insisting that it is a normal for a car with a CVT and refuses to repair. That stance is deceptive because the problem didnÂt develop until the car had miles. None of the documentation for the car discloses that this is expected to occur. The repeated response Nissan Customer Care is Âwork with your dealer to resolveÂ. The car offers some compelling features. ItÂs unfortunate this flaw combined with poor customer support makes it a very bad purchase
Issue at High Speed

I have a 2013 Altima 2.5s. I feel as though I am loosing control of the car when I reached 65 MPG and up. I am scared that I will cause a serious accident because I don't feel like I have control of the car at times. The car is also wobble when driving on the expressway at a lower speed. I am wondering if anyone else is experience the same issue. I've driven my wife ford fusion for a month, and I have never had that issue

excellent buyDependable quiet economical ride that is conomical, mixed driving of 28+mpg, 34 on straight interstate, really like cvt transmission.over 5 years, no problems, big car ride and feel, high mpg you would expect from a small car. eventho white is a common color, mine is much more attractive than a camry. my s version sound system is above average, motor & excelleration is peppy,zippy & quiet. interior trim is above average, my leg rom for a 6'-3" guy is outstanding. excellent braking this is my third altima since 1997, my next one will probally be an altima,too.I now have over122,00 miles and still feel the same about my altima. for a 4 door, it looks sharp and I feel sporty driving it. It still looks as good as the newer models. it does respond well to turtle-wax ice polish and appreciates the fluid changes and fills. no problems. or strange lingeringmalfunctions. great purchase.
