My 2013 Nissan Altima SV 2.5L at 100K out of no where stalled at a red light. There were no warning signs, and no problems prior. Went to the dealership and was told that the CVT Transmissions are junk, and that the torque converter is seizing up. Don't worry though, Nissan makes sure that neither the dealer or consumer can replace this part, without replacing the entire transmission. Their design does not allow for the converter to be replaced, which means a brand new transmission must be put it. I cannot believe Nissan only put the extended 120K warranty up to 2010, now I am out thousands of dollars with a car that does not run.

3rd Altima and the Best

As the title says, this is our 3rd Altima and by far the best. We have 3400 miles on the car and have taken a trip in the car and are still amazed on the overall design, and comfort this car has. The MPG has been stealer, combined we are averaging 33, and on our trip to California we got 38 on the highway. No trips to the dealer and no mechanical problems.

Great Vehicle but need some Updates

I've a 2013 Nissan SV which is a great vehicle and i love it. I wasn't a fan of Nissan vehicle but the new design gave me a push in buying it and also giving it a surprise gift to my lovely mom. The vehicle is fun to drive, with its great interior features and liability. Everything is top of class for its own level compared to other vehicle such as Honda, Toyota. Despite that, i think a few things needs to be made such as the Brake Light System & Air Bag System. The Air Bag System is finally fixed & i'm glad the dealership saw that i wasn't creating stuff up. Next fixing should be the Brake Light System because I've changed my Nissan 3 times. Other than that, vehicle is Awesome.
A solid average car

The Altima does what you'd expect it to do, it gets from point A to point B. It does this without any extra special anything, except gas mileage, that I would say is it's most redeeming quality...which is a big one and the main reason I bought the car. I have 136K on it, so I've spent a lot of time behind the wheel. I have replaced the rear brakes and I'm about to replace the front...yes the rear wore through first. I have also replaced, the door handle, yes the door handle broke from the inside...it's plastic in there I'm told. The largest replacement cost was the A/C compressor...over $1000, so that's offsetting all those fuel gains. So if you are looking for a car that just gets the job done, you've got a good candidate here. 193K on the clock now, still a good average car

Good and Bad. Good exterior, good seat, ok price. Bad driving train, but wasn't it the most important part of a car? It vibrates violently at RPM 1200~1800, pain to drive since it is mostly used RPM range. It doesn't happen to 2012 Altima rented, so a regression for 2013. I am disappointed also at Nissan's slow reaction to this well-known issue. Two new cars test-drived later at dealership had the same problems. So came on, Nissan, do it back to 2012, ok? 2013 Altima owners, please do ourselves a favor to file complaint at https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/index.xhtml
