2013 Nissan ALTIMA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1043925
Internal NHTSA #	10567373
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	18/06/13
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Altima 2. 5l eng. Engine vibrations/cvt shuttering started approx. 3600 miles but has continually gotten worse with more miles (7000 mi 12/31/13). Vibrations felt at 1500-2000 rpm (enough to shake the dash components), then vibration goes away. Slight acceleration under load at 1500-2000 rpm and at any speed (20-30, 40-55, 72 mph) will result in vibrations (everytime). Had nissan service writer ride with me, then he drove the vehicle and confirmed the vibrations. Said to return next week jan 2014 to further document. Guess what, he said they haven't had this problem??? However, this problem has been reported to nissan many times over this past year. I now believe this vibration is coming from the eng not from the cvt since i can feel the vibrations when the vehicle is stopped (in park or in neutral). Nissan has an engineering design problem they have been unable to resolve and fail to admit.
