we have seen several customers complaining about the belt noise. Nissan finally put out a bulletin for this issue on Thursday. NTB# 13-040... The fix is replacing the belt tensioner. This has been in talks for several weeks and the bulletin is finally out. Take it in to your dealer and if its under warranty, they'll put a tensioner on it!

That's great news on the whine! Thank you Jacarter220.
I also contacted Nissan on the unsuccessful replacement of the belt tensioner and they are sending out a tech. I will post the results |

Update - Just got a call from Nissan and they informed me they do have new counter measures coming out at the end of april regarding the shudder and vibration. These are different from the original solution of changing the belt tensioner. They have scheduled me at the dealer on May 7th. I will post the results.
Update- Fix was a one way clutch alternator + pulley + belt change. It's been over a month and I can say that the fix is working so far. Nissan was very responsive but had limited parts and the fix was implemented in May. I believe there is a technical bulletin out there. The vehicle is running smooth. Also, the steering wheel noise was mitigated and is no longer an issue. Thanks all for you help Last edited by Sewata; 06-26-2013 at 05:15 AM. Reason: update |

Thanks for your support jagger and sorry to hear what you had to go through. I'm glad you found another vehicle that you like. I test drove the Accord last week. It was a very nice ride and I could feel the difference in the CVT's. It was smoother but not as sporty. The interior did not match the Altima and i felt very old driving it compared to the Altima cockpit feel. I really like the Altima and will give them the benefit of the doubt until may. Otherwise I will most likely follow your path.
Also, I am experiencing the slosh as well and will point it out to the tech. Most manufactures have issues on new models. I looked at the Honda accord forum and they had plenty off issues; including brake squeak, cvt complaints, engine vibration and pull. The Altima i am driving is one of the first to come out. Manufacture date is June 2012. Thanks and best of luck Last edited by Sewata; 04-09-2013 at 10:51 AM. Reason: adding info about honda accord issues to be fair to nissan |

Can someone upload service bulletin NTB13-040 to this forum? I wanted to take a look to see what the service procedure is for this issue.
