Cvt transmission is warmed up after driving for 20 minutes. Once warm, from a complete stop, I lightly accelerate to move forward and the car hesitates like I am not even press on the accelerator so I press harder almost to the floor when the car finally and suddenly accelerates out of control almost causing an accident. This situation happens is a constant problem for the past month. Another problem is that you can be on the freeway driving at 60mph and just loose all power and cant accelerate. I took it to the dealership and they say cant replicate the problem and to just leave it with them to see if they check engine light comes on, but I had already explained that the light has never came on. The service advisor stated that if the light doesn't come on and they don't get a "code" from it that they cant fix the problem under warranty even though nissan knows that their is an issue with the CVT so they extended the warranty on the vehicle.
