After doing research car.com found 2013-14 altimas and rogues have had same issue. 2 days prior before getting my car to dealer to have transmission checked out, I first noticed my rpms revving up and down while on cruise control. Following workday I was at a stop light. Light turned green and cars approaching fast behind me took my vehicle 2,000 rpms to move from stop light almost getting rearended, I was only 1,100 miles over my paid extended warranty communicated with nissan about the issues with the CVT transmission.
