transmission felt as if it was slipping into different gears while driving forward. pulled vehicle over put it in park and then put it in reverse- at that time the vehicle went forward instead of reverse. at that time the vehicle was put into park and turned off. Waited a few minutes and then turned vehicle back on, put it into drive and it took 10 sec to drive forward I then put the vehicle in reverse and the same thing happened, it took 10 seconds to move in reverse. took the vehicle in and the repair man said it was the CVT- I have 93K miles on the car. It has been in storage since July 2020.

Cvt transmission shutters, slips and shuts down the engine when stopping. Diagnostic was performed at dealership and resulted in bad transmission. Also passenger airbag deactivates intermittently even while someone is sitting

Car shudders, idles up and down, loses power while driving. When accelerating, the tachometer will raise to 4500-5000 rpms with no real power supplied to the car, and will only slowly accelerate(slipping?) tachometer bounces up and down within 100rpm range while coasting. My CVT is about to fail.

Don't have to really say much because it's pretty much all over the internet but that transmission is a piece of junk!! It was slipping repeatedly from around 50,000-104,000 when I got rid of it. It would also stall out (yes on a CVT) from time to time in stop and go traffic. It got to a point that I was scared I was going to be stuck with a car with no resale valve (because of the transmission) and owe a $14,000 payoff balance with the bank. So I traded it in and got a f-150.I believe all jatco transmissions should go under an investigation because this is not safe for american roads.

Last year CVT was slipping, delayed acceleration when at a stop light then trying to drive, they updated software. Same thing happened out of nowhere the other day. No prior transmission issues and the car had delayed acceleration twice when I stopped at lights, then minutes later I turn onto a busy street and the CVT transmission slipped, causing my car to rev up to 4rpm but barely go 20 MPH. Being told by nissan the entire transmission needs to be replaced. Only has 82000 miles. No prior transmission issues.

While traveling at 65 MPH on the highway, the rpms began jumping. It was acting like the transmission was slipping. Then after stopping, the transmission took several seconds to go into gear. A short time later, the car would not accelerate over 60mph. Took to the dealer and they said the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The car had under 20,000 miles on it. I have read that this is a very common problem with nissan CVT transmissions and some owners have had their transmissions replaced 5 times.
