My care was shuttering and not shifting up and down as should. The car would shake and pause at take off. Could not accelerate properly or safely to get on high ways or on normal roads. When driving the vehicle it seems to want to shut off at times and pauses when accelerating the gas pedal. Very dangerous and the transmission is not good. I took it to dealer january 2018 and it was reprogrammed but it went right back to doing the same, slipping,shuttering shaking,pausing durring accelerating, on highway, during turns and going from complete stop, and while driving on city roads. Took back to dealer had diagnosed and its said to need a new transmission. Manufacturer refuses to fix their defective CVT transmission.. The car has had it's normal services.

I got my 2014 nissan versa note as a christmas gift from my parents in 2015. My parents did lots of research and was ensured that it was a safe and reliable car for a first time driver. Unfortunately this car has caused me many time consuming problems. I drive a lot to commute to my work. I've been having problems with nasty exhaust smells, slipping gears, delayed shifting, breaks delayed and grinding, and RPM"s shooting up when barely gasses. My commute is quite dangerous with heavy traffic and loads of semis passing one another. It really worries me and makes my fear for my safety when I've been having all of these problems I really shouldn't have with this new of a car. Bakersfield nissan had my car trying to fix it for a week and a half really putting a monkey wrench with my commute to work. They eventually had to replace the transmission and cv boot. Now I am having new problems and lots of grinding and rattling. They told me my car failed to replicate anything but the RPM"s shooting up. It really frustrates me knowing this car only has 50,000 miles on it!!!!!!! Please help me figure this out

Cvt started slipping as seen by tachometer jumping up and hearing the engine rev up as I went up a small hill (much like if I had a clutch to push in on a regular transmission) later that day on the way home on the interstate on level road did the same thing. Pulling up a small hill as I proceed to the dealership and giving it gas to get up that hill, CVT made a very loud 'thump' (like I popped the clutch). Car is not safe to drive now. Car has only 51,000 miles on it.
