I own a 2017 nissan versa note and the CVT transmission feels sluggish and acts as if it is slipping. It revs up high but does not accelerate quickly. Then the car catches up and begins to pick up speed. I must accelerate hard to get up to highway speed and the engine sounds as if it is accelerating than decelerating. I get the same problem when accelerating from a stop light in city traffic. I believe this CVT has had recalls on it but I don't see any on my particular vehicle.

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.
