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.
Transmission is slipping after 52k miles.
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.
