Description of the problem	Car has developed a terrible wobble or shimmy between 30 and 40 mph. Nissan maintains it is in the cvt transmission . I have had the car into dealer many, many times.. No solution. But, all agree the car wobbles and shimmies at 30-40 mph. I have had nissan engineers drive car, same result;. Nothing. I have written to nissan corporate offices, no solution. Told by nissan that my driving style may be too conservative for car. Told by nissan execs to drive car harder and faster and avoid speeds between 30 and 40 mph. How absurd. Nissan says there is no solution, so live with it. This car is a danger. What will happen on snow and ice. The consumer stated the transmission was reprogrammed several times, but to no avail.
