| Description of the problem | After buying the car in late 2019, it came to my attention that the cvt transmission was faulty. I later found that the year, model, and make of my vehicle was included in a recall of the cvt transmissions, among other saftey issues. After having the vehicle inspected by three different shops, the conclusion was made that it was indeed the cvt transmission and stepper motor causing the problems. Upon further examination, it was found that my vehicle has not had a recall replacement of the faulty parts as of yet. The car has only 96k miles on it. When the issue arises, the transmission goes into a "safe" mode. This mode creates a throttle problem as the vehicle cannot travel faster than 40 mph without a high pitch wind up sound and a cut in power of almost 50%. |
