| Description of the problem | The cvt transmission is stuttering between gears, has hesitation, vibrations, and does not shift properly. I took the vehicle to a nissan dealer on 11/15/2017 with 76k miles and they told me i needed to change the transmission fluid. I had them change the fluid and the transmission was worse. The problem got a little better, but never went away. It never generated a code for a specific problem, but the service advisor said there is a problem with the transmission thinking it is in overdrive and not reacting properly. It is now a year later and another 30k miles and the transmission is still stuttering with vibrations at every speed and even on cruise control. |
