Description of the problem	The car is barely 3 years old and i brought it new with only 8 miles. The car started hesitating while in stop and go traffic on the interstate. That's where i noticed the hesitation first. The issue occurs on the highway, city streets, turning, and car has had issues while in motion. When in stop and go traffic, stopped at a stop sign or have to stop to make a turn the car hesitates about 5-10 seconds and then takes off. This has caused me to almost be in several accidents. I thought it was bad gas so switched gas stations and it stopped for a while and then started back. While driving came to a stop to make a left turn. The car hesitated and then when the turn was complete the car would not accelerate pass 40mph. I came to another stop sign, car hesitated, and car would not accelerate pass 20mph. I had to pull over turn the car off and back on. It started accelerating properly but still with the hesitation from a stop. I took the car to nissan and they did a diagnostic test for $125 which led them to say that the valve body needs to be replaced or the car needs a new cvt. The dealership request another $400 to inspect the transmission to see which way it could be fixed. ($1100 valve body and $4000 cvt replaced. This is very costly and a 2016 car should not need a transmission. There is a known problem with nissan's cvt that i was not aware of until now. Among other things the service advisor advised that this just happens. Well it should not just happen in a 3 year old car.
