| Description of the problem | Most of the time that i am accelerating between 20 - 25 mph, the vehicle is shaking. The amount of shake or "shudder"varies from slightly noticeable to very noticeable. The concern here is the reliability of the transmission (cvt) which seems to be slipping. I believe this should be investigated to prevent failure of the transmission while driving in freeways thus preventing a possibility of a crash. |
