Owner report 11267786 · 2019-10-10 (October 10, 2019)

I OWN A 2017 NISSAN VERSA NOTE AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION FEELS SLUGGISH AND ACTS AS IF IT IS SLIPPING. IT REVS UP HIGH BUT DOES NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY. THEN THE CAR CATCHES UP AND BEGINS TO PICK UP SPEED. I MUST ACCELERATE HARD TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE ENGINE SOUNDS AS IF IT IS ACCELERATING THAN DECELERATING. I GET THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT IN CITY TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THIS CVT HAS HAD RECALLS ON IT BUT I DON'T SEE ANY ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE.
