During acceleration, vehicle has a jerkiness/shutter feeling throughout compartment.
No warning lights,no issues that car was having any problems 4/20/25, next day I backed out driveway, put into drive, transmission would not engage drive? Managed to roll and park it. Then steering wheel lost power, bunch of warnings appeared, car shut down? Turned on today, 4/22/25 but no power steering? And no drive engagement. Called nissan tunersville, also received LETTER LAST WEEK ABOUT CTV, but cant find letter yet? Saw tons of same issue on line? Dealer said not recall? Yet all over internet coverage problems? I havnt had it towed yet for mechanic to check out.
When you take off the transmission hesitates and then seems to jump a little. My car has 80,000 miles on it. When I purchased the car it had 22,000 miles on it with this being an ongoing issue. I am now very concerned that this could get even worse causing an accident. I had no idea why this was happening as I have never owned a Nissan before. I just read online that this is common in Nissans for my year car and I can file a complaint with NHTSA.

I TOOK IT TO KERRY NISSAN IN FLORENCE AND THE TECH ACTED LIKE I WAS IMAGINING THINGS, SINCE THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO REPEAT THE ACTION. IT'S HAPPENED OFF AND ON SINCE THEN, AND BASED OFF THE TECHS REACTION, THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. ABOUT A WEEK AGO IT BEGAN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, LIKE ON EVERY TURN, AND I STARTED GETTING WORRIED THAT I WAS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, SO I TOOK IT BACK IT TO KERRY, IT WAS AT 62,000 MILES. THEY CALLED ME ON MONDAY 4/25 AND SAID MY TRANSMISSION WAS BAD, THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK WITH AN ERROR CODE, CVT JUDDER. THEY...
