In owners’ own words
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseFiled with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the transmission and drivetrain. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.
After I paid for the Reset and pulled out of the CS garage my vehicle started jerking and grabbing. I took the CS representative in my vehicle and Jackie felt this. The issue could not be found. I took the auto back and now I received paperwork saying that the issue could not be duplicated.
The transmission is rattling and affecting the acceleration ability. It feels like the car is stuck in first gear
Transmission failure. While driving on the expressway my speed (while set in cruise control) began to fluctuate. The RPMs dropping then rising and the car jerking. I exited the expressway and stopped for a red light.
*Updating earlier entry* Loss of speed while on cruise control, no forward movement while at a stop and no ability to reverse. Local mechanic confirmed transmission failure. Specific code "CVT Judder P17F0". Claims only transmissions manufactured within a certain area qualified for replacement.
The entire time I have owned the car, there have been periods of time where I did not get sufficient power relative to how hard I was pressing the gas pedal. It did not happen with great frequency and the dealership didn't seem to think it was a concern when I brought it up to them.

What does NHTSA's "Power Train" heading cover?
The transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, axles and differentials — NHTSA files them under one heading. Owners choose the heading when they file, so it says which area of the vehicle the complaint is about, not which part failed.
