I have a 2016 Qashqai Tekna 1.2 petrol with a CVT box. Only done 35k. Purchased 3 years ago, with only 21k on the clock. In the last 6 months I have experienced the occasional judder at low speed, when accelerating from just above a standstill. Also once or twice I have heard a squealing sound on gradual acceleration from slow speed. The car is fine on the move and doesn't give any problems then. Anyone got any clues what might be the problem. I have read so many horror stories about the Nissan CVT, I'm getting scared to take it to our local Nissan dealer! I have only used them twice when I had Renaults (both times they screwed up the mpg on a Laguna and a Scenic!! The Laguna went from 35mpg to 28mpg and the Scenic went from 40mpg to 25mpg!!) and once for a rear door lock recall on the Qashqai last year when somehow they managed to get the RH side mirror indicator repeater to stop working!

Welcome to the forum.

As someone with zero technical knowledge my first move would be to find a local gearbox specialist and look for a diagnosis
