Car suddenly starts whining everyday now on low gears. CVT transmission is going out at 96k mi, alerting me with the whining sound.

The car has left me stalled in the oncoming lanes while making left turns across traffic. Giving it gas does not register to the wheels until a solid 2 or 3 seconds later. In other words, if you need to gas it across traffic or merge onto a freeway you may have no power enough to go and there is high chance of being hit and dying (too many close calls this month alone). I'm now forced to go way overboard with caution when traveling anywhere.
