I was driving on a highway when the transmission started feeling like it was slipping. I pulled over checked all the fluids and everything was fine. I was miles from the nearest town. So I started driving again and 2 miles down the road the transmission light came on. When this happened the car stopped accelerating and started revving up. I turned the hazard on and pulled off onto the side of a busy highway. I tried to accelerate again and the engine reved again. I turned the car off and started it again the transmission light went off. I put the car in reverse and was able to back up to get further over off the road. I tried to put it in drive and the car wouldn't move but the light remained off. I called a tow truck and had to have it towed to a safe location. I took it to a dealer ship and they claimed it was the cvt and it was internal. I would have to have to whole unit replaced. They quoted me around 7,000. My brother-in-law called to get more info and they quoted him around 4,000. There are 108,000 miles on my 2015. So it's over warranty and I felt like they were trying to rip me off. I have seen similar recalls for this type of thing happening. I am concerned for the safety of myself and others with this happening out of nowhere.
