How many miles on the car, have you ever had the transmission fluid changed?

CVT’s take special fluid. I would take it to the dealer and get it drained and refilled.

The car has done 151 000 miles,yes i have changed the transmission  
fluid but it still does the same thing.i did a diagnosis and it did  
not pick any fault.
