My Maxima v6 automatic transmission takes a few seconds to go into gear after backing out of the driveway and shifting from reverse to drive. Is there an issue with the CVT paired up with a v6. I’m leasing the car and would like to buy it when the lease is up.

Rich, don’t waste time on the web. You have a warranty, use it. You are already having a problem so you might want to rethink the buy out thing.
