yea its the CVT for sure , ummm alignment maybe not sure check axles, hell take it to a dealer and find out what the problem is since everything everyone is telling you to check you checked.

I took it to the dealer and they found nothing wrong.It also vibrates on the highway to mainly on the right side.They balance the tires and still no change twice.

I went through this before, was at all speed though. Turned out the guy that did my alignment did a half-*** job.

Did you get the tire balanced and aligned at the same place? Also, if you had the tires on before alignment was done, they could have been worn unevenly.

If it isn't that, if the front axle is bent you would feel it in the steering wheel. The rear you wouldn't but you would feel it all the time. Does it reduce when you turn at all?

I am sure it isn't the CVT, The easy check is to while moving, pop it into neutral, if it wobbles, not CVT.

Is it only low speed? Or high speed as well? Could be alignment but if you haven't done that the tires maybe worn so they will still vibrate (but that is more obvious in high speed)... so that is strange...

Are you the original owner? Ever hit a huge pothole?

I had this same problem a few years ago and it turned out to be a broken belt in one of the tires. It would balance out ok but had a small wobble when spun for the balancing. Replaced the one tire and the wobble went away. Good luck and let us know what was the solution.

When I was having a similar issue, I got another Nissan service department to take a look at it. Said specifically, that I worked with x-dealer/service and this issue is still not resolved.

If it isn't the alignment, than I would say axle but there isn't a way to confirm that without a full on facility to test it. Sadly, certification only really addresses catastrophic car failures, this is more comfort, but I get it; we all want it perfect, especially if you just got it recently... I would recommend getting a second opinion from another Nissan service. Sorry if that is no help.

The only other thing you may try is have the dealer swap the tires from another vehicle and then drive it. If the problem persists then it is not the tires and you have eliminated one variable.
