Vibration when accelerating

Hey guys, I have a 2018 SL 43000 miles. When I’m driving around town at around 40-45 mph I’m aware the cvt is in its lowest gear (if they have gears) I’m not to familiar with them. With that being said once I accelerate from that speed I’m getting a terrible vibration felt through the drivers seat and with the luxury of this car I wouldn’t think this is normal. I was hoping I could get some feed back. Thanks in advance

you still have warranty coverage on the CVT
so I would go to the dealer and have them read the codes that may be hidden from the dash light. On my 2016 Maxima, at 37000 miles, I had a bad valve assembly that was replaced N/C. Once done all was much smoother with light throttle application.

thanks for the reply really appreciate it. I actually just had the valve body replaced a month ago due to stopping hard. What I’m experiencing is this annoying vibration in my drivers seat at 1000 1500 rpm’s when the engine is under a load and acceleration. The dealership told me this was normal yesterday when I picked it up. Couldn’t find anything wrong! So frustrating.
