Nissan X-Trail 2014: Excessive vibration

My 2014 Nissan X-Trail is shuddering and sometimes vibrating at low speeds between 30 km/h and 50 km/h when I accelerate.

It starts shuddering even between 20 km/h and 60 km/h. It starts after driving for a while like an hour, or like 20-25 km. It jerks and vibrates heavily until I release the pedal. Once the pedal is released and pressed again, the car is smooth again. It is very discomforting when this happens, especially when I overtake and the vehicle is shaking.

It sounds like a problem with the Continuously Variable Transmission, and I would suggest you have it serviced and the transmission oil changed.
