When I start in the morning the transmission works fine until it heats up. At that time when I try to pull off from stop the transmission judders and or slips but when in motion I have full speed no problem. CVT transmission.

Yep, they had a problem with these transmissions, but you may be able to save it with a fluid change. You must use the CVT transmission fluid which I will list below. Also, is the check engine light on? If so, you may have an input shaft speed sensor that is going bad.
