Car is experiencing loss of power when accelerating in automatic mode and shuddering when the engine won’t give enough power. It drives smoothly in manual mode.

Yep, this is common with these cars, I would try to service the CVT fluid which can help, and we should run the codes to see if any are stored.

Transmission Fluid

Type .................... Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid NS-2*

*Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid NS-2. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT transmission, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
