I have the car listed above, its having problems driving faster than 5 MPH, it makes a clunk when putting it from park to rev and sport mode, eco mode, and od won't work. And in park the car won't rev up while pushing on the gas pedal.

The description unfortunately sounds like the CVT has failed internally and the converter isn't allowing the engine to gain rpms as it should. The only real repair is replacing the transmission. For this you need to remove the complete engine and transmission unit out through the bottom of the vehicle, then split the CVT from the engine once it is out. The images attached are the removal steps to get it out. The images just save a lot of typing. Once out you could have it rebuilt or get a remanufactured unit that can be installed without waiting for yours.
