One time I had started the car and the issue was there, and twice I was at a stop, went to go and it wouldnt. Wasn't doing anything like turning or anything. Reverse same issue, won't go forwards or reverse.

 

Cvt. Wasn't doing anything but driving on the side streets. Stopped, went to go and wouldnt move. When I pressed on the accelerator, white smoke came out of the exhaust. Had it towed to a shop, they drove it and said no issue. I parked and went to work yhe next mornong. Got to work fine but when I got into the parking lot it did it again and has been sitting since august.

 

Sounds like the trans is not getting the signal to engage , so it might be a good idea to do a visual inspection of all the wiring going to the trans. There might be a corroded or loose connection.

The white smoke is a concern because it might be because CVT fluid or coolant is getting into the combustion chambers of the engine.

 

No forward and no reverse shown below. If you need the others check pdf attached below.

 

Not sure so,,,,,,,,,,take a look at the front of your radiator and just below there, let us know if you see a a smaller type radiator wiith lines going to the trans,which would be the trans fluid cooler. Get back to us , thanks.

Sometimes the lines go to the side or bottom of the engine radiator. `We are not concerned with trans fluid temp, but something else.
