That would probably not happen so soon.

The problem is ignorant drivers, they were taking their cars back because they didn't feel a shift and thought something was wrong. So some CVTs were programmed to make a shift feel, and thus are operating less efficiently. And some people didn't like the "stretching" feeling, which I think is ridiculous, I've driven a Nissan Altima hybrid with a CVT, and it felt fine.
Some folks seem to not have anthing better to do than just complain about anything like they're never satisfied
