Is this normal....

[Rickmeister 48]

Ok, this car is going to be gone in a few weeks,but I want to know if this is normal in case the next one does it
Any way, when I turn off the climate control completely with the button, the car vibrates at LOT when sitting still. Can't tell if its doing it while I'm moving but for sure when stopped, soon as you turn on the climate control, it stops.

CVT? i wont say its normal but it's a normal thing that happens on all the CVT
It idles too low in gear but with the a/c on. it will bump the idle high enough

Any vibration like that is not normal. It's odd that it happens when you turn it off. Do you notice any lack of power? Vibration when your are standing still is usually a misfire.

No it isn't normal. Ive turned my climate control completely off while idling a bunch of times and there is no difference in vibration. Sounds like it's good that you're getting rid of that car in a few weeks, seems like that car has a lot of underlying issues.

do a search on the forums... this has been on going since the car came out. It idles too low with the climate control off while in gear. It doesn't always do it but when it does. it shakes the car

Not gonna lie, I thought this was a joke when I saw the OP and thread title before opening it up.

Yeah just searched it up, interesting. Its never happened to me before but now next time CC is off and the car is still i'll be looking out for it.

Motor mount maybe.

You just don't know the stuff it's started doing in the last few weeks, I just don't post about cause there is no need at this point,plus I don't want anyone thinking I'm whining,or being a PITA.
In all seriousness though, this is the first time I ever just turned it completely off and noticed it so I didn't know if it was normal or no. Now I do,so its one more thing ill be checking before I leave with the new one

Its normal behavior even though it shouldn't be - the AC might help but I notice it the most on cold winter days, start the car and it will idle high since the engine is cold, put it into gear with the CVT, and the idle drops. It won't stall but you can tell the idle is too low. Just bad tuning really, probably more of that tree huggery going on with Honda.

This didn't have anything to do with the a.c. though. It doesn't do it with just the fan blowing,once I shut the fan off,then it does it.

Does your Climate control have to the option to specifically turn the A/C off? On my Touring, even when I turn off Auto, the A/C compressor is still controlled automatically, unless I specifically choose On or Off. (By default, neither the On or Off button is selected.)

Yea, I can turn the a.c. off by using the touch screen and it also goes off with the main push button .

So, you are saying that with the Fan ON, and the A/C turned OFF, it doesn't happen?
