Hi Guys,

Im getting sick of this, in traffic, 10-20 MPH, when just touching gas pedal, it jerks front and back which is super annoying, feels like not correct torque is delivered from engine or cvt messing up. its 2.0.

Is this normal? Anyone else experienced it? Any fix for this?

makes me want to get rid of this car.

thanks!

I think this is pretty normal in my experience. I have the 1.5. try coasting more or accelerating for longer if possible. Tapping the gas pedal is always jerky for me at low speeds.

I think that is fairly normal, but normally mine is not that noticeable. Just a soft thud of a shift. Now that's when it's normal. From what I know so far the dealership disconnected my battery during the coolant joint recall and my OBDII was reset, for fair warning for those with CVT's it MESSES THEM UP BAD. Shifting was terrible, not highjacking your thread just telling all those with CVT's to make sure they don't (or the dealer doesn't) disconnect the battery without a tender or you are in for serious shifting, bogging, and stuttering issues until it relearns.

Try turning your VSA off. It might take a few minutes for the computer to relearn and smooth out.

this is one of the reasons i moved back to manual transmission. I was really tired of the 1-2 shift as soon as i moved forward. in the traffic conditions I meet everyday becomes very annoying, the clutch is nothing in comparrison!

Vehicle Stability Assist. It's the button on the dash to the left of the steering wheel.

Before, I wasn't aware of this 'jerking' in low speed traffic...but I'm glad I am aware of it now, I'll definitely keep an eye out. :thumbsup:

Hello,
I'm experiencing the same problem with my Civic 1.6 CVT at low speed. I was thinking about poor fuel quality , but the car is still jerking. The car was checked at the dealer, but nothing abnormal was detected by the scanner. I drove a "drive test" car and found it as jerky, but less so. I have asked for a compression test at the next servicing. Hope everything will be fine.

Regards

I think there should be a recall on this issue -'Jerk & lag'. Hopes HONDA get it.
Does anyone experience front windows rattling? (Try to lower the window to 1cm and knock it with your finger). I think the seals are loose and allow water to enter the doors.
