Hey guys I have been dealing with something that might not be a problem but I can't find anything about it online and wanted to hear what you guys had to say.
My car is a 2016 Honda Civic EX 2.0 w/CVT i have had it 3.5 years and it has 36,000 miles. I have serviced the CVT at 30,000 at my dealership.
My car is entirely stock except for swapping my muffler and resonator.
What is concerning me is when accelerating while in D the car doesn't accelerate smoothly, the RPMs rise and fall when attempting to get up to speed, it is almost jerky or rubber banding in a sense. Since my exhaust is loud this is very noticeable and very embarrassing to hear because it does not sound good. If I accelerate while in S my car accelerates smoothly and I do not notice any problems. I have driven my car in S most of it's life and I am not sure if that is the cause of my concern because I have worn my CVT out or if I'm just not used to the way that my car accelerates while in D and I need to get used to the pedal response while in D.
I have brought these concerns to the dealership and they have assured me that they do not see a problem in their test drives. I have tried to look online for anyone having the same concern as me but I have not had luck. Has anyone hear experienced this or am I the only one? How are the rest of the 2.0 CVTs holding up out there?
