Honda Civic 10th gen Civic 10th - Brazilian Civic CVT is very weak in reverse gear 20525208_1496381320400240_250292449676638555_n




The car does not have enough strength to climb the garage. The RPM is stagnant at 2000rpm, and the car does not move anything backwards.
The car has no problems, and is accelerated strongly, but does not move.
Several drivers report similar problem in the reverse condition and have to climb back. Could anyone reproduce this scenario and see if it also occurs in your country with the Civic 10th? What could be happening?
More details on Facebook group "Novo Honda Civic 2017" is a Brazilian Group.

that's pretty steep, but anyway the car should be able to reverse. Do not overheat the transmission keeping high revs with the car stuck.
I did reverse on steep inclines without problems, but i have the manual transmission

Holy sheet that is steep!

It looks like it's 30-35 degrees. That's like a flight of stairs!

Honda might have 2000rpm limit in reverse or at 0mph with the CVT to protect the transmission. Inder 5mph i think it uses a small torque converter or automated clutch or some sort.
