The Lurch
Used new to me ‘14 Accord S - 110,000 mi - last CVT service: 92,000 mi.
Symptoms: lurching, pulling, delay at low speeds, after decelerating. Rubber band like/ uncertain gear.
Notes:
- I’ve never owned CVT car before.
- it’s not un-drivable, but occurs mostly when “taxing” or slowing down after highway.
- Once had delayed acceleration when I accelerated hard.
- Oil change tech once checked and said my fluid was dirty (could have been trying to upsell)
- Independent mechanic drove car and did not notice anything (had not mentioned it to him)
Questions:
- Should I get my transmission serviced/flushed then see? (It’s about 10,000 mi before Honda’s rec.)
- How common is this?
- Should I consider new spark plugs?
