Dear Sifus

I have encounter a problem with my Honda City 1.5L VTEC

My car keeps jerking for a while and when you drive at certain distance, it backs to normal.

Today even worse when I was stopping at the traffic, still under "D" and the jerking starts, even worse when I release my brake and accelerate, it didn't response and jerk heavily, then move.

I sent to Honda USJ service and complain twice but they still can't find the problem.

Anyone encounter this problem?

I tried to drive recently and found not much issue.

But still have this fear of sudden jerking..

Anyone encounter this issue? Yes, it's CVT. One of my friend said could be CVT time up..

But I change the CVT oil every 20,000 km..

Thanks for feedback.

raymond5105,

I complaint this to USJ Honda Service Centre for 3 times and yet still unable to get it done. They say they can't figure out why.

eek-1

It happens when I drive in the morning. When stopped at traffic lights, it will start to jerk (like the car going to died down) This happen when I on D mode.

Also, everytime, I press the brake to slow down, it will also jerk when slowing down.

Is it CVT issue? But Honda recommends to service 40k, I service every 20k.

I just reached 100k

The issue happen around 80,000 km. I suspect Honda service centre knows what happen but refuse to repair it.

when was the last time you changed your spark plugs and cleaned the throttle body?

Thanks bro.

I leave this to my Honda service centre. But dunno why this USJ really did poorly.

Last service cost RM330. Previously cost RM1,500 and another cost RM1,300

Paid, still got problem. Service my front brake, cost RM300++ and feels like no difference.

Change belt, told them to tighten up, cost RM300++ still got the tweeting sound..

Don't go USJ Honda service centre. They are expensive and service sucks. You always need to go back 2nd or 3rd time.

If it ain't because it's near my office, I surely don't give them service.

BTW, hope the new City don't have this issue. After this, kinda lost confidence in CVT.. cry.gif

Sold my car already.

Went to USJ SC. Say spark plug problem. I say it happen before I changed it. Then say is throttle problem.

I'd say forget it and I'll come take the car. Obviously, the SC say must charge me RM80 for labor charge, which is check only.

Went to another SC. Sumber Auto. Also dunno what happen. Went to trusted workshop. Also no solution..

Sell the car already.
