It was ongoing for a few months. One time was so bad, the car's gearbox even jammed up and there was error on the gear screen display.

But then, magically, a few months later, it stopped happening. And the car is smooth now.

It still mystifies3me what exactly happened. The issue was real. Honda saw the error logs. But couldn't explain it. I went to outaide mechanic, also cannot explain it.

The issue was kinda severe and was happening for a few months.

So glad it went away, on its own. Nothing changed with the car or with how we drive it. No repairs were done.

While i am proub to be the very 1st owner of gm6 during the initial launched back in 2014, i exp the similar condition after 2-3 years. I doubted it as this is my 1st car where i dont go heavy foot.
Somehow it disappeared after long rest during the covid era. It was 60000km ++ mileage

This time, after i changed the cvt oil, big, small filters, and the 3 orings, it felt very smooth initially until recently it come back again wherenever u keep the low speed 20km/hr at around 1 rpm. The higher rpm at that speed dont have such choking incidents. This time 150000km +++ milleage

Did u check the oxygen sensor, butterfly , fuel filter and etc last time?

I had the exact same issue with my City GM6. Complain punya complain sampai akhirat masalah tak settle. Then after they recall and changed the fuel pump, the low speed acceleration juddering issue went away.

Don't think they diagnose it. It was a mass recall of certain bad batch of Honda GM6.

If spark plug or ignition coil, the engine will vibrate because maybe 1 of the cylinder no spark.

If fuel pump or fuel filter, car hard to start or no power climbing hill.

If gearbox slip, rpm raised but car not moving. The car will jerk when shift to D or R or P.

Should be air flow problem, if air filter still clean, try clean throttle body, pcv valve, maf & map sensor. And for honda car, can try clean the easy access Egr valve.

So I am having this issue for a few days now.

At low speeds, when accelerating and at the point the gear shifts, the car seems to jerk. Usually below 30km/h. When it's above 40km/h no issues.

This issue also doesn't always happen. But if I start the car and accelerate out, and I have the issue, then it persists for the rest of the journey. If I start and it's not there, the rest of the journey is smooth.

I went to Honda, they need to book an appointment to do a detailed check next week. They suggest is water...but these past few days I didn't drive my car in rain, and it's park under the roof. I just drove evening. Drive out was smooth. Then second leg of journey it started jerking. Then final leg of journey when I return home, no issue.

Car is 7 yr old, every 6 months service at Honda according to schedule. Last service in November 2024.

Appreciate your help and input as to what the issue is. My fear is the gearbox or driveshaft gone, but the Honda SC say my case unlikely like that.

Gear box might have issue. The rubber seal become hard. Try use Estremo ATF treatment. Might save you for another 20000km to 60000km. Last time keep use treatment until gearbox spoilt and need to change. So far this brand not bad. Try EXN before. Straight gearbox using 1 and 2 only. Then died. My car 2 times change gear box already. 14 years car. Last year change to new recon gearbox. Car mileage 500000 km plus. Gear box spoiled at every 200000km to 250000km. It is normal.
