Here Are Common CVT Transmission Problems In Honda by AutoReportNG: 9:21am On Mar 21, 2018
Apart from Toyota, Honda remains one of the most popular cars in Nigeria, this is due to its affordability, maintenance and its spare parts are easy to find. Using a Honda car has its ups and downs, some have sworn never to buy anything Honda while some can't drive a car that is not this brand, different specs for different folks. Honda cars released during 1999-2004, usually face transmission issues. Car models such as Accord, Civic, and Odyssey are the worst example of Honda CVT transmission problems. Because of CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), a car may stop working properly. If you find that car jerks while accelerating, it is a sign of transmission issue.

What Causes the Honda CVT Transmission Problems?

CVT is an automatic car transmission system using a belt and pulley for an unrestricted range of gear ratio. It is the part of a car that turns engine rotations into torque; allowing one to drive at variable speeds.

However, if the engine turns on, the car still won’t shift into gear; resulting in a faulty torque converter. In most of the Honda cars, the torque converter is worsening with the leaking and burning transmission fluid.

The Honda CVT transmission problems are quite difficult and expensive to solve. So, it’s better to follow a few maintenance tips at the initial stage. Regular checking at your parking spot for transmission leaks can work precisely to mark the issues. And for the more complicated problems taking the car to a professional service station will be a right thing to do.

Honda Problems Associated with a Continuously Variable Transmission

CVT is the system of improved acceleration and enhanced fuel economy but people still doubt its efficiency.

Here is the list of some Honda CVT Transmission Problems:

1. Irritating Noise

The cars with this system generate noise during initial acceleration. This noise is produced because CVT tries to adjust the engine speed. Such noises can be irritating, specifically when the noise is compared to the sound of slipping clutch comes from a manual transmission.

So, if you are used to driving a car with an automatic transmission, you may find a little trouble!

2. Jerky Movement

The cars with continuously variable transmission are supposed to offer a smooth transition while accessing utmost power. However, there has been a problem of jerky movement during initial acceleration.

Moreover, people also complain about the rattling noises during slow speed. Some issues of abrupt movement in starting system or engine have also been noticed. Besides this, if the car’s fuel efficiency has decreased, this is a clear sign of transmission problem.

3. They Are Not Pocket-Friendly

The drivers who have driven cars with a manual or an automatic transmission usually find difficulty if they switch to a car with this system. For them buying a vehicle with CVT is a more expensive deal in comparison to other transmission systems.

4. No Change in Gear Shift

The cars with CVT system don’t give the feel of any gear shifts like the automatic transmission vehicle. In other words, you don’t feel a change in the engine speed when shifting gears.

This is because paddle shifts are incorporated in vehicles with CVT system to simulate gear changes. Consequently, the paddle shifter allows transmitting electronic signals to the clutch, which causes gear shift. This is exactly what happens in an automatic transmission engine.

the cvt is a bad idea, it gave the altima and murano a bad reputation of being unreliable.

Odyssey has no CVT transmission.

Civic and City of between 2002 - 2010 are the ones that use CVT gears.

Accords of 2013 till date come with it's own type of CVT gears.

It is actually.

Thats why more and more cars are made with it.

CVT are the worst kind of tranny. Suffering with my audi cvt

Outside the country I can and probably will get a CVT for the smooth transmission. But in country, manual all the way

CVT fluids are not readily available in our automobile market, outside that, it is the better option

When cars were invented, the future was bleak as people had preference for chariots and horses.

I have already aligned to that future. Enjoying my 2014 Honda accord with CVT, electronic power steering and direct injection Earthdream engine.

People mostly have problems with cars when they listen to Kazeems and decide not to follow the manufacturers spec for fluids or parts.

For example, if honda says change your CVT transmission fluid after 30k miles with 08200-HCF2, then you decide to change after 60k miles with Abro or any other recommended by Kazeem, will you now blame the car or manufacturer?

I'm not saying cars don't have design defects but mostly in Nigeria people don't follow manufacturer recommendations.
