| Description of the problem | When going down a hill, even a small hill, the rpms increase to 3000-3500. The engine whines and the vehicle feels as though it is being held back. If the hill is a long hill, the rpms go down and the vehicle lunges forward and accelerates. This repeats until the end of the hill. At the end of the hill, the final lunge and acceleration is dangerous if there is a stop sign at the end as the vehicle is accelerating. Honda claims that the cvt transmission is supposed to work like that. I feel it is unsafe and do not want to be a statistic in order for honda corporation to fix it. The problem occurs daily since i bought the vehicle. |
