I tried a bit of a search but couldn't find anything.
The problem occurs under gentle, very gentle actually, acceleration when I'm guessing the vehicle has changed to a too high gear. There is an almost hunting which is very noticable. You can eliminate it by accelerating harder or backing off.
It's due for it's 90K service so prior to servicing I called Honda about it. They say it's common and is almost always fixed with an auto transmission flush/fluid replacement. They say under the most extreme cases they need to replace the torque converter.
I asked why the issue may be present seeing they claim it's common. They told me that they believe the scheduled service interval for the auto of 120K is too long.
So I replied that it was an issue with Honda and I should be getting it looked at before it gets worse. He said it was vehicle specific and was common of vehicles which towed and used in hot enviroments, nth Qld etc.
Anyone here had this issue?
I thought I would ask before giving the car to Honda.
