I have a 2017 6-cylinder Honda Accord with automatic transmission. 50,000 miles. When slowing down for a stop, such as at a stoplight, the downshifting feels a little aggressive, especially when it hits first gear. The sensation I feel is like downshifting a motorcycle when the RPMs are too high...momentum throws your body forward. That is a an extreme example of what I'm feeling, but I do feel that to an extent when it downshifts, especially from 2nd to 1st. The actual shifting is smooth, and I am a conservative driver. Is it me just not being accustomed to a variable transmission, or is there an emerging problem? Thank you!
If it’s still under warranty, take it to the dealer and be adamant about having it fixed.
Yes! I agree.
I can’t for the life of me understand why people don’t use their cars’ warranty.
An issue like this can easily be over $3k… Honda had some of the worst 6 speed transmissions.
It should not do that. Change the ATF with Honda fluid (just drain and refill).
Will that void the 60k powertrain warranty? Ty.
If it is still under warranty, have them fix it for free.
