Well i'm no car expert, so i'm just assuming its the tranny. Here's
my problems:
1. Turn the ignition, step on brakes, release hand brake, shift
shifter from park(P) to drive(D). As soon as I get to D, the RPM
counter goes up, (from about 700rpm to about 1500rpm) and the car
hesitates to move at this point. I have to wait for the RPM needle to
drop back to the idle range(700rpm) before I step on the gas. This
fluctuation in the RPM needle only takes about 2 seconds, but its
driving me nuts, and it didn't do that before when I first got the
car. My experience with other cars is when you shift from P to D, its
smooth and the RPM needle barely moves, maybe from 700 to 900 if that
much. I have my CRV less than a month now and about 1600 miles on it.
2. Sometimes when I step on the gas from a stop(like at a traffic
light or stop sign),it would 'skip' then go. The 'skip' is hard to
explain, its like a sudden 'jerk' forward, then the transmission
would engage and the car would move normally.
3. Going about 40mph and taking my foot off the gas pedal, the car
begins to slow down(which is normal), but I feel a bit of friction
(like if i'm applying the brakes) although i'm not. Its like the car
goes into a sluggish state.


Has anyone out there experienced similar problems on their new CRVs?
and what was the fix? Other than these problems, I absolutely love my
CRV, and I have accessorise it with the front splash guards, side
steps, roof rack, wheel locks, and i'm thinking about the fog lights.


Thanks much,


Moe

My wife and I have both noticed this, although I can't seem to
have the "jerk" or "skip" act up on cue.

When turning from a stop (made in parking lots, or off a road),
the new CRV (200) will sometimes leap forward just a bit. It's not
a huge skip, but it's there -- almost as if the car went from 0 to 5
miles per hour without going through mph of 1,2,3,and 4.

We're likely going to have the dealer look at it, but I want to be
able to have the problem happen. Still can't find out why it occurs
sometimes and not others.

Hesitate or jerk?
