    Ask Smithy Xtra Shudders on acceleration

    Honda Honda Advice Honda Jazz Honda Jazz Advice Honda Jazz 2005
    About a year ago my daughter purchased a 2005 Honda Jazz VTI CVT automatic. When accelerating the drive train shudders as it moves off from stand still. I have since spoken with a number of mechanics and a few owners of Jazzes and they say that this is a common problem and is expensive to fix. I would like to put it out there to other Jazz owners to gauge whether this is a universal problem, and if it is, should Honda make it a major recall to rectify this problem?

    I understand that Honda has doubled the warranty on the CVT transmission because of problems like your daughter has experienced. At least one other owner I am aware of has had the CVT transmission replaced free of charge. I would approach Honda directly and ask for assistance with this problem.
