Jerks when starting SolvedSolved

Honda Fit 2006  160000 miles
Hello, my automatic Honda Fit 2006 started failing and it seems to be a standard vehicle. This is because, when starting the engine, speeds do not enter properly and I need to introduce first gear and then return it to direct. A mechanic told me it was a CVT transmission failure, which cannot be repaired. Is there any other option? Has anyone had this problem? How did you solve it? Thanks.

Hi, everything can be solved. Before anything is done to the automatic transmission, take the vehicle to an Honda certified workshop, scan it and ask them to check it personally. On the other hand, CVT boxes can be repaired and even its parts can be found individually.

Thank you, Tranquilla, that's what I did. I took it to an Honda agency and the problem was in the spark plugs, there were some that were burnt. They were replaced and the car is now working without any failures. Thank you for your response.

My automatic Honda fit Aria is jerking when shifting to gear one and at a low speed... And it accelerates better at higher speed.
I have replaced new plugs, fuel pump, braking pads but there is no improvement.
What could be the problem?

Jerks at high speeds

Honda Fit 2001  97000 miles
I have an automatic Honda Fit 1.3 and some weeks ago some jerks started appearing when driving the car at high speeds. The engine and gearbox oils are almost new, less than 300 miles. Why does this happen?

Change spark plugs and clean the eight coils as well. If the problem persists, there might be a damaged coil which needs to be changed.
Mike from United States 9 years ago
Hello, the same happened to me and it was a rear coil that was failing, as I disconnected them and the problem disappeared. You can try it yourself.

Change the plugs (All 8) if you have iDSI model and the jerking will stop. Also put fuel injector cleaner. Problem solved.

It seems you forgot something unplugged. Check all the transmission wires and connectors. Is there any warning light on in your dashboard?

I took my Honda fit to Honda Zambia were it was put on a diagnosis machine and no problem was found. So they had to reprogram the vehicle and also I discovered that the spark plugs needed to be changed,after all the changes the vehicle is no longer jerking.

Jerking and shuddering while idling

Honda Fit 2008 Hatchback 92000 miles
My 2008 Fit started to hesitate upon acceleration and jerk at 40 mph then again at 60 mph. Went to mechanic who changed spark plugs which were burnt. This problem was fixed but now the car idles rough and shudders or jerks at stop signs and seems as though it is about to cut off. Also shudders when backing up. What could now be wrong?

Is there any warning light on? Apart from that, you may check the ignition coils. Scan the vehicle too, it would bring you some idea about the issue.
Niwa from other a year ago
There is no warning light and we checked the ignition coils too...Am thinking it might be the engine mount

Car jerking when accelerating.

Honda Fit 2009 1300 (CC) 12353 miles
My car is jerking every time I accelerate, sometimes even going at 30 km/h. I went to a mechanic and he said it's the CVT; that it cannot be fixed on the island and that all to be done is change the transmission oil with the original manufacturers oil. That it wont fix the problem but it will make it not get worse and the jerking might go completely or just be felt less.
