Hi all.
We purchased a new '19 Accord Hybrid EX-L in July with 11 miles on it. I just past my 10K mark (I drive a good bit).
I have noticed that between 40-60 mph, when the power shifts from engine to EV or vice versa, there is a noticeable hesitation (small jerk).
I took the car in to the local Honda dealership. They kept it all day. Drove it for less than 2 miles and at the end of the day told me that this is normal behavior (as they put it, they called a Honda Tech and Honda has confirmed that there is nothing to worry about, this is normal). I have a hard time believing that the jerk that I feel when a power shift happens is "normal".
The car also appears to be very noisy when charging the battery (say when I am stopped at a red light).
Has anyone else experienced this? I will poke around the forum to see if anyone else has reported this behavior.
Many thanks,
John.
