Hi all,

I've had my 2018 2.0 sport accord for about a month now..

I been noticing really bad turbo lag, my foot would be on the pedal hard and the turbo kicks in about 2 -3 seconds after. It is very annoying, It was not like this when I first got it.. What could be the problem?

Also I noticed the first 2 or 3 gears are very jerky, especially when you're decelerating, it is so noticeable that it jerks my car from and back so much.. It's really a shame..

When I switch the from parking to reverse as well, it takes a good 2-3 seconds to engage to reverse so I can actually reverse.. It is so laggy .. Please tell me I am not going crazy and these are problems I am going through just by myself..

If you have the automatic there have been some reports of rough shifting issues with the new 10spd. If you have a look at this thread someone was able to find a special break in procedure that has seen some good improvements with performance. https://www.accordxclub.com/forum/10-engine-technical-discussion/2012-resolution-2-0t-10at-rough-shifting.html

I have the same horribly rough shifting during deceleration around 3rd gear. It's horrible and dealership says it's fine. Can't wait to get rid of this crappy car.

After I put about 120 miles on my '19 Sport 2.0 (have 230 now) it started jerking when it downshifts to 3rd gear. It did not do this until like the 3rd day. It does stink, and they better address it. All other gears are still smooth, and there is no jerking when accelerating. That is when the car is warm. I can feel the gears more when the car is cold or when I did not warm it up enough in the driveway. Maybe I should have gotten the TLX SH-AWD A-spec. Would have had AWD too which I really wanted, but my choices were not many (WRX is too ugly and had tons of turbo lag, Stinger GT had rattles, plus it was like in a wind tunnel inside the car at hwy speeds, etc.). It really sucks they can't make the cars like they used to. They are all built like tin cans with a ton of issues off the lot

The Lexus IS350 AWD F-Sport was probably the best car I drove as far as refinement, but it was a bit slow and the $53K sticker was not attractive either. It's like you can't get a decent car that's quite and feels stable and well built, and shifts smoothly unless you spend at least $50K, and even then BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc. are plagued with problems and have below-average reliability, not to mentioned the worst resale value. I think Lexus might be my only choice and spend more $ than I really want to. It's extremely hard to find a used IS350 which tells me the owners hold on to these cars for a very long time.

Have you tried going to another Dealer? I intend to go to all 3 Honda dealers within 25 miles until they address the 3rd gear downshift problem jerking the car back & forth, and I also the dealer I bought the car from 45 mi. out.

My '19 Sport 2.0 has the Reverse delay too. It's easily 2-3 seconds after I push the button before the car can move, but I am not sure it was any different when I bought the car 1 week ago. Until others can chime in I would says it was always like this with my car and could be normal.
