So I just got back from a 1200 mile trip. I'm more than pleased with the MPG's and the Fozzies driving capabilities on Interstate roads throughout the trip.
However, I had noticed on more than one occasion that while accelerating, 1500rpm+ range, my Sport feels like it surges with a frequency of about half/second intervals. I usually just punch the gas pedal even more and it'll go away.
However, the times I accelerate slowly it would do this.
Yes, I checked the forum and all I could find were posts about the braking or surging feeling at around 15-25 mph. This is not that feeling.
Its hard to explain the exact feeling but if I could explain it, it would feel as if someone was gently pushing/shoving a chair you were sitting in. The chair doesn't move but you feel the motion.
Surely this is not normal for a CVT. But then again, perhaps it may be. I just want to narrow down the possibilities of what it could be so I am more equipped with knowledge when I eventually take my Sport to the dealer for a look-see.
Notes of Interest: I have yet to notice any RPM change during the event, but then again I am concentrated on driving. Typically I have noticed the issue while around the 1500-2000rpm range while gently accelerating; on-ramp or stop lights.
I appreciate any help you folks can give.
