What's wrong with Honda CVTs ?

a '17 Accord CVT's issue

I ran into an issue with my CVT; Yesterday after the work, when I hit a road and within 2mnts I got an alert on my dashboard, the very first time I pulled to the side, shut it off and stepped out of the car; I popped the hood, went under the car and nothing out of ordinary, no burning smell...

I would expect a CVT in a Civic to be less bad than one in an Accord though.

The CVT in the Civic has been very reliable since the 2016 model year. Earlier versions had some issues though. But an 05 definitely doesn’t have the CVT.

D17s have a timing belt, not bad engines, have done a couple of head gaskets on them. They are not bad but not a D15 or D16.
