a '17 Accord CVT's issue
- Thread starter miden851
- Start date
Hope this one works out for you. Keep us posted please
i got the car back on Tuesday, so i've been doing my daily driving and there is no leak anymore
however, they broke the driver side knot assembly in the process, I think; I guess when you work around transmission and the drivers side axel, there is high chance of ruing something else, in this case the knot assembly, but what do i know
. So I ended up paying for the part from O'Reilly's Auto Parts store; They said the labor cost would be voided. Of course, I was at work when they call me so i did not have many options at the moment; please, just give me my car back
all in all, the transmission saga cost me dearly but hopefully no more going back!

Keeping it or trading in now that it is “fixed”?
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I’m hoping I never see that code/problem pop up in mine
We both hope so 
one thing to look out for the code, in my case prior to the problem, MPGs were dropping down continuously; Also, my car has that driving assist features joke that tipped to the problem; however, from now on i'm keeping it OFF

What is the driver assist? The green Econ button?We both hope so

If that is what you are referring to, yes I maybe had it in for about a month but turned it off and have had it off for several years now

What's a knot assembly?
Yeah I’m trying to understand that myself
Meaning they tried too hard to separate the suspension parts during disassembly? Unless the car was extremely rusty, this one was their fault…
agree, but i don't know is it possible to be broken part, or how often it happens if they removed it twice, then re-installed twice the original knuckle assembly
But i tend to believe, when i returned the car back for a warranty repair, too much labor time so they up-charge me for this part; just my guess
Ok. Only thing I have is this

yeah, thats a bit different and it just adds to complexity in my case
my another CVT in 16CRV, which is more of the same unit, still solid and without driver's assist features

Stories like this, plus my parents' experience with a Ford Fusion, makes me seriously lean towards sticking to manuals or traditional autos. Good thing I like Mazdas (their autos are still traditional autos and they still offer lots of manuals).
