Hybrid CVT
My mother has a 2003 Civic Hybrid with 30200 miles on it. I have changed the ATF fluid at 15000 and 30000 miles. (Well not change but drain 3 qts, you know the routine)
Last week her car was making a grinding noise EVERY time it went from a stop to moving. We brought it to Honda and they said the CVT needed flushing (the 3x drain and refill) and they did it and covered it under warranty. Noise gone. They say the transmission needs a filter in it and Honda is working on a retrofit.
Has any one else heard of this CVT issue??
