you are going to need a little time behind the wheel to get to know your new CRV and get comfortable with it's features, functions, and yes. Generally speaking, with any new vehicle. Suggestion for you: Just drive and enjoy your new CRV. I think you are fighting an illusion here, but since I am not in the vehicle with you, this is speculation on my part. At highway speeds, generally on flat roadways, very little throttle is being applied to maintain speed (unlike in random urban city driving). At slow speeds in a gen5 CRV power train, the CVT is more engaged at low speeds than at high speeds (ie: highway speeds). then you abruptly remove your foot from the accelerator and that removes that fuel level feed to the engine. In other words, you apply gas until it is time to brake or coast. I too am a bit of a worry wart, but have learned to temper it through thoughtful analysis of what it is that is the worry.Īnyway, this leads me to believe that you are more of a binary driver on the accelerator. ![]() If this does not satisfy, then by all means go down to the dealer and ask to test drive your vehicle VS some other random CRV on the lot.Ĭlick to expand.I get it. Normal CRV will move at 7-10 mph on a smooth road surface with just the idle threshold of fuel. Honestly, best way to set your mind at ease that you do not have something wrong with your vehicle (like a brake system issue, which honestly should show an alert light for) is to take it to an empty smooth parking lot and then stop, take your foot off the brake and let the normal idle range of the engine move the vehicle forward. How hard were you pressing the throttle before you let the vehicle begin to coast on it's own? It does matter. What speed are you traveling at? It does matterĪre your tires properly inflated? it does matter Is the road surface level? It does matter Is the road surface smooth or rough? It does matter Click to expand.First, let's assume you do not have a hybrid (with it's native regenerative braking)Ī lot of factors at play here, all normal.
