Stepwgn Hybrid Transmission Issues: Fix Needed ASAP

Hey there! I had very similar issues with my 2019 Honda CR-V Hybrid last year. The symptoms you're describing match exactly what I experienced, jerky transmission, whining noise, and the ABS light. Took it to the garage and they found metal shavings in the transfer case oil, indicating worn gears. It's definitely a serious issue that needs immediate attention because it can lead to complete transfer case failure if left unchecked. In my case, they had to drain the old fluid, clean out the metal particles, and replace some worn components in the transfer case. The repair took about two days to complete. They also needed to reset the ABS system since the metal particles had affected the sensors. Don't wait too long on this one, driving with worn transfer case components can cause more expensive damage to your transmission. Make sure to find a garage that specializes in hybrid vehicles, as the system is a bit different from conventional powertrains. Stay safe!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! That's really helpful to know it was the transfer case in your CR-V. I'm going to get mine checked out ASAP. Just curious, do you remember roughly how much the repairs ended up costing you? Also, has everything been running smoothly since the fix, or have you noticed any other issues pop up? Thanks again!

Hey again! Glad to give you an update on my CR-V situation! After getting it fixed, I'm happy to report everything's been running like a dream. The whole repair job, including labor and parts, came to 210€ to fix that worn gear in the transfer case oil. Pretty reasonable considering how worried I was at first! The best part? Not a single problem since then, no more jerking, weird noises, or ABS light issues. It's shifting as smooth as butter now. Honestly, it feels like driving a new car again! The mechanic did a proper job cleaning out all that metal debris and replacing the worn components. Just make sure to get yours looked at quick, I'm really glad I didn't wait around on fixing mine. Trust me, your wallet will thank you for catching it early! Let me know how it goes with yours!

Thanks for the detailed follow-up! I bit the bullet and took my Stepwgn to a certified hybrid mechanic yesterday. You were spot on, it was indeed the transfer case issue. Funny enough, my repair bill came in slightly lower at €180, guess I got lucky! The mechanic was really thorough and showed me all the metal debris they found. Pretty scary stuff! They flushed everything out, replaced the worn parts, and reset the system. Took it for a test drive today and what a difference! No more jerking or whining, and that pesky ABS light is finally off. Really appreciate your advice about not waiting, could've ended up being way more expensive if I'd kept putting it off. Cars running like new now, so I'm one happy driver! Thanks again for helping me avoid a potentially bigger headache!
