P500 Hesitation

[JonnF3]

Just purchased a new 2019 P500. Each time I start it, I let it warm up a bit. However, once I get it in gear and take off it hesitated like it’s starved for fuel then lurches forward and hesitates again. Any ideas?

When I was doing a clutch adjustment, I went too far and caused mine to briefly die out like that, like the engine retard during shifts was kicking in. Re-adjusted to sweet spot and been fine since. If adjustment doesn’t fix it, warranty service?

Is this also happening in manual mode?

If it's only in auto, then it's prob just not pulling off the shift and it's the ignition cut out your feeling. Those 1st couple of shifts are always notchy, regardless, but as @Mudder said, clutch adjustments on these can make a word of difference.

To be honest, I haven't tried it in manual. I’m gonna try the clutch adjustment and recheck. Thanks for the input.

Welcome to the forum from Canton, OH. Post up a pic of the new ride. Hopefully it is red, because that is the fastest color Honda makes.

Got your seatbelt latched?

From what I've read, new ones can be prone to a shifting glitch. Mine has done it two or three times. Not sure if what you are describing is the same. Basically, it won't upshift and the digital dash shows a dash instead of a gear number, as I recall.

There's a post or two about it, I think.
