So I now have a 2009 Civic LX-S (bought Certified Used). 22k miles, Auto, Stock car (nothing aftermarket changed)

Driving it around, I seemed to have noticed 2 things.

1. The radio. It seems to change volume on its own as I drive? When I am stopped or going slow, the volume is lower, but then when I get to certain speeds or higher (45MPH+) the volume seems to be higher. I don't have the owner manual that comes with the car, so not sure if there is some feature that changes the volume based on speed?

2. It seems, that when I change gear (usually from Reverse to Drive), the transition to drive seems to be "rough". It seems to happen mostly with a cold start (first drive in the morning, or after going home from work). Seems more pronounced in this car than any car I have driven before. Any other owners get this?

Thanks in advance. Other than this, the car seems great!

 

1. SVC.



2. Normal. The ATF is still cold. If needed, change ATF.

 

awesome, ty.

 

I would check the transmission fluid level and then have the transmission fluid changed out with Honda ATF
