I have 3700 miles on my 08 Civic Hybrid. On seven different occasions I have experienced bucking/surging accelerating between 10-40 mph moderately. It didn't feel like the transmission hunting, it felt like the engine was starving? I have noticed the tachometer fluctuate @ the same time. I have taken it into my Honda dealer twice. The can find nothing wrong with it. There are no software updates available for the PCM. I was told to keep driving it until something breaks. I also experience a burning rubber smell after driving up and down twisty roads.
I just bought the Honda Care Extended Warranty.
Good Luck!
