Jerky at constant speed

[pete l]

Hi all,

my 3 hybrid can be a bit jerky trying to keep a steady speed, around 45mph, in HEV mode, in EV mode it's fine.

Has anyone else had this ?

I'm new to hybrids but my car is not jerky. I am however still getting used to the regen happening when I ease of the accellerator. Maybe this is what you are feeling?

Definitely jerky, wants to go but doesn't want to go. Can be very jerky, only around this speed and only in hev mode

I've noticed this on mine it feels like it can't make up it's mind whether it wants to be in HEV mode or EV

Mine does it at about a steady 40mph, I think its the car not deciding what gear to be in. I've read somewhere it's quite common for this car.

Could be John i think the car would benefit from 2 more gears
