No it is not normal! HCH2 is normally a very smooth accelerator! CVT is the main reason for this. The ICE is normally smooth as well. Better have it checked. CVT may need oil change. How many miles on your 2007? H

CVT has a water color with maybe slight pink color. Use Honda CVT oil only. It is a easy change, just drain three qts. and replace thru the dip stick. I just did mine for the second time at about 45 thousand as to keep the M Minder happy.H
