What is your question?
When ramping up slowly in rpms, say from a red stop light and I continue driving, my car jerks a little when ramping up like it's hesitating a little or like it feels congested. This happened after multiple changes of my alternator, now with a new Honda genuine alternator. All oils are up to date, break oil, engine and CVT tranny oils. Prior to changing the alternator at all this did not occur, one of the alternators I had changed in the car presented the jerk/hesitation issue even more noticeable and worse, not it is not as noticeable, but definitely still there. Not sure what else I can do, the dealer says it seems fine since the voltages are correct and they claim it drives fine, but they did not see how the car was before I changed the alternator at all compared to now either.
What makes this problem better or worse?
After driving for a while and when commencing driving after stopped at a light.
How long has your 2015 Honda Civic had this problem?
Almost 2 months now.

Hello, why the replacement alternator in the first place? What testing was performed then? This is not something I ever see, and I do see Honda's daily for the last 13 years. As a result I'd be looking at wiring or modifications or non Honda components first to see what's going on. I don't see the CVT being an issue off the top, because it won't affect hesitation unless the engine is revving up without moving the vehicle. You may also be extra sensitive to the vehicle with all that has happened; dealers have the luxury of comparing to a like vehicle, so perhaps they could do that and give feedback?
