Freed uneven engine running
Summary of the thread
A 2017 Honda Freed is experiencing uneven engine running, a check engine light, and jerking during acceleration. A potential cause suggested is an exhaust leak, which could trigger the check engine light and cause the symptoms described. It is recommended to listen for unusual noises, such as a hissing sound, and consider taking the vehicle to a workshop for proper diagnosis and repair if the issue persists.

Thanks for the quick reply! An exhaust leak... that's interesting. I haven't specifically checked for that. Where exactly should I be looking or listening for the leak? And would that trigger the check engine light?

I couldn't pinpoint the exact location myself. I just heard a hissing sound, especially when the engine was cold. And yes, that definitely triggered my check engine light. In my case, it was indeed a leak, and I had to take it to a workshop to get it properly diagnosed and repaired. Cost me about 265€.

Okay, thanks for the info! I'll check for exhaust leaks and probably take it to a workshop if I can't find anything obvious. Appreciate the help!

I had a similar problem with my Freed, though mine is a bit older. Did you check for any unusual noises coming from the engine or exhaust? It could be something simple like a leak in the exhaust system. That would also explain the jerking.
