| I have been experiencing hesitation in acceleration from a stop through third gear at low speeds. i took the vehicle to honda dealership and they had not heard of the problem and were unable to duplicate the severity of my issue but did notice hesitation. manager said he would speak to corporate representative. yesterday, while taking a left to cross highway, the vehicle had trouble accelerating to cross highway with approaching vehicles traveling 65 miles per hour. my friend and her child were in the van along with one of my children. i have not looked at this as a safety issue until yesterday but am now very concerned because i live off this busy highway and regularly make this turn often with three or more children. | |||

| As soon as the transmission shifts to the second gear, the entire car will shudder. same thing happens often on the third, fourth, and fifth. another thing that happens on the transmission is that when it's in overdrive in the sixth gear, the rpm will jump about a hundred or two, up and down, randomely. when it's also in overdrive, it makes a weird noise. in the cabin, it sounds like an extreme wind noise, but you can tell that it's coming from the transmission because it happens everytime i give the car some gas. some other people are also having the same problem as i'm having because people on the forum are complaining about the same issue. | |||
