Vehicle is hesitant when accelerating and jolts when shifting and down shifting. I had my vehicle serviced for a serpentine belt and i was told the timing belt tensioner was leaking so that had to be changed also. Everything was 'checked out' by a certified honda specialist and they didn't feel the issue. It's becoming worse.

The van judders periodically at speeds below 50mph. The juddering is bad enough to be a safety issue. The torque converter software has been updated and transmission fluid flushed multiple times without solving the issue. The transmission shifts erratically and jerks the van rendering it unstable. Multiple customers have reported the same issue with this model.

We started hearing a thunking noise while in motion coming from the left front wheel. We took it to the dealership where it was discovered the factory forgot or neglected to tighten the left front axle nut causing the axel to come loose. If this had happened at highway speeds, the dealer told us it could easily have caused a very serious accident. This is a serious problem that may affect other vehicles.
