Google for: wwest abolition hesitation -dfg For all you might ever want to know about the re-acceleration downshift delay in these newer, post 1998, FWD and F/awd transaxles. Ford has a breakthrough solution in that they have adopted a variable displacement ATF oil pump for the Edge while everyone else seems to be stuck trying to get drivers to adapt to their "future intent" detection technique. Release, Fully Release, the gas pedal FAST/QUICKLY/RAPIDLY and the engine/transaxle ECU control firmware will "judge" (assume..??) that your intent is to slow using engine compression braking and thereby remain in the lower gear you were just using for acceleration, low to MODERATE acceleration. On the other hand ease up on the gas pedal slowly and the ECU will command an upshift. Once that upshift is (inadvertently) commanded it MUST be completed before a downshift can be commanded and now with the engine idling and the new HIGHLY EFFICIENT ATF real time line pressure control system there will not be enough fluid pressure in reserve to complete a second sequential gear shift/change. So DBW is used to delay the onset of rising engine torque until the required downshift can be completed. 1-2 second downshift delays are being reported as typical.

It is not uncommon to encounter packs of bicyclists, some riding 2, 3 or 4 abreast and using up all of the roadway on county backroads marked for 55 MPH. Some seem indignant that a motorist expects them to form a single file and ride at the edge of the road. That brings up an interesting point. If a car can be ticketing for going too slow and holding up traffic. Does that apply to people on bicycles? I do understand folks coming out to our area to ride their bikes on the weekend. It is very nice and quiet with lots of up and down hills to test your stamina. I always slow down just in case they hit a sandy spot on the road and go down. I don't want to be the one that runs over them. That was always my fear riding my bike along Alii Dr. in Kona. It was about 5 miles from my condo to Kailua. All very narrow without any bike lanes.

The real dif oil should be changes that often, your truck will tell you when it should be changed, I think the code is "A6" on the service reminder. They are however taking you for a ride at $400, Honda Windward charges $74 to change the real dif oil. It is also very easy to do yourself for around 15 bucks.

I have never heard this one, you should consult the service department. I have a honing type sound that comes out at very low speeds, below 10 mph, coming from under the truck but can never seem to produce the sound with the mechanic in the truck. It seems it is a bit different than your problem. Sounds like it could be the brakes, yikes. The mechanics should be able to hear a constant sound anyway, laki maika'i, mele kalikimaka

OK, you guys are getting a little out of focus. Perhaps you should look into the local bingo group or buy yourself a fishing pole? Maybe try spending a little of your time to research and find out exactly where your vehicle was produced. Come on, exchange emails, we don't need to read this crap
