09 pilot problem

[Daneo]

Hi guys, newbie here. I recently bought a pre owned 09 EXL about 3 weeks ago. When I'm driving and let go of the gas and then accelerate, it kinda stumbles or misfire...not quite sure what to call it but the car shakes as if it's going to turn off. I took it to the Honda dealer and didn't find a code. They said that it might be the motor mounts and that they were electronic. So they added new software, but problem was not resolved. Engine light didn't turn on and no codes popped up. My car has about 49k miles on it and is a 2wd. It almost feel like a misfire on one of the cylinders ..but I don't know. It has that ECONOMIC light that turns on and off. I can't figure it out, it rattles as I let go of gas and then accel. Any ideas...not a mechanic, but I know that there is a problem..unless all of you feel this vibration as well in your Pilots. Thanks,Daneo(Daniel)

My 09 touring is 2WD too and has 18k miles. It doesn't stumble.
Also, the transitions between ECO on/off can't be felt either.
If your's rattles when you acel, maybe you should try hi-octane gas for a couple tankfulls and see if that helps.

Thanks Mike, i'll try the high octane. It's getting very annoying though. There should be no movement what's so ever between ECO transitions.
