Rough ride, loud noise 40mph, 2 & 3rd gear AT

Didnt find anyone mention this particular problem, hopefully someone has.

Fit reached the 10,000 point, running as smooth as day one. But in the last 2 weeks its running rough, perhaps a loss of power. I first noticed a weird engine sound, when you give it gas it doesnt sound smooth. Now I notice the tranny is a little slow between 2nd and 3rd gear, around 40mph it feels weak and as soon as you let off the gas there is a loud sound from the exhaust/engine. Does that sound like it needs to downshift but it isnt or it need to shift up? RPMs arent high or anything, stay around 3k when I give it gas, 2k when I coast.

Took it to the dealer and they said they drove it and found no problems, I drove it to work the next day and could tell it wasnt running smoothly. Will try to catch the Honda tech sometime this week but has anyone experience anything like this?

There is no sound from the dash, no ticking, etc. It's not THAT sound.

Hmmm. Very strange. Take it back to Hinda and have soneone diffrent drive. Make them drive a brand new one, then your is you have to. It will make them see/feel the diffrence. It does not sound normal. Good luck.

Well I finally got the time to take it to the dealership and have the tech drive it around. Sure enough he drove it and as soon as he hit 40 he heard the sound, and then he sped up and turned the wheel left and right while going past 40. Turns out its the right wheel bearing, waiting for the part, will update next week.
