TSB# A13-053(6jun2014)

2014 EX-L

was experiencing the slow deceleration and acceleration judder before replacing the valve body at the dealer. Now its much smoother. I would recommend the valve body replacement if you feel any surge, hesitation, or judder as the vehicle
accelerates from a stop.

Here's a link back to the TSB so you don't have to dig back in time to post 301.
