I have a 2003 Element, and at the end of Sept I took it in to the dealership for battery issues. I wasn't having any other issues, but they found multiple other issues, which I had them fix.
Since I got the car back (it's been 23 days) my husband and I have been hearing a low whining/whirring noise, and on hard acceleration it slows down a lot or barely responds. At a medium speed it feels like the timing is off -- it slips a little between gears, more noticeable in the morning when it's cool.
Is it possible something they "fixed" could be causing these problems?
Here's what they did:
The whining and acceleration problems weren't happening until I got it back from the dealership.

Here's what they did:
- Replaced battery (under warranty)
- Fixed top transmission mount
- Resealed timing chain cover (Oil seal, O-Ring, Chain Case O-Ring)
- Resealed oil pan
- Replaced Power Steering pressure & return hoses (added Steering fluid)
- Replace Vtec spool valve solenoid (Valve assy, spool, filter assy)
