I have a vibration in the front end when I accelerate past 40 mph. It stops when I let off off of the accelerator.

I would agree with the problem with the axle, such as worn CV joints. Also, it could be worn tie rod ends or worn ball joints. Both are consumable parts and can easily be diagnosed at a reputable tire center. First and cheapest: have the tires balanced and rotated. While it is up on the rack, have the wearable joints checked.

Also have the tire shop check for out of round tires which balancing will not fix.

Exactly right. As tires wear down (especially lower quality tires), they will get out of round and be unable to be balanced. It makes for a permanent vibration until replaced.

I have vibration issues only when accelerating and is more noticeable at higher speeds. 2012 Odyssey with 58,000 miles. Driven very easy and trans drain and fill performed at 30,000. Thought it might be bad tired and replaced with Michelins. No change. ☹️

Is it likely that Honda will help out with repair? 58,000 miles...not okay. If it had 158,000 miles I could understand. This is not okay. It’s never been in an accident.
