I am concidering purchasing a 2005 Odyssey EX-L with 136000 miles. When test driving I notice a low level noice and slight vibration when the van shifts into "ECO" after it warms up. Most noticable at higher speeds. Disappears when touching the gas pedal and eco goes off. Big or small problem ahead?

It could be an indication of a failing torque converter lock-up system and can be a minor fault with the solenoids or a major fault requiring the trans to be rebuilt/replaced.
