Any long term Odyssey 2015 owners in Eastbay (Fremont) could help assess my car’s condition? Sluggish performance

Got a used 2015 EXL, with 133k miles on it recently. Being new to cars, my friend helped me with the used car shopping, test drive etc. However, now that I started using it more, I noticed several issues; however I can’t tell if they are even real issues given it’s age and mileage:

  • popping / clicking sound when steered 360 left or right while signal indicator is on. Only happens with signal indicator on
  • too much hesitation while accelerating
  • struggles after 60mph on freeways, feels like lack of power.. after any slowdown it struggles to go back up to 65mph traffic speed..

I never faced these problems when I drove Volkswagen cars in the past.

I took the car to Omega Auto for inspection on these, and asked them if they could do VCM muzzle thingy, but looks like he is unaware of that, but they asked me to bring it back for deeper inspection, likely replacing spark plugs, gasket valve stuff etc.

So, I would like to ask if any fellow odyssey owner could ride my car and share your feedback so I could get those addressed by a mechanic. Please suggest if any bay area honda mechanic does VCM tuning.

Thanks
