NHTSA Complaint #11014822 — 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY

A FEW MONTHS AFTER OUR PURCHASE THE ODYSSEY SEEMED TO JERK AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN TAKING OFF (CITY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC). WE MENTIONED THIS AT OUR SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NORMAL WITH THE ECO. LAST WEEK MY FAMILY HEADING OUT ON VACATION. ABOUT 6 HOURS, HIGHWAY DRIVING, INTO OUR DRIVE WE CAME UPON HEAVY TRAFFIC. WE HAD SEVERAL MILES OF STOP AND GO. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SLAM INTO GEAR AND THEN THE VAN WOULD JERK THEN MOVE. THIS CONTINUED FROM A COMPLETE STOP TO A SLOW ROLL WHEN SHE ACCELERATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 7 EVENTS THROUGH OUT THE CONGESTED AREA ABOUT 40 MIN. WE FINALLY CLEARED TRAFFIC AND STOPPED FOR REST AND FUEL AND CONTINUED ON. THE SYMPTOM DID NOT RETURN FOR THE REMAINDER OF OUR TRIP HOWEVER, WE DID NOT HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AS WE DID WHEN WE STARTED. I BEGAN TO RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HASN'T BE SOLVED. IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AND SEEMS TO RESET TO NORMAL WHEN THE VAN IS TURNED OFF. I AM HEADING TO THE DEALER TO GET OUR VAN LOOKED AT AND DOCUMENT IN THEIR SYSTEM.
