NHTSA Complaint #11221239 — 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY

CAR HAS UNDER 7000 MILES. ENGINE STRUGGLES WITH POWER IN LOWER GEARS. THERE IS ALSO A JUMP WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD. THE JUMP FEEL LIKE A TRANSMISSION GEAR TRANSFER ISSUE. TODAY AS AN EXAMPLE, WHEN DEPARTING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I HAD TO FULLY COMPRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GET THE ENGINE TO RESPOND. IN GENERAL, THE LOWER GEARS FEEL SLUGGISH AND THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE PURCHASE. THE ENGINE SIMPLY SOUNDS DIFFERENT THAN ANY OF OUR PREVIOUS HONDA ODYSSEY'S. AT HIGHER SPEEDS, ON A HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE IS RESPONSIVE. WE'RE IN A DO LOOP WITH MECHANICS AS THE PROBLEM IS NOT ALWAYS REPEATABLE. HOPE THIS HELPS IF YOU START SEEING TRENDS.
