NHTSA Complaint #11244515 — 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY

THIS CAR HAD AN ISSUE WHEN WE PURCHASED IT WITH THE TRANSMISSION FEELING 'JUMPY' OR LIKE IT DIDN'T SHIFT GEARS CORRECTLY. IT BOUNCED MY FAMILY ACROSS AN INTERSECTION IN A TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL JOLT. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A 'SOFTWARE' UPDATE. THE PROBLEM, LIKE OTHERS HAVE STATED IS THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT CONSISTENT BUT IT IS SCARY AND UNSAFE. I WISH HONDA WOULD DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. WE WERE ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE SECOND TIME. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S ALWAYS IN A LOW GEAR. IT HAPPENS MILDLY EVERY TIME I TURN INTO MY OWN STREET. IT DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY AND FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WE HAVE HAD HIS VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD THIS PROBLEM.
