Consumer Description

A FEW YEARS AGO, THE HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 WAS MAKING SHIFTING NOISES AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. HONDA SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR FREE. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO (ABOUT 85,000-125,000) IT SOUNDED LIKE AN ENGINE BREAK WHEN COASTING DOWN FROM SPEED (LIKE THE ENGINE WAS SHIFTING DOWN AND SLOWING THE CAR). TODAY (APRIL 17, 2020) IT BEGAN TO BUCK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SHIFTED WITH MORE BUCKING WHEN STARTING BACK UP FROM A STOP. SEEMS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY
