2014 HONDA ODYSSEY Power Train Problems

The car is not shifting properly and lags or hesitates when changing gears. This issue causes the car to jerk, particularly when transitioning from lower gears to higher ones. Additionally, there has recently been a noise coming from the driver's side wheel, although the brake pads are in good condition.

I purchased a used vehicle from an auto auction. After the purchase, I discovered through Carfax and AutoCheck reports that the vehicle had a history of severe damage and an odometer discrepancy, both of which were not disclosed prior to the sale. The vehicle was sold with a Clean Title that stated “Actual Mileage,” but available records contradict this, indicating possible odometer fraud and prior total loss or structural damage. This raises concerns of title washing — where previous branded or salvage titles are "washed" clean through certain state DMVs — and calls into question the accuracy of the title issued shortly before the sale. The clean title was issued just one day before the auction sale, despite existing documentation showing serious history issues. The current situation poses a potential safety risk if the structural integrity was compromised in the previous damage. I still have the documents and inspection results...

On Saturday, May 24, 2025. I had my foot on the break as I was turning into the driveway of the building. Suddenly the car engine reved and the car acceletated toward the building wall. As this was happening I began to pump on the break and the car only stopped because it it hit the curb. This cause my passenger and me to lunge forward. My passenger hurt their wrist putting their hands on the dash as they braced for impact and I hit my forehead on the stearing wheel. . The airbags did not deploy. My cars front bumper was pushed in at the bottom and out on the right side. Thank God there was no one walking on the side walk,. The car could have crashed iinto a person or the building. There were no warning indicators .There was no police called since no one was seriously...

My wife was driving our 2014 Odyssey. She went to visit a neighbor. As she pulled up in the driveway and applied the brakes the car acceleration engaged. She was unable to stop the car. I hit the neighbors garage door, totaling it and damaged both of their cars inside. She had complained previously about what she had described as a braking problem. The car was taken into Honda service to check out the brakes and they were inspected and the car road tested and nothing was found. Since the accident the body was has been repaired and the car was returned to Honda for a diagnostic check-up and nothing was found again. I have a customer service claim with Honda USA but have not heard back from their claims manager.

my engine sparkplugs keep getting oil fouled causing rapid deceleration of van and check engine light to turn on damaging plugs, this only happens in the cylinder head closet to firewall, this engine defect may be due to Honda VCM system. Honda effuses to acknowledge my complaint. the other problem is the transmission that shacks the van and slams as I come to a stop I started to complain at 26,000 miles but they would not fix it unless it failed completely at 95,000 when it got worse Honda said it was out of warranty.

This is now the THIRD time my transmission has died (while driving). My vehicle only has 85,000 miles, There is clearly a recall that needs to happen. Honda needs to also act honorable and repair my vehicle free of charge as this transmission they put in only a few years ago.

Transmission shutters. See Service Bulletin 17-043 And 17-044

Since i bought have been to delar more than 15 times for transmission gear shift issue now getting increase on low speed Hard Downshift or Clunk When Slowing Down to a Rolling Stop

SEVERE JUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING. IT LEAVES THE DRIVER HESITANT TO PASS OR ENTER THE FREEWAY. THE RPM GAUGE AND SPEED GAUGE BOUNCE AND THE VEHICLE SHAKES AS IF YOU ARE PRESSING AND RELEASING THE GAS PEDDLE QUICKLY, OVER AND OVER.

I WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVE THROUGH ON DECEMBER 6, 2020. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE (I DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT - MY RIGHT FOOT) WITH MY RIGHT FOOT, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VAN MOVED ABOUT 5 FEET FORWARD AS I INCREASED THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. I THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WENT TO RED LINE. I PUSHED THE POWER BUTTON. NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING AS THE DRIVETHROUGH AHEAD OF ME WAS EMPTY. THE DAY BEFORE, THE LDW AND FCW FAIL LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECKOUT / DIAGNOSTICS OF WHAT HAPPENED. HONDA HAS OPENED A CASE ON THIS FOR US: CASE IS 11754879. NO PICTURES OR VIDEO AVAILABLE, UNFORTUNATELY, ALTHOUGH I AM CHECKING WITH FADI'S AT 12360 WESTHEIMER ROAD 77077.

WE HAVE A PEARL WHITE ODYSSEY. THE PAINT HAS PEELED OFF 2 TIMES, AND WE ARE TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED! I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PAINT ON OTHER HONDA VEHICLES. HONDA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PAINT ON THESE VEHICLES! THEY SHOULD FIX THIS INSTEAD OF THE CUSTOMER, SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PAINT ON THEM! NOW WE HAVE A CAR THAT WE WANT TO KEEP FOR A WHILE BUT WE NEED TO KEEP SPENDING FUNDS TO KEEP IT LOOKING NICE, WHEN HONDA SHOULD BE COVERING A KNOWN FLAW. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION HAS CONSTANT HESITATION WHEN DOING REGULAR DRIVING. IT LIKE IT CANT FIND A GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. EXITED THE NEXT EXIT AND TOOK TOOK THE VAN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, DUE TO BEING FOULED, AND ALSO COIL PACK FOR CYLINDER 3, DUE TO MISFIRE CODE ON CYLINDER 3. WITHIN A MONTH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SHUDDER AND FLASHING CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT. TOOK THE VAN IN TO MY MECHANIC AND THE CODE SHOWED MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 3. HE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG DUE TO THE FOULING OF THE NEW PLUG AND SAVED IT FOR ME TO PRESENT TO HONDA. HE ALSO SWITCHED COIL PACK 2 WITH COIL PACK 3. HE ADVISED ME OF HONDA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 13-081 AND EXPLAINED THE BUILD DATE OF OUR ODYSSEY WAS LISTED AS 08/13 AND WE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION THAT HONDA...

I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AND THERE WERE NO ODORS PRESENT SO I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TOWARDS THE NEXT EXIT. ABOUT .5MI AWAY FROM THE EXIT, THE ABS, FCW, LDW, AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE AIR CONDITIONER AND CONSOLE TURNED OFF, AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED. THIS PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY LOST POWER. THE LOCAL DEALER DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS AN OIL LEAK IN THE SPOOL VALVE THAT THEN DESTROYED THE ALTERNATOR AND FRIED THE BATTERY. THE MANUFACTURER (HONDA) RECENTY ISSUED TSB 20-023 DETAILING THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR PROCEDURE, BUT IT WAS LIMITED TO THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK, NOT ANY OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS THAT WERE DAMAGED. MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE INCIDENT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE A FIRE COULD HAVE BROKEN OUT DUE...

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT, IN THE PAST, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WILLIAMSBURG HONDA (7101 RICHMOND RD, WILLIAMSBURG, VA 23188, (757) 564-4671) WHERE IT WAS TEST DRIVEN AND THE FAILURE WAS DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 15-20 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DRIVING OVER 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHUDDERING WHEN SHIFTING.THE DEALER SAID TO FIX ITTHEY WOULD HAVE TO FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION THREE TIMES WITH NEW FLUID ANDDO A COMPUTER UPGRADE TO FIX IT.SINCE MY CAR HAS IS SIX YEARS OLD AND OVER 75 THOUSAND MILES 86 THOUSAND.THEY CHARGED ME $550.00 FOR THIS SERVICE. MY PROBLEM IS THIS IS A KNOWN PROLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEY, ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.MANY DIFFERENT YEAR MODELS, THE SERVICE MGR. AND MY SALESMAN BOTH TOLD ME 2014 WAS A YEAR THAT HAD MANY TRANSMISSION TROUBLES. IF ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS THEY SHOULD FIX IT. AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ITBECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLECT WARRANTY OR NOT.

IN THE MORNING WHEN I FIRST TURN ON THE CAR THERE IS BIG JERK WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM 15 TO 20MPH I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT GOES AWAY THIS HAPPENS ONLY ONCE IN THE MORNING. DURING THE DAY DRIVING THE STREETS A VERY SMALL SHUDDER JERK IS FELT NOT AS BIG AS THE ONE IN THE MORNINGS BUT THIS ONE IS CONSTANT THROUGH THE DAY

I WAS DRIVING MY ODESSEY HOME FROM WORK IN AVERAGE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. 30 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING WORK, I CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I ACCELERATED UPON THE LIGHT TURNING GREEN MY VAN SHUDDERED/JERKED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS BETWEEN 15 & 20 MPH. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FLUKE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THEN I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP AT A SECOND STOP LIGHT, NOT FIVE MINUTES LATER, AND AGAIN WHEN ACCELERATING IT REPEATED THE SHUDDER/JERK UPON SHIFTING BETWEEN 15-20MPH. I THEN CONTINUED ANOTHER 20-30 MINUTES HOME AND THE ISSUE REPEATED EVERY TIME I HAD TO SLOW MY SPEED BELOW 20MPH IT SHUDDERED/JERKED UPON ACCELERATING. I MADE IT HOME, DID NOT TURN OFF THE VAN, MY HUSBAND GOT IN AND DROVE IT TO A LOCAL SHOP ABOUT 5MIN DOWN THE ROAD AND EXPERIENCED ROUGH SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND THE CONTINUED ISSUE OF...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND DID NOT CHANGE GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERGSTROM HONDA (LOCATED AT 3285 S WASHBURN ST, OSHKOSH, WI 54904) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

TRANSMISSION SHAKES, JUDDERS ABOUT 20MPH THRU ABOUT 50MPH. TRANSMISSION JERKS AND LUNGS. I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS OTHER COMPLAINTS *ALL THE SAME* THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED.

MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY MOST NOTABLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS VERY COLD BELOW 30 DEGREES AND FIRST THING IN THE AM. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IT'S AS IF I'M STUCK IN FIRST GEAR AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SHIFTS AND IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS VERY LOUD & THEN THE CAR JERKS FORWARD FROM THE CAR SHIFTING. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WHEN MY CAR WAS VERY NEW WITHIN THE FIRST 1-2 YEARS. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET IT TO 'THROW A CODE' FOR THEM. I EVEN LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT SO THAT THEY COULD DRIVE THE CAR COLD IN THE MORNING AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THEM. IT IS VERY RANDOM WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN? AFTER READING MANY HONDA ODYSSEY ONLINE CHATS EVERYONE SAYS IT'S THE COMPUTER AND...

DESPITE KEEPING UP WITH THE REQUIRED MAINTANENCE, I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT 100K MILES. SHIFTS VERY HARD WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC- LURCHES. HUGE SPOT OF PAINT PEELING OFF THE BACK (SINCE INEASNT THE ORIGINAL OWNER HONDA WOULDN'T FIX IT) PAINT IS NOW STARTING TO CHIP HEAT THE CHROME ON. BOTH DOORS.

WENT TO START THE THE VAN WOULDN'T START. PUSHED THE PUSH START AGAIN IT STARTED. GOT 10 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND FELT A HARD JERK AND IT SHOOK A FEW TIMES AND THE STARTED IDLING HARD AND JERKED FORWARD . SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS GOING TO FALL OUT THE BOTTOM OF IT.NO SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON. THEN GOT TO WORK SHUT IT OFF WHEN BACK OUT 10 MIN LATER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE FCW LIGHT WAS ON FELT LIKE IT WAS STILL IDELING HARD. LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. WONDER WHY HONDA IS NOT RECALLING THEM. I HAVE 61,300 MILES ON MINE. SO HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES A CAR COMPANY HAVE TO HAVE TO ISSUE A RECALL. THESE ARE NOT INEXPENSIVE VEHICLES. MAY HAVE TO LOOK INTO AN ATTORNEY. I CAN SEE WHERE THIS COULD...

2 POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES OCCURRING AT 55000 MILES OR LESS WITH NO RECALL FROM HONDA: TRANSMISSION JERKING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WARPED BRAKE ROTORS AT LOW MILEAGE: ISSUE 1: WHEN TRAVELING UP A HILL (SMALL TO MODERATE GRADE) THE VAN HAS A JERKING MOTION AND THE NEEDLE ON THE ODOMETER BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 200 RPMS WITH THE FOOT STEADY ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR QUITE SOME TIME ON HILLS BUT NOW AT 55000 MILES THE VAN IS DOING IT ON A LEVEL SERVICE WHILE IN 2ND GEAR (OR WHEN TRANSITIONING TO 2ND FROM 1ST). AGAIN THE FOOT IS STEADY ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VAN JERKS WITH THE NEEDLE BOUNCING ON THE ODOMETER A FEW HUNDRED RPMS BACK AND FORTH FOR A SHORT BIT UNTIL INTO 3RD GEAR. I READ OF A TSB 16-060 THAT THE CAUSE IS IMPROPER HEATING OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID....

WE HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES, BEGINNING AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES WITH A NOTICEABLE JUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 117,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM ON AVERAGE ABOUT 10,000 MILES AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. THIS COINCIDES WITH NHTSA REFERENCE #10084801. AS OF YET, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY RESOLUTION TO THE TSB, AND I AM GROWING FRUSTRATED BY THE SUGGESTED "SOLUTION" OF TRIPLE CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY TIME THE SYMPTOMS SURFACE EVERY 10-15,000 MILES.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT OR FROM A SITUATION SUCH AS SLOWED TRAFFIC IN A STOP AND GO SETTING, VEHICLE REGULARLY LURCHES AND TRANSMISSION HESITATES BEFORE LOCKING INTO CORRECT GEAR AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATING FORWARD. IT SEEMS AS IF THE COMPUTER IS SEARCHING FOR CORRECT GEAR, BUT HESITATES WAY TOO LONG TO LOCK IN AS ENGINE SPEEDS HAVE ALREADY INCREASED. THIS HAPPENS MOST OFTEN AFTER ENGINE HAS WARMED FULLY.

WE CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND AS WE STARTED MOVING WHEN LIGHT WAS GREEN IN SLOW SPEED SOMETHING MADE A BIG CLUNK AND EACH TIME WE CAME TO A STOP AND PRESSED ON GAS PEDAL TO PROCEED THEN CLUNK AND JERK BECAME LOUDER AND MORE INTENSE. WE PULLED OVER TURNED VAN OFF STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT QUIT. WE HAVE IT IN THE HONDA DEALER NOW AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. THEY DID ADD TRANSMISSION FLUID. KEEPING OVER NIGHT PER OUR CHOIC OUT OF TWO (OR PICK UP AND TAKE HOME), TO SEE IF IT DOES SAME THING IN THE MORNING. IT'S VERY SCARY WE DON'T REALLY TRUST IT ON TRIPS. SO DISAPPOINTED. PLEASE HELP US! THERE IS ON YOUTUBE THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENING TO OURS IN SAME MAKE AND YEAR VAN. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/4D2LJTBUAKS. SEEMS AS THOUGH WHEN IT GOES TO SHIFT INTO SECOND THATS WHEN IT...

CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY DURING MILD ACCELERATION, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND SPEEDS. THIS CAN OCCUR RIGHT AFTER STARTUP OR CAN START AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO FIRST GEAR. IT CONTINUES UNTIL THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM DISSAPPEARS WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. IT OCCURS VERY RANDOMLY, I.E., INTERVALS OF WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE IT OCCUR AT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT., AND IT DOES NOT GIVE A COMPUTER CODE. THE DEALER CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION AND COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE.

WHEN PULLING OUT AFTER A STOP SIGN OR TURNING RIGHT AFTER A FULL STOP THE TRANSMISSION WILL VIOLENTLY JERK THE CAR FORWARD. HONDA RECOMMENDED FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION TWO TIMES TO FIX "MANUFACTURER DEFECT" AND IT DID NOT WORK, ACTUALLY IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE THE FLUSHING, WE PAID $297 AND NOT FIXED. SEE ATTACHED RECEIPTS.

TRANSMISSION BUCKING AT LOW SPEED AFTER DRIVING A WHILE. WHEN I DRIVE MY VAN OFF THE DRIVE WAY, EVERYTHING BEHAVES NORMALLY. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO. AFTER ON THE FREEWAY FOR 30 MINUTES OR LONGER WHILE STOPPING AT THE OFF RAMP WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT, THE VANS HAS PROBLEM TRYING TO SHIFT BETWEEN SPEED OF 20-40MPH. THE VANS BODY SHAKES VIOLENTLY AS IF IT WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH MULTIPLE LOW SPEED BUMPS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS DIFFICULTY HUNTING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR. I CAN SEE THE RPM MOVING UP AND DOWN CRAZILY AS IF IT ENGAGES A LOWER GEAR AND IMMEDIATELY DECIDES TO SWITCH TO HIGHER GEAR MULTIPLE TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS MOST PROMINENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT COMPLETE STOPS AND TRYING TO SPEED UP ON THE INCLINE STREET. WHEN IT IS ON HIGH SPEED, SUCH AS 50 MPH AND...

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AND AT APPROXIMATELY 20-30 THE CAR VIOLENTLY BUCKED/JUMPED. THIS HAPPENED EVER TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, AFTER SLOWING DOWN ON A CITY STREET, OR IN MY NEIGHBORHOODT TO MAKE A TURN OR FOR A RED LIGHT. SO, IT HAPPENED ACTUALLY ANYTIME THE SPEED DROPPED BELOW APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH.

CLANKING AND JERKING WILL NOT ACCELERATE ALSO WAS HIT IN DC TRAFFIC AND IT COULD NOT KEEP UP. TOOK IT IN A WITH VIDEO AND HONDA ACTED AS IF THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

TRANSMISSION EXHIBITS JERKY SHIFTING UNDER LOW SPEED, LIGHT ACCELERATION CONDITIONS. GENERALLY WHEN GOING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. TOLD DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY BEFORE CAR LEFT THE LOT AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD FIX IT. CALLED ME TWO DAYS LATER SAYING IT WAS DONE, BUT CAR CONTINUES TO DO SO. SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE A WASTE!

TRANSMISSION EXHIBITS JERKY SHIFTING UNDER LOW SPEED, LIGHT ACCELERATION CONDITIONS. GENERALLY WHEN GOING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. NOT PERFORMING. AT ALL WHAT A CAR OF THIS PRICE SHOULD NO RECALL BUT PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS LOUSY TRANSMISSION.

I STOPPED THE VEHICLE ON AN INCLINED STREET TO TALK WITH A NEIGHBOR. HE ASKED ME TO LOOK AT SOMETHING SO, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF NOT THINKING THE GEARSHIFT WAS STILL IN THE DRIVE POSITION. AFTER THE ENGINE STOPPED I STARTED TO EXIT THE CAR WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL. I APPLIED THE BRAKES THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND SHIFTED INTO PARK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE REQUIRING A RECALL BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS INJURED OR KILLED.

WE PURCHACED A BRAND NEW ELITE (2014) OUR FIRST ISSUE THE TRANSMISSION BUCKED AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS SO WE TOOK IT IN 2/2016. THEY STATED THAT IT REQUIRED A FRIMWARE UPDATE. NOW THE VAN VIBRATES BETWEEN AND 25-35 AND ALSO 60-65 MPH ALSO WHEN YOU ACCELERATE ITS NOW JERKY AND/OR UN-SMOOTH WITH SHIFTING. WE TOOK IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP (8/16)TO FIX THIS NEW ISSUE NOW THE TECH REPORTS THAT THE FLUID IS BLACK. THE VAN ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES....HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE CAR BUCKING WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. ALSO ACCELERATING PROBLEMS WITH IT BEING JERKY AND/OR UN-SMOOTH. IT SOMETIMES JOLTS FORWARD AS WELL. WHEN VAN IS TAKEN OUT OF PART ON ANY INCLINE, THERE IS A LOUD "CLUNK" AS IT SHIFTS INTO REVERSE. PURCHASED THE VAN BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2014. VEHICLE NOW HAS LESS THAN 26,000 MILES ON IT.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR BUCKING WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. ALSO ACCELERATING PROBLEMS WITH IT BEING JERKY AND/OR UN-SMOOTH. IT SOMETIMES JOLTS FORWARD AS WELL. WE JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM A DEALER LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO WITH 16,500 MILES ON IT.

TRANSMISSION HAS HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING AT EVERY GEAR LEVEL (1ST TO 2ND, 2ND TO 3RD, ETC.) HONDA DEALER REPORTS THAT THE FLUID IS BLACK. IT ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES. I SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE 2014 ODYSSEY...HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

WHILE I AM DRIVING THE HONDA ODYSSEY TODAY, EVERYTIME I WAS INCREASING THE SPEED FROM 0, IT WAS GIVING BIG JERK. I STOPPED AND AGAIN INCREASED THE SPEED, SAME PROBLEM. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED, THEN IT WAS FINE. SAME THING HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN PAST, BUT NEVER RECOGNIZED THE PATTERN.

OUR 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT AND WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE NEW BRAKES THREE TIMES AND ROTORS RESURFACED TWICE. WE JUST HAD TO HAVE A BENT AXLE REPLACED. THE NEW AXLE WAS ALSO BENT SO A THIRD ONE HAD TO BE INSTALLED.

VERY ROUGH TRANSMISSION DOWN-SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST WHEN SLOWING DOWN, BUT NOT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THEN ACCELERATING. THIS CAN BE AVOIDED BY VERY SLOWLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON ACCELERATION (VERY SLOW ACCELERATION). I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. I DO NOT FEEL THIS TYPE OF OPERATION IS NORMAL. FURTHER, I SEE MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. MILEAGE IS ABOUT 18,000, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW (PURCHASED 10/30/14).

MY 2014 ODYSSEY HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CLUNK. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO UNDER 20-30KM/H THEN LIFTING OFF THE BRAKE THEN APPLYING THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS/SHUDDERS LOUDLY AND YOU FEEL IT. I CAN REPRODUCE THIS 95% OF THE TIME. I WILL BE TAKING THIS INTO THE DEALER AND WILL UPDATE. BUT SEEING THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS EXACT THING HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

WE BOUGHT A 2014 HONDA ODESSEY IT'S STARTED JERKING WHEN IT WAS 7500 MILES WHILE DRIVING IN SURFACE STREET IN HENDERSON, NV WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER HAVE IT FIXED THEY SAID THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE THEN STARTED JERKING AGAIN FOR THE 2ND TIME WHEN IT WAS 2700 MILES THAT ALMOST CAUSE US INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING TO LOS ANGELES. WE HAD IT TOWED ON 11/29/15 BY AAA FROM LA TO OC IN OUR HOTEL BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY KIDS IN IT. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE JERKS COMES AND GO EVERYTIME WE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY KEEP SAYING IT NEEDS AN SOFTWARE UPDATE THEY KEPT OUR CAR AT THE DEALER FOR 2 DAYS THIS TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH IT THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AGAIN. WE LIVED IN LAS VEGAS NOW WE ARE AFRAID TO MAKE A LONG...

I LEASED MY 2014 ODYSSEY ON JUNE 2014. I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT ITS JERKING, THOSE LOUD CLUNK DURING SHIFT TO 1ST TO 2ND GEAR STARTED YESTERDAY EVENING WHEN I DROVE HOME WITH MY WIFE FROM AIRPORT IN STOP AND DRIVE TRAFFIC. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 10-20 MILES PER HOUR. IT CONTINUED TO JERK AND CLUNK FOR 10 MILES AS I DROVE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MADE OUR HEARTS BEAT AS IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO FALL OUT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER NEXT DAY MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AS NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES CAME UP. THEY CANNOT GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE ISSUE NOW. I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO THEM AS SOON AS THE PROBLEM OCCUR. THEY ONLY DID SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR ME AT THAT TIME,...

ON SEVERAL PREVIOUS OCCASIONS AND ON THIS DATE IN PARTICULAR EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS JERK THAT APPEARED TO BE TRANSMISSION RELATED WHEN STARTING BACK FROM A LOW MILE PER HOUR SLOW DOWN. AFTER THE JERKING BETWEEN GEARS IT SEEMED TO OPERATE MORE SMOOTHLY THE NEXT TIME. THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS CONCERNING AS THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILE BUT THE WARRANTY IS ALMOST HALF OVER IN MONTHS. AM CONSIDERING PURSUIT OF A "LEMON" LAW CLAIM FOR THIS AND OTHER MORE MINOR ISSUES. WE TOLD THE DEALER OF THE INCIDENTS AND THEY SAID THAT THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS WE NEED TO GO TO A HONDA DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND NOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO SEE IF THE ERROR IS RECORDED IN THE ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. NOT A VERY CONVENIENT FIX.

WE WERE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN CA AND OUR 2014 ODYSSEY ENGINE BEGAN TO CLUNK AND WHOLE CAR JERKED (LIKE RUNNING OVER SOMETHING LIKE A SPEED BUMP) EACH TIME WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH SECOND GEAR. FELT LIKE HITTING SOMETHING OR ENGINE FALLING OUT. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 20-30 MILES PER HOUR. IT CONTINUED TO JOLT/JERK/AND CLUNK FOR 20 MILES AS WE DROVE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MADE MY HEART SKIP BEATS AS IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO FALL OUT/LIKE BEING IN A CRASH. CONTACTED HONDA BUT THEIR SERVICE WAS ABOUT TO CLOSE. WE PULLED OVER TO DO OUR ERRAND AND WHEN WE RESTARTED THE CAR IT STOPPED. THE SHIFTING ON THE VEHICLE IS NOT SMOOTH THROUGH GEARS. TOOK NEXT DAY TO HONDA AND THEY WILL NOT FIX AS NO DIAGNOSTIC...

I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND DRIVING A STEADY 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN. AFTER I REALIZED WHAT THE SITUATION WAS I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, STEERED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AS SOON AS IT WAS SAFE TO DO AND STOPPED. I JUST HAD THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER REPLACED WHEN THIS EVENT HAPPENED 3.7 MILES FROM THE REPAIR SHOP. I SUSPECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CHANGE. AFTER STOPPING I CHECKED FOR OIL UNDER ENGINE (NONE) AND THEN CHECKED THE DIPSTICK (FULL). I HAD THE VAN TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE THEIR PERSONNEL CHECKED UNDER THE ENGINE FOR AN OIL LEAK AND THEN CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AS I HAD DONE. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VAN TO HONDA. IT?S BEEN A WEEK AND HONDA SAID I NEED NEW HEADS FOR THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE TIMING ?JUMPED?. THE OIL CHANGE HAD NO EFFECT ON THIS FAILURE....

RPMS RACE WHILE VAN IS IN IDLE AN TAKES OFF WITH A JUMP IN TRANSMISSION. CLANKING NOISE METAL ON METAL IN REAR BRAKES, DOWNSHIFTS AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 35 MPH, SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN AND TRANSMISSION JUMPS FEELS LIKE BEING REAR ENDED, PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T ENGAGE AT TIMES, ON FLAT WHEN PUTTING INTO PARK TRANSMISSION CLUNKS AND VEHICLE HAS A DEFINITE MOVEMENT LIKE SOMETHING FALLING OUT OR ON VEHICLE, LOOSES POWER AT 65 MPH NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE GAS PEDAL IS FLOORED THEN SUDDENLY JUMPS INTO HIGH SPEED THRUSTING VAN FORWARD, TRANSMISSION JUMPS SEVERELY WHEN PARKED ON A GRADED SLOPE AND MAKE METAL CLANKING SOUND. DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO ISSUES AND THIS IS ALL NORMAL. THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND I AM WORRIED THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AT ONE POINT SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO SENSORS WERE PERFORMED...

WE GOT THIS BRAND NEW 2014 ODYSSEY IN EARLY 2014, NOW WITH LESS THAN 7500 MILES. RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN NOTICING ROUGH, JERKY TRANSMISSION SHIFTING (VERY NOTICEABLE BETWEEN LOW GEARS). TODAY I WENT TO THE HONDA SERVICE AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES. THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS SURPRISED, AND TOLD ME THERE IS NO SUCH ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. AFTER INSISTING, HE MADE AN APPOINTMENT THIS COMING THURSDAY MORNING SO THAT HIS MECHANIC TO RIDE WITH ME SO THAT I CAN SHOW HIM. I HOPE THE PROBLEM CAN BE DUPLICATED WHEN WE DO THE TEST RIDE WITH THEM. AND THEN I AM AFRAID IF THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN DURING THIS TEST RIDE OR IF IT DOES THEY ARE NOT BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE OR WORST IS THEY MAY NOT ADMIT THERE IS ANY TRANSMISSION JERKING AND TELL ME ..... EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE...
