general problems of the 2014 Honda Odyssey - part 2

I was driving on the highway when I heard a loud clunk. Thought I hit a bump but when I got off the highway and stopped at a light the car starting bucking between 0-30 miles per hour. It continued to do so at every start. Drove it to Honda dealership where they found nothing wrong with vehicle. Have done research on vehicle only to find numerous other complaints of same issue. This is dangerous! if I was trying to cross an intersection and it started bucking, I might not make it out of intersection on time. Please investigate this issue as Honda is saying nothing is wrong with their cars.

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).

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 etc. I hope this car is not a lemon and we end up fighting in a battle with Honda pursuing the lemon law. I could not find anywhere on the Honda or Honda owner's website any link so that I could submit to Honda these issues. I like to find other website where I could find more information on such issues.

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.

From a stop or yield, upon acceleration van jerked. It did this several times all the way back to the dealership. Technicians could not get the van to duplicate this action, so they could do nothing.

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.

All body part of this new van are loose. . Both side front windows while open and close or open the door seems like its broke and windows shakes rear suspension very noise on brad new van seems like driving 10 year old beat up car passenger side inside between 2nd and 3rd row body parts are lose I have contact the Honda they don't want to take care . . Please let me know what should I do. Its a new van under 5000 miles and having major issue.

Transmission problems started very early on, I bought vehicle in March 2014. The transmission jerks/bucks horribly especially in lower gears, while stopping/breaking, while accelerating, and also during turns. It jolts forward at times uncontrollably. Also, it doesn't shift correctly into gears, which causes rpms to get above 3000 just during regular driving. Also has problems with downshifting properly. The front rotors and breaks have already had to be replaced at only 12,800 miles. Imo, I believe they warped due to the fact that the transmission does not downshift properly, (this caused extra strain on them with the lack of assist from the transmission). The transmission also lags during acceleration, especially when you are trying to pass someone on the highway, even the slightest pressing of the breaks before changing lanes causes major lag with trying to regain speed, then the vehicle you originally tried to pass is now further ahead of you, so overall it is horrible with passing speed/acceleration. Brought into dealer and they claim nothing is wrong. Their famous lines are "no code no problem", "we can't duplicate the problem", or they say "its normal". During a test drive with the service director and the mechanic, the problem was in fact duplicated. The mechanic acknowledged that there was a problem, however the service director still insisted it was driving normal. Thankfully, I audio-recorded the test drive so I do have physical proof that the mechanic achknoledged that my transmission was having problems during the test drive. I now record all my conversations with them and take pictures/video's of the various problems to have as proof since they always give me excuse after excuse and lie. I also have other various problems with my van which I will file in seperate complaint due to limited space.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while shifting from park to reverse or drive, the vehicle intermittently rolled without the brake pedal being depressed. The contact had to depress the brake pedal numerous times to prevent the vehicle from rolling. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000. Updated 8/14/cn.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The check engine light and other lights came on. The vehicle would not go over 10 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that a valve switch had failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was not available. Updated 2/26/cn.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Odyssey. When the vehicle was stopped, it shook and an abnormal noise emitted from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. However, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.

I've noticed on cold nights/days (temps below 40 degrees). The engine temp is slightly lower than normal. The vehicle at a complete stop (at stop lights) then go that while I accelerate it stalls, the gas pedal would go down but would not accelerate then after a few seconds would jerk into speed. I've had 4 other Honda's and this is the first one that has done this.

While shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear, the car's transmission experiences a jerk/clunk that resonates throughout the vehicle. This issue occurs both while accelerating slowly from a stop, or while accelerating slowly while the vehicle is already in a slow coast. The worst jerks occur when the vehicle is slowly accelerated while turning the vehicle. In all cases, the problem occurs during gentle acceleration (gas conservation) versus quick acceleration. Unfortunately, this problem is intermittent and has yet to be replicated by my neighborhood Honda auto repair/dealership. No fault codes have been found on the computer. I have experienced similar symptoms in rear wheel drive cars that have resulted in the replacement of those transmissions. However, I have been told by the Honda repair representatives that this issue is normal for the car. It is my opinion that no new car should experience a jerking motion while driving, especially at slow speeds.
