1 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2019

Eco causes signifiant vibration at various rpm's/speeds and delayed shifting as the computer decides to go into eco or remain. Most notable at higher speeds above 65 mph. Current Odyssey has had torque converter replaced, transmission software updated, front axels replaced and tires road force balanced. None of the above fixes has effected the vibration felt during eco going in/out and especially vibration felt in the steering wheel and cabin. Honda shop has informed me that this is par for the course for Honda eco's and there is no current fix for the vibrations. This is unacceptable that no current fix is in place and should be addressed by Honda as numerous complaints online of others with similar issue.

2 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2018

Transmission problem. When coming to a stop at low speed, and then accelerating, van has a jerk or hard shift between gears 1-2. This hard shift is enough to throw us back into our seats and does not occur at high speeds. Fluid has been flushed and torque converter changed but still occurs. It can happen after first starting car or after a long drive. Specifically notice this in yield type situations, round about a and when slowing down to turn into our neighborhood, where the car is decelerating and then accelerated. It feels as if the car does not know which groups ear to be in and then jerks down into gear after a brief pause.
