The vehicle makes hard shifts in lower gears, causing a lack of acceleration and then a lurch with engine/transmission clunk. Occurs when accelerating from a slowed or stopped position, so vehicle can be stationary or in motion when this occurs. Has happened before but dealership could not replicate. Similar complaints with lack of resolution found in online forums as well. Presents a significant safety concern since acceleration is altered and shifting is slowed. Has occured on residential roads and highway and at varying outdoor temperatures.
My Honda Odyssey was experiencing a bucking sensation that occurred periodically but stopped after being restarted. Brought vehicle to dealer, who didn't find actual problem but during an evaluation of the vehicle detected a weakened engine mount and leaking spool valve, both of which could have lead to a loss of the engine if condition persisted. Both needed replacement at high cost, and to demonstrate that this was not a singular event was seen in another customer's Odyssey that afternoon. Considering so-called reliability of Honda, there's no reason for engine mount to have issues and there was a hint that there is an ongoing problem with the spool valve. This is something that could have lead to serious issues. However the original problem involving the 'slipping of the transmission' still persists and represents another potential safety issue with this van. The 'slipping issue' occurs when accelerating or decelerating around 20 mph or when achieving highway speeds off ramp. It does stop after the vehicle is turned off and then turned on again. Some of these issues may be more common than Honda is letting on.
Fire started in engine compartment and engulfed front end of vehicle within 10 mins. Vehicle had just been parked in driveway of home after being driven for approximately 1 hour. My wife noticed the smell of smoke upon exiting vehicle and when I opened the hood there were flames visible at the back of the engine.
2015 Odyssey vehicle's jerking experience started during a stop and go traffic. With three kids and two adults, we were extremely frightened. The vehicle jerked violently when I pushed the gas pedal during the low speed, 5-20 mph. I went away later that day and we went about our business. After we go back to our home, went to the local Honda dealer after making an appointment. Of course, we were not able to replicate the violent jerk experience. They said until they see it, there's nothing they can do. It was initially around 30k miles when this started now over. It has not happened in a few months but Honda is not taking this seriously.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Odyssey. While driving approximately 32 mph and approaching a red light, the motor stopped and all the electrical functions seized. The contact maneuvered the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was turned off, restarted, and returned to normal. The failure recurred once. The contact scheduled a repair appointment with the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,176.
When I pulled up to a parking spot and took my foot off the gas peddle and placed it on the break the engine started to accelerate and engine rpm's climbed about 1000 rpm's. The car's transmission was still in drive (d). I had to force the transmission into park (p) and push the start/stop button to shut the engine off. This incident almost caused me to rear end a parked car.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the front of the vehicle around the engine compartment and wheels began to vibrate. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that the vehicle functioned as intended. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer who acknowledged the vibration but was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 700.
Had my vehicle drove on freeway for an hour and when pulling on to a shopping center, there was a stop and go. At that point the engine/transmission starting jerking and shaking. There was sound from engine/tranmission like some metal crushing or breaking. Stopped the vehicle for a while and the issue didn't happen again. Dealer not able to replicate this issue and so no fix.
Had purchased my 2015 Honda Odyssey in the year of 2015. When I first went in for a first service my car have a light saying check engine, check vsa, check ldw, check fdw and once a while my shake when we are on the road. We told the service people at the dealership to have a look at it but they said nothing wrong with it.
I was driving in traffic for an hour or so, in first or second gear. After a while, anytime we would accelerate to about 20 mph, we experienced a violent jerking as if we just ran over something. This happened consistently every time we accelerated to or decelerated to 20mph. Took it into Honda the next day and they couldn't find a problem. The jerking was very strong and consistent for about an hour or driving. We are still planning to call Honda, it seems like others have experienced the same issue but no root cause has been found.
