2011 Honda Odyssey Power Train

NOV OF 2016 TOOK MY 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SHUDDER BETWEEN 40-45 MPH. SERVICE TECH STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDS TO BE DRAINED PER HONDA PROCEDURE. FLUIDS WERE DRAINED AND SHUDDER STOPPED. MAY 2018 TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE IN 2016 AT THIS TIME SERIVCE TECH STATES THAT MY FRONT BRAKE CALIPER, LEFT FRONT DRIVE SHAFT NEED REPLACING. THOSE ITEMS WERE REPLACED. THEN OCT 2019 BACK AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AGAIN WITH THE SHUDDER AT 40-45 MPH. THE SERICE TECH NOW STATES THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AGAIN PER HONDA PROCEDURE THAT ITS DARK AND DIRTY. AFTER LOOKING AT TRANSMISSION FLUID ITS NOT DARK OR DIRTY. STILL TRANSPARENT AND NO BURNT SMELL OF BAD FLUID. AFTER RESEARCHING THESE YEAR MODEL VANS ARE BIG ON TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEMS. SERVICE TECH PERFOMED A SNAP SHOT AND VERIFIRED TORQUE CONVERTER JUDDER BUT ARE NOT WANTING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED AND STILL HAVING SAME ISSUE WITH SHUDDER. HONDA DECLINES TO ACCEPT THE ISSUE.

CAR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION JUDDERS AND GEAR SHIFTS UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY WHEN CRUISING BETWEEN 30-45 MPH AND 60MPH. ENGINE SHAKES AND RPM IS SEEN GOING UP AND DOWN ALSO.

AT 95K MILES, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT COOLING, FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER USED FOR TOWING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC THEME (BAD TRANSMISSIONS) WITH HONDA ODYSSEYS.

AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO THE SECOND GEAR, THE ENTIRE CAR WILL SHUDDER. SAME THING HAPPENS OFTEN ON THE THIRD, FOURTH, AND FIFTH. ANOTHER THING THAT HAPPENS ON THE TRANSMISSION IS THAT WHEN IT'S IN OVERDRIVE IN THE SIXTH GEAR, THE RPM WILL JUMP ABOUT A HUNDRED OR TWO, UP AND DOWN, RANDOMELY. WHEN IT'S ALSO IN OVERDRIVE, IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE. IN THE CABIN, IT SOUNDS LIKE AN EXTREME WIND NOISE, BUT YOU CAN TELL THAT IT'S COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I GIVE THE CAR SOME GAS. SOME OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I'M HAVING BECAUSE PEOPLE ON THE FORUM ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.
