2014 Honda Odyssey Power Train

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.

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 WAS EXTENDING TO THE 11-13 MODELS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS WE WERE EXPERIENCING. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATION AND THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME OUR VAN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AND AS PROBLEMS CONTINUED TO ARISE TO CONTINUE WHAT WE WERE DOING AND FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR MECHANIC (WHO HAS ADVISED ME TO NOW GET RID OF VEHICLE DUE TO HONDA'S POSITION) AND THAT IN THE TECHNICIAN'S OPINION FUEL INJECTORS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE NEXT COURSE OF ACTION.

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

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 YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS HAS SEEMED TO WORK AND STOPS THE JERKY SHIFTING FOR THE TIME BEING. SO NOW WHEN MY CAR STARTS JERKING ME DOWN THE ROAD AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT I HAVE TO PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFE AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE AND RESTART IT. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THERE WOULD BE A RECALL BY NOW BUT I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE REPORTED IT EARLIER. TO SUM IT UP THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTERIZED SHIFTING MECHANISM THAT FOR SOME REASON WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE KEEPS THE CAR IN LOW GEARS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EVERY TIME I'VE HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED THEY COMMENT ON HOW DIRTY IT IS? I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THEM AND NO ONE CAN SOLVE IT?

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.

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

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.

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 ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN 15-20MPH. AT OUR ARRIVAL TO THE SHOP HE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND WE RETURNED HOME. ON THIS RETURN TRIP AND THE NEXT DAY ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK THERE ARE NO FURTHER ISSUES OF ROUGH SHIFTING OR JERKING WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO CAUSE THIS TO START AND OTHER THAN TURNING OFF THE VAN AND RESTARTING IT, NOTHING WAS DONE TO REMEDY IT EITHER. I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A SERVICE CENTER, BECAUSE THE ISSUE CAN NOT BE REPLICATED AT THIS TIME.

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.

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 BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

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.

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 CLUNK AND JERKS.

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.

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 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.

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 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 ABOVE, IT DRIVES SMOOTHLY. I THINK THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO COMPENSATE BETWEEN BEST GEAR RATIO AND BEST FUEL ECONOMY GEAR AT THE GIVEN SPEED. A THE SPEED WHERE CONSTANT SPEED IS NOT ACHIEVED SUCH AS HILL CLIMBING OR ACCELERATING FROM STOP AT THE OFF RAMP TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE COMPUTER CONFUSED.

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!

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.
