Tl* 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.
When the vehicle is at 5 to 20 mph during acceleration, transmission makes clunk noise and jerks. when this happens there is no response from transmission for few seconds and suddenly shift gears with jerk and pushes the vehicle (feels someone is hitting from back). this issue is random during traffic lights, heavy traffic and freeway merge. having kids on the vehicle and driving is bigger safety concern and this behavior will likely hit other vehicles as acceleration is exceptionally sluggish and will not respond. when the vehicle is above 45 mph and drives without any issues. vehicle been to dealer service center twice but they said we are unable to reproduce it and it's really frustrating. this issue has been raised to honda by many owners but so far no update from them. here are some ref. http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/odyssey/2014/transmission/vehicle_jerking_loud_clunking_noise.shtml http://www.odyclub.com/forums/9-problems-concerns/182841-ex-2014-transmission-motor-problem.html http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2014/honda/odyssey/engine/problem.aspx. *tr
As i try to accelerate from a low speed, for example entering an intersection or a highway, the transmission slips and bangs into gear, causing the van to hesitate before it moves, it is a violent feeling, almost like being rear ended from another vehicle. i have brought it to the dealer numerous times and had the technician experience what i was talking about verifying something is wrong. then when i go to pick it up after its been fixed, i am told by the manager that it is normal because no codes came up. *tr
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. *tr
Driving approx 25mph through town when engine rpms increased a bit as it briefly slipped out of gear, then it caught itself and abruptly went into approx 5th gear (6 speed transmission). from there vehicle was only using 2 gears (~2nd and 5th) and every time it up shifted into 5th (from a stoplight, etc.) it was very abrupt, and made a loud clunk noise - it was so hard it felt like the powertrain was going to be ripped off the engine mounts and out of the engine compartment (seriously). immediately limped vehicle to closest dealer. dealer replicated event and determined transmission fluid was overfilled (approx half a quart). this was an issue from the factory and manufacturing process. the selling dealer did not cover/discover this overfill as part of the vehicle sell checklist process (if i were them, not sure i would have noticed a half-quart either). apparently a half quart makes a big difference in the internal pressure of the transmission which caused this issue. if this would have happened on the highway or otherwise it could have been worse or caused an accident. it was bad enough limping through town. dealer removed excess fluid and appears to be operating fine (although i now question the longevity of the transmission after this incident). this was obviously an issue during assembly and i am sure i am not the only one that may have been affected. i only assuming that a robot was inadvertently overfilling the fluid on a bunch of transmissions along the way. can provide vin as necessary. *tr
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. *js
