    I noticed the vibration on our honda odyssey about 2 months ago. Then a month ago, had our prepaid service done and asked them to check the vibration and they said it's normal.

Brought it back again today (6/30/11), told them it needed a new torque…

    Extreme pressure had to be applied to the brakes, in order to get the vehicle to slow down on a downhill road at the same time the clutch shuddered, it not only shuddered, but it made the entire vehicle shake and rattle as if it were falling apart. Scared to take the vehicle on long run. Also vehicle shakes sometimes during normal braking action. *tr

    Failure of transmission due to (in dealer's words) "a crack or porous metal casing." this is at least the third repair of the transmission. Two previous episodes of transmission fluid leakage were deemed by the dealer "caused by a loose bolt." the first time shortly after vehicle delivery bolt was tighten, second time bolt was tighten and set with lock tight which required overnight stay at dealer service center.…

The hesitation and juddering creates a very large vibration through the entire minivan. Our odyssey has had two software updates and it appears the torque converter will need to be replaced next. This issue has been happening since…

First we could feel the engine jutter between 35 - 40 mph when upshifting. Dealer said it needed a software upgrade. We got the software upgrade - made it worse. They then said it needed a new torque converter. The new torque converter fixed the juttering, now the downshifting is not smooth.…

    Vehicle shudders at low speeds when downshifting. Upshifting at low speeds (25 mph) it also shudders as it "hunts" for a gear. At highway speeds transmission shudders shifting into overdrive and when the variable cylinder management (vcm) system switches on or off. There is an intermittent steering wheel shake at 70 mph which seems to be related. *tr

While driving (when changing gear - auto) it shakes the van like crazy. Imagine on the highway while driving all of a sudden it fails and throws the van to complete stop or in different lane. The car/truck behind me may run over me. When i ask the dealer to have it replaced as it is…
