My 2008 honda odyssey has significant lurching when trying to maintain acceleration between 20 to 30 miles per hour. This problem started approx one year after purchasing the vehicle. Honda replaced the torque converter, but the same problem continued. Honda just recently implemented a "software update" - honda bulletin #09-053 (lock up clutch function). This problem seems very similar to on-going complaints…

Brakes are too soft. Had accident twice already because brakes dont react like they are suppose to. You have to push the brake down really hard. With that also said transmission has been a problem since day 1. You hear a loud noise when you change gears. Went to the honda dealer and they said its normal. I dont think this should be making loud grunting noise. *tr

The car has been vibrating when accelerating for about 10,000 miles. I took it in and they updated the software and it is 3x worse then before. I have 33,000 miles on it and i was told the next step is for me to pay for a transmission flush and if that does not fix it then they will replace the torque converter. Why should i have to pay for this under warranty, if they are just delaying fixing the real issue. *tr
