    Power Train

    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.

    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…

    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…

    When accelerating from a stopped position, the car did not accelerate and at approximately 20-30 the car violently bucked/jumped. This happened ever time i tried to accelerate onto an interstate highway, after slowing down on a city street, or in my neighborhoodt to make a turn or for a red light. So, it happened actually anytime the speed dropped below approximately 20 mph.

    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.

    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.

    I stopped the vehicle on an inclined street to talk with a neighbor. He asked me to look at something so, i turned the ignition off not thinking the gearshift was still in the drive position. After the engine stopped i started to exit the car when it began to roll. I applied the brakes then restarted the car and shifted into park. This is a safety issue requiring a recall before somebody gets injured or killed.

    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!

    While i am driving the honda odyssey today, everytime i was increasing the speed from 0, it was giving big jerk. I stopped and again increased the speed, same problem. I turned it off and restarted, then it was fine. Same thing happened many times in past, but never recognized the pattern.

    Transmission problems 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. We just purchased this car used from a dealer less than 2 months ago with 16,500 miles on it.

    My 2014 odyssey have the transmission clunk. When slowing down to under 20-30km/h then lifting off the brake then applying the gas the transmission clunks/shudders loudly and you feel it. I can reproduce this 95% of the time. I will be taking this into the dealer and will update. But seeing that there are numerous people complaining of this exact thing honda needs to issue a recall.

    On several previous occasions and on this date in particular experienced a serious jerk that appeared to be transmission related when starting back from a low mile per hour slow down. After the jerking between gears it seemed to operate more smoothly the next time. This intermittent problem is concerning as the vehicle has less than 15,000 mile but the warranty is almost half over in months. Am considering pursuit…
