While driving, the idle started to become rough and engine vibration increased. Check engine light and additional warning lights appeared in the dash. Error code p0302 was the primary error code for misfire cylinder 2 when the errors were scanned at home and confirmed by shop affiliated with car dealership. The spark plug in cylinder 2 was inspected and identified to be fouled and covered in oil. Additionally the…

When accelerating normally, a shaking, sluggish sensation begins in 2nd gear going through 3rd. If i settle out within one of the gears, it goes away. It only happens when i'm accelerating. The speeds when it occurs range from 20-40 mph. If i were to truly step on it, it doesn't seem to get worse, it actually almost disappears. If anyone else has this problem, please post it up. Dont want it getting worse and…

In 2018 my 2015 honda van had problems shifting gears. I was going about 25mph when there was a jolt and the car shook from the transmission shifting gears. I took the car in an was told the computer needed to be updated. The update occurred and the van ran fine. Today the van did the same thing. I see several a lot of similar complaints on the internet.

Occasionally when driving at slow speeds the car struggles and lurches forward and loses power. It is very scary when it happens. It feels like it is stuck in neutral and you lose power. Problem is it doesn't happen consistently, and have not been able to take it directly to the dealer while it happens. I think it is dangerous, because i believe it could cause an accident one day. I've googled it and have found many…

Eco causes signifiant vibration at various rpm's/speeds and delayed shifting as the computer decides to go into eco or remain. Most notable at higher speeds above 65 mph. Current odyssey has had torque converter replaced, transmission software updated, front axels replaced and tires road force balanced. None of the above fixes has effected the vibration felt during eco going in/out and especially vibration felt in…

The vehicle makes hard shifts in lower gears, causing a lack of acceleration and then a lurch with engine/transmission clunk. Occurs when accelerating from a slowed or stopped position, so vehicle can be stationary or in motion when this occurs. Has happened before but dealership could not replicate. Similar complaints with lack of resolution found in online forums as well. Presents a significant safety concern…

Purchased car new in 2015, honda odyssey, have had shifting issues between gears jerking. Problem started within past year, seems to get a little worse and you can feel it shifting rough. I see various others with same issue, could this be a future recall i hope, i have 65k miles so that would be sad product to have this occur. This is my first honda and thought they were reliable vehicles, don't have money to…

My honda odyssey was experiencing a bucking sensation that occurred periodically but stopped after being restarted. Brought vehicle to dealer, who didn't find actual problem but during an evaluation of the vehicle detected a weakened engine mount and leaking spool valve, both of which could have lead to a loss of the engine if condition persisted. Both needed replacement at high cost, and to demonstrate that this…

After reversing out of the driveway (slowly) and putting the car in drive i noticed a hard clunking sound. I thought it was just a rough shift. When i continued to drive down my block 5-15 mph to the stop sign it continued. It feels like another vehicle is crashing into you and slamming on the breaks. You lose 'control' of the gas pedal (your foot is on the gas, you hear a large clunk and the gas pedal doesn't make…

Some late model honda 6 speed transmissions can not be downshifted! On a long downhill grade, the brakes were not adequate and are now burned and vibrate. I know not to 'ride' your brakes but there was no alternative, either travel at a crawl with traffic backing up behind me or having a runaway car. I learned to drive in colorado and know the safety provided by downshifting the transmission to control your downhill…

I purchased my 2015 honda odyssey brand new and have done all the maintenance on time with honda. My sliding doors do not stop if something is in the way. I have had multiple times where a child has tried to go in/out while the door is shutting and it has not stopped, this is a safety issue! Then in 2018 with only 32k miles or so i started to hear a squeal type noise at 2k rpm and about 60mph. It only happened a few…

Transmission problem. When coming to a stop at low speed, and then accelerating, van has a jerk or hard shift between gears 1-2. This hard shift is enough to throw us back into our seats and does not occur at high speeds. Fluid has been flushed and torque converter changed but still occurs. It can happen after first starting car or after a long drive. Specifically notice this in yield type situations, round about a…

A few months after our purchase the odyssey seemed to jerk after slowing down and then taking off (city stop and go traffic). We mentioned this at our service and the dealership said it was normal with the eco. Last week my family heading out on vacation. About 6 hours, highway driving, into our drive we came upon heavy traffic. We had several miles of stop and go. My wife was driving and then all of a sudden, the…

2015 odyssey vehicle's jerking experience started during a stop and go traffic. With three kids and two adults, we were extremely frightened. The vehicle jerked violently when i pushed the gas pedal during the low speed, 5-20 mph. I went away later that day and we went about our business. After we go back to our home, went to the local honda dealer after making an appointment. Of course, we were not able to…

Had my vehicle drove on freeway for an hour and when pulling on to a shopping center, there was a stop and go. At that point the engine/transmission starting jerking and shaking. There was sound from engine/tranmission like some metal crushing or breaking. Stopped the vehicle for a while and the issue didn't happen again. Dealer not able to replicate this issue and so no fix.

Upon proceeding after the light when i would accelerate between 15 & 20 mph the car started to jerk or buck forward when going from 15 to past 20 mph. It did this again at 25 to 30 mph. Once past the 30 mph speed i was ok again. This happen each and every time i would stop and then…

While accelerating after being stopped at a stop sign, the car made a clunking noise and the car jerked severely as we accelerated into gear. It happened at least 2 more times after being stopped at a couple of stop signs. It was very frightening when it happened and is a safety issue as the driver's attention is taken away when it happens. The scariest part is not knowing when it's going to happen. When there is a…

On august 9, 2015, we were driving home from vacation from cedar point, ohio to pittsburgh, pa. This is about a 200 mile trip. The vehicle ran smoothly the entire trip until i left the turnpike of driving 60-70 miles per hour and then began driving on a road with a 40 mph speed limit. All of a sudden i was at a red light waiting in traffic. As soon as the light turned green, i pressed the accelerator. We began…

I was driving in rush hour stop and go traffic and once i stopped and accelerated between 10 - 20 mph the car would make a loud clunking noise and the car would shake as if the car was slipping gears, and then would drive fine. Once i stopped again and accelerated it would do the same thing. It did this 6 times in a row so i pulled over and had it towed to the dealer. Dealer could not replicate issue, no codes or…

I just recently bought a 2015 honda odyssey (jan.2015) and at around 1700 miles i felt a double clunking sound/jerk when i was going at about 15 mph to 20 mph. I kept riding my van straight to the dealer and every time i came to a complete stop, and started up again, it would make the same loud clunk when shifting from 1st to 2nd at around 20 mph. My biggest mistake was to turn the engine off when i arrived at the…

I was driving in traffic for an hour or so, in first or second gear. After a while, anytime we would accelerate to about 20 mph, we experienced a violent jerking as if we just ran over something. This happened consistently every time we accelerated to or decelerated to 20mph. Took it into honda the next day and they couldn't find a problem. The jerking was very strong and consistent for about an hour or driving. We…
