CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 and 2015 Honda Odyssey shows an early trend of transmission problems with clunking/jerking when shifting gears.

Most of these Odyssey transmissions are still under warranty, but so far Toyota generally hasn't been able to diagnose or fix the clunking problem — that's the reason for our low rating. Some owners have reported it was a stuck solenoid, & in a few cases Honda has replaced the entire transmission.

As more of these Odysseys start exceeding the 60,000-mile powertrain warranty limit, buyer beware.

The right side rear lift area has had a metallic rattle since the car was six months old. It's been to Honda four times for this complaint without finding or eliminating the rattle. Honda replaced the lift arm assemble during the last visit. Now the door binds and will not close without assistance with my hand.

NHTSA recall 16V-933 and possibly dangerous windshield frame. I called american Honda motor co. Regarding nhrsa recall 16V-933 and windshield apparently coming apart from its frame. American Honda motor co. Refused to discuss these issues with me; referred me, instead to a local dealer. I called the local Honda East dealership, 702-369-3099, only to be told the all technicians were too busy with more important matters, but that I could leave my phone number and one will call me when one becomes free. That was yesterday morning, March 8, 2017. As of this morning, March 9, 2017, I10:33 am, I have received no phone call from Honda East. Honda case no. 5766404.

Contacted "dave" at Honda to inquire whether Honda is prepared to deal with the 2nd seat recall. This "chat" session with "dave" is a total fraud. Try it. Dave does not exist. The only notice I have received from Honda regarding this recall stated that Honda did not have the necessary parts. Honda website states that I must bring my vehicle in immediately because my life is at stake. Yet Honda cannot tell me that it can fix the problem. Also, I noticed today that the bottom windshield seal or support that holds the windshield in place has buckled in numerous places and is about to come off entirely. This would permit water to enter the engine compartment and create a driving hazard. It might also permit the windshield to come loose. I suspect that this is not just my vehicle, but is likely a problem with all of the Honda lineup. I don't know when this happened, so I cannot answer that question.

Bought vehicle in March 2014. We have had numerous problems with our power sliding doors. At times they won't open all the way, sometimes wont close all the way. Sometimes they won't respond at all whether you try to open or close them. Sometimes they do not unlock and it takes multiple times of trying before they finally will. I have pictures proving these malfunctions. The dealer says they can't find anything wrong. I also have problems with the back hatch malfunctioning. It hops/jerks and makes grinding noises. Sometimes it hops/jerks so much that it actually shakes the whole vehicle. Also sometimes the power button does not always work when trying to open it. Mechanic was able to duplicate problem, but the service director insists that it is normal. Initially they did not want to fix it, , but after being persistent with them about this issue, they replaced the rubber gasket around the door to see if that would fix the problem. To date it has not fixed the problem, it has actually gotten worse. I also had a problem with the driverside sliding door making a loud screeching sound when I unlocked it from inside the vehicle. The mechanic took the door apart and greased it and so far this has helped. I also have problems with the doors not responding to the key fob. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts to get it to respond properly. There also seems to be alot of wind noise and you can feel the drafts. The driver window also vibrates while going up/down. I don't know if my vehicle is a lemon or not, but it sure does have a lot of problems with the transmission, electrical, the doors. Etc. I have filed several complaints that describes them all. I originally had a 2010 Odyssey and it had less problems than this one.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving the passenger's side of the vehicle was very hot to the touch. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic testing who stated the heater line is not isolated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3600.

2014 Odyssey has been changed to include a progressive driver side mirror from the normal flat glass mirror. The glass in the mirror is designed in such a way that objects appear blurred and distorted causing difficulty focusing while looking thru mirror. Took car to dealer, they confirmed issue and stated many customers complain about same thing. Contacted american Honda at dealers recommendation. American Honda contacted dealer and confined. At this time american Honda is stating it is a "design feature" of the vehicle. Not sure how distortion and blurred vision with a safety device is a "feature". asked american Honda to document their position, they refused to send me any documentation stating the information collected is proprietary. Did search of progressive mirror and there are hundreds of complaints.

In March of this year, began new lease for 3rd Honda Odyssey after having two previous and loving them. On May 23rd, my van had no sound of left (driver's) side upon starting my vehicle. Problem resolved itself and has not recurred. Two days later, however, turn signals began malfunctioning with continuous blinking after being turned off. Van was looked at dealership to no avail, as problems did not reoccur for them. On vacation, I was stranded with a broken fuel door and driver's side passenger door that was temp fixed by dealership there. On way home from vacation, cruise control intermittently did not respond correctly when in use in both the set and resume functions. Upon returning home, dealership fixed fuel and passenger doors, had van for a week to address issues that are more electrical/computer-related in nature, but could not replicate, nor isolate problems. Van returned to me with bluetooth connectivity issues. Turn signals and cruise control continue to malfunction, and driver's side passenger sliding door occasionally will not open all the way.
