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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
From a stop or yield, upon acceleration van jerked. It did this several times all the way back to the dealership. Technicians could not get the van to duplicate this action, so they could do nothing.
I've noticed on cold nights/days (temps below 40 degrees). The engine temp is slightly lower than normal. The vehicle at a complete stop (at stop lights) then go that while I accelerate it stalls, the gas pedal would go down but would not accelerate then after a few seconds would jerk into speed. I've had 4 other Honda's and this is the first one that has done this.
1. I bought a 2014 Honda Odyssey around new year with keyless ignition. 2. with this car I can turn off the engine with the car still in drive or reverse. Then I can open the doors and walk away. As is the norm, nothing obliges me to apply the emergency brake. The car can begin to roll, endangering occupants, pedestrians and other cars. 3. this is a bad accident waiting to happen. I've already rolled twice after turning the ignition off and my boys opening the side doors. 4. every car I've ever driven for 40+ years, it was impossible to remove the key from the ignition without first shifting to park. 5. I've owned new Honda for 20+ years. From time to time I would get recall notices about cars rolling when they shouldn't. the situation never applied to me but I understand this is a serious safety issue - worthy of a general recall.
