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.
Was driving to Florida for a vacation with family from Houston in a new car (about a 1000 miles). AC stopped working in Louisiana. Had to leave the car at the closest dealer since they did not have the spare part, rent a minivan to continue my vacation at a cost of $2,000. Got the car back when driving back from Florida to Houston.
No warranty was allowed. They said that a small stone hit the radiator and that it was the same as a tire flat. It was not covered. The dent on the radiator was invisible to the naked eye.
