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.
When braking at highway speeds after 30 min of driving, the steering wheel begins to shake and the brakes seem to not be very effective . Also experienced rhythmic lurching when braking at low speeds. Something in the braking system is faulty, or maybe the bad design does not allow heat to dissipate to avoid rotors warping.
When initially I called the dealer, I was offered a resurfacing but reading other people complains it was not recommended since the issue reappears they said faster than initially , mine started at around 15K and now at 24k the issue seems that is worsening
When driving daily at 30 to 40 MPH the braking seems to be close to normal, because the brakes are still cold
The Virginia safety inspection did not reveal any issues to be fixed, because they have checked the car while in the shop, not on the highway ....

I noticed the steering wheel began shaking when I brake after driving one or two hours at highway.
One of my friend also owning 2015 Odyssey said same thing. He called the dealer shop and got brake disc resurfaced.
I didn't try to have my vehicle repaired the same way since I heard that the same issue eventually will recur.
