NHTSA complaint #11055197, filed 2017-12, 153,686 miles“The d / drive LED started blinking several times at around 104.660 miles. So far no other fault LED was flashing. However I discovered since a while that the transmission shifts very hard when driving slower and the transmission shifts from 3rd gear to 2nd gear. The Honda technician however told me that this rough shifting is not an issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10785796, filed 2015-10, 290 miles“I bought my 2007 Odyssey in 2014. It had 55000 miles on it and appeared to be in very good condition. It ran very well except that the emissions light would come on and usually stay on. It did pass during one short period. Noticed as it went over 60,000 it had more and more transmission problems. Would not back up; wouldn't go into eco mode; shuddered during driving, until it was undriveable. There were no conditions under which the transmission worked well.”
NHTSA complaint #11139018, filed 2018-10, 60,000 miles“The sliding door on my Odyssey fell off. It literally fell off right onto my body while I was pumping gas. Not only did this cause physical harm to my person, but it resulted in substantial body damage to the vehicle panel.”
NHTSA complaint #11057935, filed 2018-01, 98,560 miles“We had owned a 2007 Odyssey for one week when we noticed judder upon normal acceleration. Also we felt unusually hard transmission shifts when slowing. Vehicle has 59,000 miles. Very poor gas mileage. Took it to a Honda dealership which confirmed the above symptoms and replaced the torque converter. After torque converter replacement, problem persists.”
