2010 Honda Odyssey Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“2010 Odyssey w/ about 159k miles. Engine started misfiring. There was a recall on this, but Honda is saying it expired, and I am not eligible for cost coverage, and the repairs only have a 50% chance of fixing the issue. I bought the car used in 2016, and they say the recall expired after make year. I was driving my car to work and it lost the ability to accelerate and white smoke was coming out exhaust. And the belt snapped and it has been parked since early february.”

“When approaching a 4 way intersection. I was decelerating when the engine/transmission/brakes seemed to lock causing the vehicle to come to a very abrupt stop. Since this time the vehicle has exhibited an issue (3 times) under acceleration where the engine will rev and slam into the next gear. We also are having an issue with vibration when driving the vehicle. It is most significant between 50-60 MPH.”

“Occasionally as I come to a stop (apply the breaks, the engine would surge up to 5,000 RPM), the vehicle would lurch forward until the I applied additional pressure to the breaks. The engine would shift down to the idle configuration. . I have had this problem since I bought the car in 2011 for maintenance they were unable to replicate the problem. They said that without the replication they cannot fix it. This problem caused 2 minor accidents and I am afraid that something more serious may occur.”

“Van has a significant shake (or judder , shudder, vibration, or shimmy) when accelerating between 50 and 75 MPH. Entire vehicle shakes, similar to one or more tires being out of balance but much worse. Judder goes away completely and instantly when I take my foot off the accelerator. During this period I had three all-wheel alignments and several tire balancings, but nothing work. It was only recently when I noticed it only occurred while accelerating and so it wasn't a tire or alignment problem.”

“My 2010 Honda Odyssey with 85,000 miles vibrated excessively between 40 and 60 MPH especially when driving uphill. The Honda dealership contacted american Honda to get the torque converter replaced. I learned of the class action lawsuit for this exact issue which covered up to model year 2009 but not 2010 even though it uses the same part. Honda america would only offer me a 40% discount on the service. I called american Honda myself but they would not cover the entire cost of the repair. This is a premature failure of the the torque converter and should be covered under warranty.”
