What owners report
“2014 honda odyssey touring elite began violent jerking when accelerating on 84 degree day after an hour of stop and go city driving. Occurred nearly 20 times when accelerating from stop light to moderate speeds of 25/35mph. Felt as if hit from behind each transitioning/accelerating 1st to 2nd gear. Very scary.”
An owner's complaint to NHTSA about the power train, Aug 2014
“The contact owns a 2014 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal, with the check engine warning light and two other unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact initially had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where an oil leak was discovered behind the spark plugs.”
