 Description of the problemTransmission juddering and hesitates between 30mph-50mph. This has become a very dangerous situation when entering the highway or making maneuvers that requires a quick increase in speed. The hesitation and juddering creates a very large vibration through the entire minivan. Our odyssey has had two software updates and it appears the torque converter will need to be replaced next. This issue has been happening since it had 5,000 miles. We complained about this issue at the 10k service, however, the dealer said that the issue was probably fuel related. However, one service manager at a local honda dealership told us it is most likely a transmission issue and there was no known fix for it at the time. Since then honda has identified two software updates that are required to correct the problem and if this does not fix the problem the torque converter will need to be replaced next. What we have also been told is that if the torque converter has been bad for a long period of time it will start putting out metal shavings that will get into the gears of the transmission, which will eventually damage the transmission. However, honda will not cover a new transmission unless it can be proven that the transmission is damaged, this is very difficult to do unless the transmission is truly showing signs of failure or enough oil shavings can be found in the transmission oil. It seems that the consensus is that odysseys with this problem will most likely have a shorten life span of their transmission. We have less than 40,000 miles on our odyssey. My opinion is honda is trying patch a problem that requires major surgery with band aids, hoping they can get beyond their required responsibility under the powertrain warranty. I guess until someone gets hurt or killed, this will not be taken seriously. This is a shame we have owned a honda or acura for the last twenty years and their reputation has been excellent.
