Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the transmission would emit a shuttering sound while driving approximately 20 MPH. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle was performing to specifications. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 500.
The same problem that occurred in dec 2012 when honda issued a transmission software update, but only worse. I was driving at approx 18MPH and the transmission locked then slipped continuously. It was worse when I was on a hill causing the van to jerk backwards. It continued to occur and when on a flat road I almost lost control of the vehicle because it jerk so hard when accelerating to 20MPH.
