2014-2017 Honda Odyssey Transmission Problems

2014-2017 Honda Odysseys have been having issues with their transmissions, specifically the torque converter. The complaints all appear to be similar and typically revolve around the vehicle jerking or emitting a loud clunking noise, shuddering / slipping, running roughly and hesitations. Honda has acknowledged the issue in several TSB’s, which I’ve included below:

  1. TSB A17-043 - A judder from the torque converter lock-up clutch may be felt while driving between 20 and 60 mph. The problem is typically diagnosed as a bad torque converter. American Honda investigated the judder and found that the torque converter was not causing the judder and the transmission is not damaged by this judder.

  2. TSB A17-044 - A judder from the torque converter lock-up clutch may be felt while driving between 20 and 60 mph. The problem is typically diagnosed as a bad torque converter. American Honda investigated the judder and found that the torque converter was not causing the judder and the transmission is not damaged by this judder.

  3. TSB 15-014 Hard Downshift or Clunk When Slowing Down to a Rolling Stop

And this is all even independent of the infotainment system issues previously discussed.
