OUR BRAND NEW 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING ELITE JUDDERS BETWEEN 25-40 MPH BETWEEN SHIFTS. THE JUDDER CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM MILD AND VERY TRANSIENT TO ROUGH BUCKING THAT LASTS FOR OVER 2 SECONDS BEFORE IT SMOOTHS OUT. UNDER MILD OR HEAVY ACCELERATION, I HAVE NOT NOT NOTICED THE JUDDER. IT SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN UNDER MODERATE ACCELERATION. IT ALSO SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE VIOLENTLY WHILE GOING UPHILL. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST 90% OF THE TIME DURING THE SHIFT BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS UNDER MODERATE (TYPICAL) ACCELERATION. THIS JUDDER RESULTS IN A LOSS OF EXPECTED ACCELERATION AND DECREASED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND FEEL THAT HONDA MUST RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO PERMANENTLY REPAIR THE UNDERLYING ISSUE. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST THE 2012 MODEL YEAR. *TT

2012 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A SHUTTERING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS SEEMS MOST PREVALENT AROUND 40+ MILES PER HOUR, HOWEVER, IT CAN HAPPEN AT VARYING SPEEDS. I HAVE SET AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA DEALER (LEHIGH VALLEY HONDA FOR TUESDAY, JANUARY 31. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE CONSULTANT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS AT THIS TIME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS VAN IS APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS OLD AND EXPERIENCING THIS SHUTTERING PROBLEM. YOU CAN FEEL THE VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. ADDITIONALLY, YOU CAN HEAR IT AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN A QUIET ENVIRONMENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS OTHER CONSUMERS SEEM TO BE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE REGARDING MODEL YEARS 2011 & 2012. THANK YOU. *TR
