CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 and 2015 Honda Odyssey shows an early trend of transmission problems with clunking/jerking when shifting gears.

Most of these Odyssey transmissions are still under warranty, but so far Toyota generally hasn't been able to diagnose or fix the clunking problem — that's the reason for our low rating. Some owners have reported it was a stuck solenoid, & in a few cases Honda has replaced the entire transmission.

As more of these Odysseys start exceeding the 60,000-mile powertrain warranty limit, buyer beware.

I slow down immediately. after that my seatbelt belt not retracting (stop working) and Air Bag sign was displayed. I took the car to the dealer and also contact HONDA (Corporate) by Live chat. Honda Corporate mentioned the following warranty is part of the Seat Belt, SRS system, and Airbag. As per the Honda warranty, all repairs must be complete without any charges. But I got the attached invoice(Cost of repair) to Fix the issue with the SRS system, Seat Belt, and Air Bag issue. According to the Honda warranty App parts and Labour must include I opened a claim with Honda (Case #14025524) but so far I didn't hear from them. As per my understanding Safety issue related to my car must be fixed without any Charge. Also, Dealer must communicate with HONDA. So far I open a claim with insurance but not required because Honda must take care of or look at the Seat belt/Air Bag/SRS system.

7 year old in 2nd row passanger side seatbelt would not release and would only get tighter and tighter. Seatbelt got tighter and tighter around his belly causing pain and crushing his stomach. I had to cut the seatbelt to get him out. Tried pressing every button and opening and closing car door, locking and unlocking and restarting car, but nothing worked. The more we tried to pull on the seatbelt, the tighter it got. The seatbelt would not release or give any slack to get him out. I am taking car into the dealership for a dianostic this coming Friday.

# what happened my 7-year old child (around 50 pounds, 4'ish feet) was in the 3rd row seat and attempted to put the seatbelt. As she was doing this, she somehow managed to get knotted with the seatbelt around her stomach (see photo). Attempts to loosen the seatbelt did not work as the seatbelt seemed to have locked up (even after putting the car in park) # detail 1. we were coming back from newport, ri when we ran into this issue. 2. I pulled over and we immediately started working on un-ravelling the seatbelt (since it could potentially cut off circulation on the child) 3. even after stopping the car and putting the car in park, the seatbelt would not slack and loosen. The child had clearly got tied up in the seatbelt. I would expect that the seatbelt would slack (aka: Not lock up) and allow the knot to loosen and for the child to come free. However that did not happen. Despite numerous efforts to wiggle free and pull the seatbelt for slack, nothing would give. 4. we finally managed to find a scissor and cut off the seatbelt. As soon as the seatbelt was cut off, it made a cranking noise and coiled back into the restraining system. The incident that happened is very similar to the one described in this article (he is more articulate than me!) : https://www.conejovalleyguide.com/welcome/seat-belt-scare-on-fathers-day-2011-keep-A-sharp-object-in-Y.html (**very similar incident as this**)
