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 found liquid underneath my car on my parking lot after work. I realized it was badly leaking from the somewhere of the engine. My mechanic came and open the cooling system cap for the investigation. It found the coolant was mixed with oil (probably the transmission oil). the liquid is in creamy butter color. The engine light was on and temperature indicator was at nearly "H" level. Then I called Honda roadside assistant to tow the car to the dealer at once. I am waiting for the Honda confirmation of the warranty. I don't understand why it would be happen on a 2 years old car and how it could be passed the inspection in the factory. This is my 2nd owned Odyssey. The first one did not have this issue. I will update the status.
