| I bought a brand new '12 odyssey exl-nav (5-speed automatic transmission) and from the day i picked it up, i noticed a shuddering when the transmission was at a shift point, especially from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th. i am submitting this complaint because i see a registered compliant for odyssey touring and touring elite models with 6-speed transmissions but not for the ex or exls with 5-speed transmission [nhtsa reference #10046880;tsb reference #sb-12-064]; however i have the same transmission issue. it has been in the shop at a honda dealer twice now to resolve issue and last time they mentioned there had been a service bulletin issued for this issue and they uploaded a new software control module. however, i still have the issue and am concerned that this is a design-flaw issue that honda may not be able to fix. please expand the nhtsa issue to include the 5-speed transmissions as well and advise if there is anything i can do. also, with the brand new vehicle, the rear brake rotors were warped and pulsed when breaking and had to be resurfaced within a month of delivery. that issue is now resolved. *tr | |||
