On 9/23/14 30000 mile check up performed at dealership where I bought the car. On 10/14/14 in heavy rush hour traffic I accelerated to pass a car on interstate 4; vehicle hiccuped and lost power; able to go to shoulder of the road across 3 lanes of traffic; turned vehicle off then on again; vehicle started without hesitation. Drove car to dealership where I bought it; they checked it out; said they could not find anything wrong; however, they ran a computer update for the alternating system stating that they "think" problem is solved. Contacted honda regional; they authorized an inspection at a different honda dealership on 11/12/14. I was again told that they could find no reason that the vehicle lost power; at that point, honda regional told me there is nothing more they can do. I am not satisfied with this answer. Do I have any recourse?

On 4 different occasions, from being stopped and making a turn or proceeding through a stop sign, the car hesitated long enough to realize that "I should be moving by now and what is going on", then the car would jerk forward. (different degrees of jerking). Felt like the transmission was slipping. Bought the car in 9-13. It happened 3 times before the first oil change 1-14. Thought it was me because I was replacing a 13 year old odyssey that had a bad transmission. Informed dealership at first oil change and inspection... Was told that it was normal when driving with the econ system. Which tells me they are completely aware of the problem. And that there would be nothing for them to find unless the engine light had come on. 4th time was in 5-14. Econ button was off and I was turning left into my driveway. Called the dealership and honda corp. Was told they "understood my frustration" and would do what could to find out the problem. Dealership drove the car and couldn't duplicate the problem and said the car is running"as was designed". That's right...until it doesn't. There are countless complaints on the internet over many years. Was told by honda they don't check the internet. Even if that were true, what about their dealerships service centers? It is not safe! My oldest is a new driver. I thought I was buying a safe car.

Intermittent problem happened 4 times over 2 weeks while driving new vehicle (just purchased new) about 30 miles. Eco button is on. From full stop, when I step on gas pedal get a 1-2 sec hesitation; no engine rev up, no acceleration. Foot is not on the brake at time of gas pedal hesitation. It's a safety problem in traffic or especially when turning left in traffic. Local honda dealer tells me this is a known problem to honda and honda is working on solution and recall repair.
