I've noticed on cold nights/days (temps below 40 degrees). The engine temp is slightly lower than normal. The vehicle at a complete stop (at stop lights) then go that while I accelerate it stalls, the gas pedal would go down but would not accelerate then after a few seconds would jerk into speed. I've had 4 other honda's and this is the first one that has done this.
2014 Honda Odyssey transmission complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The check engine light and other lights came on. The vehicle would not go over 10 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that a valve switch had failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was not available. Updated 2/26/14
Driving approx 25mph through town when engine rpms increased a bit as it briefly slipped out of gear, then it caught itself and abruptly went into approx 5th gear (6 speed transmission). From there vehicle was only using 2 gears (~2nd and 5th) and every time it up shifted into 5th (from a stoplight, etc.) it was very abrupt, and made a loud clunk noise - it was so hard it felt like the powertrain was going to be ripped off the engine mounts and out of the engine compartment (seriously). Immediately limped vehicle to closest dealer. Dealer replicated event and determined transmission fluid was overfilled (approx half a quart). This was an issue from the factory and manufacturing process. The selling dealer did not cover/discover this overfill as part of the vehicle sell checklist process (if I were them, not sure I would have noticed a half-quart either). Apparently a half quart makes a big difference in the internal pressure of the transmission which caused this issue. If this would have happened on the highway or otherwise it could have been worse or caused an accident. It was bad enough limping through town. Dealer removed excess fluid and appears to be operating fine (although I now question the longevity of the transmission after this incident). This was obviously an issue during assembly and I am sure I am not the only one that may have been affected. I only assuming that a robot was inadvertently overfilling the fluid on a bunch of transmissions along the way. Can provide VIN as necessary.
