Warranty Extension for 2017 Honda Odzssezy 6AT Torque Convertor-DTC P0741 This is a known problem to Honda and first came to my parents attention when they received a letter in June 2025. The letter was for a Warranty Extension 2017 Honda Odyssey 6AT Torque Convertor-DTC P074. Car shudders when driving and my mom does not feel safe when driving. When we took the car into the dealer they did not see a DTC code so they said this would not be covered by the extended warranty. We opened a claim with Honda Customer Care and they said the warranty would not cover this as well. When the Honda…
Equipment · reported May 29, 2026
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Odyssey hauling a trailer equipped with a Rhino USA Trailer Hitch Coupler Lock Kit. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH over a bump, the trailer hitch latch lock had failed, causing the trailer to detach and strike the rear of the vehicle, producing sparks. The safety chain remained on the trailer. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that the coupler latch had opened and the lock was no longer securing the trailer. The trailer lock was found, but the pin was missing. The contact used a jack to lift the trailer and put the trailer back on the hitch…
Air Bags · reported Apr 27, 2026
I was driving on the highway at approximately 65 mph and the passenger side SRS (seatbelt and airbag) deployed. There was no collision, pothole or any other change in momentum to the vehicle immediately prior to deployment. No other airbags deployed.
Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Mar 18, 2026
Vehicle jerks and stalls while accelerating and has died and coasted at times. Was told it has a recall but was not issued one since I have owned it since early this year. Called a Honda dealership and was told that it did not qualify for the recall. Seems to do this after I’ve drove it for a while and it is warmed up.
Power Train · reported Nov 7, 2025
-Torque convertor/transmission. We do currently have it and it could be inspected. -A sudden transmission failure could pose a safety risk to us and others. -Yes, see story below. Technician drove and did report feeling the shuddering. -Yes, by honda and now a third party mechanic. -No lights. We received a recall/extension warranty for the torque converter/transmission. My van is currently having shuddering issues. When we took it to Milton Martin Honda in Gainesville, GA, they reported the issue is present, but not at a certain "threshold" for them to be required to fix it. They then…
