Post subject: New 2007 Odyssey Touring - Hesitation/Bucking - VCM
I just purchased a new 2007 Honda Odyssey Touring. I noticed that when the Variable Cylinder Management system engages (from 6 to 3 cylinders), the van hesitates/bucks (very noticeable). The Owner's manual and feature video states that the the driver will not notice when VCM engages. During test drives of new 2007 Tourings, I was not able to detect any hesitation/bucking when VCM engaged (from 6 to 3 cylinders). I can't imagine that the hesitation/bucking is "normal" for a vehicle in this price range.

Would like to hear from other 2007 Honda Odyssey "w/VCM"owners regarding this issue.

I have a 2006. The cyclinder change is undetectable and the only way you
know it is happening is the eco light turns on and tells you. Your car
needs to be fixed but you might want to drive it for a week to see if the
computer figures it out.

Precisely. As long as you have the time to kill, take it in ASAP. My
'06 Touring doesn't even make the little "click" noise I've heard some
others complain about. The manual is exactly right. You should hear/
feel/detect NOTHING.

It is very common for the various PCMs to need reflashing when this sort of
thing happens. Might be all you need is that.

I second (third) the others. Take it in to the dealer, describe your
symptoms. For all you know, there's already a TSB on this issue.
