Honda Odyssey

""Needed new battery only 3 yrs after last replacement. Replaced front stabilizer bar links to eliminate squeaks that developed on turns and dips in road. Replaced spool valve as was leaking oil onto alternator, which would be ruined if leak continued. The spool valve had to be replaced at about 100000 miles for same reason.""

"The automatic sliding side door on the driver's side frequently malfunctions and won't open or won't close properly. We haven't taken it in to be repaired because we assume it will be expensive."

"Oil Pressure Sensor failed & tire pressure sensors failed"

"A leak above the alternator was cause by the timing chain replacement wasn't done properly."

"Oil leak above alternator and ac compressor which caused them to fail"

""Sometimes, such as turning at a corner and pressing the gas pedal, there is no response from the engine.""

""Last summer both the condenser and compressor went, along with leaks in the line. The lines are placed badly in the body where they get chaffed and developed leaks. This whole deal took several appts for repair and cost in total about 5K It was a real pain, my mechanic whom I trust explained some of the design issues that put strain on the whole system. Thinking about it, this would likely prevent me from purchasing another Odyssey.""

"Needed to be changed because of rust"

"See previous answer. The condenser and the compressor blew and lines had to be replaced."

""I've had to replace the brake pads at least three times and rotors at least once. Most I've ever had to do on a car. Got the car used in 2015 with about 18K, now in 2025 has 142K miles""

"Im on my third odyssey and all have had the same issue. Brake pulsating is due to low quality front brake rotors. I replaced the rotary on my previous vehicles but since retirement I have yet to do this on my current vehicle."

"this has been a recurring problem since the car was new. Services have included rotor resurfacing and replacement."

"See comments under wind noise."

""Low-speed rattles (i.e. at parking lot pavement cracks) from the front of the vehicle. I went to five (!) different places (two authorized dealers) to get it diagnosed and repaired. After strut replacement and several hundred dollars later, the cracks are still there, and nobody can find the cause.""

""When traveling around town, there is often a persistent rattle coming apparently from inside the rear liftgate.""

"Car stopped working on a trip. Had to be towed to closest auto shop to be repaired. Owner had to drive to pickup the part. It was repaired same day but took all day to repair."

"An oil leak above alternator leaked into it and caused it to fail"

"Spark plugs initially failed 2022 with over 100,000 miles on vehicle. Maintenance was performed as recommended by Honda through a trusted mechanic. The first set of replaced plugs lasted approximately 1000 miles, next couple of replacements lasted 500-1000miles, and the last couple of exchanges were good for less than 500miles. Honda was contacted after the second replacement and informed us a recall had not been issued. They did not recognize there was a problem, even though our research indicated we were definitely not alone in experiencing this issue. In July of 2025, after several thousand dollars in repairs we received a manufacturer recall notice. As of August, the van was repaired at our local Honda dealer. We are very pleased with the repair and all of our interactions with Honda since the recall was announced. Our experience with owning several Honda Odyssey's has been very positive, and we would definitely purchase another. This a great vehicle for families, roomy and comfortable and dependable as well. We investigated the safety reports as well prior to purchase. Consumer Report is our go to source for reliable information on each of our vehicle purchases. Thanks!"

"Transmission would slip when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear. The problem was pretty consistent. The issue was resolved in early 2024. The issue was resolved with 4-5 transmission fluid flushes."

"shuddering for months. Honda Dealer wanted to replace the transmission. Got a second opinion from Christian Brothers and they slowly changed the transmission fluid over the course of three drainings over three months. Shuddering was resolved."

"Solenoid went bad. We recently fixed it, 25 miles ago. If that doesn't work it means going deeper into transmission. Note we are using a transmission shop not Honda. We checked the problem out with Honda dealership. They don't replace Solenoid but would have to replace the box that holds the Solenoid cost of parts about $850 plus installation for total of $3800."

"cooling fan failed"

""Cooling system contaminated with engine oil, replaced engine with used engine""

"Left rear door failure resulted in an $1,800.00 repair. Definitely not satisfied with a door failure and very high-priced repair at 110k miles."

"One of the doors has an odd electrical problem- it wont lock, it impacts opening other doors and the tailgate. It wasn't worth chasing down but it's annoying that it won't reliably lock, and now its starting to not open/close."
