Oil leaks

"Spool valve was leaking and it could damage the alternator if not fixed in time."

Anonymous, CA (2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite 3.5-L V6)

"Van started leaking oil. Identified it was coming from vvt solenoid. Replaced gasket, leak continued eventually replaced whole solenoid and gasket. Fixed oil leak but oild had leaked into alternator and caused it to kick off voltage error readings on dash. Eventually alternator just failed. Alternator gave no error codes indicating it was having issues during this time period and replaced battery 3 times prior thinking that caused it. If vvt solenoid is leaking best to replace alternator too."

What Owners Say

Doors or sliding doors

"The left rear sliding door does not work at times. It does not open when the handle or remote are uses. It will open and close with some prompting. Other times it works as it should."

Anonymous, IN (2011 Honda Odyssey EX 3.5-L V6)

"The front doors will not stay open. The interior front armrests on driver and passenger side have deteriorated to the point that I have to repair with duct tape. Both sliding doors in the back sometimes will jerk and not want to close ... especially on a slight incline up or down a hill ... they have to be forcibly pushed shut. I think these problems sometimes cause a warning signal to go off in the van that sometimes can be quieted by locking the doors. Was told nothing could be done."

"The "ECO" function frequently caused the vehicle to do what I describe as a buckin' bronco. I had to purchase a over the counter (not Honda) device to disable this function, which has worked well."

Anonymous, PA (2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite 3.5-L V6)

"Since new, it has a very annoying habit of running very rough with a slight bit of gas on, particularly when going up an incline at exactly 50-52 KPH. Checked many times at the dealers but they have never been able to pinpoint it. It is just plain annoying."
