Honda Odyssey

"Paint peeling off the front top of vehicle in front of the sunroof and also along the bottom right side of the rear window. The paint started cracking then peeling off and getting larger."

"It started with rust along the bottom of the tailgate and side doors. Then a large flake of paint peeled off the front hood."

"There have been rust spots around the bottom of sides of the van. I had the van painted professionally in 2020/2021 but the rust has come back."

"Timely access to parts was a big issue. I needed a new power steering line and it took 8 business days to arrive. I don't fault that the line failed after 10 years of service, but my vehicle was not drivable for 2 weeks."

"Front strut worn out due to age and mileage"

"Rocks continue to hit rear struts and they blow out."

"ALTERNATOR FAILED TO CHARGE BATTERY. REPLACEMENT REQUIRED AT 150,000 MILES"

"ALTERNATOR FAILED AND REPLACEMENT REQUIRED AT 150,000 MILES"

"Van has had 3 alternators in its life. First one failed @100k, then it failed again 11mo later."

"Slipping, rough shifts, sluggish performance."

"the car made transmission noise going up hills since new.i now understand that the transmission fluid must be changed every 12 months to avoid transmission damaged"

"irregular shifting up and down. Failure to shift up resulting in a 900 mile trip at 4000 rpm and awful mileage"

"Clunking heard from frontbduringbdriving. Suspected it was CV joint. Found to be engine mounts and drive shaft. Still drove well without vibration."

"The engine mount became loose and caused vibration that caused the CV joint to fail. Our independent shop replaced the mounts."

"Large oil leak all over engine block. Discovered soon after buying the car used."

"We had two incidents of warped brake rotors in the past year. The first time, the dealer only resurfaced the rotors (found this out later) Of course, the rotors should have been replaced. We had the same problem several years ago. I have read that this was a common Honda problem in the past--apparently still is."

"every 1 to 2 years have to replace rotors because of vibration. does not matter what brand of rotor you buy. I just assume the rotors are undersized for size(weight) of vehicle."

"It's a recurring problem arising from poor design given vehicle. 20000-25000 miles."

"Electrical short in the headlights. Had to replace them twice in the past year."

"Driving 65 mph on freeway. Suddenly many random warnings on dashboard; engine coughed and shutdown. Luckily, we managed to coast onto exit ramp. Engine would not restart. When tow truck arrived, we described the symptoms and he instantly said "It's the alternator". He verified this with a tester. We had car towed to dealer (about 70 miles). Dealer replaced alternator and car has been fine since then. Based on the instant diagnosis by the tow truck driver, this must be a fairly common problem. In past years I have had alternator failures on two different cars. In each case the dash light lit up and I could continue to drive many miles on battery capacity to a place where I could get repairs. I am appalled that this 2014 Honda could not do that; it was pure luck that we were going downhill and could coast to a freeway exit. Main computer should have built-in fail-safe. (BTW, Excepting the alternator failure and two cases of warped brake rotors, this is the only problem the car has ever had. All other work has been scheduled maintenance and routine replacement of tires, etc. Thanks for listening!"

"Spontaneously the engine check light came on and then car hard to start. Got an error code and dealer said not to drive carso had it towed with our AAA. Had to have 3 cylinders and pistons cleaned/ rebuilt. Design flaw with emission control system that shuts down cylinders not needed for power. Honda recognizes problem and reduced the cost of repaihrs even though we were over the warranty mileage."

"Was related to overall emission system problem."

"Apparently known issue is problems with back 3 cyl, plugs getting fouled, timing off, and burning oil. Very expensive and at only 85000 miles (or less)"

"had to put in new rings and pistons on one side of the V6 engind"

"Baxk AC motor stopped working about 8 months ago. Front back has to work more to compensate I guess. Recently on long trip the front back suddenly stopped cooling...seemed due to ice build up. After being parked worked OK. Need blower and evaporator. Seems AC problems is recurrent item not being addressed by Honda"

"Intermittent no cold air. Honda says needs recharge and had them do so. My own presumption is there must have been a leak. Car was ten years old in 2024. I dont know if this is normal."

"slow to downshift, some roughness to shifting. Happened over a long period of time.There is a service bulletin 17-044 MC to help with this issue. ATF has deteriorated, it needs to be changed even though the ATF Service Due message has not appeared. Have to drain and refill transmission fluid multiple times. Fixed almost all shifting issues. Can live with it, the vehicle is tens years old"

"Car had $5000 of repairs under warranty @75k miles. Its still not fixed. Transmission has been faulty pretty much for the life of the vehicle."

"We got steering wheel vibration between 60 and 75 mph. The CV joint was failing. Our independent shop replaced it, and the car drives great now."

"My local shop has not been able to determine where the noises are coming from on the front end of my minivan. I have all the suspected parts replaced twice and there were noise coming from."
