2015 Honda Odyssey Complaints

Honda issued a warranty extension covering piston ring deterioration that causes engine misfires (DTCs P0301–P0304) due to oil fouling. I experienced this exact condition on 3/11/25 prior to issuance of the warranty extension, resulting in an engine misfire and loss of drivability. To restore basic operation of the vehicle, an independent repair facility replaced a fouled spark plug, documenting the misfire and oil fouling condition (including the P0301 code). I elected the minimum necessary repair to restore drivability, as the warranty extension had not yet been issued and the vehicle could not be operated safely without immediate service. Honda has acknowledged that this repair was temporary and consistent with the covered condition. Honda has denied reimbursement for this repair because the piston ring or short block replacement identified in the campaign was not completed. Honda has also stated that it will not perform the covered repair unless the misfire code is currently acti...

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Honda Odyssey. It was discovered that there was a discrepancy in mileage. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 96,000; however, upon registration, it was discovered that the actual mileage was 222,000.

On December 31 at approximately 300 p.m., our 2015 Honda Odyssey experienced a sudden and complete loss of motive power while traveling eastbound on the Sam Houston Parkway South just after crossing the Buffalo Bayou Toll Bridge at highway speed. While driving normally, the Check ABS warning light illuminated. Immediately afterward, multiple dashboard warning lights began flashing and the engine abruptly shut down with no warning. The vehicle lost all ability to accelerate and became disabled in active traffic lanes. Steering and braking were severely affected due to the sudden loss of power. Hazard lights were activated while the driver attempted to move the vehicle from the middle lane to the shoulder. We narrowly avoided a collision and were able to stop near the Pine Avenue on-ramp. Once stopped, the vehicle completely shut off and would not restart. All vehicle systems appeared inoperative except for the hazard lights, indicating a possible electrical system failure.

The car sporadically does not shift from 1st 2 second and then abruptly shuts cause a loud jerk of engine and car. It is startling and scary when it happens. I’m afraid the car will break down while in the road. Every time we take the car to dealership they “cannot replicate” issue therefore there is nothing to fix on an issue that is all over the internet with Honda vans and suvs.
