2013 Honda Odyssey — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 276 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Engine76 (27.5%)Official recall records for this system: 12, covering model years 1999–2019.
• Brakes56 (20.3%)Official recall records for this system: 14, covering model years 2005–2019.
• Body & structure20 (7.2%)Official recall records for this system: 6, covering model years 1999–2020.
• Electrical system15 (5.4%)Official recall records for this system: 14, covering model years 1997–2020.
• Air bags (restraint system)14 (5.1%)Official recall records for this system: 62, covering model years 1998–2026.
• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)14 (5.1%)Official recall records for this system: 9, covering model years 2002–2019.

Other / uncategorized: 13 classifications (4.7%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (25,100 records, model years 1995–2026) are most frequently classified under: powertrain (transmission & drivetrain), electrical system and engine.
• Safety recalls (290 records, model years 1995–2026) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), electrical system and fuel system.
• Transport Canada recalls (238 records, model years 1997–2026) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), fuel system and seat belts.
• Manufacturer communications (5,826 records, model years 1995–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and body & structure.
• Investigations (76 records, model years 1999–2025) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), body & structure and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 149reports included a mileage
• 52,443average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

• P0404 in 2 records
• P0455 in 1 record
• P0456 in 1 record
