NHTSA complaint #10542483, filed 2013-09, 49,000 miles“My battery light came on and a flashing check charging system warning. I took it to a mechanic and was told the alternator and battery were in excellent condition and there is something wrong with the sensor. We replaced the battery just to be sure and the error is still there. After extensive research we have come to know this is a common fault in the Odyssey's and has yet to be acknowledged by Honda.”
