2017 Honda Odyssey Engine Problems

“My very new 2017 Honda Odyssey (ody ex-l 6at) was 1307 miles driven. When I was driving on the highway the car suddenly showed low oil pressure light and the engine temperature gauge needle was at the h mark and then smoky fumes with smell of burnt rubber came from the engine hood. I immediately stopped the car and towed it back to the dealership. Honda dealership said it was a manufacturing defect related to coolant leak at thermostat housing resulting in blown head casket that caused extensive damage to engine.the Honda dealership repaired the car under factory warranty. …”

“Brand new car 2017 Honda Odyssey with less than 300 miles driving on a winding road uphill and the check engine light starts flashing. Manual advises to pull over to turn off and let the car cool down. Did that and then the vehicle stability assist light also goes on. Car starts to shake when you accelerate. Honda dealership said it was a misfire and covered under factory warranty. How can a new car already have engine problems??”

“Engine coils repaired several times, most recently van lost power while going uphill with my entire family in the vehicle. My husband applied brakes and emergency brake and we all exited the van. We were on vacation and took to local dealership where could were replaced again! 3 weeks later. Most recently we are having issues with keyless entry module and van loses power and won’t start. Absolutely ridiculous. Van is only 5 years old. Will never buy another Honda”

“While driving, the battery indicator light illuminated. Suddenly, the power turned off. The vehicle could be steered and brakes used, only. Then, as quickly as the power turned off, it restored and momentarily powered the accelerator. Then the power stopped again. The lights within the cabin and on the dash flickered and chimed like they were possessed. Then nothing. When the power would flicker on, the engine/transmission would catch and jerk the vehicle. Fortunately, I coasted to my residence without an auto accident. …”

“Flashing check engine light came on. Took this to the dealership and they found that one of the cylinders misfired and a sparkplug has fouled oil. Piston rings needed to be replaced. This happened because of oil buildup when 3 of the cylinders stop firing when the engine is in fuel efficient mode. As I understand it, the vehicle design is to turn off half the cylinders when I drive efficiently and that causes buildup over time. This is a ticking timebomb that will eventually cause this damage and render the vehicle undrivable.”
