2017 Honda Odyssey owner complaints

-Torque convertor/transmission. We do currently have it and it could be inspected. -A sudden transmission failure could pose a safety risk to us and others. -Yes, see story below. Technician drove and did report feeling the shuddering. -Yes, by honda and now a third party mechanic. -No lights. We received a recall/extension warranty for the torque converter/transmission. My van is currently having shuddering issues. When we took it to Milton Martin Honda in Gainesville, GA, they reported the issue is present, but not at a certain "threshold" for them to be required to fix it. They then proceeded to charge me $175 for diagnostics because the issue did not reach said "threshold." They then proceeded to tell me that a torque convertor will cost me $5200 and that the reason it is so expensi

Shifting is rough at about 20 miles per hour when you accelerate

Driving one day without warning the van was shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear when there was a hard slam, then the check engine light came on as well as the forward collision sensor failure. The van went into limp mode on the highway which was very dangerous. After having the Honda dealership investigate two times they said the only thing they could do is completely replace the transmission.

Engine failure, requiring all new ignition coils and spark plugs (62,000 miles). Car ran well for 3 weeks, and resumed having acceleration issues, engine/transmission judder and check engine light returned. Brought back to mechanic and replaced a failed ignition coil. Was directed by the mechanic to bring to a dealer if the issue continues as it's likely due to a cylinder issue which is causing ignition coils to fail. Brought to dealer with engine and transmission issues. Diagnosed as bad transmission fluid requiring flush and fill 3 times: $850. Told that there are no engine issues as a result of diagnostic. Drove car home (4 miles), and engine issue became worse with flashing check engine light returning light, jerky drive and no acceleration. Brought back to mechanic and diagnos

I own a 2017 Honda Odyssey that is currently covered under an extended warranty related to the torque converter, specifically addressing Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0741. I experienced symptoms twice—once in January 2025 and again in May 2025—using an OBD-II scanner. I documented these occurrences with independent scan results in May and confirmed communication via text message at the time of the first incident. Following the second occurrence, I had the transmission fluid changed, which cleared the error code. I later received an official notification letter in June 2025 regarding the extended warranty coverage for the torque converter issue. At that point, both incidents had already occurred. I scheduled an appointment with my local Honda dealership (Serra Champaign) to have the iss

On two separate occasions, while unattended and sitting in my garage, the vehicle seemed to be attempting to start by itself. Instrument panel warning lights were all flashing on and off with ignition clicking. The key fob was nowhere near the vehicle. I started the vehicle but then WAS UNABE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF by pressing the ignition button. ALSO FEARED THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. Had to pull the fuel pump fuse to do so. A local Honda dealership diagnosed (by reviewing Honda's service library) as a faulty ignition control unit and replaced at a cost of $1,100.00.

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. I reported this issue to Williamsburg Honda who will address the issue tomorrow when the vehicle is towed there. I was at risk along with my two school-aged children for a deadly auto accident since the power to the vehicle was lost. I have to use another vehicle and

Car in park and engine accelerated to 5000 RPM

Twice within 3 months our 2017 Honda Odyssey (65,000) miles has had a misfire in the engine and had a flashing engine light. Had to change spark plugs and coils twice and they had to adjust the pistons. Mechanic says he sees this a lot with this year and make. He also said it’s something you would say after 100000 miles maybe. Not with such a new car.

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. My question is how can Honda sell such defective family cars to their customers and now how can I trust their workmanship in fixing this car ??

At 60 mph the vehicle began shaking , I pulled over , put it in park while still running, and got out to inspect. I noticed some smoke from under the hood and by the time I got inside to release the hood latch , the smoke stopped. With multiple lights on the dash I shut it off . It would not restart . It was towed to my home. We pulled off the belt and attempted to turn the engine crank with a breaker bar, and it is seized. We also hooked up a scanner in which it showed many faults.The battery tested good , and the starter was trying to engage .

Driver entered car in grocery store parking lot. Car was started and put into drive. Car then spontaneously accellerated rapidly into the concrete base of a light pole. Cause unknown.

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??

At 25,000 miles on my Honda when I applied the brakes the front end started shaking severely, toke the car to the Honda dealer for service, they told me that the brake pads got hot the fixed the pads cost $200 another 25,000 miles sure enough the same problem this time I complained to the service mg he gave me a discount and said this size pads where on all the Honda cars, Honda did not make any effort to place larger size front brake pads on their odyssey, now at 77,000 mile its vibrating again. Major problem if you have to stop fast the vibration is so severe you could lose control of the car . Went to the internet found a number of complaints from other odyssey customer. I have service records for my odyssey if needed
