2023 Honda Odyssey Engine Problems

While driving at 30 mph, your Odyssey suddenly lost power and made a loud metallic grinding noise from the engine before stalling completely. Multiple warning lights came on, including the check engine light, and the engine wouldn't restart. Two different dealerships both confirmed that your engine has failed and requires complete replacement at 71,000 miles.

Your 2023 Honda Odyssey's engine is making a knocking noise that persists even after an oil change with the correct amount of oil and replacement of the timing belt tensioner and high-pressure fuel pump. The knocking is especially noticeable when driving at low speeds. This may indicate an internal engine issue that requires further diagnostic inspection to identify the source.

An engine rod blew a hole in the engine block while traveling on the highway. This resulted in loss of engine power while others traveling at highway speeds around me. Additionally the vehicle was smoking heavily and smelled of burning . The vehicle only had 64000 miles with an adequate maintenance record.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine seized. The contact stated that the failure occurred while she was on the entrance ramp entering the freeway. The contact stated that she repeatedly continued to depress the accelerator pedal, and after several attempts, the engine independently started. The vehicle was driven to the contact's intended destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,500.

While driving 35-40 mph, the car started acting strange, shaking and multiple alerts began appearing. No cars were around me and I was able to get the car over to the shoulder quickly. (Mileage 35,483. Owned car 20 months) Messages appearing: Electric Parking Brake Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Emissions System Problem, Electric Parking Brake Problem, Electric Power Steering Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist Problem, CMBS Problem. I turned car off and on, multiple times, hoping it was a fluke, but car was shaking and messages kept appearing. I called Honda Roadside & car towed to dealership. Was told internal failure of oil pump was the problem. Techline reported Multiple vehicles with same codes and same motor have had the same problem. Replacement of spool valve, valve cover gasket & valve was the fix. This may be a future recall. Car drives fine now after being repaired!

Our AIS has not worked in most of the 3 weeks since we purchased it. We went on (joined) various Odyssey forums and apparently this is a known defect that Honda Corporation is denying (and can't fix). Som think it is a wrong battery in the vehicle issue or defective vehicle charger issue. Others have found a temporary workaround by opening the hood to reset it. Honda is ripping off customers for an AIS system that is defective. A class action is in order.
