general problems of the 2013 Honda Odyssey

My 2013 Honda Odyssey is experiencing a serious engine malfunction related to excessive oil consumption and spark plug fouling. On April 12, 2025, the check engine light came on and the vehicle began shaking. A diagnostic inspection at a Honda dealership revealed dtc p0301 (cylinder 1 misfire). Three spark plugs in bank 1 were heavily fouled with oil. The technician recommended piston ring replacement, noting that oil had leaked into the combustion chamber. This issue is consistent with well-known engine problems associated with Honda's vcm (variable cylinder management) system. Tsbs such as a13-081 and 11-033 have addressed similar issues in the past, but my vehicle is no longer covered under the extended warranty. I am a low-income International student currently living in the u. S. With my family. This defect creates financial hardship and safety concern. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this matter as a safety-related engine defect and urge the manufacturer to offer proper recall support. - mileage at most recent diagnosis: 116,520 miles - current mileage: 117,300 miles.

Body paint is sticky. . . Its not smooth like normal paint. The car ran just 72000 miles. Please help me.

I drove the car to the spot to park my car , with the normal way as always, lower the speed so I can get into my spot. All of sudden , I felt like something pushed really hard behind my car and it moved forward really fast , I couldn't expect anything like that happened at the moment and lost control , it hit the parking pole so hard and my front end broken.

We were on vacation last week as we were driving at approximately 70mph on I-64 eastbound in virginia we heard a loud popping sound an then loud airflow. We quickly realized our sunroof had exploded. Thankfully we had it closed and the shade was also closed and no one was hurt. Nothing hit our van and we were not involved in a accident the sunroof just suddenly exploded. When we were able to pull over we found the center of our sunroof was completely shattered. We have found other reports online of this happening.

Case # 11078950 could you cancel this case? I received a good answer.

Quite often, the vehicle does not respond to the accelerator when moving slowly, I. E. At an intersection, or when stopped. It happens most often when initiating a turn, from a stop or slow roll. The hesitation is unnerving! it can last a half-second, which is a long time when cars are approaching. It may be the accelerator, the engine, or the transmission. Seems the engine is not being told to increase power in real time. The dealer, of course, will not do anything unless it can be duplicated, which is hard to do in a short test drive with a technician. They want $106. 00 for every time I try. I am sure Honda is aware of the situation, but they put it on the dealer, so no action is taken. Thank you Honda for ruining our faith in your product!.

Transmission sensor issues.

When cleaning our evenflo symphony convertible car seats, I found the straps which restrain our children cut wearing on the seat plastic in the exact same spot on both seats. The first seat is model number 3451953, manufacture date: 5/13/2010. The other (newer) seat (model 3101964, made 2-14-2013). I contacted evenflo and they said to just throw the seats away , which we did. I attached a picture of the oldest seat.

I placed the van in park and left it running at the top of a driveway walked about 40-60ft and about 3 minutes later it comes rolling down the driveway and hits the corner of house and me. Bounces back 23 feet and stops. Gear shift is still in park and car is running. Air bag inflates and alarm goes off. Turned off engine and removed key.

As vehicle was traveling on interstate, occupants heard a sudden, loud noise from roof of car. No flying debris was noted, no other vehicles nearby, no trees, etc. In vicinity. As soon as was safe, we exited interstate and opened sunroof cover to find that the glass had completely shattered, and there was actually a large section in the very center that was gone. The vehicle had been parked in an enclosed parking garage all weekend (48 hours) in extreme heat. The local dealer will not work with me through my warranty, and I am having a hard time finding a local auto glass dealer who can even order the replacement glass, except through the dealer. I have contacted the corporate office for Honda but have yet to hear back from them. Everyone I have spoken to (glass repair folks) states that it almost has to be be due to abormal stress on the glass and should be covered by warranty on a 1-year old vehicle.

Rubbing noise on the right rear side whenever making a right turn.

The problem that I am reporting is that two of my keys recently spontaneously deprogrammed themselves. Fortunately neither key was running my ignition at the time of failure. I took my keys to my local service department and had them reprogrammed. To be clear: this was not the result of a battery failure, as the problem persisted even after battery replacements. I asked my dealership's service department for an explanation of this incident and received none whatsoever. I then contacted american Honda and still received no explanation. To be clear: one of the keys thus affected, a master key, had always been stored in a lingerie dresser drawer, and I mention "lingerie" to make it clear that no magnets or other potentially damaging items were stored with or near the key, and that it was in a clean, dry place. The key had never been used except when I tested it right after receiving it from the dealership. (I only figured out that it wasn't working when I misplaced the key that I usually used and needed a temporary replacement. ) the other key affected, my valet key, was always with me on my keychain. It strikes me as very improbable, in the grand scheme of things, that two such different keys should arbitrarily fail under such different circumstances. What are the odds? what concerns me is this: when the keys fail, they immobilize the engine. I requested that american Honda at least administer a questionnaire to dealerships to determine whether their service departments are seeing this happen to other Honda owners, but as far as I can tell this incident is being summarily dismissed. Given the tragedies that occurred when gm ignitions turned off unexpectedly during travel, relying on a key that can immobilize my ignition at will is unsettling, to say the least. I would deeply appreciate it if someone could look into this incident.

The third row, right hand side arm rest/cup holder area wall gets hot to a point that passenger on that side cannot sit and is hot enough to burn a person. This also affects the cooling/airconditioning of the car as well. This is a serious safety issue and can cause fire.
