Warning problems of the 2016 Honda Odyssey

While driving the vehicle the engine began to bog down and the check engine light came on.

Car shutters or jolt when start or accelerate between 20-35 mph .

In March 1, 2022, my check engine light started to blink and the vehicle was running rough with a definite loss of power. I took it to a local mechanic. The code was a misfire on cylinder 2. He replaced the spark plugs and coil. On may 4, 2022, the same symptoms occurred and I left it with the same local mechanic. He said no codes were stored and the vehicle was running as it should. On may 5, 2022 the same symptoms occurred again and the fcw and ldw lights were also illuminated. The vehicle showed "failed fcw system". They changed the cylinder 2 spark plug because there was oil in it. On may 31, 2022 the check engine light was blinking again with rough idle and loss of power. After doing some researching I can see that Honda had a previous class action lawsuit settlement for earlier year Honda Odysseys for a "piston-ring issue". Today I called the local dealer where I purchased my vehicle from - brilliance Honda and the service advisor indicated that this is a common problem with the Honda Odysseys but the 2016 are not covered any extended warranty or safety recall. This is a safety issue. To lose power in the engine when driving. This is a known issue and previous model years had similar issues and there was a class action lawsuit - yet nothing is being done about the problem that was never corrected by Honda putting people at risk for a faulty mechanical design. You can smell gas inside the vehicle when this occurs because the engine is not working properly to burn the gas.

Vcm causes excessive wear on piston rings leading to excessive oil burning, spark plug fouling, and misfiring cylinders. Condition displays flashing engine light and emission, fcw, and ldw warnings codes, disabling the fcw and ldw. Walker Honda (71303) technician, cody procell, stated he has dealt with this problem numerous times and was able to quote a near exact price of $4069. Repair total after $100 military discount was $3993. Previous generation Odyssey has been recalled for same issue.

We have been getting multiple warning lights (fcw, ldw, check engine) which occur with sluggish engine performance. The engine will misfire and not accelerate as it typically does or shudders/jitters trying to accelerate. Diagnostic tool shows p0303 for misfire in cylinder 3. I changed out the spark plug which was very fouled (saved it) and this fixed it for a few weeks and then it returned. Changed out all spark plugs but issues and code are back again after a few weeks.
