Honda Odyssey owners have reported a total of 15,439 problems for their cars built in the 31 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Honda Odyssey. The 2018 Honda Odyssey cars have the most problems reported (1,403 problems).
The following chart shows the 38 most common problems for Honda Odyssey cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's power train (2,943 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling (1,740 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Honda Odyssey of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Odyssey model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Honda Odyssey model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
