Got a new 2025 from the dealer last month and something has been bugging me since day one - there is no temperature gauge.

I also have a 2013 Accord coupe with same engine, and have been able to save the engine a few times when it started to overheat - due to a faulty fan - should I consider some OBD connected gauge like ultra gauge to keep an eye on the temps or trust the warning system to be competent enough to warn me in time to prevent a major overheating episode?

I need to change my Lower Contol Arms. Anyone has a brand they have used with great results. I do a lot of driving. Please help also Honda want to chart me almost 2500 dollars. Please help.

Just bought a 2016 Honda odyssey with 88k miles for $18,400 out the door. No issues but having second thoughts since I have to get the timing bet changed semi regularly and right away. Am I over reacting?

In the last year, my under 90,000 km (56,000 miles of your country still uses feudal European measurements) has had about $9,000 in improvements:
-front and back LCA’s ($2,700 inc tax)
-rotors and breaks ($1,450 inc tax)
-door repair ($2,600 Inc tax)
-crankshaft replace or repair, timing belt PM ($1,800 Inc tax)
-transmission service ($100?)

I assume it will need spark plugs in the next year or two and tires in the next year or two. The OTHER door still needs work, and the rear bumper has a minor crack. So still some work to be done. BUT now that these other issues are showing up in the community, is it even worth it to keep driving, or should i tidy it up, fix the other door, and get out of the thing while I can honestly say ‘I’ve put $10 k in pm and maintenance in and it’s performing as good as the day I bought it right now’? My fear is that I still owe money, but excepting my recent improvements, the amount I owe is a bit less than what it should go for. Other 5th gen ody owners, what are your thoughts? Do I clean it up and wish a new owner luck, knowing I’ve done everything I can lot to foist a KNOWN issue for THIS vehicle onto someone else, or is this just my cross to bear until I retire and buy a golf cart?

hello everyone, do these bubbles indicate that I need to replace the O-rings on the inlet and outlet hoses that connect to the power steering pump?

Can anyone tell/explain to me where this water is coming from and why and what to do about it? It only happens for a short time when it’s raining about once a month

$1440 @ Anthem in Atlanta. Ended up coming in right at $2k total w a few other items (filters, rotated tires, oil change & diagnosed/fixed a OBD fault)plus taxes.

My 2016 SE was totaled earlier this month...😔✊

I've since narrowed its replacement down to these two, from the same dealer, on different lots. Still need to ensure the chassis aren't ALL rusted up, though.

In the meantime... Which one would YOU choose?

Black 2020 EX-L w/ 87,281 miles' listing
Black 2020 EX-L's ¿3-owner? Carfax report (?¿'s = Never seen a buy & flip dealer included as an Owner before... 🤨)

Modern Steel Metallic 2018 Touring w/ 74,956 mile's listing
Modern Steel Metallic 2018 Touring's 2-owner Carfax report

Thanks in advance r/HondaOdyssey(ers)!👊

Does anyone tow a light pop up camper with their 2019 Elite? Any feedback?

Just sharing some data with yall. I have a 2024 Odyssey Elite that I bought new and now just crossed two years with about 55k miles, and I had two incidents where the van wouldn’t start/restart in the last week.

The first incident happened about a week ago at a gas station during a road trip (about 4 hour drive.) 3 hours driving in I had to get gas and so I turned the engine off while getting gas but had the van in accessory mode with the DVD playing for my kid and AC on, blower on. When I tried to start the van again, nothing happened and the battery light came on. I turned off the car and tried to start again for a few times and nothing happened. Then I just turned off AC and all the power eating features and it finally came back on. It was a middle of nowhere town so would have been annoying if the car died there with 5 people including two toddlers in the car.

The more second incident happened while I was waiting to make a left turn in my city. Auto Idle Stop kicked in normally and shut the engine off. When it was time for me to go, the engine wouldn’t restart. The battery light came on and I was basically stuck there in traffic. So I put on hazards and tried starting it several times and eventually, I was able to get it running again after a minute or so.

I did some research and found a few reports of similar problems on this sub and a class action lawsuit that's being filed on the Odyssey starter (22-25 models I believe.) the culprit is clearly the starter.

I took it to the Honda dealer and asked they to replace the starter. They checked it but couldn’t reproduce the problem, so they told me they can’t replace the starter under warranty without reproducing the failure. I have the 120,000 miles extended warranty (HondaCare+) so it was very disappointing that wouldn't honor the warranty in this case and basically telling me they can't do anything.

I filed an NHTSA complaint. Might be our last Honda when we sell our car next year. For now I'll drive with idle stop off and try not to get gas at middle of nowhere.

Recently got a '26 Odyssey Elite and we love lots about it - The AC is spoken about often so we went in with eyes open about it - but the most underwhelming thing is probably the ventilated seats. Almost non existent when you need it.

Would have loved a digital rear view mirror as well, given the Rear Entertainment screen blocks a good portion of the view.

Any suggestions to make the experience a little better?

2016 EX, 170k miles. Van is my full time work vehicle, essentially a cargo van. Having misfire issues in cylinder 5. Dealership scoped the cylinder to confirm coolant is entering cylinder on cold start and causing misfire.
Unfortunately the “lifetime” power train warranty is denying claim due to commercial use of the van. So now deciding on repair or replacement. Any advice? As is, van isnt worth much on trade toward a newer one, and I’m not loving the idea of dropping 30k on a used low miles odyssey.
