2024 Honda Odyssey

No clear pattern

6.4% of complaints about the 2024 Honda Odyssey arrived in its first year of service. That is an unusual figure for a 2024 vehicle, but with only 171 complaints on record the sample is too small to call it a pattern — the margin of error covers the range where ordinary vehicles sit. The figures below are reported without a verdict. The most-reported system is electrical system (45 complaints), typically at 2.4 yr or about 30,000 miles.

Complaints: 171
Median age at failure: 2.3 yr
Median mileage: 9,000 n=11
Crash / fire / tow: 4.1% of reports
Safety recalls: 3

Steering

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Odyssey and 2024 Acura RDX vehicles. The steering gear box assembly may not have been tightened properly, allowing water to enter the assembly and cause corrosion and binding gears.

Corroded and binding steering gears can result in a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash.

Collision avoidance mileage not reported 10 mo in service

This car continues to slam on the automatic brakes when there is no obstruction. There is no car in front of me today. It almost caused a major accident.

Collision avoidance mileage not reported 1.1 yr in service crash / fire / tow

At speed less than 25 mph, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) did not work. At cross roads this CMBS will not work when a vehicle comes from the side. This will work only if it detects the vehicle's presence in front for more than 3-5 seconds. Will not activate during sudden presence of vehicle at any speed.

Other mileage not reported 2.0 yr in service

On multiple occasions, the idle-stop function engaged at a red light and then either the entire car shut down or the computer froze for a minute or two then restarted. For each incident, we had cars behind us that either nearly hit us when we did not go forward when the light turned green or nearly hit us by aggressively going around us while we restarted the engine.

How to read this

This is what owners reported, not a reliability rating. People file with NHTSA about alarming failures, not routine ones, and complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold.
Failure ages come from the incident date on each complaint, populated on about 83% of records. Mileage is shown where reported — NHTSA’s 2021 system change cut mileage capture to roughly 15%, so it thins out sharply after MY2020.
Every rank compares this vehicle only against others of the same model year. A 2025 car has not had time to accumulate five-year failures, so comparing early-failure share across years is meaningless.
Fourteen make-months distorted by media storms and mass recalls — Toyota in February 2010 ran 11× normal volume across 33 models — are excluded.
Recalls are manufacturer actions and authoritative; complaints are not. A recall listed here may already have been performed on any individual car. Check a specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
