Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, public domain. Complaint counts reflect what owners reported and are not a measure of failure rate per vehicle sold.
What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.
Owners filed 1,976 complaints with NHTSA about the 2011–2017 Honda Odyssey, and 1,307 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.
29% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 10 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. Failures clustered that early usually indicate a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear.
The most-reported areas are the engine (17.5% of complaints, typically around 67,000 miles), the brakes (11.9% of complaints, typically around 25,000 miles), the electrical system (11.0% of complaints, typically around 17,000 miles).
14 recall campaigns cover this generation.
If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.
How many miles does a 2011–2017 Honda Odyssey last?
Half of the failure reports on the 2011–2017 Honda Odyssey were filed by 30,000 miles and 90% by 102,000 miles — figures drawn from 1,307 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.
15 reports (1.1%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a Odyssey reached that mileage, not that it died there.
Before you buy a 2011–2017 Odyssey: the 3-minute check
Generated from 1,307 mileage-tagged complaints, 14 recall campaigns, 2 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 14 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Check engine on 2011–2017 (extension covers through 2013) cars. VCM-induced piston ring wear causing oil consumption, fouled plugs and misfires; American Honda issued a warranty extension covering spark plug fouling with DTCs P0301-P0304 on MY2008-2013 vehicles. Broken engine mounts…
- Check body on 2011–2017 cars. Power sliding door failures and A/C condenser leaks from road debris.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, an early-failure pattern is comparatively good news on a used example: 29% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, which on a car of this age means they have already happened or they were never going to. Service history matters more than mileage here.
On inspection, the engine and the brakes are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The brakes in particular shows a median failure mileage of 25,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 30,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
The engine accounts for 17.5% of complaints (346 reports, 161 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 67,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 28,000 and 97,000 miles.
The brakes account for 11.9% of complaints (235 reports, 200 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 25,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 15,000 and 40,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 11.0% of complaints (218 reports, 164 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 17,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 70,000 miles.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 11.0% of complaints (217 reports, 147 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 28,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 3,000 and 61,000 miles.
Body structure accounts for 7.9% of complaints (157 reports, 103 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 49,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 22,000 and 72,000 miles.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 7.6% of complaints (150 reports, 84 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 39,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 15,000 and 64,000 miles.
Differences between model years
Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2014 model year drew the most — 406 complaints — while 2017 drew the fewest at 48. The median year sits at 291.
Recalls and what they cover
NHTSA records 14 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around seats (4), the fuel system (2), the airbag system (2). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.
Reported severity
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 1,976 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 117 (5.9%)
- Fires
- 27
- Injury reports
- 90
- Fatality reports
- 0
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Documented problems
Engine 2011–2017 (extension covers through 2013)
VCM-induced piston ring wear causing oil consumption, fouled plugs and misfires; American Honda issued a warranty extension covering spark plug fouling with DTCs P0301-P0304 on MY2008-2013 vehicles. Broken engine mounts are the common secondary failure.
Body 2011–2017
Power sliding door failures and A/C condenser leaks from road debris.
