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 5,364 complaints with NHTSA about the 2018–2025 Honda Odyssey, and 783 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.

43% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 4 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 forward collision avoidance (20.4% of complaints, typically around 46,000 miles), the electrical system (17.2% of complaints, typically around 11,000 miles), the engine (11.4% of complaints, typically around 34,000 miles).

27 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 2018–2025 Honda Odyssey last?

Half of the failure reports on the 2018–2025 Honda Odyssey were filed by 17,000 miles and 90% by 100,000 miles — figures drawn from 783 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.

1 report (0.1%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a Odyssey reached that mileage, not that it died there.

Before you buy a 2018–2025 Odyssey: the 3-minute check

Generated from 783 mileage-tagged complaints, 27 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.

  1. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 27 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
  2. Ask for electrical system repair records. This area fails at a median of 11,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
  3. Ask for problems owners could not categorise repair records. This area fails at a median of 6,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
  4. Check transmission on 2018–2019 cars. ZF 9HP 9-speed automatic harsh shifting, hesitation and delayed engagement on 2018-2019 lower-trim vans; Honda dropped the 9-speed in favor of its own 10-speed across the range for 2020.
  5. Check seats on 2018–2020 cars. Second-row 'Magic Slide' seat latch may not fully engage, allowing the seat to move in a crash; subject of Honda recall action.
  6. Check engine on 2018–2025 cars. VCM oil consumption and spark plug fouling persist on the J35Y6.
  7. Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
  8. 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: 43% 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, forward collision avoidance and the electrical system are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The electrical system in particular shows a median failure mileage of 11,000, 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 17,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.

Forward collision avoidance accounts for 20.4% of complaints (1,094 reports, 19 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 46,000 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 18,000 and 72,000 miles.

The electrical system accounts for 17.2% of complaints (924 reports, 170 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 11,000 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 3,000 and 35,000 miles.

The engine accounts for 11.4% of complaints (612 reports, 72 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 34,000 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 9,000 and 90,000 miles.

Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 9.3% of complaints (501 reports, 77 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 6,000 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 800 and 12,000 miles.

The transmission and driveline accounts for 6.7% of complaints (359 reports, 93 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 17,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,000 and 40,000 miles.

The fuel and propulsion system accounts for 4.5% of complaints (239 reports, 14 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 17,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 9,000 and 45,000 miles.

Differences between model years

Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2018 model year drew the most — 1,645 complaints — while 2024 drew the fewest at 147. The median year sits at 357.

That makes 2018 an outlier: roughly 4.6 times the median year of this generation. A single year standing that far apart usually reflects either a first-year issue that was later corrected, or a component change introduced for that year. Anyone shopping this generation has a straightforward reason to prefer a different year, all else being equal.

Recalls and what they cover

NHTSA records 27 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 the reversing camera and sensors (5), the airbag system (4), the fuel system (3). 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.

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
