2010 Honda Odyssey

Complaints about the 2010 Honda Odyssey cluster most heavily around structural issues and the engine, with service brakes also drawing notable attention. The structure category is dominated by sliding door failures, owners frequently report one or both rear sliding doors stopping working without warning, sometimes accompanied by a parasitic electrical drain that kills the battery within a day or two of the van sitting idle. Removing the door fuse is a common workaround owners describe, though it leaves the doors difficult to open manually. On the brake side, a recurring report describes the pedal going completely stiff shortly after startup, making the brakes temporarily unresponsive; separately, owners describe the van shuddering and becoming hard to control during hard braking or downhill stops.
