2022 Honda Odyssey: engine and transmission complaints
NO ELEVATED SIGNAL
26%
31 of 117 relevant owner complaints are about the engine, transmission or fuel system
No elevated drivetrain complaint concentration in the available NHTSA records for the 2022 Honda Odyssey. Engine, transmission and fuel system account for 26% of relevant complaints.
Better than 76% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 14 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 24%).
Manufacturers fix things mid-generation. A bad year next to a clean one is common; the fix usually arrived in between.
