Common problems with the 2025 Odyssey
NHTSA's file holds 462 owner complaints on the 2025 Honda Odyssey. Owners named the engine most often: 256 complaints, and half of the 5 that list a mileage came after 18,000 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | 256 | 5 | 18,266 |
| Electrical System | 243 | 14 | 16,000 |
| Power Train | 45 | 2 | Under 5 mileages |
| Fuel/propulsion System | 21 | 0 | Under 5 mileages |
| Forward Collision Avoidance | 14 | 0 | Under 5 mileages |
Of the 462 complaints, 4 report a crash, none reports a fire and 5 report an injury (5 people reported injured). These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2025 Odyssey
The 27 mileages owners gave run from 100 to 50,000 miles. A quarter are at or under 10,000 miles, half at or under 16,000, three quarters at or under 22,000 and nine in ten at or under 30,000; none came after 100,000 miles, none after 150,000 and none after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2025 Odyssey wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: all 27 came at or under 100,000 miles, so they say nothing about how many miles a 2025 Odyssey can cover.
Complaint mileage also follows a model year's age: the 2025 has had less time to cover miles than older years, so its figures will rise as it ages.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lowest mileage listed | 100 miles |
| 25th percentile | 10,000 miles |
| Median (50th percentile) | 16,000 miles |
| 75th percentile | 22,000 miles |
| 90th percentile | 30,000 miles |
| Highest mileage listed | 50,000 miles |
| Complaints after 100,000 miles | none |
| Complaints after 150,000 miles | none |
| Complaints after 200,000 miles | none |

Is the 2025 Odyssey a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2025 is a good or a bad Odyssey: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2025 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 462 complaints, the 2025 ranks 14th of the 32 Honda Odyssey model years from 1995 to 2026 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2018 (1,016). The fewest: the 1997 (20).
The 2025 is a recent model year: it has had less time than older years to collect complaints, so its count is still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.

| 1995 Odyssey | 96 | 31 | 128,000 |

2025 Honda Odyssey recalls
NHTSA's recall files of November 11, 2026 list 2 recall campaigns that name the 2025 Honda Odyssey. A campaign covers a production range, not every vehicle of the model year: check the VIN with NHTSA's free recall lookup.
What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2025 Odyssey lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2025 Odyssey.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 435 of the 462 complaints on the 2025 Honda Odyssey give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: ODYSSEY. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: ODYSSEY.
