Owner Complaints (6)
Your 2015 Honda Odyssey may experience a leaking gasket on the rocker arm oil control valve that allows engine oil to drip onto the alternator below it, potentially contaminating the electrical charging system and creating a fire risk. You may notice sudden, unexplained acceleration without pressing the gas pedal, followed by electrical failures and a dead battery even after replacement. The vehicle can stall unexpectedly in traffic, leaving you stranded without power steering or lights. Fixing this issue typically involves replacing the faulty rocker arm oil control valve gasket and possibly the alternator if it's been contaminated.

HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE EARLIER IN THE DAY - INFO DISPLAY SHOWED A WARNING ABOUT MULTIPLE SYSTEMS AND WOULDN'T START THE ENGINE. HONDA INVESTIGATED, NO FAULT FOUND, BUT "TWO CELLS IN BATTERY LOW." THEY PROVIDED A PROBABLE CAUSE OF "SOME LIGHT LEFT ON IN THE CAR WHICH DRAINED THE BATTERY" (WHICH WE KNEW NOT TO BE THE CASE). SAME FAULT OCCURRED AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP, TURNED OFF AND ON A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND THEN IT RESTARTED. DRIVING HOME AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH THE CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF - NO POWER STEERING ASSIST AND NO GAS PEDAL. MANAGED TO WRESTLE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MANAGED TO START VEHICLE AGAIN AFTER 5 - 10 MINUTES, BUT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME. *TR
