2004 HONDA ODYSSEY
This model year
What the record shows
The 2004 Honda Odyssey is a two-wheel-drive minivan, and the 15th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1990 to 2027.
The EPA rated one configuration: a single 3.5-litre six-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic 5-spd and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 19 mpg.
The federal record holds 584 owner complaints, 11 safety recalls, 1 investigation and 97 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
