    For some reason my particular van is not included in at least 2 recalls where other same year odysseys are included. These all have the same engine, transmission and fuel system. My van was diagnosed by a mechanic as having a fuel pump module leak, which is recalled for some 2008 odussseys, but curiously not for mine. The same situation exists for the tailgate stay gas leakage, again, also recalled on some 2008…

    The car keeps giving a "tighten fuel cap" warning..i have checked and replaced the fuel cap with a honda gem fuel cap and i still get the warning...i have read that there is a seal on the fuel tank/pump assembly that perishes which must surely be a fire/explosion hazard. This warning light comes on intermittently when the car is at idle or moving and stays on fairly constantly.

The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they diagnosed the vehicle with a leaking spool valve cover. The contact spoke with the manufacturer who informed her…

    I don't have the exact dates of when this started, but the odyssey started consuming enough oil around 2011 that i had to add it between changes. Then in the last few years, it's gotten to the point where you can smell the oil burning and sometimes the exhaust is gray, a dead-tell of burning oil. Now it will not pass smog as of dec 2017. When i was looking for information about the smoking, i found out about the…
