Jul 2011 3000 mi	Performed TSB on front suspension struts - greased up to reduce noise.
Oct 2011 5000 mi	Photo sensor for the auto headlights (also inputs to the auto climate control) is far too sensitive - only turns lights off when dashboard is in direct sunlight - technician said he couldn't replicate but I demonstrated for service manager.
Dec 2011 7000 mi	Nav screen randomly goes crazy - only way to reset is to turn off vehicle and restart. Honda TSB 11-022 covers replacing the screen, although despite me asking, the dealer did not have the part in stock and has to special order.

Jul 2013 20700 mi	Reperformed bulletin 11-038 to lube front struts (steering making noise at parking lot speeds) Bluetooth connection for iPhone4 does not work sporadically. Dealer stated no recalls and other Hondas have issues w/ iPhone4 but not other iPhone models. The iPhone4 has no issues with many other vehicle bluetooths. Design deficiency.
Nov 2013 24000 mi	Broken key - replaced under TSB A13-100 Creaking front suspension is back again - dealer opted to order new front right strut instead of lube (TSB 11-038) - new strut has new part number (A04)

May 2014 28700 mi	Tailgate was rusting on the bottom edge. Repainted entire bottom half of tailgate and replaced bolts holding on trim (which were the cause of the corrosion per Honda notice). Creaking sound from steering at parking lot speeds. Duplicated with tech in the car. Determined the sound was coming from lightly pressing the brakes with the car rolling, not the strut or steering rack - so no repair needed.
Aug 2015 39300 mi	Creaking noise supposedly from struts (per previous Honda TSB) returned - tech said Honda guidance said to grease steering rack; noise is gone now.
Oct 2015 40200 mi US $68	Water leaking into drivers side headliner from clogged sunroof drain, also soaking the floor (presumably from the dripping headliner).

TSB 16-108 Odyssey second row outer seat repair for slide function. Right side sliding door occasionally jams and makes popping sound when opening or closing. Service writer observed the problem.

Worked fine when picked up but problem still exists occasionally (just when using handle, as opposed to button).
Sep 2017 55965 mi US $145	Sliding door has been jamming occasionally for a while, getting worse over time. Tech discovered two problems - a bottlecap wedged behind one of the latches in the door frame, and chocolate melted around one of the door latches (these are on the bottom of the door). He removed the debris, lubed with white lithium grease, but there is still a little chocolate inside the latch so I will need to take a hair dryer to melt all the chocolate and restore full functionality.
Feb 2018 59000 mi US $10	The key blade fixed to the body of the remote broke off; repair requires new key body. Asked dealer to replace key under Honda TSB 13-100, as key broke exactly as detailed in TSB, using HondaCare extended warranty. HondaCare denied claim, saying the key was "mechanical failure", not electrical, which would have been covered by warranty. Despite the fact that the TSB specifically describes the failure as an engineering defect and the HondaCare terms do not exclude the key (the HondaCare rep asserted that "keys have never been covered under this warranty"). Honda customer service declined to cover the repair too. After arguing with HondaCare again about the specific terms in the warranty agreement, HondaCare covered most of the cost of the repair.

Jun 2022 88000 mi US $300	Alternator starting whining loudly. Within two short trips, battery charge light came on. Local shop would not source Denso (Honda OEM) and dealer wanted over $1000 for the replacement. Bought a Denso factory rebuild alt directly (not listed in rockauto catalog but is if you search the model number itself). Youtube to the rescue, did it myself in the driveway. Pretty tight to do it from above but doable.
