I’ve driven my 2018 Honda Odyssey for a while and noticed a few things my buddies with the same car mentioned. The AC seems to act up sometimes, especially when you’re switching modes or turning it on after driving for a while. One friend of mine said his AC just blew warm air even in the middle of winter. Another problem that gets brought up a lot is the engine light—random times without much of a reason, at least according to my friend’s mechanic.
And the transmission, it can be a pain too. Some folks mentioned it shifts rough now and then. But the worst thing is the cabin air filters. Mine needed a change much sooner than expected. Checked the threads, and it’s a common complaint. And the radio, mine just went off completely once and wouldn’t turn back on until I had it checked. Crazy right? Have you had any of these issues?
Just wondering, what’s your go-to fix when something starts acting up with your car? Or have you had some other crazy Odyssey problems we haven’t covered yet?
I’ve been dealing with some issues on my ‘18 Honda Odyssey here in Atlanta. The A/C started acting up last summer, barely chillin’. A few neighbors mentioned problems with the power windows acting wonky too. Not bad overall, but those fixes, ya know? Had to head to the dealer for the AC and DIY for a switch swap on a window. Anyone else feelin’ those hiccups or solved 'em?
I’ve got a buddy who’s had his 2018 Odyssey since late 2019; living in Toronto, he kept hitting starting issues and had a rough time with the AC compressor failing. It’s been a b*tch. Heard from others too, transmission quirks are common around Seattle. We get it, no car’s perfect, but it’s been a pain.
I’ve got an ‘18 Odyssey here in Toronto, man. Been having issues with the AC actin’ up – just gave up! Totally unreliable on that, unexpected bills too. Whatcha hear about the ECM mess? Anyone else freakin’ out over those diagnostics flickers? Let’s chat!
I’ve got a '16 Odyssey based in Toronto and spoke with a few folks here. Common gripes? Transmission weirdness and those pesky power locks acting funny—especially in colder weather. Vouched for, I tell ya!
I have a 2018 Honda Odyssey up here in Ontario, and I’ve noticed a few quirks. Some owners mention issues with the power window switches being finicky—like holding them down forever before they do anything. Another common gripe is the brake lights acting up. I mean, who wants front brake lights staying on? Regular maintenance helps, but it’s something to watch out for! So glad for the space though—family life’s a breeze with this size.
I’ve got a 2018 Honda Odyssey in Toronto, and it’s been hitting my nerve with the CVT transmission. Slows down like a lazy Sunday. Thought I’d be chill, but now constantly eyeing for repairs. Heard similar stories north, anyone else dealing? The sunroof leaks too, catching water like a duck — frustrating!
I’ve had an Odyssey since '17 in Texas, and those transmission glitches are making me crazy! My neighbor, too, singing the same tune about transmission troubles. Also, door handles can be finicky here; gets stuck sometimes. Was thinking of swapping to '20— maybe dodge the quirks?
I’m in NY, and I’ve noticed some '18 Odyssey owners chatting about the power steering cutting out directly. Super annoying when you’re maneuvering tight spots! Also, I’ve heard a few folks mentioning worn-out door latches. Sometimes, you pop it open and the door just slips closed! Fun times on the road, but these issues can be a real pain in the ass. Hope Honda catches it at the next service!
In Seattle, I’ve been driving my ‘18 Odyssey, and it’s been a beast. Noticed some infotainment glitches n’ the CVT transmission acting weird sometimes. Also, power sliding’s a bit much during heavy rain. Hope Honda fixes these soon, as they’re kinda bumming out for a family ride! Shared my thoughts so ya’ll know what to expect.
I’ve got a '19 Odyssey blessed be, but my cousin in Canada’s 2018 model had some issues. Transmission glitches and battery tantrums were real trouble, he said. Thought I dodged those for sure. Keep your fingers crossed for good maintenance!
I’ve had some major oil leaks with my 2018 Honda Odyssey in Texas. The powertrain has also been finicky; sometimes it randomly shuts off. Heard it’s a whole mess for others too. Engine light pops up on and off too. Crazy annoying but love the car.
I’ve got a '17 Odyssey, not quite 2018 yet, but in Texas heat, the A/C had issues—felt like a sauna. Pushed through but, man, those check engine lights showed up more than a rockstar at Coachella. What’s your take on this? Heard there’s a big recall!
In North Carolina, I’ve noticed a few folks discussing the 2018 Honda Odyssey. I have issues with the fuel door locking mechanism—sounds simple but gets annoying over time. Also, I’ve heard about transmission glitches from others. Not a car full of bells and whistles but solid otherwise! Just keep tabs on those quirks!
I’ve had an '18 Odyssey in Texas, and the CVT issues popped up fast. Some folks in Canada say timing belt changes are a headache, too. Wondering if they’re all the rage? Ha. Despite the niggles, love the room and ride!
