2010 Honda Odyssey: misfire or rough idle

Filed Jan 2, 2024 · Engine · CA

Honda service bulletin [XXX] I recently discovered after doing some research on why my 2010 Odyssey is showing cylinder1 misfire code. I replaced the injectors, swapped coil packs, etc. Still cylinder1 misfire issue. Now I find out that Honda is aware of this issue and related to VCM and some rings on piston(s) aligning. Fortunately for Honda, the 8 years unlimited miles is most likely out of a window where statistically the issue will be seen. That is my case. Sept 25, 2021 is when this first started, and has continued to be an issue. I never received notice from Honda since this is a used van. Anyway, I would like some assistance in rectifying this issue for our family van. My local Honda dealer is not even remotely interested in repairing the issue based on [XXX] because of the 8 year extended warranty is no longer applicable. I need help from Honda NA. If you know there is an issue with ring alignment, extending this for 8 years doesn't seem like you are capturing the majority of the problems; most likely a calculated risk... My Odyssey didn't show the issue until 11 years after the 2010 manufacturing date... fortunate for Honda. I need help from Honda on this, even to meet me 1/2 way to cover repair costs. This seems unacceptable to me that an issue as serious as this, known by Honda, and won't be addressed. Please help. Thank you, [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The car is currently registering individual cylinder and multiple random cylinder misfires. When starting- the engine will vibrate excessively for a short period of time then will even out and run normally. At idle, the engine will experience mildly excessive vibration. I have taken the car to several repair shops and have replaced coils and spark plugs. One repair shop mentioned a valve timing control code on their diagnostic equipment. I took the car to an official dealer for the manufacturer and they did not identify this code. The dealer indicated that a valve adjustment was needed. I then retrieved the car and had an alternate dealer for the manufacturer diagnose the issue. This second dealer service department also indicated that a valve adjustment was needed. The valve adjustment repair was performed. The car drove normally for a few days then began reand an gular moderate to heavy vibration, the 'check engine' light flashed on and off then eventually stayed on continuously. The car was returned to the dealer who had done the valve adjustment and the dealer indicated that the car engine needs to be replaced or that both head gaskets need to be replaced. I found that there was a class action lawsuit filed against this manufacturer related to valve timing control problems leading to cylinder misfires and engine failure with an extended warranty offered as a result. I called the national corporate offices and inquired if this warranty applied to my vehicle. They advised that there was an extended warranty related to the issues I had described but that the VIN for my vehicle was not listed among the warranted vehicles. I was told my only option would be to file a complaint to see if the nhsta could require the manufacturer to include my vehicle under warranty for repair as the warranty resulted from a lawsuit related to a known design issue with the car.

The vehicle was in motion, when the check engine light started flashing and the vehicle started jerking. I rushed to the dealership and I was informed that there was misfiring and they had to update the software, replace the spark plugs. They also informed that the piston rings were leaking and some of the engine oil was burnt, I also heard that this was an issue on this vehicle that others had faced, a class action lawsuit had been filed where honda had provided a warranty extension and not a recall, so the issue will have to be handled by me. I was worried about my family's safety and honda was not ready to resolve the issue.
