Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the engine. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

On november 11, 2019, I sent my Honda Odyssey to a Honda dealer for maintenance. Everything went normally. After the maintenance, I drove my car back home. Every day, I go to work and work normally. About 10 days after the maintenance, the engine light suddenly turns on. After the car was turned on, the engine lights returned to normal.
