2006 Honda Odyssey mileage at failure

561 of the 703 complaints on file for the 2006 Honda Odyssey give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
EngineMedian 75,000 milesMiddle half 55,000–105,000 milesBased on 125 complaints
SteeringMedian 50,000 milesMiddle half 35,000–80,000 milesBased on 105 complaints
StructureMedian 75,000 milesMiddle half 40,000–125,000 milesBased on 84 complaints
Power TrainMedian 95,000 milesMiddle half 70,000–135,000 milesBased on 73 complaints
Service BrakesMedian 35,000 milesMiddle half 20,000–75,000 milesBased on 56 complaints
EquipmentMedian 20,000 milesMiddle half 12,000–30,000 milesBased on 32 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.
