2007 Honda Odyssey

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Odyssey.

Body VANTransmission Automatic 5-spd

The 2007 Honda Odyssey is a minivan built around a five-speed automatic transmission, returning EPA fuel economy of 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined, with service intervals calling for 4.5 quarts of 5W-20 API oil. This model year has accumulated 829 owner complaints and five recalls, with the service brake hydraulic system standing out as the most frequently cited trouble area. Within the Odyssey's broader complaint record spanning 1990 through 2026—where annual totals have ranged from a single report in 1994 to a peak of 972 in 2002—the 2007 lands clearly in the upper tier of problem years. For a researcher weighing the data, that elevated figure suggests the 2007 deserves particular scrutiny when evaluating the nameplate's overall reliability profile.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 Odyssey registers 829 complaints, 5 recalls, 3 investigations, and 45 technical service bulletins—its complaint count matches the 2005 peak and exceeds the 2006 dip, placing it near the high‑mid point of the generation’s overall upward trend that peaked in the early 2000s and again in the 20182019 resurgence. Compared with the surrounding years, 2007’s recall volume (5) is modestly higher than the 2006 low of 4 but well below the 2008‑2009 range of 5‑4 and far beneath the later spikes of 16‑20 recalls in 2018‑2019, indicating a relatively stable safety record for its era. The top complaint categories—service brakes (112), structure (107), steering (76), and power‑train (59)—show that mechanical and chassis issues dominate, while crash‑related complaints (38) and fire complaints (15) remain low, suggesting no pronounced systemic safety defect for this model year. Overall, 2007 sits in a middle‑ground of the generation’s complaint/recall arc, offering a comparatively moderate risk profile, making it a reasonable year to consider when buying a used Odyssey.
