“2010 odyssey w/ about 159k miles. Engine started misfiring. There was a recall on this, but honda is saying it expired, and I am not eligible for cost coverage, and the repairs only have a 50% chance of fixing the issue. I bought the car used in 2016, and they say the recall expired after make year.”
