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. I was driving my car to work and it lost the ability to accelerate and white smoke was coming out exhaust. And the belt snapped and it has been parked since early february.
