Honda has had to replace pistons and rings under warranty on several million 2.4L engines. The Odyssey has a history of transaxle issues as well. The V-6 engine has been OK for the most part. IMO, it's a little unfair to blame a manufacturer, (Ford) for engine problems that have occurred with a previous owner over an extended time. It could have been a lease truck and never had a single oil change until it was turned back in. See that all the time and that will kill any turbo engine. 300 HP small turbo engines need meticulous service on time to live a long happy life.

They had an Expedition SUV.
