Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'd never buy any Honda with the 3.5V6 with eco mode. At least not without also buying an aftermarket harness to disable eco mode.
It's a minivan, dude. You're already not buying it for the performance.
Honda eco mode shuts off one bank of cylinders in cruising and coasting conditions. In a very short period of time (60K miles for ours, I've seen reports of it happening earlier), those cylinders running without combustion will eat the piston rings. If you drive less aggressively, this happens sooner. Honda may or may not pay for the several thousand dollar repair, depending on which corporate warranty adjuster you happen to get.
There was already a class action for certain model years, with a TSB. But they didn't actually change anything about the design, so it does happen in any 3.5V6: Odyssey, Pilot, whatever.
That is horrifying. Do they still use the engine?
They made changes to the gen 5 (2018-2023) that fixed that particular issue.
Yup.
The older ones had problems with carbon buildup causing oil consumption because of the cylinder deactivation that's why many of the forums are filled with people disabling the vcm module
The newer ones, too.
