Other wheel or tire problem on the 2002 Honda Odyssey
Only 6 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.
When other wheel or tire problem gets reported
There are 17 reports of other wheel or tire problem on the 2002 Honda Odyssey, 6 with a mileage attached. That is too few to place the failure on the odometer with any confidence.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 60,000 miles. It is the 9th most-reported problem on this model year.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | 37,500 miles | — | — |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Putting it right typically runs $200–$1,500 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 18 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2020, at a median of 10,000 miles, and latest on the 2004 at 105,000 miles.
By volume the 2006 carries the most reports, with 30; the 2002 has 17. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
I have this rumble and vibration. I have had the van to the dealer many times and they say they have checked everything. I have also had the vehicle re-aligned, all new tires and re-balanced several times. At approx 60 MPH the rumble begins as if the tire is out of balance and is severe enough that you can see the tops of the middle row seats vibrate. I am very concerned that the rumble will eventually put stress and extreme wear or the powertrain, wheels and tires. *nm

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 honda odyssey. The vehicle has american platinum (t-rated) premium edition tires. The contact purchased the tires in june of 2005. She stated that the tires fail to remain balanced. On october 3, 2005 at 68,785 miles, the vehicle received a front end alignment and the tires were balanced and rotated. After leaving the dealer the same day, the steering wheel began to shake and bounce repeatedly while driving 57 MPH. He returned to the dealer to have the tires rebalanced. The vehicle was taken in again on october 24, 2006 to have the tires rotated and balanced at 73,120 miles. The dealer stated that the front driver side tire bands had failed and they replaced the tire. There is no mileage warranty on the tires. The vehicle was then taken to honda for an alignment. Honda measured the road force on the tires and found that all four wheels were out of balance. Two out of the four tires had excessive road force. All four tires were balanced and rotated and the two rear tires were replaced, so that the shaking and bouncing of the steering wheel would cease. The contact stated that the tire did not have a DOT…

How far this goes
This page is kept out of search results because 17 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.
Complaints are voluntary, so 17 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other wheel or tire problem happen on the 2002 Honda Odyssey?
Across 6 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 40,000 miles. A quarter were filed before — and a quarter after —. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other wheel or tire problem on the 2002 Honda Odyssey?
17 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.1 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
