Deferred Failure Risk
Components and defects approaching or past their known service milestones
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.
One failed component has created stress on connected systems. Repair costs compound quickly — a $500 fix can become $3,000+ if cascade damage is ignored.

The front camera failed and made all driver assist, automatic braking, lane departure and collision warnings to fail. The cost of a new camera and calibrations is $2000. This critical piece of safety should not fail so soon or be that expensive to replace.
Automatic sliding door on the driver's side has a rear latch that will not hold the door closed. Currently being fixed at dealer. There was a recall for this model and year for this problem, however my VIN number is not included in the recall
The incident is that the rear brakes keep wearing much faster than the front. New brake pads do not last after only less then 10,000 miles of driving. Dealership and mechanic expect that there is a caliber issue with the 2019 model that is causing the rear brakes to wear too fast. Manufacturer should remedy this issue.
Water entered rear panel causing tailgate control module to get wet and stop working. This caused my tailgate to have no power and unable to close due to the latch being stuck in a closed position. Door was open unable to latch closed while I had to drive the vehicle to a mechanic.
The camera for collision, cruise control, lane assistance and etc stopped working. Over $2000 to replace and not covered under warranty
For the past 6 months the vehicle shows warnings regarding lane keeping assistance problems, cruise problems, braking problems,. The warning can show up in the middle of driving, or right at start. Sometimes they go away while driving.
Rear passenger suspension failed. Was driving car when I bumped a rut in the road causing failure. No prior warnings prior to incident. Took car to mechanic and the suspension was rusted and nearly snapped in half. Car has received regular maintenance and no issues with suspension had been observed prior.
The rear suspension coil spring on my vehicle fractured and failed. The failure was diagnosed and confirmed by a Honda dealership. The broken spring remains available for inspection upon request. The failure creates a significant safety concern because the vehicle's ride height, handling, and suspension performance are compromised. A broken coil spring can shift position, contact the tire, damage suspension components, and potentially affect vehicle control. The dealership advised that the spring requires replacement. The condition was confirmed by a Honda dealer during inspection. I was informed that replacement OEM springs are on national backorder and are currently unavailable. As a result, the vehicle cannot be repaired with the factory part in a reasonable timeframe. The vehicle has been inspected by a Honda dealership. No accident, collision, or unusual road hazard preceded the failure. Prior to diagnosis, I noticed abnormal suspension noises from the rear of the vehicle, including clunking/creaking sounds while driving over bumps at low speeds. No dashboard warning lights or warning messages were displayed because the suspension system is not monitored by a warning lamp. I am concerned that this may be a broader defect because other Honda Odyssey owners have reported similar rear spring failures, and the replacement parts are difficult to obtain. The combination of a safety-related suspension failure and lack of available replacement parts has left the vehicle unable to be repaired promptly.
Warnings Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assistance, Collision Warning Systems, Brake System showed up while driving the vehicle, upon further search it was found there is a common issue with Honda Odyssey's multipurpose camera, and the dealer is charging 2000$ to fix it. This is a common problem in all the Honda Odyssey. I request NHTSA to look further into this issue and perform a recall or a free of charge installation. The official Honda Odyssey Forum online has countless complaints on the same issue without resolution by Honda. Honda has acted in bad-faith towards their customers since this defect impacts the vehicle's advanced safety features for which buyers incur additional expenses, endangering the lives of passengers. Honda designed a system that requires continuous and substantial expenditures without resolution because it is an engineering problem, i.e., the placement of the radar behind the large, thick plastic H emblem obstructs the radar. I hereby ask that the NHTSA investigate this issue and order Honda to offer a solution in the form of a RECALL that permanent addresses the problem
My safety and families safety is exposed to gas smell leaking inside the vehicle when driving and do/did not have a way to escape the smell inside the vehicle. My children range from infant-teenage and for them to smell a toxic smell can impact their lives and safety
BELIEVE CAMERA SENSOR IN WINDSHIELD OR BEHIND HONDA EMBLEM CAUSING ISSUES WITH 2019 EX-L MODEL/ CAR WILL POP UP 8 DIFFERENT CODES ENDING WITH "TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM" MAKING VEHICLE UNABLE TO OPERATE. IN ADDITION TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, IT ALSO TURNS OFF ALL SAFETY FEATURES IN VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS RECALLED AND FIXED??
While operating the left power sliding door of my 2019 Honda Odyssey, the door came off its tracks during normal use. As the door disengaged, the rear-side glass shattered. The failure required replacement of the power sliding door drive motor, center roller, center roller rail assembly, and rear glass. Broken glass was scattered inside and outside the vehicle, and I sustained a small cut on my hand while cleaning up the shattered glass. The vehicle had approximately 78,000 miles. I believe a power sliding door should not come off its track during normal operation, and this created a safety hazard to due the shattered glass and potential for occupant injury. After the door came off its track and the glass shattered, I was unable to close or secure the sliding door. The vehicle could not be safely operated with the door in that condition, creating an additional safety concern. I had to take the vehicle around the corner to the closest car repair shop for help with getting the door to shut- they couldn't get the door to shut without cutting the cord.
The DTC U300-49 suddenly failed which affects many of the security systems on the 2019 Honda Odyssey. Upon research, this is very common on the Honda Odyssey caused by it overheating which seems like it should be a dangerous part. It is such an expensive part that we as the consumer have to replace and it should be Honda replacing it if it is their fault that this part fails often. I haven't replaced it as we don't have the funds to replace it, so hopefully it won't pose a safety threat as there are 5 warnings showing on my screen daily.
The camera located behind the rearview mirror is faulty. In hot weather locations (like mine in Florida) it stops working. And that means all electronically assisted driving systems LKAS (like cruise control, auto high beam, lane departure, auto distance monitor/collision warning, etc.) malfunction, giving flashing messages about all non-working features. This is due to CMOS image sensor degradation caused by heat exposure. Many people have expressed concerns about this on different Honda forums online. I took it to a Honda dealer and after paying a fee for diagnosis, the service manager said that when the temperature outside gets hot, they get a lot of this kind of service request. They want over $2,300 to replace the camera. They were actually puzzled why Honda does not recall this item. Honda needs to address this since it is actually safety related and indeed a faulty item. There should be no reason for people to pay this outrageous price for something that is clearly a manufacturing problem.
Camera malfunctions with low mileage.
Fuel pump injector needs to be replaced at approximately 68,000 miles. Honda issued an extended warranty on fuel pump injectors for 2018-2019 models but refuses to cover replace it. Check engine light came on due to injector failure. This poses an extreme safety risk.
While waiting at a stoplight, the auto idle system engaged and turned off the vehicle's engine. When attempting to continue through the intersection, the vehicle failed to start again. The only way to restart the engine was to place the car in park and push the stop/start button again. This caused a safety issue because I was in the middle of traffic at an intersection, and was expected to move. Thankfully the vehicle restarted without requiring any further intervention, and as a result the vehicle was not inspected by police or insurance representatives. This exact problem was previously addressed by Honda under a recall. During that time, they performed the software update as necessary, however that obviously did not remedy the problem. After returning my vehicle to the dealer, Honda has verified that my vehicle did experience this event and now says that it will need a new starter at a significant cost to me. I am dismayed by the fact that Honda Technical Service Bulletin 23-009 addresses this exact problem, including a warranty extension for a starter replacement, and yet is not applicable to the Odyssey model. There was no warning or indication that this incident was going to occur, and until the starter can be replaced, the only advice given by Honda was to disable to auto idle system (which must be done each and every time the vehicle is turned off/on).
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that vehicle was serviced by dealer under NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V227000 (Air Bags): but dealer stated that the TCM failed to communicate, and the dealer was unable to update the module unless the contact paid out-of-pocket to service the TCM. The contact stated the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced failure.
The vehicle engine developed a rod knock at around 105,000 miles. Failing connecting rod bearing(s) has been diagnosed as the source of the sound by several different mechanics independently, including the Honda dealership, and engine replacement has been recommended. This first occurred while I was away for an extended period on military orders. My wife, not realizing what the sound was, continued driving on it for 1-2 weeks. Fortunately, no accident occurred, but at any moment the engine could have seized, causing serious bodily harm or death. Leading up to this issue, there had never been any check engine lights, low oil or low oil pressure warnings, or any such notifications that this issue was developing. Oil changes were performed regularly without any concerning oil quality findings. There is a known connecting rod/bearing safety recall involving my make, model, year of vehicle, but Honda is telling me the manufacturing date is not applicable. Despite my formal requests, Honda has been unwilling to acknowledge and help rectify the issue. I submit that the defect in manufacturing is more widespread than they are owning up to.
All ADAS functions stopped working on my 2019 Odyssey during a 6 hour drive to the beach with my family of four. It appears that the multipurpose camera has failed. Some reading online suggests that this is a known thermal defect, and Honda has yet to remedy the issue. Instead opting to let the consumer replace these units at $3k per.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while his wife was attempting to exit the vehicle, the passenger-side sliding door failed to open after several attempts. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V795000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000.
The front camera behind the rear view mirror comes up with code and the cruise control will not work and the lane departure system and the forward Collision system and adaptive cruise control. The front camera issue can only be repaired by replacing the camera between 800 and 1500 cost to purchase the camera plus a 5 to $700 Adas aiming at the dealership and I don't feel that that's correct being that almost every single Honda Odyssey I've touched in my repair shop from 2018 till current has this code coming up. Sometimes I can put a scan tool on the vehicle and clear out the code and do a dynamic aim and the vehicle will correct itself but it will come back relatively quickly and sometimes it's impossible and the camera needs to be changed before anything can be done and all of those systems are deactivated until the front forward facing camera has been replaced. I am a mechanic I service a lot of these Honda Odysseys I have a list of items that I find almost every single one has a problem with this particular vehicle I'm sending in about is my personal vehicle and it has had numerous issues that had nothing to do with the operators of the vehicle solely to do with quality of the vehicle front camera is one the sliding door cable housing collapsing too the rear shocks snapping apart at under 50,000 miles front strut mounts going bad at 60,000 miles. There's also an issue with the driver's seat belts fraying in my car in particular frayed in under 12,000 miles More troubling is that every customer I send to the dealer to get things repaired under warranty comes back weather repaired or not without a single item being recorded by the dealer invariably what ends up happening is the dealer will reset some parameter and make the message or error go away. They will then return the car without any documentation stating anything. Once the customer brings it back after warranty is up the dealer charges to replace a repair because the customer has no proof of prior complaint
My vehicle previously received Safety Recall 20V-437 related to the sliding door handle cable assembly. After the recall repair was completed, the driver's side power sliding door has again begun exhibiting abnormal behavior. The driver's side sliding door does not consistently open fully and has failed to close properly on more than 20 occasions. The problem is reproducible and has become increasingly frequent. On multiple occasions, the power sliding door has also begun closing while children were entering the vehicle, requiring intervention to prevent contact. This condition creates a safety concern because occupants may believe the door has opened or closed properly when it has not. It also creates a risk of injury when the door unexpectedly changes direction or begins closing during entry or exit. The affected component appears to be the driver's side power sliding door system and related latching/closing mechanism. The vehicle has not yet been inspected for this recurrence because Honda advised that a dealer diagnosis is required to determine whether the current condition is related to the prior recall repair. There were no warning lights or dashboard messages associated with the condition. Because this vehicle previously received a safety recall repair addressing sliding door operation and latching concerns, I am reporting the recurrence of similar symptoms for review.
I own a 2019 Honda Odyssey equipped with Honda Sensing. The vehicle has repeatedly displayed multiple driver-assistance system failure warnings, including “Adaptive Cruise Control Problem,” “Lane Keeping Assist Problem,” “Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem,” “Road Departure Mitigation System Problem,” and “Auto High Beam Problem.” The warnings initially appeared intermittently and then began recurring. In some cases, the warnings appeared at startup and remained active while driving. When the warnings are present, multiple Honda Sensing safety features are disabled simultaneously. To address a possible low-voltage condition, I replaced the vehicle’s battery with a new battery. After replacement and normal driving, the warnings continued to occur. The issue therefore does not appear to be solely related to battery condition. I also observed clouding and dark spotting within the front Honda emblem that covers the forward radar sensor. The discoloration appears to be inside the emblem assembly rather than on the exterior surface. Because the radar sensor is located behind this emblem, I am concerned that deterioration of the emblem or radar assembly may be affecting the operation of critical safety systems. This failure impacts several safety-related functions, including adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assistance, road departure mitigation, and automatic high beams. The loss of multiple advanced driver-assistance systems creates a potential safety risk because the vehicle’s collision avoidance and lane assistance features become unavailable without warning. I am submitting this complaint to document a recurring failure affecting multiple Honda Sensing safety systems on my 2019 Honda Odyssey. There are numerous YouTube and social media posts on the same failure for same vehicle. It seems to be an issue for 2019 year
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated when driving 45 MPH, when depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle merged independently to right side of traffic and then minutes later began to work a intended. Several warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. The contact mention this failure has occurred on two different occasions. The vehicle was repaired twice for the same failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate mileage was 66,500.
I was driving on a highway and all of a sudden, I see three warnings appearing on my dashboard - "Emission System Problem", "Blind Spot Info System Problem", "Transmission System Problem". I continued driving but then my vehicle started behaving weird. It started shaking while driving. Luckily, I was close to my exit and l somehow managed to take the exit but I wasn't able to move forward when the road was uphill. I somehow managed to park next to a house and walked back home. It was a really scare drive from the time those errors showed up to when I parked. This all happened few minutes ago. Here below is a thread where I can see others having this problem.

Drove van about 30 miles and when i cranked it back up. It cranked fine but ACC, LKAS, Auto Headlights, and braking system warnings are on. Battery tests fine and camera and emblem is clean and working manner. Not sure whats causing it. Its annoying.
These systems randomly turn off and on while driving with no root cause. Dealership wants a lot of money to fix but they’re not 100% sure what’s causing the problem. Many 2019 Honda Odyssey owners have the same issue and there should be a recall.
Sensor failed, causing many safety systems to fail - front collision warning, lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, etc
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle crashed into a pothole and the front driver side, front passenger side, and side curtain air bags deployed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bags needed to be replaced however, the dealer stated that the manufacturer ordered them to discontinue the repairs and wanted the contact to speak to them directly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,195.
- sudden rod‑bearing failure - no warning - safety risk - matches recall 23V‑751
The fuel injectors failed for the exact same reason as other VINs that Honda issued an extended warranty for. The fuel injectors failed without warning and went into limp mode. The vehicle barely moved in rush hour in an unfamiliar city with very busy traffic. I reached out to Honda and they could not provide an explanation as to why the warranty wasn't extended for the fuel injectors like they were for other VINs. In my opinion, Honda knows there is an issue, but has decided not to do anything about it. Hopefully, NHTSA can help with this potential safety issue. The dealer replaced the fuel injectors due them failing and the injectors are available for inspection.
The vehicle is experiencing a dangerous hesitation during acceleration at low speeds, immediately followed by a sudden, violent forward lunging motion. When attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, or when rolling at low speeds (such as yielding at a roundabout, turning through an intersection, or merging into slow-moving traffic), the vehicle suffers from a distinct **lag or complete failure to accelerate** for several critical seconds. In an attempt to get the vehicle to move out of harm's way, the driver naturally applies more pressure to the gas pedal. The vehicle's transmission then randomly responds after a few seconds with a violent lunge forward, spinning the tires and causing the vehicle to surge unpredictably. This unpredictable behavior creates an immediate and severe safety risk to the occupants of my vehicle and others on the road: 1. Intersection Collisions: The sudden lag leaves the vehicle stranded in oncoming traffic during turns, while the subsequent lunge threatens to overshoot the intended lane. 2. Pedestrian Hazards: The sudden, uncontrollable lunging makes low-speed maneuvers in school zones, crosswalks, and parking lots incredibly hazardous. 3. Drivers behind behind me do not expect a vehicle to suddenly stop accelerating after it has begun to move forward. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership we're we were able to reproduce the issue and Honda would not offer a fix. I thought I was going to get my entire family killed the other day when I pulled out at a stop the van hesitated in the middle of the highway for a few seconds before lunging forward. This is an intermittent issueand the severity varies each time, but is commonly cited online.
I keep getting a brake system light come on. Multiple warnings about the adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, collision mitigation, and auto high beam. I used a code reader and it came back with code U3000-49 Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar Internal Electronic Failure. I have seen multiple reports of this online regarding honda vehicles. Honda quotes repairs anywhere between $1500-$2500 to repair this unit. This should not be an issue on a car that is only 6-7 years old, 5-6 years old at the time the issue started. Given the seriousness of this issue and the amount of reports about this same issue online, a recall of this unit needs to be issued.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly lost automotive power. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it remains, where it was diagnosed with a fuel pump failure. The vehicle was not repaired due to the costs. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired at another local dealer under NHTSA Campaign: 21V215000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, it did not prevent a failure from occurring. Upon further investigation, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign:23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
Root problem seems to be the forward looking camera and/or radar, though there are 8-10 codes in total. This one looks like the primary problem: U3000-49 — Multipurpose Camera Unit / Millimeter Wave Radar Internal Electronic Failure As a result, we no longer have safety features such as emergency braking, collision warning, lane departure warning, or lane keeping assistance. Additionally, cruise control is no longer available. The vehicle is still drivable, but without any of the safety features reliant upon the camera and radar. There one one trip in the last few days where everything functioned normally, but on every other trip these warnings have shown up as soon as the vehicle is started. The warnings for all of those systems are displayed in the gage cluster, as well as a “brake system” light being visible. Sometimes, when the vehicle is started, additional warnings are displayed for blind spot indicator and the transmission. There were no symptoms leading up to this. Everything worked and looked normal one morning, then suddenly appeared when the vehicle was started later that evening. We have not yet had the vehicle inspected by anyone as it’s currently a holiday weekend.
Either the ADAS camera or the radar sensor in the van is not functioning properly. The odyssey has know issues like the camera overheating and dies or the radar can be mis aligned by going through a car wash. We do not know which is not working in our van but we are now locked out of basic features on the van. The biggest problem is that cruise control no longer functions. I had previously turned adaptive cruise control (ACC) off and reverted the van to normal cruise control (CC). With the new issue, I al locked out of using CC even though it does not rely on the ADAS camera or the radar sensor.
Fuel injector failure in exact manner described in TSB 21-010 and code P219A. The Emissions error is exactly matching TSB 21-010. Honda states that the VIN number is outside of scope and is requesting an out of pocket repair. According to many online complaints, the VIN numbers need to be expanded.
When picking my child up from school, upon departure, the front end of the vehicle began violently shaking and sounding as if it wanted to shut down, simultaneously, a number of system failure warnings displayed on the dash. I was able to get the vehicle into a parking spot and turn it off. It would not restart. I called a tow truck and had it towed to a local garage as it was not safe to drive even if it did start. Upon the local mechanic pulling codes, they pulled the code P0087 indicating a failure of the fuel system, gasoline: delivery: Fuel pump. This incident put myself, my 3 children in the vehicle as well as other pedestrian children and adult pedestrians at great risk, because if I had lost control and not been able to park safely, the outcome may have been extremely different. The problem has been confirmed by local mechanic and is scheduled with the dealer in 5 days. There were no prior warnings or indications of the failure. Honda issued a recall in 2021 then closed it. It was later expanded by NHTSA in 2024. Then again closed. We never received notification of the recall either time. recall numbers follow: 21V-21520V-314 expanded recall: 23V-858/Honda TSB 24-022 Both, Im told are closed, which is unfathomable to me given the significant and known dangers attributed to this issue.
Power Tail Gate electronic circuit is not working due to water seeping into the trunk from the Roof rails there is a manufacture defect with the sealants on the roof. Water seeping into the car is damaging the Battery as well as it had to be started with jumper cable.
2019 Honda Odyssey purchased new and one owner. Vehicle's VIN didn't fall under Honda TSB # 21-010 despite vehicle suffered a known defect pattern so Honda denied assistance soley due to VIN exclusion. Sequence: emissions system warning, P0420, injector failure diagnosis, consequential catalyst failure after injector malfunction.
Car did it’s normal automatic shut off while stopped at red light but then did not automatically restart when I took my foot off the brake. I couldn’t get it to start or turn off. I was just sitting with a dead car in the middle of traffic. It was still on but totally unresponsive! I called 911 but before they arrived I managed to get the car to turn off and then restart. ??
The vehicle is showing persistent electrical and communication fault codes involving the ECM, ABS, and EPS systems, including P16E2, P16E5, P16E7, P16E8, U0401, and U0416. These codes return immediately, which suggests an active fault rather than a temporary low-voltage condition. The issue appears to involve the battery sensor and/or the related communication network between control modules. Because the faults involve ABS and EPS communication, the concern is that braking-related or steering-assist systems may not be receiving correct data. This creates a potential safety risk because the vehicle may experience intermittent or unreliable control-module communication, which could affect steering assist, braking-related warnings, or overall drivability. The warning lights and diagnostic codes first appeared before the vehicle was put back into normal use and have continued to remain present. The problem has been reproducible because the codes reappear right away after being cleared. No dealer or manufacturer diagnosis has been confirmed yet, so the exact root cause remains unresolved.
The contact stated while the contact's husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed, however the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact noticed an abnormal knocking sound. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact's husband attempted to start the vehicle, the vehicle did restart. The failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the abnormal knocking sound became louder and persistent. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed engine. In addition, the contact was informed that metal shavings were noticed in the oil pan. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced a recall, NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however the contact's VIN was not associated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
I was driving at normal speed on XXX XXX parkway getting on to the XXX crossing, when I drove over a pothole. The passenger side curtain airbag suddenly deployed even though there was no collision. I had a [XXX] sitting in a car seat in the second row passenger side as well as another child in the third row who thank God weren't hurt. Had the airbags deployed directly on them they would have gotten hurt. My family was absolutely terrified and took a long time to calm down. I couldn't find a safe place to pull over and proceeded to the next exit which was luckily only a few hundred feet away. Visibility on the passenger side of the car was completely blocked and it was challenging to drive safely to a safe place where I can pull over. This is the exact failure described in Honda recall campaign UNW, which acknowledges incorrect SRS ECU deployment parameters causing inadvertent curtain airbag deployment from road impacts. I called the Honda recall center and they verbally committed to repairing it completely and told me to bring it to a dealership. I brought the car to Honda Universe at 1085 Ocean Ave, Lakewood NJ, an authorized Honda dealer that said they would not perform the repair unless Honda corporate sends written authorization to pay for it. I called corporate back and was told a case manager needs to be assigned within 48 hours, a process they had not previously mentioned. I am currently left with a car with deployed airbags with no approval and with no timeline provided as well as no loaner or rental vehicle offered. There were no SRS lights or indication of any issue with this system prior to this incident. The component is available for inspection at the dealer. No accident or collision occurred. The airbag deployment was caused solely by a road impact triggering the defective SRS software that Honda has acknowledged and recalled.

- While stopped at a stoplight, my family and I heard a loud bang from the rear of the vehicle. The rear was visibly sagging after this. I verified with my mechanic that the driver's side rear spring coil had broken. - A broken rear spring makes the vehicle more apt for rollover when stopping quickly and puts more strain on the shocks. Not safe to drive. - Not confirmed by the dealer as I was unwilling to pay $200 for a "diagnostic". Anyone with mechanical knowledge could tell there was a rear suspension problem, and my mechanic visually verified it on a lift free of charge. - No warning lamps or inspection beyond my mechanic.
I was in a single vehicle car accident on Monday May 4th 2026 right at 6am central standard time. My 2019 honda odyssey has been totaled out by Insurance. Primarily all of the damages were on the front driver side, the air bags on both the steering wheel and under the steering wheel deployed but the side curtain airbag didn't not, and honda link also wasn't able to connect to emergency services once a crash was detected. The side curtain air bag not deploying has been pointed out and brought to my attention by almost every single person who has seen my vehicle since the accident. During the accident I swerved to avoid an animal that was running across the road and I over corrected and loss control and in a complete panic it has been assumed by everyone including myself that I accidently pressed the accelerator pedal instead of the brake.
When those error codes appear, those safety features become unavailable during driving. These error usually come up when I just start the car.
this is the second time that the tail lift gate electric module became defective because of water pentation from some roof water seal
Speakers, even if the audio is off, will produce a static sound, leading the center console to display a 'connection lost' message before going completely black. Screen will reconnect only when the vehicle has been restarted. Rear back up camera is affected by this as well by not working when the screen has lost network connection. Seems to be a FAKRA issue.
2019 Honda Odyssey began having intermittent display, that progressed to constant display, of multiple warning messages regarding safety features related to multiocular/multipurpose camera unit. Vehicle is unable to perform LKAS, ACC, lane departure assist, autobraking, etc. Honda dealership states this is a well known issue related to a faulty camera that has to be replaced to utilize these safety features. Without replacement, the vehicle display is overtaken by a recurring onslaught of warning messages making instrument panel difficult to view. The specific part is listed as "2019 Honda Odyssey - Camera Assembly Monocular (Rewritable) - Honda (36160-THR-A11)" and the error code is U3000-49.
Engine failure. Not available for inspection. Engine replaced and damaged engine return for core charge. While driving on the highway, without any for warning, engine stalled, loss of power and dash read “emissions system problem “. Vehicle was towed to Honda of Denton for diagnostic testing. The engine stalling and loss of power at highway speeds caused a great risk for my family in the van. We impeded traffic and could have caused an accident. There were no warning lights and/or engine system issues leading up to the engine failure. Honda stated that it’s is a common issue with the internal engine bearing failure. They also confirmed that my VIN is not listed on the recall list for the 2 million engines effected. Honda quoted a LKQ engine replacement. Declined and had replacement done at Caliber Collison.
On May 2nd, we drove our 2019 Honda Odyssey XL-E to church, and as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, we started to see smoke coming from our front hood. We exited the car. Within 30 seconds, the car then went into flames, and exploded and the car is now unsalvageable. When I went online, it seems like this is a common occurrence with these Honda Odysseys. There were no warming lamps, messages, or lights that would have alerted me that something this serious would occur. We have taken our care to Honda for years for regular maintenance. We don't take it to any independent shops. Strictly to Honda for years. The most recent checkup/service was performed on February 11, 2026 where they performed the following services which they had recommended. 1) Oil Change 2)Engine coolant flush with conditioner 3)Transmission fluid change: 4) wheel alignment 5)Fuel tank additive, throttle body service, and injector. This is serious safety event and our family and children could have been killed in this accident. We have pictures, videos, police report, and the car has been taken to a salvage yard. We have filed a claim with State Farm.
ADAS system, camera behind windshield. Multiple safety systems malfunctioning Honda sense with all ADAS safety features are not working and risk the emergency braking system to engage without reason. Caliber Collison and Protech have diagnosed and confirmed the problem. Honda service has confirmed no recall no warranty coverage. Quoted 2500 to fix No prior warning lights or messages. Multiple dash lights occurred suddenly and never went away.
The vehicle was in reverse and started to accelerate uncontrollably in reverse. The car came to a stop after hitting a wall and a car. The uncontrolled acceleration happened when we went about 1 foot onto grass while in reverse. The emissions light was going on and off from time to time. We believe it was inspected by a honda dealership at some point. The vehicle is involved with insurance at this point.
I own a 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite with 39,000 miles on it. In January 2026, suddenly I had multiple warning lights on in my minivan related to an ADAS system failure. I replaced the car battery and later determined that the ADAS camera had failed in the car. In reading online, this is a very common issue with Hondas as the cameras are known to overheat and require replacement. Warning lights: Brake System Malfunction, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Auto High Beam Problem Before I was able to get it repaired, the van turned off suddenly in traffic twice while my wife was driving the car while also one of my children was inside, creating an unsafe condition that could have created an accident. Luckily my wife was able to get the car safely moved out of traffic and we stopped driving the car at that point. I wound up replacing the camera and and needing to get it recalibrated so that the car could be drivable. This resulted in the van not being operable for nearly a month. For a car that had 39,000 miles on it, this really should be something under a longer warranty as it could have created an unsafe driving condition for my family. Total cost to repair = $1634.22.
Several complaints can be seen across many different Honda forums that indicate several years including 2018 - 2023 of the Honda Odyssey are affected by similar issues when the front multi-purpose camera fails. Many have reported extreme heat when physically inspecting the camera unit. The ZYNQ XA72030 chip manufacturer, AMD, has listed known issues with this particular chip overheating either due to inadequate cooling (this is a passively cooled chip), poor PCB layout, unstable or undersized power supply, all which can result in thermal shutdown. At startup my vehicle dash immediately lit up with several Warning indicating the disablement of multiple systems: LKAS, EBA, ACC, Collision Mitigation, Lane Departure, Automatic High-Beam. In my case, physical inspection revealed the camera outer shell to be extremely hot to the touch necessitating a rag to reduce risk of burn while handling. It's interesting to see that Honda has issues a recall for the back camera which is not tied to many or any other systems at all due to a faulty cable, yet the front facing camera which directly affects Lane Keep Assist, Emergency Brake Assist, Collision Mitigation, Lane Departure Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Automatic High-Beam, has not received a recall despite the many complaints brought forth. It is clearly a defective component that affects many other systems which can lead to potential crashes under the right circumstances. I would urge Honda to issue a recall for all Odysseys experiencing multiple systems failure due to a defective multi-purpose camera.
I am writing to open a formal complaint regarding a serious transmission defect in my 2019 Honda Odyssey (VIN: [XXX] ). My vehicle is currently exhibiting symptoms that directly match the 'Transmission Programming Defect' documented in ongoing litigation, specifically symptoms: while accelerating produce rough and delayed shifting; sudden jerking, sudden, harsh accelerations and decelerations; and a sudden loss of power. I am aware of Case No.XXX (XXX v. American Honda Motor Co.) and Case No. XXX (XXX v. American Honda Motor Co.), which allege that the 9-speed ZF 9HP transmission in my model year suffers from a design defect. These transmission failures create a significant safety hazard. Recently my van report code as transmission system problem the second time. We got mechanic checked and confirmed it is transmission issue. The first time when it happened, we drove the van on highway and suddenly it lose power and slow down by itself. there was no response even we applied gas. We went down highway and drove to a close-by repair shop. they replaced some part for us but it didn't resolve the issue. This time since the error comes, it won't speed up in lower speed except the speed goes beyond 40-50 miles plus. when we back the car, it responses slow or none. it comes with big noise also now. it definitely gets worst. The very common issue when you stop and start to move, it never responses from the beginning even we applied gas, even the passenger can feel the reluctance. it also happens when the van turns. we also had the experience when driving on the highway, it speeded automatically without driver applied the gas. It feels like someone pushing us behind. there was Transmission Control Unit recall for 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey (Touring/Elite). Honda actually knows the issue but they didn't reveal this to their customer. This brings life threatening concerns on the highway. I hope this complaint can save lives and family INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The monocular camera in the windshield failed and multiple warnings are present. It has been well known by multiple consumers the camera fails more often in the 2018 - 2020 Honda Odyssey.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated and remained illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact believed that the failure was related to a sensor malfunction within the rearview camera. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000.
[Incident Description & Manufacturer's Bad Faith] On April 6, 2026, an authorized Honda dealership (McConnell Honda in Montgomery, AL) diagnosed my vehicle (2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L, 143,097 miles) with DTC P219A (Rec replacing fuel injector set and fuel feed pipe at this time), requiring a fuel injector replacement. This exact mechanical failure is documented in Honda’s official Service Bulletin 21-010. The bulletin acknowledges that defective fuel injectors can cause engine misfires, loss of motive power, and engine stalling while driving. These conditions present an immediate and severe safety hazard. Honda established a 150,000-mile warranty extension limit for this defect in TSB 21-010. My vehicle has 143,097 miles and is well within this limit. However, American Honda Corporation has arbitrarily refused to repair the vehicle. Furthermore, on April 21, 2026, the assigned Honda Case Manager left a voicemail officially denying the repair. He explicitly refused my repeated requests to provide this denial in writing. In the voicemail, he falsely stated that my vehicle at 143,000 miles is "well outside the range" for assistance, directly contradicting Honda's own written 150,000-mile bulletin. Please review the attached documents, including the official dealership diagnostic report (DTC P219A), the repair estimate, and a copy of TSB 21-010. I have also secured the audio recording of the case manager's voicemail to prove their bad faith. Honda is knowingly leaving a dangerous vehicle with a confirmed, documented fuel system defect on the road, while actively providing false information to the consumer to avoid repair costs. I strongly request the NHTSA to investigate Honda's deceptive and dangerous practice.
Issue: Intermittent infotainment failure – MOST network connection lost I am reporting a recurring electrical failure involving the infotainment system in my 2019 Honda Odyssey. The system intermittently loses all audio and displays a “MOST network connection lost” message. At times, the screen also goes black and reboots. This issue has occurred repeatedly over time, especially after extended driving (e.g., long trips). The audio will stop working completely, and the system may or may not recover after restarting the vehicle. Multiple repair attempts have been made, including replacement rear entertainment system. Despite these repairs, the issue continues to occur. Based on the error message and symptoms, this appears to be a failure within the MOST communication network, potentially involving the amplifier or related components. This creates a significant distraction while driving, as the system becomes nonfunctional and unpredictable. I am unable to access hands free phone capability and navigation features. I am also unable to access the heating and cooling features in the car when the screen is black. This has been happening since about one week after I purchased the vehicle in 2021. I am concerned that this may represent a broader defect affecting multiple vehicles.
On April 13, 2026, I brought my 2019 Honda Odyssey to a Honda dealership in Chicago, IL for a dealer-initiated recall service. The dealer contacted me and asked me to come in. Before the recall service, the vehicle had zero warning lights, zero error codes, and was operating completely normally. Immediately after the recall service was completed, the following warning lights appeared on the dashboard: Brake System warning, Hill Start Assist Problem, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) warning, and additional stability/steering system warnings. None of these warnings existed before the service. I returned to the dealership the same day. The service team cleared all error codes. However, within minutes of driving off the lot, all warning lights reappeared. This confirms the issue is persistent and not a one-time post-update self-check. I returned a second time. The service manager stated the warnings were not caused by the recall service and refused to investigate further. The dealer quoted 800 for diagnostic work. I also contacted American Honda by phone and was told they could not intervene. With the Brake System and VSA warnings active, the anti-lock braking system and vehicle stability control may not be functioning properly. This puts me and other drivers at risk, especially in emergency braking situations and on slippery roads. This pattern of multiple safety warnings appearing immediately after recall service on 2019 Honda Odysseys has been reported by other owners. The vehicle and its warning lights are available for inspection upon request.
My car issues a emissions systems problem, upon bringing it to the dealer it was identified that the fuel injector system failed. This is a known issue with 2019 Honda Odysseys. Upon running the VIN on my vehicle, it was found it does not qualify under the extended warranty even though this is a known issue.
Since January 15, 2026, our Honda Odyssey has experienced a persistent and unresolved infotainment system failure affecting critical functions, including the rear-view camera. The issue has been reported across three separate service visits (January 15, March 6, and March 26, 2026), during which attempted repairs—including wiring adjustments, battery replacement, and amplifier replacement—failed to resolve the malfunction. Despite escalating to a regional Honda engineer and multiple dealership interventions, the system remains inoperable, and the defect continues to immediately reoccur after each repair attempt. As of April 12, 2026, the vehicle’s infotainment system and rear-view camera are completely non-functional. The issue has persisted for 87 days, resulting in loss of use of key vehicle functions and raising significant safety concerns due to the inoperability of the federally mandated rearview camera (FMVSS 111). The repeated unsuccessful repair attempts and extended delay have led to the conclusion that the vehicle is currently unsafe to operate and has not been restored to a usable condition within a reasonable timeframe.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while stopped at a stop light, the Auto START/STOP feature malfunctioned, and the engine failed to immediately restart after depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. On one occasion, the engine failed to restart, and the vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with transmission control module failure. The contact was informed that the TCM needed to be replaced. The transmission control module was replaced, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed of NHTSA Action Number: EA25004 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the investigation. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.
2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L Trim Front ADAS Camera malfunctioned @ 43K mile. Lights all on, cannot use adaptive cruise control, all the safety function stop working include emergency auto braking.
My infotainment system has gone completely black, resulting in the loss of several critical functions, including the rearview camera, AC vent direction controls, navigation, and radio. This has made reversing significantly more hazardous, and the lack of proper AC control is especially inconvenient during the summer. The Honda dealer performed a recall-related diagnostic, but it did not resolve the issue. After further inspection, they concluded that the infotainment unit has completely failed. However, they were unable to identify the root cause and recommended a full replacement at a cost of $2,850. I contacted Honda America to request assistance or a goodwill discount, but my request was declined. Due to the high cost, I have not proceeded with the repair. Although my vehicle is not currently on the recall list and has approximately 70,000 miles, there is a known history of infotainment system issues in Honda vehicles. A complete failure of this unit at this stage is unexpected and potentially related with their manufacture, as it is generally intended to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Thank you for your consideration
I was driving to work on April 7th, 2026 and parked the vehicle at my company parking lot. Prior to parking, I noticed unusual smell and then parked the vehicle. I parked the vehicle around 8.10 am and I got the call from my facilities manager around 8.30-8.40 am that my car caught on fire and by that time I noticed Houston Fire Department extinguishing the fire. There were no check engine sign and this vehicle is a brand new vehicle when I purchased. Though there is no recall associated with my VIN #, the fire issue is similar to recalls for 2019 Honda Odysey. The recall numbers are 23V-751( Engine Fire Recall) & 20V-066 ( Electrical Wiring fire Recall)
Trunk is flooding when it rains.
My 2019 Honda Odessey has had transmission issues since the very beginning. I've experienced jerking/shaking, hesitation before accelerating, delayed shifting, sudden loss of power. Fortunately none of this has resulted in any accident or injury. Unfortunately, yesterday (4/4/2026) I got charged $271.34 to have to transmission warning light read only to be told, "we cleared all dtc then test drove the vehicle. No dtc found after we drove the car...if the consumer complain again he will have to replace the transmission." Of course the warning light appeared again today. The dealership seems to be completely unaware of the multitude of transmission issues documented even though this appears to be a known and well documented defect based on the class action lawsuit Browning, et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., et al. They charge me for the analysis and send me on my way as if they have no idea what is going on with my vehicle. I am the sole owner and have kept the vehicle well maintained at Leith Honda, 3940 Capital Hills Drive, Raleigh, NC 27616 and I have had all manufacturers recalls handled in a timely manner. I'm sure they can provide service records if needed. The bottom line is they are not being fully transparent and I am paying for their lack of transparency and more importantly putting me and my family at risk by not disclosing the potential risk due to the faulty transmission in these vehicles.
On Interstate 65 4/4/2026 during light traffic, after a rain storm, however with no rain currently occuring, our vehicle experienced an event where the collision avoidance system dropped out speed from 70 miles an hour to 35, nearly causing a rear end clission with a vehicle behind us. The dashboard made no indication of any occurance, and the breaking seemed to occur with no indicator of there being anyting in front of us at the time of the incident. This has occured before however after rainstorms, and while attempting to make left hand turns. This however was the first incident in which it clearly caused a near miss collision event.
Both power sliding doors are malfunctioning, with the left side being critical. The dashboard intermittently flashes "Door Open" and "Left Sliding Door Problem" warnings during travel, regardless of speed or road conditions (highway, low-speed, and cornering). A certified Honda technician (Case #16203079) confirmed DTC B2037 is stored for the left sliding door ratchet switch. The diagnostic report explicitly states the rear latch is failed/stuck in the open position, resulting in a half-latched state that "CAN OPEN WHILE DRIVING." The right door also shows intermittent issues with the ratchet switch and pinch sensor. Despite this documented, life-threatening safety defect, American Honda has refused repair assistance. I have video evidence of the warnings flashing while in motion.
I was merging onto I-85 with my sister was in the front passenger seat, and my son was behind me on the driver's side. I heard a very loud bang/pop and looked to my right and immediately saw the curtain airbag deploying on the passenger side. I did not feel anything to indicate I hit something, no noise, no beeping from my vehicle safety features, no shake of the steering wheel to indicate I veered off the road. Nothing of that nature. I was able to get to the shoulder of the highway safely, despite not being able to see out of the passenger side of the vehicle due to the deployed airbags. It was confusing and disorienting because I knew we were not involved in a crash, but the airbags still deployed. I called 911 and started assessing any injuries for my son or my sister. The police arrived a short time later and opened the front passenger door and immediately cut the airbag to assess the situation. The police officer said there was no visible damage to the van and no other vehicle nearby to indicate a collision. I asked if the tire blew and he said no, he couldn't see any damage. This was an incredibly dangerous situation that could have ended with serious injury or worse. We were traveling on an interstate and the airbag deployment could have injured me and prevented me from getting off the road. In addition, the airbag deployed right where my younger son's car seat is. He would have suffered serious injury had he been in the vehicle when this happened. The shop doing the repair ran computer diagnostic testing and I instructed them to keep all parts that are being replaced. The van has been inspected by a Honda body shop manager as well as an American Honda technician. There were no warning lights or indications before the airbag deployment.
I am reporting a safety issue involving my 2019 Honda Odyssey transmission. Since early ownership, the vehicle has had ongoing hesitation and delayed response when accelerating, especially during gear shifts. Over time, this condition has worsened and now includes intermittent loss of power when pressing the accelerator, followed by sudden jerking or lurching forward. The most serious incident occurred recently when the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into park while moving in a parking lot, creating a dangerous and unsafe condition. Additionally, there have been multiple instances where the vehicle hesitated in intersections, creating a risk of collision due to lack of response when attempting to accelerate. Honda dealership technicians have acknowledged that these vehicles are known to have rough or problematic shifting, indicating this may be a broader issue. The final issue has resulted in the vehicle being towed to the dealership for a full evaluation.
All Honda Sensing / ADAS safety warnings appear at the same time while driving or shortly after starting the vehicle. When this happens, all driver assistance systems are disabled, including: •Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) •Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS) •Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) •Road Departure Mitigation •Automatic High Beam When the failure occurs, the vehicle displays multiple safety system warnings and the entire driver assistance system shuts down, leaving the vehicle without any ADAS safety features.
Right slide door problem on dashboard. Continues to beep and blink right slide door problem while driving. The door will not open when stopped and in park.
All of a sudden, I received multiple warnings that the forward collision warning system, lane keeping assistance system, automatic emergency braking system, adaptic cruise control, were not working. After looking for this part (front camera: 36160-THR-A11-M1), I see that it is very expensive to purchase and install. More importantly, I have come to learn that this part is failing on my 2019 Odysseys. I feel that the manufacturer should be held responsible if this is such a widespread problem.
Multiple system problems constantly on my dashboard. Has brand new spark plugs and battery and problem is still there.
The rear portion of the vehicle is leaking water through the seams and cause major issues to the power tailgate control module. Water is infiltrating through either the seams of the trunk or side panels and right onto the module that controls the power tailgate. I’ve replaced the module at 95,000 miles, and now within 4000 miles is having the exact same issue. I can see water leaking inside right onto the electrical components that are behind the drivers side rear panel.
All the warning lights shows up in the dash and the problems are diferent like bad battery or front monocular camera and all the futures assistence stop working like automatic brake cruise control.. etc
Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar Internal Electronic Failure diagnosed with U3000-49 error code in my 2019 Honda Odyssey. The problem has been confirmed by the Honda service center and reason stated is low heat resistance. Coat of repair is approx $2000 and this is purely due to low heat tolerance levels of the Honda component
There is a plastic cap holding in a metal bar on the underside of the car seat that came off. The metal bar could potentially become a projectile. I’m unsure of the purpose of the metal bar. If it is for latching into the base, structure integrity, or seatbelt. The car seat has not been inspected by the manufacturer has requested it be shipped back and has provided a shipping label, however I have to acquire a new car seat to use in the meantime first and find a box that will accommodate the car seat. Normal everyday use caused the part to come off. I’m not sure at what time it happened or where the plastic cap is.
There is a delay in acceleration. When at stop light, stop sign, or moving forward after backing out of driveway, we are experiencing a 2-4 second delay in acceleration after putting pressure on the gas pedal. This has caused scary incidents when trying to turn left at stop lights or stop signs. When talking to Honda dealers, they have not been helpful in determining the cause of this.
Multiple safety systems on my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite have simultaneously failed, including LKAS, ACC, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Auto High-Beam Headlights, and other driver-assist features. The dashboard displays warnings for nearly every safety-related system, and the vehicle disables these features without warning. **Detailed Description of the Problem:** Whenever I start my vehicle, multiple error messages are displayed related to the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation, Auto Headlights, and other safety features. These warnings appear together and persist even after restarting the vehicle. Apparently, this issue is widespread among 2018–2020 Honda Odyssey owners, with many reporting the same cluster of system failures. The problem appears to be related to a malfunction in the vehicle’s electrical system, sensors/ cameras, or control modules. In my case, the failures occur without any external damage, weather event, or driver action that would explain the sudden loss of safety functionality. When these systems fail, the vehicle disables critical safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, and automatic headlights. This creates a significant safety risk, especially at highway speeds or in low‑visibility conditions. **Frequency:** The issue occurs whenever the vehicle is started, affecting my driving everyday.
Five days after getting back our car from the Honda dealership where they “fixed” the two recalls all warning lights came on and not turn off. Steering, breaking, accelerating all are difficult. There were no issues prior to the dealership “fixing” the recalls. The car was just at our mechanic for brakes and they check our engine, fluids etc every time. There were no prior issues.
The ACC is failing in the car. It is due to a faulty radar sensor located behind the rear view mirror that according to the dealership gets to hot it the sun and begins to deteriorate.
I was commuting home, about 30 minutes into the drive, all of the dashboard and radio went blank for a few seconds. It came back on and the break light, anit-collision, lane departure, lights were all flashing. It did this 2 more times in the over the next 5 minutes. I was concerned for my safety because I wasn't sure if my breaks and all the other things were working propoerly. I didn't know how fast I was going or if my car was going to stall on the highway. I see that a recall was issued by honda yesertday, not for my car model, but a similar issue (a software bug can cause the instrument panel and rear-view camera to go blank). It has not yet been inspected by a repair person. There wre not any warning lights prior to this happening.
I own a 2019 Honda Odyssey with approximately 100,000 miles. The power tailgate began malfunctioning suddenly. The rear hatch repeatedly unlatches and beeps as if it is opening even while the vehicle is in motion. After inspection, the dealership stated the tailgate control module failed due to water intrusion into the rear hatch area. I was told this is a known issue affecting multiple model years of Honda Odyssey vehicles (2018–2021), but there is currently no recall. This malfunction creates a potential safety hazard because the tailgate may unlatch unexpectedly while driving and causes continuous warning alarms and electrical issues. Owners are being required to pay for repairs caused by what appears to be a design defect allowing water to damage the tailgate module. I am requesting that this issue be investigated for a potential safety recall.
The front monocular camera assembly (Honda part number 36160-THR-A81) on my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite failed and is available for inspection upon request. When the failure occurs, the vehicle displays multiple warning messages including “Collision Mitigation System Problem,” “Adaptive Cruise Control Problem,” “Lane Keeping Assist Problem,” “Road Departure Mitigation System Problem,” and “Auto High Beam Problem.” As a result, several driver-assist safety systems are disabled, including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and road departure mitigation, which reduces the vehicle’s active safety features and increases the risk of a collision. The warnings appear simultaneously on the dashboard while driving and remain active until the vehicle is restarted. The condition has been reproduced multiple times and has been confirmed during diagnostic inspection by a service technician. The camera failures are very common and are a design defect. The design was changed in later years but there was not a recall for the 2019 models. This is a very expensive fix and should be covered by a recall.
Front camera failure in 2019 honda odyssey after only 5 years. Total system failure causing multiple warning lights and loss of full adas system
Multiple possibly related issues: 1) Power Lift gate (rear hatch) will on occasion close unexpectedly and can trap a person between the hatch and the back bumper of the car. Very dangerous for children and for handicap adults who cannot move quickly (I have had both have issues with mine). (Has consistently occurred since purchase, dealership refuses to acknowledge/correct issue when it was under warranty). 2) Random electrical problems (various sensors malfunctioning, sliding doors unable to open/close, power lift gate would not close/latch). Occurred twice (Jun 2023, Feb 2026).
While driving, the check engine light appeared and the vehicle began running rough and hesitating during acceleration. The engine experienced a noticeable loss of power, which created a dangerous situation in traffic and nearly caused an accident when attempting to accelerate with surrounding vehicles. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealership for diagnosis. The dealership confirmed a failed fuel injector on cylinder number four and a catalyst efficiency fault code (P0420). The dealership explained that the failed injector may have caused improper fuel delivery and contributed to damage to the catalytic converter. The dealer also indicated that similar fuel injector failures are addressed in Honda Service Bulletin 21-010 for this model year. However, my vehicle was not included in the VIN range covered by the bulletin even though it is a 2019 model and uses the same fuel injector part number referenced in the bulletin. The issue was confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership and the recommended repair was replacement of the fuel injector kit and catalytic converter. Honda corporate declined to fully cover the repair costs despite the similarity to the known issue described in the service bulletin. This engine malfunction created a loss of power while driving, which could present a safety hazard in traffic.
Both rear power sliding doors on my 2019 Honda Odyssey failed at approximately 74,000 miles. The sliding door motors can be heard running, but the doors do not move and cannot be opened normally. The doors are available for inspection upon request. This failure prevents rear passengers from safely exiting the vehicle. In an emergency situation, this could prevent evacuation and creates a serious safety risk, especially when transporting children or passengers seated in the rear. A dashboard warning message related to the sliding doors appeared at the time of failure. The condition occurs consistently on both doors. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Honda dealer, who confirmed a malfunction in the sliding door system and provided a repair estimate. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. This appears to be a significant sliding door system failure affecting both rear doors simultaneously.
Water is pooling in trunk of van. There appears to be a failed body weld or seam sealant in the trunk area. Vehicle has not been in any incidents since purchased new. Spoke to a service adviser for Honda and they indicated a seam sealant may have failed as well. Have searched internet and found this is occurring frequently with this model.
On 2/27/25 while driving my 2019 Honda Odyssey on the hwy the passenger side curtain airbags deployed after running over a pothole in the road. This frightened my wife and may it very difficult to see to pull over safely on the side of highway. There were no passengers in the car when it happened, no injuries or collision following g the deployment. We were very lucky. Police officer would not provide report because accident did not occur. Officer sated he had never seen airbag deployment cause by pot hole. My wife’s safety and the safety of others on the road that day were definitely at risk due to this unannounced airbag deployment. We did take to dealer and we were never given explanation of why it occurred. Damage caused by airbag deployment cost over $8,000 dollars in repairs and my wife still does not feel comfortable driving this vehicle. Now a year later we are experiencing electrical issues in the vehicle on the passenger side with power windows and locks. We feel that it is related to incident. Original Repairs were completed by dealer but they are now looking into electrical issues. There were no warnings or light prior to deployment.
Our 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L was our primary family vehicle. We conducted all routine maintenance as required by Honda, including transmission fluid exchange. Our vehicle experienced rough shifting consistently and at 102,000 miles experienced a total failure in the transmission dog clutch, with Emissions lighting also being present. Vehicle required a tow to Honda and was cited" internal failure in the transmission. The confirmed related DTC's are P0841: Transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch A circuit range/performance; P0844: Dog Clutch malfunction; P0170A: Dog Clutch Abnormal operation. Parts $:5,736.73/Labor $2,385 plus fluids and freight. We were not aware Honda used the ZF transmission during this year model and experiencing rough shifting up to 102,000 miles which prompted our investigation. Thankfully, the car was parked however, had this been while on the road, this would have presented a major safety and risk to our family and others. This has set our family back quite a bit as we have to replace the transmission and cannot guarantee the new one won't provide similar issues. Honda denied our good-will assistance request. We bought a Honda under the assumption it was a reliable brand. We will never buy Honda nor recommend again. Terrible experience.
The car has started giving warnings every time I turn it on (as of 6 months ago): adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, auto high beam problem, lane keeping assist problem. It seems there must be a fault in the windshield camera that renders all these safety features useless. The repair shop stated that windshield camera isn’t working and is a $2k or more to repair. I am now driving a minivan that doesn’t have many important safety features and this is very dangerous.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey is currently diagnosed with a connecting rod bearing failure, which matches the safety defect in NHTSA Recall 23V-751. While my VIN is excluded, I am reporting this as part of the NHTSA Investigation PE25-008. For several months leading up to the failure, I noticed a faint, repetitive knocking sound coming from under the hood. During my regular service visits to authorized Honda dealerships (including a visit in December 2025 at approximately 80,000 miles), I mentioned these unusual noises and asked the technicians to verify the vehicle's safety. On at least one occasion, repairs were made to the steering system to address noises, but the engine knocking persisted and eventually worsened until the rod bearing failure was confirmed in January 2026. This defect presents a serious risk of sudden engine seizure and loss of motive power at highway speeds.
"Emissions system problem" engine warning light has been on for quite some time. I know there is a service bulletin related to this issue, but my VIN is not covered. There are also several other warning lights that occasionally pop up, and my Honda dealer believes these are all related to the initial warning light. They mentioned that sometimes these systems start shutting down so the vehicle runs properly. Recently I received "transmission system prolem" (in conjunction with the slew of warning lights I have frequently been getting). No apparent issues until recently when I was driving on the interstate. The engine started to become very loud and when I looked at the RPMs it was very high, over 5,000 RPMs. The car wasn't shifting out of first gear at 55MPH. I immediately slowed down and got off the interstate as soon as possible. After arriving home, we unhooked the battery, re-installed, and all of the warning lights were gone. Again, the Honda dealer believes all of these issues were realted to the "emissions system problem", which is part of a service bulletin that should be covered by warranty extension. I beleive my VIN should be included, and the recent transmission system problem which happened on the interstate was very dangerous and could have ended very badly, had I not been in tune with what was happening.
The driver-side power sliding door latch, motor and cable system on my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite failed. Honda performed Recall A88 (sliding door handle cable repair) in 2021. After this repair the door began intermittently failing to close fully and would close about 80% before the sensor triggered it to reopen. This continued until this week when the door suddenly stopped latching completely. The automatic door buttons no longer work and the door can only be moved manually. I believe my vehicle should also be included in recalls Z33 and O36 addressing sliding door latch failures affecting similar 2019 Odyssey vehicles. The failed components are available for inspection upon request. This defect creates a serious passenger safety hazard. Because the door will not latch, it opens while driving. The automatic function does not work and the door can be moved manually but will not latch. This creates risk of passenger ejection, especially children, and the possibility of the door opening during a crash. The vehicle is unsafe to operate. Yes. The failure was reproduced and confirmed by a Honda dealership that inspected and diagnosed the sliding door failure. The vehicle was inspected by a Honda dealership and I was charged a diagnostic fee. Honda refused recall or goodwill coverage because my VIN is not included. I request the repair be performed free under recalls Z33 and O36 and the diagnostic fee reimbursed. I am waiting for NHTSA inspection and request Honda be required to include my vehicle and repair it at no cost. Before total failure the door would close about 80% and automatically reopen. When it stopped working this week, the dashboard displayed a “Left Sliding Door Problem” warning and the vehicle produced continuous beeping while driving.
Reporting a failure of Safety Recall 23-046 / NHTSA Campaign 23V431000 on US vehicle. Post-recall 'remedy,' the vehicle suffers with the same MOST Network error and from severe parasitic battery drain as described in Honda Service Bulletin 23-061. This led to a total electrical failure and vehicle grounding in -24°C temperatures. This systemic MOST Bus network defect was previously the subject of the Conti v. American Honda (2:19-cv-02160) settlement. The vehicle is currently grounded at a dealership in Canada, and Honda Canada refuses to acknowledge the failure of the recall remedy or the resulting consequential damages (battery/starter failure). I am filing this to report an ineffective recall remedy on a US-certified vehicle. I have tried establishing contact with Honda US however there has been no response from them
The fuel injectors emaeem to be malfunctioning and the OBD for emissions is lighting up. It has been inspected by the dealer and confirmed it needs to be replaced. The OBD code is P219A and this causes misfire and potential stalling of the vehicle. Honda has issued several TSBs but none have my VIN. Some of the TSBs are TSB A18-025, TSB A21-010 and TSB ONLN9403292021. It has been inspected by Honda dealer and confirmed to be a issue but no action unless I pay them a lot of money. I would like to see if NHTSA can help to add my vin number to the list or help me get Honda to repair my vehicle.
The sunroof/moon roof glass suddenly popped and exploded. No debris of any kind or any car was near me. My car was alone. The roof spontaneously made a “pop” sound and exploded. I’m lucky I wasn’t killed, injured, or in an accident. Glass that explodes and shatters can cause serious harm.There is obviously some sort of defect in Honda’s sunroof glass. Please investigate this thoroughly.
I went to my van, and many alerts were going off on the dash about multiple systems failing and not working. I got the van to the dealer who said it was the fuel injectors that needed replaced. I found a service bulletin about this saying American Honda is extending the warranty on the fuel injection repairs to 10 years from the original date of purchase or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. The dealer said there was not a recall on my vin and there was nothing they could do and I was forced to pay for the repairs.

Vehicle intermittently loses propulsion during acceleration when merging. Engine RPM remains low despite throttle input. After a delay, transmission re-engages abruptly with a metallic scraping noise. This creates unsafe merging conditions. This happened today, 2/14/2026 in 4 instances in the same trip. It has also occurred approximately 50 other times over the past six months when the mileage was as low as 66,100 miles.
Front camera appears to have gone out in 2025. All safety features inoperable and constant flashing of warnings making it impossible to determine if anything is actually wrong. Collision mitigation failure, blind spot failure, transmission failure, brake system failure, blind spot. Those control etc. Honda has confirmed its issue with front camera.
Failure of camera unit leading to all safety systems requiring it becoming non operative. Well known issue and widely reported.
The computer system for the sliding doors and back hatch do not work properly. They will occasionally stop working or will stop mid-open or close. In addition, on three separate occasions the sensors did not work. One time the back hatch started to close while I was getting something out of the trunk. It did not sense by body and would not stop. I tried to stop it physically but the hatch continued to close. If I had not gotten out of the way, it would have crushed me. This happened to my husband on a separate occasion as well. He is athletic - [XXX} and [XXX] and was pushing up with all of his strength and the hatch continued to close on him before he had to jump out of the way. On the third occasion - the sliding side door started to close on my [XXX] as I was helping him into his car seat. This issue WILL KILL SOMEONE. The 2019 Honda Odysseys need to be recalled immediately. I alerted my local Honda service center (Don Jacobs in Lexington, Ky). I asked them to notify Honda and they told me they wouldn't do that unless more people had similar issues. They have attempted to fix the computer system on several occasions and always say the issue is fixed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My driver sliding door will not open or close manually or automatically. This is concerning because if I was to ever get in a wreck and my van was struck on the passenger side, we wouldn’t be able to get out of the car because the other door won’t open. I did see that 107,000 vehicles were recalled due to this same problem I’m having. Obviously looking online, this is affecting more than 107,000… I already had to fix my passenger sliding door due to a faulty sensor. What next?
My 2019 Honda Odyssey had an emissions code come up with OBD II sensor code of P219A which led to research revealing that the code was a result of fuel injector failure. I took my van to the dealer who revealed that based on my VIN, I am not eligible for the extended warranty issued by Honda in 2021. This has resulted in a $1900.00 repair bill that should be covered based on history and problems. ref: [XXX] and [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
**Vehicle:** 2019 Honda Odyssey **Components Affected:** Forward Collision Avoidance, Lane Departure, Adaptive Cruise Control, Braking System, Exterior Lighting, Electrical System, Instrument Cluster **Complaint Summary:** Multiple safety systems on my 2019 Honda Odyssey have simultaneously failed, including LKAS, ACC, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Auto High-Beam Headlights, and other driver-assist features. The dashboard displays warnings for nearly every safety-related system, and the vehicle disables these features without warning. **Detailed Description of the Problem:** Whenever I start my vehicle, multiple error messages are displayed related to the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation, Auto Headlights, and other safety features. These warnings appear together and persist even after restarting the vehicle. Apparently, this issue is widespread among 2018–2020 Honda Odyssey owners, with many reporting the same cluster of system failures. The problem appears to be related to a malfunction in the vehicle’s electrical system, sensors, or control modules. In my case, the failures occur without any external damage, weather event, or driver action that would explain the sudden loss of safety functionality. When these systems fail, the vehicle disables critical safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, and automatic headlights. This creates a significant safety risk, especially at highway speeds or in low‑visibility conditions. **Frequency:** The issue occurs whenever the vehicle is started, affecting my driving everyday.
The front camera that is responsible for ADAS suddenly died and it is very vurnerable to heat. The unit gets very hot and it gets hot quickly. The lifespan of the unit is very short and the dealer is asking for $2000 to replace it like they have seen this pretty often.
As I was driving the car computer showed overheating, brake failure, transmission failure and the car started shaking and the engine died. I had the car towed by triple AAA to a auto repair shop, but the next day when they went to fix the problem could not replicate it.
The transmission in my 2019 Honda Odyssey failed prematurely at approximately 102,800 miles, requiring a full transmission repair/replacement. Prior to failure, the vehicle exhibited known warning symptoms including harsh and erratic shifting, hesitation, delayed engagement, and loss of smooth acceleration. These symptoms progressively worsened and ultimately resulted in unsafe drivability. This failure is consistent with a well-documented pattern of transmission defects affecting 2018–2019 Honda Odyssey models. Numerous owners have reported similar issues through NHTSA complaints and Honda service channels. A transmission failure at this mileage is not consistent with reasonable consumer expectations for a modern vehicle and presents a safety concern due to unpredictable shifting behavior, hesitation during acceleration, and loss of drivability. These issues increase the risk of collision, particularly when merging, accelerating from stops, or driving in traffic. Honda has declined assistance solely on the basis that the vehicle is outside the powertrain warranty, despite the failure aligning with known defect patterns rather than normal wear and tear. I am submitting this complaint to document a recurring defect and request further investigation into premature transmission failures in this model year. After receiving a replacement transmission in my 2019 Honda Odyssey, the vehicle continues to experience the same failure symptoms: harsh shifting, delayed engagement, and intermittent slipping. These ongoing issues indicate that the replacement transmission did not fully correct the underlying defect, which is consistent with other complaints submitted to NHTSA regarding 2018–2019 Odyssey models. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this recurring defect and track the persistent issues associated with replacement transmissions in this model year.
The 2019 Honda Odyssey experienced an engine failure while driving on the highway in the Chicago area in Illinois. The engine began knocking, then failed completely. It was towed to a local Honda dealer, where the technician noted visible metallic flecks in the oil once drained. No check engine or other warnings occurred prior to the failure.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly entered LIMP Mode, and the check engine warning light started flashing. The vehicle was able to restart following the failure. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the connecting rods had failed. The contact was informed that the connecting rods needed to be replaced, or the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 54,970 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 254,970.
While Driving Pressing on the gas pedal I got a minute of no acceleration, it felt like the van stopped on me, and then I start pressing on the gas pedal harder but nothing happens and then it shoots forward like a jet, this happened a few times, very dangerous, could have got hit from behind from oncoming traffic behind me since the van just slowed down so much, then shooting forward was also scary. I did take it to a mechanic in the past and they couldnt figiure out what was wrong. the transmission light went on last week and the van didnt drive, I had to tow it to two different mechanics, both letting me know that I had to replace the transmission on my van, this is only a 2019 and only has 74,000 miles on it, this shouldnt happen.
Life-Threatening Acceleration Lag: The vehicle is experiencing severe power loss during critical driving moments, for example, while entering intersections or attempting to re-accelerate into moving traffic. When I attempt to speed up, the engine fails to respond initially, leaving the vehicle stranded in the path of cross-traffic. The engine finally engages only because I am forced to floor the accelerator pedal out of necessity, which then causes the tires to squeal when power eventually returns. Intermittent Starting Issues: The vehicle frequently fails to start smoothly on the first attempt; a known symptom associated with the fuel pump impeller deformation described in Recall 23V-858. VCM Shudder and Hesitation: I am experiencing the distinct vibration and rhythmic shudder associated with the Variable Cylinder Management system. This symptom is most prominent during deceleration or coasting; specifically, when I lift my foot off the accelerator without applying the brakes, the system triggers a noticeable shudder as it incorrectly manages cylinder engagement/deactivation. Suspected Catalytic Failure (Codes P0420/P0430): Both catalytic converters are exhibiting inefficiency codes simultaneously, which are highly atypical and occur well before the expected component lifespan. This clearly points to upstream defects. Specifically, the catalytic substrate has been poisoned by carbon and phosphorus deposits from the documented oil-burning defect and has suffered thermal damage due to the improper fuel mixtures caused by the defective high-pressure fuel pump (Recall 23V-858).
I am submitting this complaint to report a serious and recurring safety issue with my Honda Odyssey involving the camera system. Multiple warning messages and fault codes appeared on the dashboard simultaneously, including: -Collision Mitigation System Problem -Adaptive Cruise Control Problem -Lane Keep Assist Problem -Auto High Beam Problem These systems are all disabled. This failure occurred without warning and immediately compromised several critical driver-assistance and safety features. We have serviced at Honda dealerships and they said the only fix is a new $1500 camera (but the camera still works). Despite this, no recall has been issued. We have owned Honda vehicles for decades and never had these type of issues. A recall needs to be announced and owners allowed a fix at no charge. The transmission warning lights are also coming on intermittently and we paid to have Honda diagnose. The transmission is fine they said. Please help.
Warning lights stay on for: Adaptive cruise control problem (ACC); Auto high-beam problem (A); Road departure mitigation system problem; collision mitigation system problem; lane keeping assist problem (LKAS); brake system lights. Lights will not clear. Dealership diagnosed for replacing monocular camera on front windshield/mirror. Gary Smith Honda replacement cost $2364 on 20Jan2026.
Improper seal on the seam (?) above let water leak into my power tailgate control module. It caused all the dash lights to sporadically rapidly flash, told me I have a transmission problem and my blind spot warning didn’t work right. Pulled out the tailgate module to find water in the module with a failed circuit board. Also wires leading into the module were wet
Transmission stops producing power and has delayed acceleration. Almost caused an accident and possibly fatalities.
Service engine light has been lit up and it says “emissions system problem”. I have had it tested at the shop and it states code P219A (air-fuel ratio variation of cylinder [bank 1, rear bank) which I am told has a warranty extension from Honda for 10 years or 150k miles. I am told my VIN does not quality. If other 2019 Odyssey’s have the same issue and qualify, why doesn’t mine? The fuel injectors are clogging and failing way too early for 66k miles. This has been going on for around 6 months Safety concerns - Potential engine failure, reduced performance, and increased emissions
Sensor issue that is causing safety concerns with cruise control, lane keep assistance. Forward collision issue, etc.
The problem with this vehicle is what I believe to be the transmission. When the car accelerates there is a delayed effect. The car jerks or unexpectedly accelerates while driving. Our safety has been compromised because of this issue. It’s random when these things happen. I’ve taken it the to dealership and they have said they found nothing wrong. There are no lights that come up.
The vehicle experienced a sudden internal transmission failure (power train). While driving, the vehicle began making grinding noises during acceleration and lost propulsion. The vehicle then displayed multiple warning indicators, including a transmission warning and a blinking electric parking brake indicator. After stopping, the vehicle would not engage Drive and became inoperable, requiring towing. The transmission remains available for inspection at the dealership. This failure created a safety risk due to loss of propulsion and inability to move the vehicle under its own power, including the risk of being stranded in traffic or unable to safely clear a roadway. The problem was confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership, which diagnosed an internal transmission failure and recommended full transmission replacement. No prior transmission repairs had been performed by outside shops. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Honda dealership. The manufacturer has not physically inspected the vehicle beyond dealership diagnosis. Warning symptoms included intermittent grinding during acceleration and loss of power shortly before complete failure. Warning messages and indicators appeared at the time of failure.
Hello - On [XXX], while travelling to visit family for the Christmas Holiday, a warning about a transmission system error came on. We pulled over, check fluids, looked the vehicle over, added approved coolant which appeared a little low. When we started our van, all the lights were off, and we were able to reach our destination without incident. On [XXX], all fluids were checked prior to leaving to return home and we began our journey home. About 20 minutes out from our destination, our transmission warning light came on once again. We were able to make it home. We contacted the dealership and dropped it off immediately on Monday morning only to find out that the transmission needed to be completely replaced. We obtained a second opinion with a local transmission shop who then proceeded to tell us that this was a known issue with this year of Honda Transmissions and that there are some well documented issues with this particular transmission and that this was unfortunately not the first case they had seen. We purchased our 2019 Honda Odyssey from O'Daniel Honda in Omaha, Nebraska through the Costco Auto Program in August 2019. We have regularly maintenance done on this vehicle as recommended at another local dealership closer to our home. At present time, my [XXX] Honda Odyssey with barely 100,000 miles on it now sits in a transmission shop awaiting a full transmission replacement. We bought this vehicle in the security and knowledge that it would be a solid, reliable vehicle for our growing family at the time with the reputation for exceeding 250,000 miles when properly maintained. For this transmission issue to be so well documented and known and for Honda to completely turn a blind eye to this and not stand behind their workmanship is absolutely appalling.

The driver side air bags went off while driving down a dirt road that has potholes
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while making a left turn, the accelerator pedal depressed to the floorboard, but the vehicle failed to respond. After releasing and then depressing the accelerator pedal several times, the vehicle responded. The contact stated that there were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
A MIL warning was displayed for Emissions System Problem flaging our vehicle for emissions testing and registration. The vehicle skips and does not accelerate well from 20-30mph making turns into a busy street unsafe. The computer reads a DTC of P219A. All of this matches the description in Honda Service Bulletin 21-010 which says it covers 2019 Odyssey of all trim levels. Local Honda dealer (Auto Nation Honda of Chandler in Chandler, AZ) and Honda America both refuse to extend this warenty to our vehicle for repairs. We took it to a third party Honda mechanic for a second opinion and they recommended we follow up on the Service Bulletin 21-010.
The impact on the car is we no longer have cruse control (basic feature) and every time we turn on the car we see many warning lights turn on. Some other feature that does not work is lane assist does not work. According to what shows up to on the dashboard there are problems for "road departure mitigation system Problem", "Auto high-beam problem", "Adaptive cruse control problem", "Lane keeping assist problem", "collision mitigation system problem", "break system", "left sliding door problem" A quick search on the web indicate this a common issue with Honda car (including Acura). [XXX] Another problem we're seeing is driver Side sliding door does not close correctly or open correctly. We have since stop using this door since it's very dangerous for our kids since while opening, it would not open all the way and close on the kids. similar issues [XXX] These two things are broken under 65000 miles and less than 6 years owning the car.

TAILGATE MALFUNCTION - unable to open and close tailgate. Warning message on dash states - TAILGATE POWER FAILURE
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at 25-30 MPH on an icy road surface, the vehicle spun uncontrollably and crashed into a tree on the side of the road. The air bags failed to deploy. There was no warning light illuminated before or after the crash. The police officers arrived at the scene, but it was unknown whether a police report was filed. An ambulance transported the contact to the hospital, where it was confirmed that no serious injury was sustained. The contact sustained body soreness and a bruise on the chest from the seat belt. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and then towed to an auto collision repair shop, where it was being repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V664000(Seat Belts, Air Bags). The manufacturer was contacted, but the contact only interacted with the automated system. The failure mileage was approximately 74,277.
The emissions warning comes on and off, the honda dealer said it's a fuel injection system issue. Noted that NHTSA has issued extended warranty for this issue on 2019 Honday Odysseys but my specific VIN is not included. NHTSA needs to extend this issue to additional VINS having this issue as Honda is not covering it.
When my car hit 40000 miles or so, I started getting all sorts of warning lights showing up when I turned my car on. Took my car in to Honda today, and they said upon checking it that the multifunction camera which is located behind the rear view mirror has stopped working. The car has 44,500 miles on it. It has been in no accidents. There seems to be no reason for such a part to just stop working (needing a $2500 repair to fix).
I am submitting this complaint to report a serious and recurring safety issue with my Honda Odyssey involving the front monocular camera system. After stopping for fuel and restarting the vehicle, multiple warning messages and fault codes appeared on the dashboard simultaneously, including: -Collision Mitigation System Problem -Adaptive Cruise Control Problem -Lane Keep Assist Problem -Auto High Beam Problem These systems are all disabled due to a failure of the front monocular camera. This failure occurred without warning and immediately compromised several critical driver-assistance and safety features. Based on my research and discussions with other Honda Odyssey owners, this is a known and widespread issue. Honda is aware that the front monocular camera is prone to failure, and numerous owners have reported identical symptoms and error codes. Despite this, no recall has been issued. The required repair involves replacement and recalibration of the front camera and carries an estimated cost of approximately $1,500, which places a significant financial burden on owners for what appears to be a known defect. More importantly, the sudden loss of collision mitigation, lane assist, and adaptive cruise control presents a clear safety concern, especially when drivers rely on these systems during normal operation. Given the safety implications and the number of reported cases, I believe this issue warrants further investigation and a formal recall by Honda. Owners should not be responsible for the cost of repairing a known defect that disables critical safety systems. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The side curtain airbags on the passenger side deployed spontaneously while driving at highway speeds. The explosion damaged the hearing of the driver and two children in the car. Fortunately, the driver was skilled enough to retain full control of the vehicle despite the deafening explosion, release of noxious fumes, and unexpected loss of side visibility.
I am getting a failing fuel injector that is not covered in Hondas openTSB. I am unsure how it was determined that only VIN are covered when it is the same engine for all 18 &19s. Honda is denying work but reporting because many others are having same problem and not covered on an odyssey forum. I believe it is an issue with more than the VINs in the extension. Recommending that NYSB collect data on all odyssey and see the failures
today ( Dec 30, 2025) . my wife was driving my HONDA ODYSSEY on Highway 287 east NJ ( closed to livingston NJ ) . Here is the whole thing : The ODYSSEY suddenly stopped while my wife was downshifting. At that time, there was a car in front of our car at least 30 feet away. Once the car stopped almost completely. Some red warning letters were shown on the front dashboard. But since we all filled in in a big panic, no one saw what those words were. At that time, we felt the minivan vibrating. That is all we could recall since we were still trying to calm down. I am not sure it was still the same problem with the transmission we reported months ago. That is the whole store for today. And I also attached the last note I sent to you. Hi , To whom it might concern, To further the conversation, we had talked with the local Honda dealer, and they had test-driven it several times, but they insist there are no problems at all. They suggested that we replace the transmission fluid to improve the performance. We replaced it in the dealer store. But from the fall of this year, 2025. We feel the odyssey has the same problems again : 1. The vehicle struggles to accelerate quickly when the accelerator is pressed. 2. The vehicle accelerates, but there is a noticeable jerking sensation. 3. After pressing the accelerator, the engine RPM increases significantly (the engine noise also grows louder), but the car itself does not accelerate immediately. It takes several seconds before any noticeable increase in speed occurs. I checked online I noticed that in some cases, some odysseys stop on the highway and cause some injuries, which is terribly I also sent a note to Honda USA, and I got a reply, but it is useless. I do not know what I can do. I saw there was some recall (due to the transmission) on Othe dyssey touring model and elite models, but I wonder if there is any recall on my Odyssey EX-L model.
Accelerator pedal becomes non-responsive while driving. Honda has addressed some of the affected vehicles.
Vehicle was driving normally down the highway then proceeded to shutdown without warning. Suddenly all of the trouble Lights appeared indicatinging engine, transmission, hill assist etc cut on without warning. The van would not drive above 55 mph when turned back on.
Fuel injector went out while driving known problem honda only recalled some of the vans not all
Our front camera on windshield failed at 96k miles, causing all lights to come on the dash. This resulted in all safety features failed and even basic cruise control doesnt work. Lots of Honda owners have same issues and the result is that it is a failed front camera which could cost around 2k to replace. There is no other way around it. It is found out that the camera could over heat leading to failure. This issue should be a recall because it is a safety concern. Could you please look into it? Thank you for your time.
While driving with my family, my vehicle experienced a sudden and total failure of the front-facing multi-purpose camera mounted behind the windshield. This component is the primary sensor for the Honda Sensing suite. The failure caused multiple critical safety systems to become inoperative simultaneously, including the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). These systems are essential for crash avoidance and driver assistance.
The camera in the front windshield went out. It has caused NONE of my safety features to work. Honda is charging $2,500 for the part and labor. It's ridiculous how many people are having the SAME issue. My van didn't even have 52,000 miles. Honda needs to fix this issue
Honda sensing stopped working and threw a bunch of errors about ACC, LKAS, Collision mitigation, auto high beam error, forward collision, lane keep. Apparently the camera had an internal fault without any prior warning. Also vehicle’s timing belt tensioner already deemed leaking at just 75,000 miles, well below the 100k replacement point, despite regular checks and maintenance at Honda dealers. Front suspension leaking, honda replaced only 1, and declined to replace both, as recommended by dealer mechanic. If i did not have honda care, i would be left with a very large repair bill for critical components of the drivability and safety of the vehicle. This is not acceptable.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the vehicle was purchased with a Salvage Title. The contact was informed by the seller that there was an unknown diagnostic trouble code for a misfire. The contact was informed that the failure was due to a failure with a fuel injector. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was pending repair from the prior owner. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
Front windshield camera just stopped working. Crazy.

On November 27, 2025, my 2019 Honda Odyssey experienced a sudden and catastrophic engine failure while traveling at highway speed. The vehicle had been serviced at an authorized Honda dealership the previous day (oil change and tire rotation), and the failure occurred approximately 55 miles after that service. While driving on the interstate, the engine abruptly lost power, expelled a large quantity of engine oil onto the roadway, and then caught fire in the engine compartment. The driver managed to pull over safely and extinguish the fire. This was a significant safety hazard to the driver, passengers, and surrounding motorists. The dealership later reported that the engine suffered internal mechanical failure involving broken connecting rods, which caused extensive engine damage and oil loss. I reviewed public information and discovered that certain Honda 3.5L V6 engines from similar model years have been recalled for internal engine defects that may lead to connecting-rod issues or catastrophic engine failure. However, my vehicle’s VIN is not currently included in those recalls, despite experiencing a similar failure pattern. This incident involved: Sudden loss of engine power at highway speed Immediate oil loss onto the roadway Engine compartment fire Risk of collision or injury Given the severity of the incident and the similarities to known recalls for related engine failures, I am submitting this report to request that NHTSA review this event as part of potential broader safety concerns involving this engine family. The underlying cause should be evaluated to determine whether a defect or pattern exists that could affect additional vehicles not currently included in recall campaigns. No injuries occurred, but the incident posed a serious risk to life and traffic safety.
Driver side sliding door will not open in freezing/cold temperatures. It tries to open, sometimes halfway and then closes. It also fails to latch sometimes when reclosing. This happened January 2025 and again December 2025. Dealer wants us to replace motor/cables and rear latch. Rear latch has been recalled on 2019 odysseys but they say our VIN is not included. This door has been problematic since purchasing vehicle.
The engine was the component that failed. While accelerating, I first noticed a slight knocking sound. At steady speeds the noise went away, but during the same drive it became progressively more frequent until it occurred under all driving conditions. When stopped at a light to make a left turn, the vehicle shut off immediately as soon as I released the brakes. There were no warning lights, diagnostic messages, or prior symptoms before the failure. Because the vehicle lost all power in the middle of a multi-lane intersection, my family and I were stranded in the roadway for approximately 1.5 hours until a tow truck arrived. The vehicle could not be moved out of traffic. After towing, a retired mechanic who operates his own shop inspected the vehicle. He performed a brief, approximately 15-minute preliminary evaluation and reported that the engine is seized. Based on his initial observation (without engine teardown), he believes the cause may be a failed crankshaft bearing, but this has not been confirmed. No dealer or manufacturer inspection has been performed. Insurance declined involvement because mechanical failure is not covered. No police report was filed.
2019 Honda Odyssey (VIN: [XXX] ) - Fuel injector failure at 51,000 miles, November 2025. Cost: $1,260. KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT: Honda Service Bulletins 20-100, 21-002, 22-002 acknowledge widespread fuel injector failures in 2018-2019 Odysseys caused by debris from manufacturing process. Honda extended warranty to 10 years/150,000 miles for certain VINs. My VIN excluded despite identical failure. EVIDENCE: (1) Same symptoms/codes as covered vehicles (2) Fuel pump replaced under recall same visit - proves manufacturing defects (3) Proper maintenance with receipts (4) Dealer admitted injectors shouldn't fail at this mileage (5) Hundreds of similar complaints online HONDA DENIED COVERAGE: American Honda denied goodwill because I don't have dealership service records. This makes no sense - manufacturing debris in injectors isn't caused by where you get oil changes. SAFETY ISSUE: Sudden power loss, multiple warning lights, stalling risk while driving. REQUEST: Investigate why Honda excludes certain VINs from warranty coverage for acknowledged manufacturing defect. Require expansion of coverage and reimbursement program. Pattern of defects (fuel pump recall + injector failure at 51k miles) indicates quality control problems. Thousands of owners affected.

Every time I accelerate while I am turning, the car stalls for a second or two. And often when I attempt to accelerate in general, such as when I first turn on the engine to begin driving, the car stalls. I took it to Honda twice, and was told "it's a known issue with these models"
Failed Part Information Front Camera - Honda (36160-THR-A11) Faulty camera inaccurately reads the surrounding objects, causing the car to hesitate and lurch when accelerating. It is not safe. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by a service center and the dealer Yes, the component has been inspected by the dealer and a service center No warnings prior to failure. The warning lamps and messages started when the component had already failed.
While driving down the road way the collision mitigation warning failure flashed and then pulled the steering wheel pulled me off the roadway and nearly caused me to crash.
Vehicle bought certified pre owned in April 2024 with Honda 182-Point checklist completed. In November 2025 owner experienced the second row driver side sear shifting forward and back approximately an inch easily while seemingly locked into place. Took vehicle to local Honda dealership for diagnosis. They said the LEFT MIDDLE SEAT FRAME has failed and the estimate for replacement is 2350.93. Could not get a definite straight answer as to the safety of this seat for our children.
On 11/28/2025, I turned into the Walmart parking lot in Kemah TX, came to the stop sign, turned right and the passenger side airbags deployed. The passenger side curtain wall and passenger seat air bag deployed. There was no warning, no impact, no wreck just a loud explosion sound. My daughter was sitting on the passenger side, had a loud ringing in her ear form the noise. I was unable to properly see to drive home.
Driving on the interstate with cruise control. All of a sudden the car braked (no one in front within eye shot) and cruise control stopped. I had to tap the brake manually then accelerator to get the car back under my control. Ever since then I get ACC, LKAS and other warnings when the car starts up. It seems like the front camera catastrophically failed while driving and almost caused the car to come to a complete stop on the interstate. It was very scary.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the warning light was intermittently illuminated, and the vehicle had started idling rough. The contact stated that the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The contact stated that upon scanning the vehicle with a vehicle scanner, the contact retrieved DTC: P219A for fuel injector failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was known to the manufacturer, who had issued TSB Number: 21-010; however, the vehicle was no longer covered under warranty. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
We bought this van new and twice since owning it-once in 2019 at 5,418 miles and this month (November 2025) at 136,947 miles-we have been driving down the interstate with a van full of people, when without any previous warning, suddenly multiple warning lights come on all at once (the check engine light, the transmission light, the vehicle stability assist light, among others-what I have been told in LIMP mode) and the van becomes difficult to drive. The engine revs and the multiple warnings keep flashing. It has been extremely dangerous to be going at interstate speeds and suddenly thrown into a driving status where our speed is crippled to a slow pace and trying to get to an exit or shoulder without causing an accident. We have had to have the van towed both times in order to get it to a dealer to have it looked at and fixed. Both times we have been told by 2 different Honda dealership service departments that it was the rocker arm oil pressure switch and the most recent time (2025) we were told they had to also replace the rear spool valve to make the error codes go away. The code P2652 was a code that had to be cleared both times with the repairs that they made. In Nov. 2025 the dealer scanned the vehicle and found codes p0301, p0302, p0303, p0306 cylinder 1 2 3 and 6 misfires. They found code p2652 rocker arm pressure switch to be stuck on. They checked the circuit and found the wiring to be ok. They replaced the rocker arm pressure switch and rear of cylinder head problem did not change. Oil levels were where they should have been. They removed the rear rocker bridge and rear spool valve to inspect the rear spool valve and found the rear spool valve to be sticking causing the vehicle to be in constant vps. They installed a new rear spool valve and cleared codes. We do not have the components to be inspected.
Suddenly, all the Lane Keeping Assistance, Auto Beam Headlights, Forward Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control came on. When I took it in for diagnosis, they claim that the Camera Assembly Monocular no longer works. From searching forums, it appears this is a known issue. This is a safety issue and should be recalled.
While driving on the interstate the engine rod blew causing the motor to blow up and sustain a hole. This was confirmed by a Honda dealership during a video inspection. Several lights on the dashboard showed up shortly before the motor expired.
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a serious engine failure on my 2019 Honda Odyssey, which experienced a rod bearing failure that has rendered the vehicle inoperable. This failure occurred despite the vehicle being properly maintained and driven under normal conditions. As a result of this engine failure, my Odyssey is currently parked and unusable, yet I am still required to make ongoing auto loan payments while I attempt to find a solution to cover the cost of repairs. This issue was first detected at 63,000 miles.
While parked on Saturday, 9 different warnings popped up including Fuel Emission Issue and Brake Issue. Tried to restart the car and failed. Came back later with a jump start kit assuming it was battery related. Car started up fine and drove it on the highway for 30 minutes. The 9 warnings were still present. Continued using the car on Sunday on 30 minute highway drive without issue. Monday morning noticed the warnings were gone. Continued use. Around noon the warnings came back and the car refused to start. Used a jump start kit to get the engine started, but it could only go about 10mph. Attempting to push the accelerator further would stutter the car. Managed to get it to a shop where they diagnosed the fuel pump motor had failed. They told me that the part was listed in a recall. I looked up the NHTSA number - 23V858000. However, my VIN was not included in the recall.
On random occasions all of the above warning lights come on. They will stay on for weeks at a time despite replacing the battery and following all reset protocol. It seems when weather is cooler, everything functions as it should and cam work fine for days and out of the blue will throw all the alerts again making lane assist, cruise control, and all departure assists not function. Because the system works sometimes and not others, the honda dealership doesnt believe it is an issue with the camera or sensor specifically because it would never work properly. It isnt an obstruction issues as I make it a point to regularly clean the sensor area on the grill and on the window where the camera is. A strange thing I notice is it seems 5o work better on days that are foggy or raining where youd think there would be obstruction. Its just been a whole distraction while driving. I would be content at this point just to have those options not function ever but keep the orange blinking annoying lights off that decide to work randomly with no reason or rhyme.
When trying to accelerate from slow/ stopped, the car struggles to get into gear. I have on numerous occasions been merging or getting onto another road from a stop sign and the vehicle will start to go just slightly and then stall before suddenly jumping into gear. It has caused me to stall in front of oncoming vehicles even though im careful to not go unless there is Noone within a long distance from me. I have taken it to the dealership and there are no codes for transmission or any other issues. Im not sure what the issue is but it is very unsettling.
The power sliding door on the driver’s side failed and will not open, even manually. The mechanism engages and stops after about an inch. This creates a significant safety risk because passengers cannot exit through the door in an emergency. This appears to be a widespread defect in 2018–2020 Honda Odyssey models. Repair cost is approximately $1,000. Honda needs to address this as a safety issue.
This vehicle is horrible and should be bought back by Honda. They knowingly put this bad engine in the 2018-2019 year models for the Odyssey. The transmission grinds. The read door opens. The engine shuts off while driving at high rates of speed. You then have to pull to the side of the road and turn the ignition off, open the door, and restart the vehicle. I have complained to Honda for a buy back and they flat out said NO! Please help.
The monocular camera went out unexpectedly for my van back in March 2025. I have multiple failure warnings that all of the van's safety features were disabled. The van had around 80k miles at the time and Honda dealer quoted me well over $2000 dollars to rectify the problem. Looked through forums and online groups and realized it was a very common issues with late model Hondas. Seems like the internal electronic is cooked by heat over time and caused the camera module to go out prematurely. I ended up buying a module from Honda and had an independent shop to calibrate it for the van which still cost me well over $1000 out of pocket.
The power sliding door on the passenger side failed to operate properly. After receiving a recall repair related to the sliding door, the door stopped functioning correctly, directly after I picked it up—it would not close or latch fully. The door assembly and motor mechanism are still on the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. 4-5 months later the driver side (same door) that was malfunctioning now will not close, I had to bring the car in for the 3rd time and they said the Pinch Sensor is bad and want $812 dollars to fix it. I have had the car from 2019 with no issues at all with the door. They claim it has nothing to do with the recall. I filed a goodwill form and they denied the claim. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The sliding door will not close or latch securely, which poses a safety risk while driving, especially with passengers or children in the vehicle. The malfunction could cause the door to open unexpectedly or prevent the vehicle from being secured properly. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The issue was first noticed immediately after the dealer performed the recall repair. I had to return the next day, and the dealer temporarily restored operation. However, the same issue reoccurred about four months later, and the door is now inoperable again. Yes. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Honda dealer both during and after the recall repair. No police or insurance inspection has been conducted. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps or dashboard messages appeared. The problem first appeared immediately after the recall service was completed.
Power Tailgate Problem is going off repeatedly while car is on. Power tailgate does not open with remote or button inside car. There seems to be water leaking in tailgate seams. The constant beeping of problem popping up is startling and distracting to driver.
It is been only 6 years with 100% city and highway driving and dealer informed me that bushings are already cracking and need to be replaced soon. Car is in mint very good conditions with no other issues.
The front multifunction windshield camera module failed due to a hot day. The cruise control, lane departure, collision mitigation, and other advanced driver safety assists are completely non functional. These are key safety features for ourselves and others. It has been confirmed by technicians, and many other owners of vehicle this model and generation with the same problem. It hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer. Many warning indications came on during startup and all the systems stated above stopped working. They haven't worked sense. This same thing happened about 2 years ago on this same van. This is a very common issue with this vehicle model and year. The manufacturer needs to issue recall for it.
Traveling from appointment to home, vehicle started to rattle from engine, could not accelerate and shut off in the middle of the roadway. We couldn’t start the engine and “emission system failure “ message appeared for the first time. Prior to the event, we did not have any issues with starting, operating the vehicle and no warning lights on the dash. Police arrived to block traffic and ordered the tow to the dealership. Honda did a diagnostic for 240.00. Results were they found metal shavings in the oil and the engine needed to be replaced. We were surprised due to the fact that we just had a full synthetic oil change within the past month and no reports of metal in the oil were reported. Honda stated that recall 23V-751 addressed this issue but our VIN was not listed for coverage. Only choice is to replace the engine assembly, quoted $9,000.00. We are just thankful this issue didn’t result in any accidents or injuries when it reduced power and unexpectedly stalled on a city road. We are 1st owners and have had all services done professionally, per the maintenance schedule. It’s a 2019 Honda Odyssey Touring with 70000 miles. No prior notice or poor performance. Honda confirmed it was an internal bearing failure. Vehicle is available for inspection, currently waiting on engine replacement to arrive. Honda did complete the recall for fuel pump replacement that was needed.
1. The multipurpose camera, which is needed for the ADAS to function has malfunctioned. Yes, it is available for inspection request. 2. The malfunctioning multipurpose camera caused the advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) to perform unreliably. Features such as lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning either stopped working or provided false alerts. This created unpredictable driving conditions, as I could not rely on the systems to detect other vehicles, maintain lane position, or warn of potential collisions. The issue increased the risk of an accident for me and for other drivers or pedestrians, especially in traffic or on highways. Upon doing some research, it seems clear that this is a wide-spread problem, which Honda has not issued a recall about. 3. Yes, this has been reproduced and confirmed by a dealer. 4. No, it has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance rep. 5. No, there were not any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure
We began getting several warnings related to Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Detection, Lane Departure not working. This was due to the multipurpose camera internal failure. The camera had to be replaced by a authorized Honda Dealer at a cost of $2,200. While the car was drivable no safety features related to the multipurpose camera were available. There were no indications of issues prior to the camera going bad. Due to the cost of replacement I would think that a large portion of drivers do not get the camera replaced and continue to drive the vehicle without use of the safety features provided.
The rear power liftgate on our 2019 Honda Odyssey has repeatedly closed automatically while the vehicle is parked on a slope, including our driveway. This has occurred multiple times, and in one instance, the door struck me on the head. The issue seems to be gravity-related and may involve a malfunction in the tailgate spring or motor system. I reported this to the dealership, and they were unable to replicate the issue. However, I have video evidence and found that Honda issued Service Bulletin 22-018, which may be related. The dealership has not confirmed whether this bulletin applies to our vehicle. This is a serious safety concern, especially for families with children or elderly passengers. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether this issue is widespread and whether a recall or further guidance is warranted.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey has a check engine light on due to failing fuel injectors. Honda service center told me, the Cost to repair would put you out the door @ 1919.38. My car has fewer than 60,000 miles, for me personally, it's a manufacturing fault. After seeing the check engine light, I didn't drive my car other than take it to the Honda service center.
Connecting rod bearings rattling at 72000 miles on my 209 Honda Odyssey. Loss of power.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH on the highway and driving over a bump in the road, the side curtain air bags and the passenger’s seat air bag deployed. The contact linked the failure to NHTSA Action Number: PE25018 (Air Bags). There were no reported injuries. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to a collision center, which determined there was no impact to the vehicle or internal failure. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the air bag might deploy at 26 MPH. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.
The SRS airbag fault has been popping up for a while on the van. I went to my local dealership to get this fixed. $1,500 later they tell me they fixed an airbag harness and the problem should be good to go. A week later the fault appears again. I feel like they’re just throwing parts at the van to fix this legitimate safety concern. Now they want to charge us $3,000 to fix another harness. For this being a safety concern and have been told my air bags may not be deploy in a crash, the dealership and Honda isn’t taking this situation serious.
Ton of warning messages. On the Honda online forum you can find hundreds of people with the same problem
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly shifted into neutral as indicated by the gear shift indicator light. The contact was able to coast to the shoulder of the roadway, where the failure persisted, and the vehicle was unable to shift into drive. The Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Collision Mitigation System, Road Departure System, and Transmission Fault Detected messages were displayed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the Transmission Control Unit. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V299000 (Power Train, Electrical System), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 133,000.
Multipurpose Camera failed at 110000 miles. This causes deactivation of the Lane Keep Assist, Collision Mitigation, Road Departure Mitigation, Auto High Beam and cruise control systems. The primary advanced safety features of the vehicle are disabled due to this issue. Issue has been reported to the dealer and they state that it is a common issue, but no recall or TSB for it yet. Warning lights come up on the dash every time the vehicle is turned on.
I was traveling approximately 65 MPH on Interstate 75 Southbound near Cincinnati, Ohio with the flow of traffic. Cruise control was not being used at this time. I felt a sudden loss of acceleration and heard a shrieking sound. I also observed the check engine light illuminate. I immediately signaled and moved toward the right shoulder from the middle left lane. Upon entering the far right lane, the same loss of power and shriek sound happened. I took the exit ramp to Sharon Road and upon releasing the accelerator, the vehicle's engine stalled. I coasted to a stop in the far left turn lane. I personally inspected the vehicle and upon using a scope into the spark plug holes, found that the center rear cylinder shows signs that the piston collided with at least one valve, and the piston does not move with the crankshaft. However, the rear valves do move. The front center piston and valves both move. This suggests a connecting rod issue.
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a premature and dangerous failure of the high-pressure fuel pump in my 2019 Honda Odyssey, VIN [XXX] . This component failure occurred while my wife was travelling from New Jersey to central New York on Saturday, August 9, 2025, leaving our vehicle disabled and creating a significant safety risk and financial burden. I am formally requesting full reimbursement for the repair and towing costs. On that date, while [XXX] was driving our vehicle through Jim Thorpe, PA, the fuel pump failed suddenly and without warning. The "emissions system problem" and "brake system problem" messages appeared on the dashboard, and the engine began "coughing" and "stuttering" before losing all motive power. This is an unacceptable and extreme safety hazard for a vehicle of this age (70,000 miles). [XXX] was forced to have the vehicle towed to our local Honda service center, Burns Honda in Marlton, NJ. Technicians at Burns Honda diagnosed the failure, noting diagnostic trouble code P0087, indicating that the rail fuel pressure was too low. According to their report, they confirmed an internal fault with the high-pressure fuel pump after observing the fuel pressure had plummeted from a normal 3000 PSI to just 70 PSI. The necessary repair was a full replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump with Honda-genuine part kit 06161-RLV-305. While I understand my specific VIN may not currently be under an active recall for this component, my research shows that Honda is acutely aware of systemic issues with fuel pumps across its lineup. Honda has issued massive recalls (e.g., NHTSA Campaign Number 23V-799) for fuel pumps in millions of 2018-2020 models, including the Odyssey, Accord, and CR-V. The symptoms described in these official recalls (a potential for the engine to stall or lose power while driving) are identical to what we experienced. Recently Honda has recalled high-pressure fuel pumps manufactured by Hitachi Astemo. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I am the original owner of this vehicle and have performed all regular maintenance on schedule. It is our primary family vehicle and now over 120,000 miles. Since purchasing it new in 2018, the fuse for the horn has blown out several times each year. Most recently, the horn has stopped working, but the fuse remains intact. I am at a loss as to how to repair without taking apart the steering wheel which could damage the airbag. This is a serious safety issue as the horn is necessary to avoid accidents. I have spoken to the service department at my dealer and they are unaware of any recalls affecting the horn.
All of the alarm lights are going on at once, immediately when the car is turned on. This includes the Collision Mitigation System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System, Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Break System. I am told by my local garage that it is a Odyssey radar system failure, that probably originates in the camera or computer, but that they cannot fix it or get parts for it. It is unclear if these systems work or not.
Started up the van and the following appears on the dash: ACC problem Collision Mitigation Problem Lake Keep Assist Problem Auto High Beam Problem Safety features unavailable when driving vehicle. In my research this issue has occurred with other owners of the vehicle as well.
After we took the car in all of a sudden randomly these warning lights will come on and my D for drive keeps flashing. LKAS, ACC, Collision Avoidance, Auto High Beam Problem And brake system warning. Sometimes some of them sometimes all of them. I read it’s a common problem but there hasn’t been a recall on it.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while her son was driving at 70 MPH, he crashed into a deer. The air bags did not deploy. After investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V064000 (Air Bags). A police report was filed. There was no reported fire. The driver struck his head on the steering wheel and sustained head injuries, and medical attention was provided on the military base. While driving, the vehicle stalled at the entrance of the military base. The vehicle was towed to an auto body repair facility. The vehicle was being recalibrated. The air bag light was illuminated. The mechanic determined there was an issue with the seat belt pretensioner. The mechanic determined that the air bag sensor was not hit during the crash. The contact called the local dealer, who confirmed there were no recalls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000. The VIN was not available.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact previously received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the fuel pump module was replaced. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle did not need to be restarted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
Main windsheild camera failed.
On 10/4/2025, I was driving with my family on a single lane road around 7:30pm. The van automatically went into neutral "N" gear and there was a message displayed on the dashboard saying it is not safe to drive and asking me to pull over when it is safe to do so. Pressing the gas pedal didn't do anything. Eventually the car came to a stop. The car wouldn't allow me to shift the gear to D or P. A cop who was driving by, saw my situation and nudged the car to the side of the road because it was blocking other traffic. I turned off the car and waited for 5 minutes. Turned the car back on. This time the message displayed as "Emission system problem". I was able to drive the van normally for another 30 miles to get back home. There was no obvious mechanical issues either before or after the car went to neutral. On Monday, I took the car to a honda dealership. While driving there, the car still had "Emission system problem" error. As soon as the person in the dealership turned on the car to get the mileage, the dashboard message went away. They did a diagnostic and said that they got a p0810 code. They reset the code and drove it for 10 miles trying to reproduce the issue. They couldn't reproduce it. I have driven the car for more than a week and I don't have the problem. However, a car automatically going into neutral while still driving on the road, seems to be a very dangerous issue. Please investigate this issue.
My engine lights started flashing. I was stranded with my children. Had to coast into a nearby gas station. I’m told it’s a failed monocular camera causing all of it. When I google that it looks like it has happened to SO MANY people! A recall needs to happen.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L has had sporadic errors happen: Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Blind Spot Info System Problem. These errors have shown up before sporadically and the dealer, DCH Honda of Oxnard was notified April 27, 2023. They could not replicate and did not respond in writing that something was wrong. The errors went away on their own. 3 weeks ago, the errors showed up again, this time also including a transmission system problem warning. The car was taken to Honda in Valencia and they ran a diagnostic and recommended the transmission be replaced or they would give us $2500 for the car. We opted to have a well reputed private transmission mechanic replace the transmission. After doing so the errors are still there. The transmission system problem error even showed up sporadically the very same day we picked the car up. There is no rhyme or reason to these errors other than perhaps a faulty windshield camera, which takes 5 minutes to replace but Honda wants to charge $2k. We also experienced the delayed shifting due to the poor 9 speed transmission and vcm design. It was quite scary to have a car full of children making a left turn on a busy road and not have the car kick into gear but rather slip. Installing a vcm tuner to bypass the computer shifting helped as well as not driving the car in Econ. Honda knows they made a bad car and while Honda Pilots and other models have had recalls related to the transmission, I am atill waiting for NHTSA to take action and include my lemon Odyssey as well. Replacing the transmission cost me over $7k and it may not have been necessary in the end if in fact these errors were related to the camera.
My Honda Odyssey does phantom braking once in a while. There are no vehicle in front of it but it still brakes. One time it brake till full stop from 40 miles per hour.
Front monocular camera failed for no particular reason. Very unsafe.
Something is wrong with the camera and causing all warnings to go off.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? passenger side sliding door not functioning while vehicle turn on. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? passenger on my vehicle can't exit out the vehicle in case of emergency. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? none. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? none. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? none.
Camera has failed disabling all the safety features associated and also the cruise control.
Center camera has gone out. Millions of vans in the same position as me.
Please failure of windshield camera 36160 thr a11 has malfunctioned IDAS
My daughter was injured when the third row, far right side seat belt malfunctioned, and she became entrapped. My daughter had fallen asleep in the seat and lay a little sideways resting on a sibling buckled in the center seat. When she arrived home the belt was very tight, and would not undo. She tried to get out and the seat belt auto retractor mechanism was working making it harder to move and then impossible. We reclined the seat a little to try and pull her out and this didn’t help. We also tried removing pieces of clothing and pulling her out to no avail. By this time our child was in pain as the belt was cutting into her waist. Neighbors came out of their homes due to the screaming, this was evening time so felt no option but to cut the belt and release her. This event was very frightening and distressing for our family. We do not understand how the auto retractor and buckle mechanisms malfunctioned but worry it may happen again. We have read similar accounts on the Honda forums. The staff were not helpful or concerned about this malfunction despite a mechanic at Honda acknowledging this has happened before. I would like to formally lodge my concerns over this incident.
Multipurpose camera failure, all advanced safety systems were affected (Adaptive Cruise, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Warning, Auto-dim headlights, etc) Also, caused engine light, brake system and transmission system errors to appear but they were cleared by replacing the camera with no apparent damage to the actual systems. Replaced at a dealership for a total cost for parts and labor $2200+.
Front windshield camera failed and available for inspection if needed. All safety features tied to this camera are now disabled. Even basic cruise control is disabled. Problem has been check by a dealer with an estimated cost of $2600 to repair a simple camera module. Not inspected by police but was inspected by the manufactures dealer. I can get it inspected by the police if it helps. There are several warning lights that come up after starting the car. Even dinging when backing out of the driveway causing distractions. This is a known issue for this year Honda Odyssey van. There are lots of posts about it and how to try and fix it without the dealer charging you 10% of the cost of a 2025 model. For something designed for families this is not what I expected. This vehicles safety is impacted by the removal of these features.
Vehicle has code U3000-49 in the MCU module. All vehicle safety systems have shut down and are no longer working until vehicle is repaired (lane assist, collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, road departure, etc.) Multiplex Camera Unit is on national back order with no ETA available. Vehicle has 5 warning lights and multiple messages that keeping popping up on the cluster.
Read Driver side power sliding door, got stuck halfway open. I've had this happen on the passenger side as well, but after turning the car off, putting power doors to manual, and rocking it back and forth, I got it fixed no problem and ended up having to replace a bump sensor on the door and it resolved. I thought that's what was going on when it happened to my driver side door as well. However after I turned the car off, and turned the doors to manual it still wouldn't close. I turned them back to automatic, turned the car back on, and the door proceeded to start going back, it rocked violently then broke the rear window and before stopping again. I read this track roller has been a problem for MANY users of this van and in some cases the entire door has fallen off because of it.
The powertrain jumps sometimes it is not smooth.The brakes does not hold too good.
Multi-Purpose camera unit internal electronic failure. Front-facing camera mounted in the windshield. This caused several warning lights including the brake system warning light to illuminate. This failure caused the automatic brake system and other safety features in the car to turn off. The vehicle has been inspected by a mechanic. There were no other warning signs.
The forward facing camera has failed. A myriad of systems are dependent upon functionality of camera including collision mitigation braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, cruise control, and automatic lighting and high beams. The failure also prompts a transmission system failure, though it's unclear how/why that system would be related. All issues are prompted by warning lights on the dash and the systems are inoperable. Research of the issue suggests it's a common failure across Odyssey and CR-V models with front-facing cameras and related safety systems.
Got my windshield replaced. Was recalibrated. Within 3 months, 5 dash lights come on. 1. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem 2. Lane Keep Assist Problem 3. Collision Mitigation System Problem 4. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem 5. Auto High-Beam Problem And the Brake System light is on. I was told it wasn’t the new windshield and that recalibration wouldn’t fix the problem. The code that won’t clear is U3000-49
Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) My 2019 Honda Odyssey slammed on the brakes while traveling 70+ MPH on a clear freeway. There was no warning and nothing in the road. I have also had issues with the braking warning light flashing for no reason while traveling down the roadway. I called the Honda dealership and inquired about the braking issues and was told unfortunately it can happen, especially if I drive on windy roads.
The Camera Assembly Monocular (part 36160-THR-A81) is shorted out causing multiple safety system failures from collision warning, lane departure, emergency braking, etc. Confirmed by local mechanic and then Honda dealer (Merrillville, IN). I still have the part, not yet replaced. Quoted $2K to replace. While driving multiple warning lamps went off and cruise control disengaged. No signs of issues prior to this occurrence. Now none of the safety features related to the ADAS system work.
While traveling in my 2019 Honda Odyssey (40,000 mile) the vehicle completely shut off and placed itself into neutral. The warning lights for emissions system problem, brake problem, and parking assist problem lit up on the dashboard. The vehicle went into neutral and would not allow me to drive at all. Then the vehicle shut off all within 30 seconds. The vehicle would then not restart and now i have to get the vehicle towed to the Honda Service Department. After looking through other complaints there is a known recall for manufacturer defected fuel injectors for my year model odyssey but does not appear when i search for recalls. This was an insanely dangerous situation here in Oahu where the traffic is very bad. The vehicle gave no warning or check engine light and we have completed every service for the vehicle. The vehicle just randomly completely shut off and would not restart leaving my family of 5 stranded.
The van's LKAS camera has malfunctioned. This has disabled not only LKAS but cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, and rear cross traffic. There is also a brake system failure light active on the digital dashboard. The failure of the LKAS camera has affected numerous Honda vehicles, not only the Odyssey, and across many model years. The part is available for inspection; #36160-THR-A81. The failure of the component has disabled key federally required safety features of the vehicle. The problem has been inspected by a Honda dealership. The repair cost is over $2,000. No warning lights nor error messages appeared before the failure of the component. It's demise presented as an intermittent error for 2 months before becoming permanent.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. Additionally, the vehicle stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the recall repair was performed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the failure was possibly due to a failed fuel pump module. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that the repair was not covered under warranty or recall. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
On our 2019 Honda Odyssey the passenger sliding door is failing to latch closed and stay closed or locked. The door is popped out in the back because the latch mechanism will not engage and electronically lock as part of the normal closing sequence like the other door. From what I can tell, this is the same issue reported in Service Bulletin 18-128, however when I called Honda about it, they said my VIN was not included in that recall. I am concerned because it seems like the same problem and it creates an unsafe situation where the door is not fully latching, even when manually closing the door and trying to lock it. I can hear excessive noise from that side of the vehicle, and the warning message flashed saying there is an issue with the Right Side Sliding door, and the dome lights come on with an audible warning tone. I am unable to put passengers in the back of the van and needed to be very careful when driving it to the dealership for diagnosis yesterday. I'm still waiting to hear from them. I think this issue should be covered under recall work, since it seem like it is the same issue described in the service bulletin 18-128.
Multipurpose camera is defective. The camera is available for inspection upon request. A number of safety features do not work when this camera is not operational, including forward collision warning and lane departure warning. Honda dealership performed a diagnostic and confirmed it needs to be replaced. No other parties have inspected the camera. There were no warning messages prior to the camera failing, only after it had failed. This appears to be a common issue affecting many owners of this vehicle.
Over the last year, recorded 13 incidences where car would not accelerate. (It occurred more times, but I did not record it). I wrote down date, time, weather, gas level, temperature, and what the car would not do. Each incidence was the same - the car would not accelerate, despite pressing down (strongly) on the gas pedal. The car would then jerk forward suddenly. This provided concern and danger as it was often as I was trying to turn off a side road, onto a main road (state highway). This often needs to be done quickly as traffic approaches from both sides. There were a couple of instances when a car was approaching and the vehicle appeared to just stop in the intersection before finally picking up. I have definitely had concerns regarding being hit by oncoming traffic. I brought the vehicle in to Honda to assess in ~May/June 2023. They could not replicate the problem and ended up returning the vehicle without any noted actions. I began taking note of when this occurred starting 6/1/2024, and have 13 recorded incidences.
The contact owned a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle suddenly decelerated to 45 MPH, and failed to properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent and was self-corrected after each failure. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer on several occasions, but no fault codes were retrieved, and the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was made aware of NHTSA Action Number: PE25008 (ENGINE). The failure mileage was 33,000.
In August of 2024, I started up my 2019 Honda Odyssey one morning and all the vehicle safety alerts/warnings on the dashboard came on (adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto high-beam problem, ABS). I took the vehicle into my local Honda dealership and they ran a diagnostic which determined that the forward looking camera was faulty and needs to be replaced. There were previously no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure of the camera. The dealer's quote to replace the camera was $1,528.99 at the time. Having since researched this issue further on Honda owner forums, this seems to be a common problem with this generation of Honda vehicles. As evidenced by the corresponding warning messages, the failure of the front camera causes an array of vehicle safety issues impacting the driver and passengers, other vehicles and pedestrians. This defect, which is an extremely cost-prohibitive repair for the consumer, should be addressed and corrected by the manufacturer as soon as possible. The vehicle is available for further inspection upon request. Please note that I was unable to select all the applicable Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) under the Problem Parts section of this form.
On July 1st 2025, while driving in Raton, New Mexico, my 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L experienced a spontaneous deployment of the driver-side curtain airbag. I was exiting the highway and slowing down to a stop sign (approx. 30 mph) when the airbag deployed. There was no crash, no impact, and no obstacle. This deployment disabled the entire SRS system, leaving the vehicle unsafe. My family — including three children — were in the car. I received a minor airbag burn on my arm, which healed in 24 hours. The SRS light came on only afterwards. There is zero exterior or interior damage. I recorded a video immediately after. The certified collision center at David McDavid Honda (Irving, TX) inspected the vehicle and confirmed in writing that there was no sign of collision. They sent me $11,000 repair (attached). I opened a case with American Honda on Monday, July 7th 2025 and I have not heard back since. The vehicle and components are available for inspection. I’ve since found multiple reports of similar airbag deployments in 2018–2020 Honda Odysseys, including: • https://www.odyclub.com/threads/2019-honda-odyssey-elite-random-air-bag-deployment.380737/ • https://www.odyclub.com/threads/random-airbag-deployment.382243/ • https://www.odyclub.com/threads/side-curtain-airbags-deployed-w-out-collision.366424/ This appears to be a pattern of spontaneous deployment and SRS failure that poses serious safety risk and warrants investigation.
Failure of multi purpose camera resulting in inoperable adaptive cruise control (or any cruise control), lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, collision mitigation braking system.
My radar and multipurpose camera need replacement
we were driving on the freeway when the car it stalled and place itself in neutral. we were unable to put it in park or drive. so we started googling while we were also trying to get a tow truck and we just decided to turn off the car and turn it back on and hoping for the best and we were able to put it back in drive and safely drive home definitely there’s a problem with the transmission or something electronical.
I had 5 warnings appeared in the dashboard : -Adaptive cruise control problem -Lane keeping assist problem -Collision mitigation system problem -road departure mitigation system problem -Auto high-beam problem and the Amber Brake system light came on permanently Searched the problem on Google and Reddit found many Honda Odyssey owners having the same problem which is a safety issue some people took their vehicle to the dealership and have been told that the windshield camera is causing these warnings to appear because the camera is overheated by the sun, and the manufacturer did not make the camera well ventilated to dissipate heat caused by sun light
While accelerating from a complete stop at a red light, immediately after refueling, the vehicle suddenly lost all propulsion power and forced itself into Neutral without any driver input. The dashboard lit up with numerous system warnings at once, including: •Emissions System Problem •Brake System Problem •ABS Problem •Brake Hold System Problem •Electric Parking Brake Problem •Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Problem The engine won't start, leaving me stranded in the middle of an active intersection. I attempted to restart the vehicle multiple times with no success. Police responded to the scene, confirmed the vehicle could not be driven, and a tow truck transported it to a nearby Honda dealership. The tow truck driver suspected an alternator failure, but the dealer’s inspection the next day could not reproduce the issue. They reported that the alternator and battery “tested fine” and that no trouble codes were stored in the ECU. No repairs were performed, and no cause was identified. Safety Concern: This incident created an immediate traffic hazard. The vehicle’s sudden loss of propulsion in traffic, combined with the inability to restart, could easily have caused a collision. Multiple critical systems were reported as failed simultaneously, indicating a possible electrical, fuel system, or control module failure. I am aware of similar complaints from other 2018–2019 Honda Odyssey owners in which sudden power loss occurred, often accompanied by numerous system fault messages. Many reports link these events to fuel pump failures, loose battery/ground connections, or transmission control malfunctions. This suggests a broader pattern of intermittent safety-related defects. Requested Action: Please investigate this incident and similar cases for potential design or component defects.
My foward facing multipurpose camera quit work causing all my ADAS systems to suddenly stop working. While researching the issue i found alot of people are having this issue per the honda odyssey online forums. And staff at the local honda dealer that repaired system for over 2500.00 stated that he has seen an increase in this issue with the camera system. My car was no longer cover under warranty and the extended warranty i purchased refused to cover said repair. Just thought maybe honda has a issue with the camera and maybe should find a fix and do a recall before this failure causes an accident.
Sometimes the door locks will not lock, an obvious safety issue. I'm certain all the doors are closed and contacts are clean. I'm guessing a flakey relay because it doesn't happen a lot, perhaps 8 times in the past 12 months. I reported it to Honda America but they said the dealer has to verify it and the dealer has been unable to reproduce it.
While driving, infotainment screen went black and audio died. Restarting car did not solve the problem. Dealer pulled and reinstalled a fuse which "fixed" the problem but said it was a known problem and could recur. It has been several years since it has happened but I figured I'd report it since some car settings are only available through the infotainment system.
High pressure fuel pump is causing decreased acceleration and lots of noise. Been diagnosed by Honda dealership and other repair shops.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey is experiencing significant fuel system issues that match the symptoms described in NHTSA Recall 21V-215 (Honda fuel pump recall), but my VIN is not currently included. I’ve had repeated problems with: – Engine stalling – Long crank/hard starting – Multiple warning lights – A diagnostic trouble code: P0087 – Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low These issues present a serious safety risk—the vehicle has stalled during driving, including with children in the car. Honda dealers say my VIN is not eligible for recall, but the symptoms align exactly with recalled vehicles. I’m filing this complaint in hopes that NHTSA will investigate potential undercoverage of this recall campaign. My family’s safety is at stake.
The sensors in the rear view camera and the grille are malfunctioning causing my van to throw error messages for the adaptive cruise control, lane assist, automatic high beam and brake light to stay on. Theres a risk of accidents happening if the van doesnt notify the driver of lane departure at the right time.
Was Driving on my way to work and I heard a sharp sound while going up a hill. I then got warnings that said transmission issue, pull over immediately when safe and the car shifted itself into neutral. I was in the middle of traffic and lost all acceleration controls, while being forced out of the drive gear. I lost all speed and had to move through traffic and get to a side street. The same thing happened to me about a year and a half ago. It was covered by a warranty but I still was experiencing losses of car power or stalling.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while idled in traffic, the vehicle was rear-ended at approximately 60 MPH. No air bags were deployed. The seat belts retracted as intended during impact, and the lift gate and rear driver's side window were shattered as a result of the crash. In addition, the vehicle occupied one passenger in the front passenger side seat and a second child passenger in the rear row driver's side seat. No warning lights were illuminated. Medical attention was sought for the front passenger for back injuries upon hitting the dashboard during the impact. Medical attention was sought for a strained neck for the driver. The child did not sustain any injuries or seek medical attention. A police report was filed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was left at the contact residence, where it remained for further investigation. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 33,740.
Not sure if this is the right complaint form, but we attempted to have a service center address 2 recalls on our vehicle and they would not perform them and would not provide a reason why the recalls were not addressed. The service center is AutoNation Honda in Westminster CO [XXX] ). We dropped our vehicle off on 7/24 for an oil change and to address the recalls. They said the work was complete on Monday 7/28 but would not provide an invoice of work completed. I've attempted to contact the service center by text and phone calls and they are not responsive. I contacted corporate Honda and they confirmed that the recalls have not been addressed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Infotainment system failure which means I am unable to use the baCJ up camera or the hands free link until I replace the entire infotainment center
I hit drive automatic transmission 2019 Honda odyssey and my van will only shift to second gear. I have noticed on my dashboard at this occurrence it shows a capital S which I believe it indicates second gear. The van stays in second and does not shift to third gear. I know other owners have complained on the odyssey owners blog. Why has this not been recalled for repair. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Emissions recall work was completed on the vehicle but the vehicle continues to exhibit "start" issues. The gas pedal can be depressed and a large delay can be experienced in the vehicle responding to the pedal causing the risk of injury and accident. The vehicle was taken to the shop and error code 219 A/B was the problem meaning fuel injectors not working properly and my particular VIN was not under those covered for replacement. Multiple warning lights associated with this problem including Emissions System Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist problem, Power Steering Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Brake Assist Problem. The vehicle had about 95,000 miles when these warnings started.
The multipurpose camera has an internal failure at 105 thousand miles. This controls the automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and more. This safety features such as emergency braking, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning are important safety features. All of these features help drivers avoid collisions by acting to correct or avoid collisions or accidents faster or earlier than drivers can react. The Honda dealership service department has confirmed that the multipurpose camera had an internal failure, but did not provide a reason and there was no inciting incident during driving or ownership that caused this. The Honda dealership service department has been inspected and diagnosed that the multipurpose camera had an internal failure. No, there were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. They only appeared after the failure, and the failure happened without warning. The failure first appeared on July 7th, 2025.
After two months of sitting outside in the Arizona Sun, the transmission was replaced on my 2019 Honda Odyssey. A day after picking it up all of the sensors came on. I have been informed that it’s an internal failure with the ADAS camera that’s housed in the windshield. After a brief web search, this seems to be a common issue related to electrical issues with the car. Since the electrical was connected and disconnected during the transmission replacement begs to reason that there was something faulty about this camera that didn’t make its way through the reset.
The multi-purpose camera/millimeter wave radar has been diagnosed by a certified Honda service center as having an internal failure, disabling all advanced driver assistance systems from operating as designed. These systems include: adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, collision mitigation braking, lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, automatic high beam. The failure of these safety systems has increased the risk of crash and injury to the vehicle occupants.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that whenever it rained, water was leaking into the vehicle and caused the rear door circuit board and power module to short circuit. The contact stated that the rear door was inoperable. The contact stated that the failure was an ongoing issue which started a year after purchasing the vehicle new. The contact stated that whenever it rained the rear door failed to function normally. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same dealer several times and the dealer was unable to duplicate or determine the cause of the failure. The contact had taken the vehicle back to the same dealer for the recent failure. The dealer diagnosed that water had entered the vehicle from the roof and had accumulated in the rear door near the electrical circuits. The dealer determined that the rear door power module and circuit board needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.
With no external cause the multifunction camera/radar stopped working at ~59000 miles almost immediately after we purchased it (used).Problem may have been disguised by dealer and occurred earlier.oly fix is a $2000+ replacement. automatic braking, cruise, lane keeping, collision alerts all disabled.
The front sensor has malfunctioned and all ADAS features are now disabled. There is no damage to the vehicle and was mentioned that this is a common issue yet no recall has been instituted yet.
Ever since we bought the car, the car has hesitated when we step on the gas pedal. It will then jerk forward, which makes it difficult to merge into traffic. There is a safety concern as it is unpredictable about when it will happen and when the car will start to go.
Car shut down for idle stop when I let foot off break the car did not start back up. Car died and I needed to restart car.
While driving on the interstate (60-70 mph) in very light traffic (2 cars in view), there was a beep from the consol and the following errors flashed: Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assistance Warning. At the same time as the beep the car felt like the breaks were being slammed on for 2 second. There was no car within 30 feet of us. and we went from ~70 mph to 40. This startled us. Ever sense then the errors would randomly come on and the vehicle will break suddenly, leading to very unsafe moments.
Upon coming to a complete stop on the freeway, the idle engine feature stopped the engine. Upon letting go of the gas, the engine wouldn't restart and the electrical systems in the car malfunctioned showing a restart of the car would be needed. After trying to restart the car, the engine wouldn't turn over. After pushing the off button and starting the car again, it finally restarted. This created a hazardous situation as there was the potential for the car behind us to rear end us since we were at a complete stop on the freeway. After the software update, this happened again at a right turn on a local street.
Intermittent hesitation to accelerate.
Auto stop start feature caused car to stall at a traffic light. Could didn’t not restart when brake pedal was released. Car did not restart until door was opened and key was cycled several times.
Majority of the time while driving you can hear static popping noises from the speakers. Sometimes it will degrade to not having any audio via radio, res, or phone connection. When it is in this state if placed in reverse, the backup camera will not function or display on infotainment screen.
The automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning will occasionally go off when there are no vehicles or obstructions in the way. It will often cause the vehicle to brake and make the driver act to keep the vehicle in lane or from another vehicle from rear ending you.
Both sliding doors fail to stay latched. Taking a turn or hitting a bump will cause them to open. The warning alarm beeps constantly unless I turn off power doors switch. This is a constant situation.
Warning for Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto High Beam, Collision Mitigation, and Road Departure all populated at once. The functionality does not work, even regular cruise control without the adaptive feature. There have been many reports of this issue with fixes upwards of $3,000. Appears to be a faulty camera. This is a safety issue and should be addressed and recalled.
8/10 times when turning on and driving the vehicle, an error pops up on the dash indicating the LKAS and ACC no longer work. Dealer found the code was U3000-49, they could not get it to clear. Sometimes the car will start without the problem, but then at some point through the drive it will occur and LKAS and cruise control will no longer be avaliable
Warning lights for collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, and several additional safety features went on without any triggering incident. Brought to the dealership, where diagnosis is DTC U3000-49 Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar internal electronic failure. Technician advised that this failure often happens after a few years for no apparent reason. Repair is upwards of $4000. Without repair, none of these safety functions operate.
The lkas and several other lights are on in the vehicle and no one has been able to provide any answers as to why. Nor can the problem be fixed. There is also a problem with the transmission. Upon acceleration there is a hesitation that the car will not engage
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that several unknown warning lights were also illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed camera system. The contact was informed that the camera system needed to be replaced, and the software needed to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,395.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened a case. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 105,000.
Rear hatch door does not open high enough for normal height people. Men who load things keep bashing their heads. My husband is 5’10” and he almost got knocked out. This needs to be addressed. Honda said to take it in but the dealer said no repair possible. That also makes my car worth less as I can’t sell it.
5 warning shows up.
Vehicle jerks at about 25mph when it’s idled in 1-2rpm. Sometime at acceleration and won’t move up rpm. Vehicle got fuel injectors and transmission fluid replaced and still have issues. Vehicle in shop now with less then 2,000k before power train warranty up even though I’ve been dealing with it for over a year. Dealer said transmission fluid was down quart 4 months after they changed the transmission fluid. They were able to replicate jerk but couldn’t replicate sound of something clicking over while idle. I have it on video. I think since Honda never fixed the issue in the first place it caused additional damage and all the want to do is add more fluid and call it a day.
2019 Honda Odyssey - the power tailgate stopped working. First I saw a tailgate malfunction warning in the dashboard. I pulled over to make sure the tailgate was closed all the way. It opened and closed. By the time I got home, it couldn’t open or close at all. I called two local dealers and they seemed hesitant to work on it. The only way to open the tailgate is with the manual emergency latch.
When I start the vehicle, I consistently get warnings for ACC problem, Lake Keep Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation Problem, Road Departure Mitigation problem, and Auto High Beam Problem. This occurs every time I have driven the vehicle for the past week. From cursory research, this issue commonly appears to be related to a failure of the camera module located next to the rearview mirror.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the contact heard a ticking sound coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the rod bearings had failed, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
Turned on the car the other day and several warnings displayed on the odometer. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem Lake Keeping Assist Problem Collision Mitigation Problem Road Departure Mitigation System Problem Auto High-Beam Problem Other than cruise controls not working, the car works fine. I took it to the dealer, and they said the camera module behind the rear view mirror needs to be replaced. Technician claimed that because my cruise control button was left on, it kept the camera running, and basically overheated the camera to a fault. He mentioned recommending to router owners that they only turn on the cruise control button when they plan to use it, and to leave it off if not. I asked if turning the cruise control button when not in use was referenced in the owner’s manual, but he was unsure. I would have to double check, but I don’t believe that warning is there.
Power Tailgate failure. The power tailgate no longer opens and closes. There seems to be no cause for this. I have read, however, on several forums that this is a manufacturing defect and that rainwater is getting through the seal to damage the control motor. I cannot open the tailgate from outside the vehicle. This is a safety concern. There were no warnings leading up to this. I called my local Honda dealer to find out if there were any safety recalls, but there were none. I think there should be--this vehicle is only 6 years old.
At restaurant on 6/1/25, backed out of parking spot. Drove about 30 ft to parking lot exit. Turned onto side street to go to light and turn on main street. About 3 or 4 car lengths from exit to light. Side street sloped down about 20-30 degrees. Brakes would not stop van. Not sure if brakes slowed down van as going slow. However, brake pedal pushed hard down to floor but did not stop van. If hit gas pedal van would have accelerated and engine raced causing acceleration and more damage. No damage to back of vehicle I hit. Very minor damage to my van. Tried yesterday and today to replicate (in isolated locations and with no other vehicle near) the van’s conditions at time of incident. I will be contacting dealer. There is no recall. Do not know if anyone else had this problem or if dealer can find any issue. Notifying NHTSA to advise of this potential systemic issue. I’ll follow up with results of interaction with dealer.
Well driving on the highway in CT. I hit a pot hole and the drive side curtain airbags deployed. There was no accident, but my kids were freaked out.
The Brake System warning light is on. With this, it is showing 5 different issue messages when the car is running. I've taken to the dealer and they are saying there is an issue with the multipurpose front camera. My car is on 39,900 miles.
I was driving the van and all this warnings came on my dashboard. ACC Adaptive cruis control problem, Lane keeping assist problem, collision mittigation problem. Road departure mittigation problem. All they come one after eachother on my dashboard. I did some research and a lot of vans 2019 have the sa e issues. My friend van same problem she payed 1900 to replace the camera. This is a safety issue and it cost a lot to replace. It cannot be deactivated. I hope it will be a recall issued for this model. I have 3 minivans honda. I never had an issue with thjs brand . The new one is terrible.... Thank you.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey’s power liftgate control model failed due to water intrusion. My liftgate started to open and close while I was driving, would close on me while loading/unloading the trunk, and would also open while parked in parking lots nearly hitting passing vehicles. It is truly a huge safety concern. Once the old module was out, I found extensive corrosion and rust on the module and its housing. As well, the entire bracket inside of the vehicle is rusted. There appears to be a defect in the manufacturers body seams that is allowing water to enter.
Nothing has happened yet, but I have been unable to get the connecting rod bearings inspected per the Honda safety recall notice. I contacted the Honda dealer in January of 2025 to have the bearings inspected, as well as to have the fuel pump replaced (also under recall). I wanted them both done at the same time. I set up an appointment for May 21st of 2025, because that date was the first mutually available date for the dealer and me. Later in the day, on May 21st, I got a call from the service department that my fuel pump was done, but they did not do the bearing inspection. I went to pick up the vehicle at the dealership only to find that the check engine light was on, so I had to leave the vehicle overnight so that the check engine light problem could be corrected. It was then that I was told that they could not do the connecting rod bearing inspection because the procedure requires a "special tool" and Honda had to send it to them. I find this strange because of the number of months that went by, from when I first contacted the dealership until the appointment date, and I thought that they would have been better prepared to complete the work. I was also informed by Honda that all of the parts necessary to do the bearing inspection were available. I received that notification on September 4th of 2024. I also find it strange that, out of nearly 250,000 affected vehicles, I am the first to request this service at this dealership. I was not told how long it would be until the dealership service department would receive the tool. In the recall notice from Honda, a connecting rod failure could potentially result in "...a fire, crash, or injury". That's the risk. I was told by Honda to continue driving the vehicle if I was not having any symptoms of failure. I have had no indications, but I would like to have this recall taken care of as soon as possible.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving on several occasions and depressing the accelerator pedal after stopping, the vehicle hesitated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); a year later. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the recall repair was completed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred the following day. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
My tailgate originally would not open and now the vehicle is inoperable. This was caused by a leak through the roof, where Honda failed to properly seal a seam, causing water to get onto the trunk control module and damage it. I see online this is happening with almost all Gen 5 Honda Odysseys and is clearly a manufacturing defect, causing thousands in repairs for each.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the messages "Emissions system Failure", "Brake System Failure", "Brake Hose System Failure", "Power Steering Failure", "EPS Failure, "Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Failure", "Hill Start Assist Failure" and "Road Departure Mitigation System Failure" were displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuel injectors had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure, and a case was filed. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a vehicle safety complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

I am filing a complaint regarding an unresolved safety recall related to the fuel pump motor (NHTSA Recall 21V215000 and/or 23V858000). In 2024, I brought my 2019 Honda Odyssey to Stevenson Hendrick Honda in an attempt to complete the fuel pump recall. I was informed the part was not available and no repair was completed. I was told to check back later. In preperation for a family road trip I checked back in and was told the part was still unavailable. Unfortunately, I did not receive a written confirmation of these visits. Yesterday (5/21/2025), the vehicle failed to start and had to be towed to the dealership. The error code DTC P0087 (fuel rail/system pressure too low) was logged. I have now been presented with $4,000 in repairs, all related to the same fuel pump issue that should have been corrected under the recall. This failure represents a serious safety concern and has caused financial and logistical hardship. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this as a failure of Honda to provide timely remedy for a known defect, resulting in vehicle failure and costly repairs for a safety-critical system.
ADAS completly stoped working and warning lights about multiple failures showed. I am having trouble with the factory dealer. Honda. They want 1800.00 dollars to replace camera and fix The Warranty i have will not cover it. I have seen a ton of this similar situation posted all over online.
On a rainy day, the power tailgate began to malfunction. First it would open part of the way, beep, and then close, then when trying again it would go move back and forth on its own, and then close. Trying it again later, however, it completely stopped working to the point where we had to manually force it to open and close, only the latch would work. The heads-up display showed power tailgate error. On my attempt to troubleshoot I found that water had leaked into the area behind the driver's-side rear inside body panel where the rear control module and fuse housing is located, which I noticed was covered with water. I was able to partially dry this. Later on the rear tailgate started working again briefly but the problem returned and now it no longer works. I contacted Honda USA about this issue and they told me there is no recall for this, however when I did a google search this issue immediately pops up and seems to be a common manufacturing safety problem that has not been addressed.
Recently got a message on the instrument panel that says "Emission System Problem" with DTC P219A. This is related to faulty fuel injectors. Honda released Service Bulletin 21-010 and extended the warranty to 10y/150,000mi to cover this issue. However, Honda is saying my VIN is not covered by this campaign. From browsing owners forums and talking to the dealer, it seems that many more owners are experiencing this same issue. Clearly the original service campaign did not cover enough VINs. Honda needs to expand the service campaign to cover more VINs to capture all of the faulty fuel injectors.
Delayed transmission engagement when accelerating from a stopped position. When the accelerator is depressed the transmission hesitates and does not shift for a few seconds. This is very unsafe when trying accelerate into traffic or cross roads. This has been an on going issue with this transmission.
Warnings Displayed: 1.Auto High-Beam Problem 2.Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Problem 3.Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) Problem 4.Collision Mitigation System Problem 5.Road Departure Mitigation System Problem 6.Brake System Warning (Red BRAKE light illuminated) Dealer diagnostic: Multipurpose camera malfunctioning. costs $2218 to replace. This should be a manufacturer recall.
I was driving to work and all of a sudden, the Check Engine light turned on and when I looked at the dashboard, it says Emissions System Problem. As I went home, I purchased an OBD sensor and as I used it, it read P219A which is about fuel injectors replacement. I was searching for answers online and I came across an extended warranty for problems like this with 18-19 Honda Odyssey but it says for certain VIN numbers. I called Honda America and said that my VIN number is not within the list so they are not covering the warranty. Same is true with the dealerships, they said the same thing. As I looked into Odyssey Forum online, a few of us at about 90k mileage has this issue and we were all told that our VIN numbers are not in the list. I do hope you can help us on this that we can be covered by Honda regarding this inconvenience.
The fuel injector system is failing. The check engine light came on at around 60k miles and the error code P219A is present for this model. Service Bylletin 21-010 covers Honda Odysseys but do not cover this specific VIN.
Without any notable prior messages or symptoms prior to the failure, on [XXX] after dropping off the kids at school and then turning on my 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L (28,170 miles), the "Brake System" light was on and the following 5 dashboard warning lights/messages turned on: 1) Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, 2) Lane Keeping Assist Problem, 3) Collision Mitigation System Problem, 4) Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, 5) Auto High-Beam Problem. The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems no longer works, and it becomes unknown to the driver whether the "Brake System" light is being triggered only by the Collision Mitigation System Problem, or an additional problemch as the anti-lock brake system not working. While no accidents occurred, the warning lights add unneeded driver anxiety, which can contribute to a potential safety impact. The problem has been confirmed by the San Leandro, CA Honda Dealer to be error code U3000-49. Dealer diagnosed problem as "Multipurpose camera / millimeter wave radar internal circuit failure" and recommended to replace the multipurpose camera and perform aiming. Dealer advised that safety features will not work. The diagnostic fee was $179.10, and the repair fee was quoted as $2456.55 The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I am filing this complaint to report a recurring and costly defect involving the starter system in my Honda Odyssey. The vehicle has been experiencing starter failures every few months, requiring repeated repairs and part replacements. Each time the starter fails, I am left stranded without warning, creating a serious safety hazard, especially when the failure occurs in public areas, on road shoulders, or during emergencies. The defect has caused extreme inconvenience, financial strain, and raised serious concerns about the reliability and safety of this vehicle. Given the frequency and cost of the problem, I believe this constitutes a systemic defect that should be investigated for a potential recall or manufacturer responsibility. I urge the NHTSA to thoroughly investigate this matter to determine whether this ongoing issue with the starter poses a broader public safety concern and qualifies for regulatory or enforcement action.
Shortly after owning we started noticing sporadic jerks between 24-29 mph that felt like a hard up shift. We immediately brought to our local Honda dealership where they performed a software update. We were told that the vehicle struggles to shift while under load. Recently our van was making a whining noise and seemed hard/delay to accelerate in drive as well as reverse. Almost felt like I was in neutral, but was not. NO warning lights were on, but something was not right so I went home. The next day it would not start and lit up every warning light. We had it towed to the dealership and was told battery was shot so they replaced. On way home it was still hard to accelerate so we brought it right back to the dealership and have been told a new transmission is needed. We have had all maintenance done at dealership prior to this. In fact, the vehicle was just in 3 weeks ago for an oil change and everything looked great. These issues have occurred without any warning lights or diagnostic alerts, making them unpredictable and dangerous. A transmission should not fail without any particular warning to the driver. It seems these transmissions have had a defect from the date of manufacturer that cause malfunctions, premature failing, costly repairs, and most important major safety concerns. Honda needs to be held accountable.
About 5 warning lights came on simultaneously keeping me from driving my vehicle safely
Front camera stopped working, which appears to be a common problem for honda, and deactivated all safety features that rely on camera.
Nine simultaneous, spontaneous errors while driving in town. Error messages were as follows: * Emissions System Problem * Brake System Problem * Transmission System Problem * Brake Hold System Problem * Power Steering System (EPS) Problem * Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Problem * Hill Start Assist Problem * Road Departure Mitigation System Problem * Blind Spot Info System Problem
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact drove over a pothole and the front passenger’s side curtain air bag deployed unintendedly. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The VIN was not available.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey has only 63,545 miles on it. The vehicle recently began making strange "rattling" sounds from inside the engine block when driving. I took the car into the dealership (Honda of Oakland) and learned from the technician that the rod bearings and/or connector rods are damaged. The engine needs to be completely torn down. To repair the car, I will need to purchase a new engine. The cost estimate is $13,000. Looking online, I discovered there is an ongoing recall for this issue affecting many 2018-2019 Honda Odysseys. Somehow, my vehicle has been excluded from this recall despite exhibiting the exact same problem(s) that the other recalled vehicles are experiencing. It appears that the existing recall parameters for the cars being affected by this bearing rod issue are too narrow. Many more Honda Odysseys are experiencing this same problem. I called American Honda for further assistance and they declined saying that the vehicle is outside of the warranty period and they are not obligated to help. I purchased this vehicle from the Honda of Oakland dealership - during my ownership, the car has passed many multi-point inspections. Nothing I have done (or did not do) has contributed to the problem - it is purely a manufacturing defect. The technician tells me that, if I don't make this repair, the engine could "seize-up" on the road while driving. This condition poses an active safety hazard for Odyssey owners.
Took the van to the dealership to fix a recall for the fuel pump. A few days later, error messages popped up saying there are problems with the adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation system, lane keep assist system, and brake system, among others. I test drove it from Arcadia to Pasadena on both the freeway and the sidestreets without any problems. We took it back to the dealership who assessed it and told us that the multipurpose camera was bad. It would cost us $2100 to get it fixed. We refused. No one was hurt, however, the dealership told me that there is a safety risk to my family if I did not repair it. Attached is the invoice for the last visit during which the dealership gave us the estimate for replacing the multipurpose camera.
My power liftgate ceased to open or close via any electronic means (button on dash, button on remote, tailgate left button on back of vehicle). The tailgate control module in the rear driver side panel was full of water when it was removed. The circuit board back side was covered with moisture damage which has shorted out the board.
Forward multi purpose camera failed and cause the rest of the advance driver assist systems to malfunction.
The adaptive cruise control, lane keeping and road departure system randomly fails and does not work.
All the symbols related ADAS suddenly popped in my car with no rain or snow or any accidents. When I checked with Honda dealership, they said it caused due to software issue and nothing related hardware and it needed 2500$ for replacing the entire system. If it is software causing this issue why would customer had to pay for it, and it could be a recall. I noticed similar issue for all 2019 and above models.
LKAS, ACC, Collision Avoidance, Road Departure, Auto High Beam Problem, and Brake System - all these dash lights come on due to unknown reasons. New battery and terminal connections have good contact. Four safety features are now inoperative and no Cruise Control.
Upon starting the car, multiple alerts came on the dashboard reporting faults with multiple systems. There was no damage to the car, it had been parked safely and appropriately prior to starting. Dealership inspected the issue and reported the camera/sensor system in the windshield behind the rear view mirror is faulty. This faulty camera now causes multiple systems off line as the sensor is no longer reliable. This is a safety issue as this sensor assists with split second support to the driver to prevent collisions, leaving your lane or speed adjustment with cruise control.
We have had issues with the transmission multiple times. After coming to a stop, rolling forward, and then pressing the accelerator the vehicle hesitates and won't immediately move forward. It will suddenly engage, often squealing the tires and jerk into forward motion. This puts us and others at risk because it causes a delay in pulling into traffic and has made for close calls with oncoming traffic. We took the vehicle to a local shop and they also noticed the issue with the transmission. We took the vehicle to a Honda dealership for service and while they stated that they could not duplicate the issue, there was a software update that they completed and stated that they thought it would take care of the issue. We are still having the issue and plan to take the vehicle back to the dealer for more investigation. We have not had any warning lamps or other messages. Upon researching this, there are class action lawsuits in the works related to this issue on 9 speed transmissions used in various Honda models during this timeframe. Honda has not recalled or extended warranties to cover these issues. It looks like Honda has sent technical service bulletins to nationwide dealers acknowleding the issue but has failed to find a fix for the problem. As in our case, Honda has done software updates which may mask the issue. Below it asks for the date that the incident occurred - This occurs at least weekly, sometimes more frequently.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the emission warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where a diagnostic scanner was used to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes P0420 and P0430. The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuel injectors were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.
since 2023 around august i felt lose of power while driving but i thought its because of the gasoline i used so i didnt care much , thereafter this loss of power problem persisted since then so i took to the dealership at battison honda at nortwest expressway in oklahoma , but they said my vehicle has no issue , but this loss of power issue was not resolved but on 1st week of february i was about to crash on road due to loss of power so took the vehicle to dealership and they said it was due to the trasmission issue and i replaced it as it passed the 5 year powertrain warranty dealership said i have to pay it full , i fight with them for 2 weeks atlast they said i have to pay 5000 dollar . so i paid the amont and they said the transmission has replaced , but still i have some hesitation while accelerate and the same issue of loss of power during acceleration happening , can you please help me to resolve this issue as its not only about money but due to safety concerns , i dont want to deal with trhat dealership anymore . please help me during this difficult situation . thank you .

LKAS, ACC, Collision Avoidance, Auto High Beam Problem - all these dash lights come on due to unknown reasons. Dealership blames the windshield camera but even when replaced same issue happens. This is a major safety concern and is a frequent issue amongst 2018- 2025 Honda odyssey owners. It’s possible that the issue is electrical CanBus issue. Please help
BCM software is out of date or not programmed correctly, car turns off while driving. when park and off and the keys are away, car tries to turn on by itself. power lost while driving
Water intrusion from driver side roof rack seal caused water entering the vehicle. Trunk underneath carpet wet. Power Tailgate stopped working and it was identified that the ECU (control unit) part number 74970-THR-A12 located behind the rear driver side trunk trim got water into it and corroded. Need to be replaced. Roof need to be re sealed. Further damage/corrosion from water which already was entering the vehicle unknown at this point.
After coming to a complete start at a stop light the engine failed to restart when I took my foot off the brake. Car turned off completely and I needed to push power button to restart car. This was very dangerous with the delay in getting car restarted in traffic. This has happened a number of times. I told the dealer and they told me it was user error.
Transmission slipping randomly due to software issues
We were stopped at a red light the auto start/stop was enabled and the car stopped. The car turned off when attempting to start and I had to power down the car, open the driver door to reset the system and get the car turned back on.
monocular camera failure. Diagnosed by Honda Dealership. Safety risk because the Adaptive cruise control, Auto high beam, road departure mitigation system and collision mitigation system no longer work properly. The warning lamps are continuously on the car, reporting this problem as well.
I am reporting a serious safety concern regarding my 2019 Honda Odyssey, which poses a risk to me and my family. The issue is intermittent, making it difficult for the dealership to replicate. The problem began when the Collision Mitigation System warning light flashed, indicating a system malfunction. This was followed by multiple warning lights appearing on the dashboard. At times, the entire dashboard and screen go blank, and all gauges shut off while I am driving on both city streets and highways-though the engine remains on. Additionally, I have experienced the following issues: The steering wheel stiffness when making turns, the vehicle hesitates to accelerate after being at a stop. In December 2023, I took the vehicle to a Honda Dealership, where they recommended replacing the front camera/sensor (behind the rear mirror) at a cost of over $1,500.00. I proceeded with the repair in December 2023. However, the same issues returned in January 2025. This defect poses a severe safety risk, especially when driving at higher speeds or in traffic. Since the dealership has been unable to diagnose the issue due to its sporadic nature, I am requesting an investigation into this matter to determine if other owners are experiencing similar safety risks. Thank you for your time and attention to this issue.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed an unknown message displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the timing belt tensioner had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 90,400.
Water was leaking inside of the back driver side corner of the tailgate. The water built up inside of the PTG module and ruined it. The tailgate lock suddenly failed and opened up while driving down the road. The warning lamp illuminated that said tailgate error. No wreck just a sudden fail. i have video of the module pouring water out of it as i removed it from the vehicle.
Out of nowhere I received 5 warnings regarding Adaptive Cruise Control, Collusion Mitigation, Lane Keep Assistant, Automatic High Beam... etc Failure. Upon restarting the car, the warnings would clear itself on occasion but would reappear on following start up.
Within 6 months of purchase (no accidents or related issues), the car starts firing off a wide range of alerts on the dashboard about failures. These include Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), or Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto High-beam problem, and Lane Keeping Assist problems. There are MANY reported issues like this online and it’s a clear failure of on Honda’s part to provide working safety features that they advertise.
The van stopped without any warning in the middle of a three lane highway. It could not be moved without a tow truck, We sat in a busy traffic lane at considerable risk. The Honda dealer that repaired the vehicle replaced the 06161-RLV-305 fuel pump. this was a very dangerous situation. The repair cost $1089.
A recall on December 18, 2023, covered the fuel pump on certain 2019 Honda Odyssey models. Mine was included. The problem has not been repaired because the dealer has told me several times that the necessary parts are unavailable. It has now been 15 months since the recall was issued. I am becoming increasingly afraid to drive this vehicle. Can you tell me how long I must wait?
Vehicle has hesitation when resuming forward drive after sitting at a light or taking left hand turn. The hesitation causes the feeling of not moving at the amount of speed the car should when starting to regain driving motion, then suddenly slams into gear and proceeds forward with a too quick acceleration to adjust to the amount of pressure applied to gas, causing the driver to have to hit brakes before hitting car infront of them.
The camera sensor in my 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L failed due to excessive overheating. The sensor reached extreme temperatures, leading to a complete system failure. As a result, the vehicle became inoperable. The failed component is no longer available for inspection as I was forced to purchase a replacement due to the vehicle’s dependency on it for proper function. The failure of the camera sensor created multiple dangerous situations: Loss of vehicle control: The vehicle lost acceleration functionality and automatically shut itself down, which could have led to a crash in traffic.Dashboard warning lights: All dashboard lights illuminated simultaneously, indicating a severe system failure. Fire hazard: The sensor was emitting extreme heat, creating a potential fire risk due to overheating electronics. Exposure to the elements: The sensor’s placement in direct sunlight likely contributed to its overheating, further increasing the risk of failure. Mandatory dependency on the sensor: The vehicle was rendered inoperable without the functioning sensor, leaving me without a safe means of transportation. A Honda dealership inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the sensor had failed due to overheating. However, they stated that the cost of replacement, installation, and recalibration would be my financial responsibility. The issue was evaluated by a Honda dealership, but no manufacturer action was taken to address the failure beyond suggesting an expensive repair. All dashboard warning lights illuminated simultaneously. Loss of acceleration control occurred before the vehicle shut down automatically. The sensor was emitting extreme heat prior to the failure. The issue persisted after restarting the vehicle—after a 10-minute cooldown, the vehicle restarted but failed again after 3-5 minutes.This malfunction was not only a significant inconvenience but a major safety hazard. The sensor’s location makes it highly susceptible to overheating.
Several warning lights turned on. Emissions system problem, transmission system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (EPS) problem, vehicle stability assist (VSA) problem, hill start assist problem, road departure mitigation system problem, blind spot info system problem. Steering becomes really difficult, reverse and forward gives out and really hard to control vehicle. Not able to accelerate. This problem happened out of nowhere no issues prior to the lights coming on. This has been happening for the past 8 months i have to unplug the battery so the codes erase and the car starts driving normal then 2 days later they come back and car wont accelerate or would have hard time picking up speed I researched and other owners of similar vehicles have the same issues as mines.
This is my second 2019 Honda Odyssey that has Multipurpose camera unit internal electronic failure(error code U3000-49). Failed camera causing the whole ADAS system to stop functioning. This part shouldn't fail in 6 year old 50000 miles car. I will also report on my second Honda Odyssey which I had the same issue last year.
It first started with the Power tailgate failure which I brought it to Honda who are aware that there is a faulty sealant that is causing water to get into these odysseys. They refuse to fix the issues and they are very costly. My van has never been in an accident. Now I'm getting all sorts of warnings from the ADAS system. Honda has refused to fix their issues and I can not afford $7000 cost to get this cleared up. People who own these vans are complaining and no one is doing enough to get this recalled.
I began have an issue with intermittent warnings on my vehicle a few months ago. They’d come and go, sometimes going away for a couple weeks. I took it to Honda they said it was the battery. After changing the battery it continues to intermittently show warnings. Collision mitigation problem, adaptive cruise control problem, lane assist problem. I took it to 3 mechanics and no one could figure it out. Finally I went back to Safelite where I got my windshield replaced in September and when they hooked it up they could see that it was the multipurpose camera failure. Error code u3000 49. When the warnings are turned on all those safety features are obsolete. Upon further investigation via the Internet I now see there’s hundreds of posts with this specific problem with their 2019 Honda odyssey.
The power tailgate is not working, no fuse is blown, control model needs to be replaced, likely due to leak in back of car (happened after heavy rain). Looks like many owners of the same car have experienced the same issue.
When starting my van, I got warnings for ACC, Lane Departure, and Collision Mitigation stating that the issues were broken. I received error code U3000-49 at the Honda repair dealer which stated the multipurpose camera no longer works. In doing my research, it appears this is a known issue that Honda is not taking responsibility for and charging $1,500 to $2,000 to repair. They state the car works fine other than having none of those safety features working.
Honda of America has released a warranty extension for "MIL comes on with DTC P0420/P0430, P030X, and/or P219A/B". My vehicle fits under the mentioned engine codes however, is deemed ineligible for the extended warranty. This issue with the faulty fuel injectors is a known issue that Honda has agreed to fix but is not willing to fix certain vehicles under the same warranty extension. This is a damaging part to the engine if left undealt with.
Dealer states that non OEM glass caused the front camera module to overheat due to overwork, currently broken and needing replacement. The glass that was installed was not EOM but IS made for front facing cameras so this seems very weird and sensitive. The replacement glass was put in two years ago but I am just now having this issue. Again, this doesn't seem to match their reasoning. Error code#U3000-49 2019 Honda Odyssey part: 36160THRA11 error messages. * Collision Mitigation * LKA * Adaptive cruise * Lane Departure Mitigation * Auto High Beam
A number of warnings popped up: adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation problem, and auto high beam problem. Only light that is on is my brake system light. I read a bit on some forums and it is likely to be the the front camera. Apparently the Multipurpose Camera Unit (MCU) fails often on these vehicles, causing these errors and the cruise control to stop working.
The car is 2019 and has about 23k miles and the tailgate malfunctioned and is completely inoperable. Based on my visit to the Lou Sobh Honda dealer in Cumming, GA, I was told that there is a crack in the body that needs to be sealed and water from there caused the control board to be exposed and get "fried". this is not something I would expect to have a warranty. At least there should be some responsibility to get this fixed, first time for free or whatever. If the diagnostics is replacing tailgate module and reseal, I feel Honda should take some ownership on this. I have read online that many drivers have the same issue. When asked to Honda customer service, I was told there is "No campaign". If there is none, I want to create one. Have to spend 1000$s on a repair that has nothing to do with my driving or care is meaningless.
Front camera went out which controls most of the safety features of the car.
When switching gear in low speed, car often jerk . Car also jerk when switching from reverse to drive froward gear.
Dash warning lights for engine code P2019 associated with the fuel injectors come on and off intermittently. Honda has said my injectors are not under recall despite other 2019 odysseys having been recalled for this same issue. Transmission has expired hesitation in shift moving from a complete stop and acceleration.
Adaptive Cruise Control Lane Keeping Assist Road Departure Mitigation System Collision Mitigation System Brake System These systems are all failing to operate. Upon startup of vehicle, the error lights for the above issues alert and systems cannot be utilized. Dealership states this is a known issue & likely requires a complete replacement of Honda Sensing/multipurpose camera/sensors at a cost of approximately $2000.00
sorry, I should make the complaint earlier since I just know I can submit it here. I have a 2019 honda odyssey EX-L since 2019 but I only have 22K miles. Starting from 2023, the vin could not pick up speed when we pushed the oil paddle; the transmission got stuck and the van could not be speed up when it was needed in highway. We came across the dangerous situations for several times. We contacted the local honda dealer for several times. They insisted that there was not any problems but they suggested we change the transmission fluid with less then 19000 miles !!!. But even we changed the fluid , the van seemed better for 2 months. I contacted honda USA. But they did not pay any attentions!!!! In the end of Jan 2025, I was making a left turn while the van got stuck there ; I almost got hit by the coming car. It was very terrifying ! I do not know what I can do since I need to use the van to pick up my three kids for school everyday I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

I have had a recurring problem for years that the dealership has been unable to resolve. Occasionally while we are at a stop, and the engine auto off system kicks in, and then I tried to go again, the car stalls completely. Battery tests fine. It does not restart until sometimes after I open and close my driver side door a couple of times which I assume reboots the electrical system in some manner. The car then starts up again and is okay. This is extremely dangerous as it happens in the middle of driving down the road, and the dealership has been unable to identify a solution or what the real problem is.
The automatic engine start stop when at a stop while driving creates dangerous conditions. The engine stalls during the re-start and it seems to pull the voltage all the way down to where every controller is dead and restarting. Cycling ignition switch while cluster is black or restarting or throwing up bunches of fault messages as traffic is now moving and you are still stopped. Sometimes this re-boot process can take around 30 seconds (guessing, I'm freaking out during those moments so time is tough but it feels like a LONG time). I have not had an accident yet but definitely some very scary moments with wife and kids in the vehicle. This auto stop feature can be disabled but requires you hit the button with each ignition cycle and I don't always remember to do that. The Honda Odyssey currently has 80,000 miles on it, we bought it new in 2019 and this has been happening since it was new. We have had this reviewed at two different dealerships; there seems to be a dismissive attitude by the service departments. They have replaced batteries and there was a software update in early 2024 but this issue is definitely still present.
Vehicle has been experiencing intermittent instances of non movement when gas pedal has been pushed. This has come about sporadically and only been rectified only when vehicle driver has repeated action of "pumping" the gas pedal. In this instances, the situation has put driver and occupants at risk as it happens without warning, not allowing vehicle to drive when cars are fast approaching. Driver will attempt to move from a stopped position to drive and car has not moved. More so, we have a slight incline from our drive way, leading on to a VERY busy road that reaches speeds of 50+ mph. There has been instances where we have attempted to enter the road way from the driveway with approaching vehicles, very far away. Once break pedal was released, the car (due to being on a minimal incline) has begun to roll into the roadway. Driver then proceeds to press the gas pedal down to initiate movement, but vehicle does not move, driver repeats action and car begins to slowly move creating near dangerous heart pounding scenarios where the approaching vehicles that were very very far away when deciding to enter roadway to slamming on their breaks to avoid collision. Vehicle then began displaying an EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM warning on dashboard. This prompted us to take it to an independent mechanic. Mechanic read the code and right away suggested we contact the dealer, as this is a "known issue" for Honda and the Odysseys and the faulty fuel injectors causing the dashboard light and vehicle not to move when gas pedal is initiated. Local Honda dealership requested vehicle be brought in for diagnostic. We paid $185 to learn what we already knew. Honda has issued an extended warranty on 2018-2019 Honda Odysseys for fuel injector issues but only to certain VIN #s. Upon researching in online forums, many customers with affected year Odysseys are being denied warranty extension due to VIN #s not qualifying. This issue is clearly larger than picked and chosen VIN #s
Honda trunk area is soaking wet after raining, carpet is stinking like mold/mildew. From my research this is unfortunately a common problem and is not being addressed by Honda. This can cause major health problems for some, especially those who have certain respiratory diseases. Repair is pending on our van, but I feel we shouldn't be having to pay for a fix that should be being addressed already by honda as multiple vehicles/vans are defective
2019 Honday Odyssey. Front camera failure is causing subsequent failure of several features to include: front brake assist and crash avoidance, lane keep assist, auto high beam, auto cruise control. Honda denies responsibility or acknowledgment that this is a faulty part and the out of pocket cost of replacement is ~$1500. This is unacceptable for a 5 year car and creates a serious driving hazard.
The warning for these ADAS keeps coming on without any reason
While driving at 25-30 mph, all of a sudden the 2 warning signs came up: “transmission system problem” AND “blind spot info system problem.” The “D” in the dashboard started blinking. When I put the vehicle in park at a stop light, the “P” also blinked. After a couple of minutes of this I pulled over and turned the car off. A few minutes later I restarted the engine and these warning lights have not come back in the last 5 drives. I read online that this may be a software glitch that needs updating (which I think is a manufacturer defect). I do feel like the car was a bit jumpy while these warnings were going off and I was TERRIFIED that it would put itself into park while I was driving and cause an accident.
The power tail gate stopped working on 1/28/2025. After diagnosis the power tail gate and it's controls on passenger side rear control panel it is observed that there is water on the controls module. Part 74970-THR-A12Control Module for tailgate has been taken out and found that the water coming though it's sockets. The $200 new control module will temporarily fix the issue but the defective rear body seam seals made of polyurethane that allow water to leak into the rear driver’s side panels can cause the following issues. The tailgate opens and closes at random, The tailgate stays open or fails to close, Tailgate short circuits and causes a fire, Water leaks cause mold and rusting. I request Honda to take responsibility of the issue and fix the problem making sure it meet the safety standards.
2019 Honda Odyssey - since about 100,000 miles, a knocking sound has begun to present itself, and has gotten progressively worse. The vehicle is now at 129,000 miles and the sound has been diagnosed by 2 different repair shops as "rod knock" due to premature bearing wear. This is exactly what 250,000 vehicles were recalled for back in January 2024, however, this vehicle's vin was not included in said recall. The repair shops have quoted the vehicle owner $9000 for full engine replacement with a used Honda engine that could potentially have the same manufacturer defect that the engine being replaced has.
Multipurpose camera facing front on top of windshield works intermittently. 20% of the time it works fine, usually the first drive of the morning when the car is cool. 80% of the time, within 60 seconds upon startup there are 5 bright orange warning lights that come on all related to a malfunction in the multipurpose camera. These are: Adaptive Cruise Control Failure, Collision Mitigation System Failure, Lane Keeping Assistance Problem, Road Departure Assistance Problem, Auto-High Beam failure. Most concerning is that the “BRAKE SYSTEM” light stays illuminated orange after these warnings come on. My car will not pass inspection if it happens to have these intermittent warnings happen that trip. This started 1 month ago, out of the blue. From what I read online in Reddit and ODY.com…this multipurpose camera failure happens to many people at the 4-5 year mark. One person has a video posted about how it’s the camera overheating…it becomes too hot to touch. If you pour water on the windshield outside it will cool it off enough to work again. I think this is a malfunction/manufacturing defect in the camera itself. It should not randomly fail after only 4-5 years. It’s connected to all these vital safety systems. The repair cost quoted to me is $2686.88 + tax. This is SO expensive and I cannot afford to fix this. I don’t need the camera because I learned to drive without all these features, but I cannot remove this option. So, I’m stuck with having to pay a huge amount for something that is a manufacturing defect in the camera itself.
I have had the trunk struts and power module replaced twice due to water leaks into the compute module of my trunk. It has cost me headaches and thousand of dollars to have it fixed. This issue should be recalled to fix and for a reseal of the trunk. My dash has a power lift gate error show up and will not open anymore. Also it will not stay open as well and slowly just close itself.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at 25 MPH over a pothole, the driver-side air bag and the driver-side curtain air bags in the headliner were deployed. The contact stated she did not depress the brake pedal, however, for an unknown reason the vehicle stalled. The contact stated multiple unknown warning lights were illuminated. White smoke was emitting from an unknown source inside the vehicle. There were no injuries sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed however, the failure was undetermined. The air bags were replaced. The insurance company was contacted and the vehicle was towed to the insurance company however, no inspection was completed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure, and the contact was referred to her insurance company. The failure mileage was 59,274.
All warning lights turned on about 9. Emissions system problem, transmission system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (EPS) problem, vehicle stability assist (VSA) problem, hill start assist problem, road departure mitigation system problem, blind spot info system problem. Steering becomes really difficult, reverse and forward gives out and really hard to control vehicle. Not able to accelerate. This problem happened out of nowhere no issues prior to the lights coming on Took it to Honda they said there was no problem and they had not experienced this problem before. This is about the fourth time this happens now did my research and other owners of similar vehicles have the same issues.
Brought my 2019 Odessey to the dealership shortly after I had the following error messages appeared on my dashboard: Brake System, Auto High-Beam Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, & Adaptive Cruise Control Problem. Sometimes these pop-up intermittently. Other codes I've seen twice since this issue started are Transmission System Problem and Blind Spot Info System Problem. The dealership mentioned that these error codes are most likely associated with the other codes mentioned above. Did a diagnostic at the dealership and they initially cleared all codes and U300-49 returned and they are recommending replacing the Multi-purpose camara unit and they are charging $2,256.95 for this to be done. This repair is costly and from what I understand is a common issue for Odessey owners. In addition, since this little part seems responsible for upholding these safety features it seems ridiculous that we paid good money to have this vehicle, but our all these safety features seem to be on hold until we get this costly repair done. I personally don't feel 100% safe driving the vehicle. To me, it feels like a gamble to put my family and the public in danger by driving the vehicle because every time I turn on the vehicle the warning sounds beep and flash, I don't feel safe.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact had previously received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact stated that the fuel pump module was replaced but the failure occurred. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 111,000.
No acceleration on freeway/highway
Does not accelerate on the highway/freeway. Took it to dealer shop, several times over the years. First 2-3 years, they say they did not find any issues. Last year, they said it was transmission issue. We took it to other repair shop, he said it was computer system failure.
There is an active recall for my fuel pump and I’ve tried several times to get it fixed and they refuse to fix it
Driver side, passenger sliding door does not properly close at times. When closing, it seems the sensor is sensing blockage and will not shut fully but re-opens the door again and again. It will mentally close after the 4th or 5th time. I typically will have to get out and manually push the sliding door shut. This happens at least a few times a week. I have noticed it around summer of 2024. It is especially concerning when trying to load kids up quickly to leave during the evenings for safety reasons to only have the doors keep opening when trying to close. Upon sharing with other friends and family, they also experience the same issue.
Vehicule does not respond when push the gas pedal. There is a delay on the vehicule respond after push the gas. Creating false idea of not pushing the gas enough. Suddenly the vehicule react loosing control.
All the controls in my Van (cruise control, lane assist, auto break etc...) stopped working. I took the van multiple times and the reason they gave is its possible that the Camera stopped working. I replaced the front windshield with OEM through Insurance. I have a feeling this happened only after the repair. The issue goes away for some reason while driving and comes back again. So its not due to any Camera failures. This seems to be a problem for many Honda Odyssey
My van regularly hesitates from the stopped position. This often causes a safety hazard when turning right into traffic or making a left turn because I am not able to accelerate for several seconds and the vehicle feels as if it is stalling out. It is a known mechanical defect with Honda and they do not currently have a resolution. When reported, I was told the mechanical system defects to switching through all the gears before accelerating, causing the delay. Not only does this cause performance issues, there have been several close calls when I have made a left turn/ right turn into traffic and the vehicle hesitates for a few seconds
Multipurpose camera malfunction.
At various times since we have owned our van, when the gas pedal is pushed, the car will not move for a few seconds. It will then go, but it’s not smooth. I can never recreate this issue, since it seems to happen randomly. I had it happen today, and it lasted longer than a couple of seconds. I was thankful I was just leaving my neighborhood and not trying to turn onto a busy street.
Water intrusion near rear tailgate control box. The circuit board was ruined by water and the automatic tailgate was at first malfunctioning and then would not function at all. The circuit board had to be replaced.
ADAS system has failed. Out of the blue, multiple warning lights have came on at the same time. This failed system is a danger by taking away some important safety features of the vehicle. -Collision mitigation system problem -Auto high beam problem -Road departure mitigation system problem -lane keeping assist problem -adaptive cruise control problem Vehicle has been taken to local mechanic to check codes. Codes cleared yet returned immediately. Seems to be an issue with a multipurpose camera in the front.
Vehicle has hard shifting up and down. Loud clank when up shifting or down shifting at random times.

The latch system on the back hatch has a defect that allows water intrusion which shorts out the electrical board, and renders it unusable. It has randomly opened while driving. Now, the hatch will not manually open even when you take off the handle from the inside. It is a safety issue, and while searching for answers, you can see that this is a universal issue. The Honda dealership confirmed that this is an issue, and the fix is well over $1,000. There were no warnings about this, even when it randomly opened on its own and wouldn't shut. This has been an ongoing issue since we purchased the vehicle in 2023. It is available for inspection.
LKA; Collision Mitigation Problem; Auto High Beam; Road Departure Mitigation; Adaptive Cruise Control Dashboard has ALL of these lighting up. Dealer said it was a sensor issue. No accidents; well cared for vehicle just spontaneously started issuing these alerts each time the car starts and the duration of the drive. Due to all the warnings the driver isn’t able to see fuel range etc.
This echos many of the existing complaints with the transmission already filed. When pulling away from a stop, the car will lag, then suddenly engage the wheels causing the car to jump forward. Some times there is a slight wheel spin etc. I have already taken it to the dealership, they said there was nothing wrong with transmission replaced the transmission fluid and reset the transmission controller. No change in behavior. I've been living with it, but recently drove another honda minivan and realized just how "not normal" the behavior is, and quite frankly how dangerous this has been all along.
The driver’s side sliding door suddenly ceased operating in October 2024. It will sometimes open halfway or partially close, but on most attempts will only open about an inch. It works manually, but is very hard to pull.

At the grocery store and trunk would not close. Warning on the dash says “power tailgate problem”. Stranded my wife in the parking lot until she was able to get in touch with me to tell her she had to close it manually. It’s very hard to overcome the actuators manually if you’re a smaller statured person.
Since purchasing the vehicle, I've had several incidents where my safety and those inside my vehicle are compromised due to the loss of drive power and stalling of the vehicle while driving. I've complained to the dealer for which they continued to assure me that there was no problem detected during the safety inspections. Recently I received the recall notice to replace the fuel pump module which was causing the issues that I've experienced with my vehicle. I took my vehicle to the dealer on 11/11/24, where it was serviced to correct the recall issues. However, I continue to have the same problems of stalling and loss of drive power when driving the vehicle. There are no warning lamps or other issues detected by the dealer according to their safety inspection. My safety and the safety of my passengers, continues to be put at risk. While driving in the highway it is especially dangerous because when I'm changing lanes the vehicle will not accelerate putting me at a risk for a collision. When I am turning left into a street, I feel that it looses power and am stalled in the middle on the street risking yet again a collision. These incidents occur at least 90 percent of the time when driving.
Currently own a honda odyssey 2019. The transmission is unstable at times. From a speed of 25-30mph, it performs hard shifts i think from the 3rd gear. We can really feel the jerk of the van along with a sound like metals slipping or something. It doesn't always happen therefore the dealer could not fully diagnose it and called it normal or wait for it to get worse. Yeah right!
The adaptive cruise control stopped working while it was on and we were driving. Also the lane keep assist went out at the same time. It appears to be an extremely common issue in this cars with the front sensing camera which is the issue we have.
The vehicle has been occasionally stalling starting early 2024, maybe sooner. I had the fuel pump recall done recently. The vehicle is still stalling, and it seems to be getting worse. The stalling happens when driving at speed, even over 70+ mph. No warning lights. But rpms drop to almost zero for a few seconds and accelerator is unresponsive. Then it comes back after a few seconds. This is dangerous. Especially on busy highways.
Fuel injectors failed. Exact same issue that was recalled in the 2018 and 2019 Oddysey. Confirmed by local mechanic that referred me to a Honda dealership since it was a known recall. Dealership confirmed it’s the exact same issue that has been occurring. Opened a case and Honda did nothing. Because my vin wasn’t included in the recall, yet. Looking to get the recall extended to other vins because it’s the same issue.

- Step on accelerator and no acceleration, - When at stop then gas there is hesitation with extra slow accelerator. - Shifting from 1st to 2nd there a jerking and hard shift which something cause loud noise. - Reported multiply times to dealer and indicated its normal (Replace purge valve) no help.
I received a safety recall notice from Honda which is informing me that the parts for the fuel pump recall are now available. However, the second sentence of the letter states that the recall applies to 2018-2023 CR-V vehicles and I own a Honda Odyssey, not a CR-V. The letter is confusing since I do not own a CR-V.
multiple errors show up on the dash. I was told it’s dealership, but this is due to a failure of the multipurpose computer in the car. This is the issue that keeps recurring across all their cars of this type that has this unit.

On May 20, 2024, I brought my Honda Odyssey to the Wesley Chapel Honda location to address the fuel pump recall. My vehicle had been exhibiting symptoms consistent with the recall, including hesitation followed by delayed acceleration, which almost caused a collision. This occurred twice at an intersection and another time while changing lanes, among other times that fortunately were not close calls. Both times at the intersection I was going straight, the vehicle turning left coming from the opposite direction assumed I was not paying attention or letting them go due to the hesitation, when the vehicle jolted forward as I was still attempting to accelerate. I was informed that a diagnostic fee would apply if the issue was found to be unrelated to the recall. I received a call stating the problem did not appear to be the fuel pump. Instead, I was advised to proceed with a throttle body cleaning and fuel induction service at a cost of $550.51 but that it would correct the issue. I either had to complete this service, or deny it, however, still be charged. After picking up the vehicle, the stalling and hesitation persisted. Within 48 hours, the issue reoccurred while my learner-licensed daughter was driving, and it has continued since then. I immediately reported this to the service advisor but have been reluctant to return to any of your locations due to concerns about incurring another diagnostic fee or undergoing unnecessary repairs. I recently received another notice about the fuel pump recall and the offer of a free repair. However, my confidence in Honda's ability to resolve this issue is nonexistent after my prior experience. I had requested a refund for the previous repair, as it failed to address the problem. Had I known it would not resolve the issue, I would not have consented to the service. At this point, I believe that American Honda or the dealer has failed to remedy the defect in my vehicle without charge and within a reasonable amount of time.

I took my van to the dealer and they told me that the sensor inside of the front mirror is faulty, causing the following lights to continue to cycle if the car is on: Adaptive cruise control problem (ACC); Auto high-beam problem (A); Road departure mitigation system problem; collision mitigation system problem; lane keeping assist problem (LKAS); brake system lights. I am unable to engage or disengage any of these systems, including when I am driving. This seems to be a major security hazard and I am aware of others that have experienced this with this exact year, make and model (across different packages) of Honda minivan. I just wanted to report this in case this becomes a major concern for other consumers.

The whole ADAS system went down and a brake system light came on. Van isn’t in warranty but isn’t old either. Just out of warranty. Lots of safety items disabled because of a faulty camera that’s too expensive to replace on our own, so now we operate a mini-van without all the extra safety items that ADAS gives you. Guess ADAS was never intended to improve safety if it only works for a couple of years.
The "Airbag System (SRS) Problem" warning appears too often. We have brought it several times to (different) mechanics and each time they find something else wrong. After several thousand dollars spent (whether it is replacing the module, airbags, wires, etc.) the warning light eventually comes back on. In speaking with other 2019 Honda owners it seems this is a known issue. At this point, we do not know what else we can do to fix it and if it indeed is a danger to drive it.
Honda has not completed the recall in a timely manner. I was notified in February of 2024 about the fuel injector recall. I have called multiple times and also requested the recall be performed when my vehicle was in the dealer’s shop. However, I was always told the parts are not available or my model is not the highest priority. The dealer kept pushing the time out for when I could have the recall performed. Currently, they are saying April of 2025.

Driver side rear frame next to tailgate has some holes at the welding site that allowed water to get in between the frame and the interior of the car and have fried the power tailgate module. I have had to purchase a new power tailgate module due to this
Tailgate issue. Unable to open the automatic tailgate door. Quick search on the internet showed this is a common problem, yet it is not part of the recall and customers are expected to pay out of pocket. This appears to be either quality control issue or bad design. This should be a recall fix.
I've a recall 2019 Odyssey Fuel Pump Mtr Saf Recall Exp1 related to my Honda Odyssey. I can't start my vehicle on 09/10/2024, which I have paid $1200 for the delear to repair. I highly suspect that the reason that I can't start my engine is because of this recall, as "can't start the engine" is one of the symptom. To date, I still have trouble getting this recall repair at Honda authorized dealer, as they are running out of parts.
All safety lights are on on the dash. No cruise control. Brake system lane mitigation ,etc. been told it’s possibly camera issues quote from Honda dealer of 2200.00 to hopefully repair. 5 yr old vehicle and they want me to spend that. I can’t afford that.

Out of nowhere... a bunch of warnings lights have appeared and disabled a lot of the safety features on the vehicle. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem Lane Keeping Assist Problem Collision Mitigation System Problem Road Departure Mitigation System Problem Auto High Beam Problem The car drives fine but the safety features do not work, along with the cruise control. This is a known issue for Honda and there needs to be a recall before someone get hurt!!!
See attached document for complaint.
approximately one year ago a safety recall was issued by Honda on 12/18/23 re Honda Odyssey fuel pump issues. Yet one year later it is not appear urgent enough to Honda or NHTSA because it still cannot be repaired/replaced. Does NHTSA really care about driver safety?
All the advanced driver assistance system fails intermittently. This causes 5 different warnings to come on and all of the safety features to stop working. This is an ongoing issue that I had taken to the dealer for on numerous occasions with no remedy.
My odyssey will intermittently refuse to respond to pressure on the accelerator. If I push the pedal to quickly gain speed, from stopping, it will lag for 2-3 seconds before suddenly leaping forward and squealing my tires. This is very unsafe because it has caused me to be in several near collisions. The dealer confirms that other customers have experienced this issue, but Honda has not made a diagnosis or fix available. I have experienced this problem intermittently for several years, beginning around 50,000 miles, and my husband has also noticed it. All maintenance is current, and we have had the fuel system cleaned to try to fix it.
Received the letter for the recall. Noticed that the vehicle does occasionally hesitate during acceleration (sometimes at lights at intersections which is super dangerous) I have have multiple people who don't know about the recall asked me what's wrong with my car, why is it hesitating. Called 2 separate Honda dealerships total of 4 times to see if I can get the resolved. They all said they know about the recall but do not have parts. (this happened throughout the duration of 1+ year after the initial recall started) Called Honda USA, they say they can not do anything, but if I pay for the inspection (without telling the dealership about the recall) and they found something wrong, they would then do the repairs) Even though the recall says if we experience issues (hesitation is listed) I paid for the inspection, and of course they did not find anything wrong. So now I am out inspection fee, a car that I don't feel safe to drive my family in, and total distrust of entire Honda brand.
All of a sudden every ADAS system went down. When starting the vehicle I get numerous errors displayed - all having to do with the ADAS. The forward facing camera is the cause of this and it is a known systemic issue within Honda. All safety features are now disabled and the vehicle has the original camera and windshield.
The power lift gate would not open with the button on the dash, the button on the door, or the button on the key fob. The only way I could open it was to crawl in the back of the van, remove the access panel for the lock mechanism, and use the lever to unlock the door. Upon troubleshooting the problem, it was determined that the power lift gate control module needed to be replaced. That fixed the issue, however Upon inspection on the old module, which is located inside the vehicle, behind the driver rear quarter interior panel, there was obvious signs the failure was due to severe water damage intrusion into the module.
Passenger sliding door will not open manually or close. “Door open” warning comes on while driving and door pops open but not all the way.
Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keep Assist, Automatic Braking, Auto Beam functions stopped working.
The camera that controls all the advanced driver assistance system fails intermittently. This causes 5 different warnings to come on and all of the safety features bases on this camera to stop working. This is an ongoing issue. An internet search shows that there are multiple Honda vehicles with this problem.

My family and I had just gotten on the parkway and the car wouldn't downshift. I noticed the "Drive" light kept blinking and then the dashboard lit up with so many different warning messages. "Emmissions system problem" was the message that stayed on. All of a sudden the car started shifting on its own into neutral, while we were on the parkway. Thank goodness there was an exit approaching and we were able to get off before we were injured in an accident. I have been having battery issues ever since I got this car. Even when it was brand new, sometimes it just wouldn't start. If I wait a little bit, eventually it starts, but I have already had to replace a battery at 30,000 miles because of this. It has been happening again, but when I bring it to Honda and my mechanic, the battery is normal. After doing research, it appears there was a recall on the 2019 Honda Odyssey with an issue relating to the battery connection that causes that transmission to reboot while driving and shift on its own. Honda claims my car was not part of this recall, but this is exactly what happened to me, and I have a 2019 Odyssey. They have had my car for three weeks now and can't find answers to fix the problem. When I first brought the car in, they said the technician was finding "A LOT of stuff." Fast forward two weeks, and they called to say it's not happening anymore so they are ruling it an "intermittent issue" and to come get the car (not fixed). I told them I do not feel safe with my children in that car. I need answers. I contacted Honda Corporate who said that Honda told them the transmission fluid was the reason, and to start with that and see if it happens again. I asked them about that recall and they said "well your car doesn't come up with it." Is it just a coincidence that the same thing has been happening to my car? I asked if they were able to find out why the car doesn't start "intermittently" and they said, "no, it hasn't happened while here."
The Tailgate Control Module failed on three different occasion on my 2019 Honda Odyssey mini van causing the tailgate to fail to be opened by fob or manually. This was caused by water leaking through the roof rail where there was a failure by the manufacturer to properly seal the area between the roof and body.I have two of the failed TCMs in my possession.On 2 different occasions the tailgate flew opened as I was driving at approximately 55 mph.At that time the tailgate could not be closed entirely and caused my battery to run down entirely.The problem has been confirmed by the local Honda dealership and another independent service center.A warning and beeping noice came on as the first sign of the problem.I have photos of the crack and what was done to try to remediate the problem.This problem has been recognized and occurred to many other owners of 2018 - present day Honda Odyssey mini vans.
Noticed clunking noise from rear of car when going over sharp bumps. Inspecting rear suspension revealed the rear driver side coil spring is broken near the bottom of the coil. Judging by amount of rust on the broken ends this has been broken for some time. Searching online this is a common issue for this generation Odyssey, and Honda do not have replacement springs in stock, with estimated wait time for parts of many months.

my odyssey falls under the dec 2023 fuel system recall. my van has the symptoms but no check engine light. ive made honda aware, but still no parts available to fix. ive been told they wont fix unless the check engine light is on, this is unacceptable especially when its a RECALL that has to be fixed. symptoms have gotten worse and im honestly ready to trade in the van if honda wont repair it. this is unacceptable, its almost a year since the recall was issued.
Over the course of the 38 months that we have owned the vehicle, random transmission slippage has been present on this 2019 Odyssey. I mentioned the slippage to the service advisors at the dealership when taking the vehicle in for oil changes. The technician was “not able to replicate the problem.” The slippage was always a safety concern. The van is highly unpredictable on acceleration, making it dangerous to try to pull into traffic, for example, since the driver never knows whether the van will accelerate on demand or not. Other times, the engagement will occur gradually, causing the van to accelerate sloooooowly, despite the driver having significant throttle applied. The display now reads “Transmission System Problem” and WILL NOT shift out of park. I had it towed to the local auto repair shop to be diagnosed. The transmission needs replaced.
There has been an open recall on my vehicle for 10 months but the carmaker and dealerships are refusing to fix it. They are claiming "parts availability" but it has been 10 months now and they are selling the part online for profit. They are also using parts to sell new vehicles for profit before addressing the safety issue for existing owners.

The front facing monocular camera of the ADAS system has failed on this 2019 Honda Odyssey with approximately 50,000 miles. The failure of this camera has rendered the ADAS systems inoperable including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assistance.

The following message suddenly appeared one day and since then, they kept coming back on every time starting the car: ACC problem, Collision Mitigation Problem, Lake Keep Assist Problem, Auto High Beam Problem, Brake Problem, and sometimes Transmission Problem as well. After research online, many other owners of the same vehicle had the same issue and which may be caused by faulty connector or faulty front camera component for the hardware issue; or software issue which was on the previous recall for the multi-media issue on the Odysseys.

Car hesitates upon acceleration passing through approximately 2000 rpm. Does not duplicate every time. Dealer will not replace high pressure fuel pump.
The transmission stalls and does not shift into gear from an idol. When this happens, it is a safety issue that creates a 2 - 5 second lag in acceleration, then a lurch forward as the RPMs rev and the vehicle finally shifts into gear. This is a known problem to Honda through multiple complaints filed with them, and is a commonly known and discussed problem on many online forums. The first time we took it into Honda they denied that there was any issue, charged us for a transmission diagnosis, and were very dismissive towards my wife. When i called to inquire about this issue several months later to set up a subsequent appointment, the service coordinator informed me that this issue is known to Honda but they will do nothing to remedy the problem because there is nothing “physically wrong” with the transmission. He went on and on about how I needed to file complaints in order to pressure Honda to do something about this because it is dangerous and he personally knew of other vehicles with the 9-speed transmission that had been involved in accidents because they could not accelerate in intersections. He emphasized that Honda WILL NOT FIX the problem. Not only is this awful customer service, but it is putting my family’s lives at risk. There have been several close calls for my wife when trying to turn left across oncoming traffic, merging into moving traffic, and navigating in smaller spaces. The transmission does not shift into gear for several seconds when trying to accelerate from a stop or from a rolling idol. It is dangerous to us and other drivers on the road. This is a known issue to Honda. They refuse to do anything about it.
car will randomly display warning lights for all systems listed above.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey was involved in a total loss car accident recently on Aug 20 2024. The cause was delayed acceleration due to a fuel pump recall by Honda Motor Corp from Dec 2023; and to date they have failed and neglected to provide the part to repair. For over a year I have experienced delayed acceleration issues with this auto. I purchased this auto new from the local dealer in 2019 and have constantly experienced, reported and paid thousands to repair and address transmission and delayed acceleration issues. Now this resulted in my inability to accelerate from a stop position resulting in another vehicle directly crashing into mine. Researching similar issues reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration it appears I'm not alone. In our case - we were in fact "T-boned"
Fuel pump died while driving on highway causing the engine to stall and vehicle to shift into neutral at highway speed. Also lost power brakes while attempting to pull over to shoulder due to stall. Further, when tow truck arrived we could not shift vehicle into neutral to place it on truck bed as the gear shifter is electronic and requires engine to be on to shift out of park. No check engine lights were on prior to this event. When the event occurred, the vehicle cycled through multiple warnings on the dash. This was extremely frightening as our whole family was in the van and we could have been killed if we lost control or if we were unable to pull over where we did. Thankfully we were in a spot where we could pull off the highway. Fuel pump was previously replaced within the last couple of years as part of a recall. New pump should not have failed this early. Dealership confirmed faulty fuel pump and replaced under extended warranty on 9/4/2024. It is unknown if they kept the faulty part. I am now afraid to drive the vehicle as the fuel pump may fail again.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey was involved in a total loss car accident recently on Aug 20 2024. The cause was delayed acceleration due to a fuel pump recall by Honda Motor Corp from Dec 2023; and to date they have failed and neglected to provide the part to repair. For over a year I have experienced delayed acceleration issues with this auto. I purchased this auto new from the local dealer in 2019 and have constantly experienced, reported and paid thousands to repair and address transmission and delayed acceleration issues. Now this resulted in my inability to accelerate from a stop position resulting in another vehicle directly crashing into mine. Researching similar issues reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration it appears I'm not alone. In our case - we were in fact "T-boned".

the front facing multi purpose camera is defective with a replacement cost of $1800-$2000. it controls all the lane assist, cruise control, braking functions of the vehicle
The mirror in the casing for the drivers side mirror shakes a lot, even at low speeds, to the point where I can’t use it reliably.

While driving my car I have felt it stalling at take off or while slowing down and trying to resume speeds. I cannot fill my gas tank up fully, and now my car will not start. We researched and found that we can tap the fuel relay under the steering wheel to start the car. We’ve taken the car in to the dealership and they will not even check the fuel pump recall because they do not have the parts. They tell me my battery is bad. But when we take the battery to replace it is good. I am now without a working vehicle because the dealership will not resolve the issue of the recall.
2019 Honda Odyssey - Camera Assembly Monocular Honda (36160-THR-A81) Safety LKA, Collison avoidance Camera failed. Multiple owners report issue with this failing. Our van was parked with system having functioned normally since purchase new. Upon starting vehicle, brake system warning lights turn on, and multiple safetey warning appear on notification screen indicating safety feautres not available. We are not only owner that has this saftey component fail on this model of the Honda Odyssey. Repair parts are in excess of $1400 and only available from dealership that indicates they have replace many of the same parts on other owners vans. Request looking at other submissions of owners experiencing this problem with the saftey feautes of the Van.
5 warning lights on dashboard for lane keeping assist, auto high bean, automatic breaking, collision mitigation and adaptive cruise control. Honda is saying it is the front sensing camera which is disabling these safety features. None of these features are working.
The camera system intermittently was cutting out. After researching it is apparently a known issue. I took it to my mechanic and what is "common" is a loose wire. This is not the case with my vehicle. It is a broken wire connection. Therefore neither my camera display or hands-free communication system work, they have no power.
Driver Rear suspension coil spring broke in half while vehicle was parked. I just got out of the van and there was a loud nose and the van dropped a few inches If I was driving at the time I could have lost control and crashed. Has not been inspected Is unavailable for inspection because no replacement part available from Honda part is on back order Multiple reports online of the same part breaking sooner. Has not been confirmed by the dealer as dealer doesn't have the part to replace it with
I have a 2019 Honda Odyssey. I have been having trouble with my transmission for quite some time. The car pauses when I try to accelerate. I took it to a Honda service center in when the car was 4 years old. They plugged it into the electronic system for an update and to look for problems. The entire system crashed. Which required me to replace the entire transmission control module. Even after this, I am still having trouble with the car pausing when I try to accelerate, which can be unnerving. My 15 year old has his learner's permit and is very nervous while driving my car. We have had some close calls.

5 emergency lights came on at the same time, we went to the Honda dealer and the problem is the front camera, they told us there, for the diagnosis it was $250 dollars and if we want to fix it it would be $1900, I think that Honda should cover that because it is a car with only 30,000 miles, it is a very expensive repair for a car that is not that old.

Hello. My Honda odyssey has a major safety issue. Three times now the rear hatch has failed. When this happens an alarm goes off and the door locks shut. Then, randomly and shortly after, the rear hatch unlocks. There is nothing locking the door when this happens. Two out of the three times I have been driving the car when the rear hatch unlatched and one is the three times I have had my three children in the car. Thank god no one was hurt or killed. Because there is nothing stopping items from falling out of the car causing an accident while driving. I have now paid two have this fixed twice at 1k each occurs. Despite me having purchased a warranty this is according to Honda caused by “water damage”. Well all over the Internet and forums there are people complaining about this with a class action law suit being investigated. The water damage is caused by improper sealing and assembly causing corrosion and the electrical failure. And then the worst part is, the hatch sticks open and the door is unlocked and not latched while driving! I have reached out to Honda directly over and over siting this obvious safety risk and saying that someone is going to get killed and there needs to be a recall. Again I can not emphasize enough how unsafe this is. I do not feel safe driving my children in this car or driving the car for that matter because the rear hatch could open at any time. I am disappointed in the lack of response by Honda and the dealership. I have spent thousands of dollars on repairing this manufacturers defect. I hope that someone can help make this matter important before someone is hurt. Honda needs to be accountable for their issue.
While driving the car brakes hard when it thinks that it is going to hit another car even though there is not another car around. We have almost been in multiple accidents because of it. When driving down a winding lane it often shakes the wheel although we are not departing lanes. We do not feel safe while driving the car with this safety feature
It is very common problem with 2018-2023 honda odyssey. Water leaks inside from the seam crack under roof drip trim. This water is dripping right on the tailgate control electronic module. And module is short circuit and dead. Now tailgate is either stays locked or stays open all the time as the latch is not operating at all. This is safety issue as if tail gate is not latched properly it can be open while driving on the road. Also with water leaking inside in trunk area it's a issue with growing mold under the carpet. It shows error message on instrument panel about trouble with tailgate system.

My car experience a sudden and catastrophic failure of the multipurpose camera, part number HP36160-THR-A81. Many of the safety features of my car are dependent on this part, which given the age and low mileage of my vehicle has obviously failed prematurely. The safety features impacted on my vehicle by this part failure include ACC, LKAS, Collision Mitigation and Road Departure Mitigation Systems. I receive continuous warning lights and alarms while driving the vehicle related to these systems. These warning lights and alarms cannot be stopped. Without these systems working properly the vehicle is not safe. I was told that 8tbwpupd cost roughly $1600 to replace the part necessary for these systems to work.
My vehicle would say mitigation control system failure, and would flutter by turning off and back on and making the vehicle in operable for a few seconds while in motion. Also, would have a transmission gauge issue and would make the car inoperable, and wouldn’t move at all, would only turn on and would function like the radio, lights, etc.
The chest clip is opening without having to press down the buttons to release it. It is magnetic and I'm able to open it with my non-dominant hand. I am not sure exactly how the child's safety was put at risk, but I imagine it is not safe to have a chest clip that can undo easily. The seat has not been inspected.
While driving down the interstate going between 55-60 mph van began to downshift and rpm’s started rising but gas pedal didn’t accelerate. Then the next day I got stranded on a highway because the van locked into neutral before I could pull into a parking lot because of traffic, then it finally went into park(we were trying to get it back in drive obviously). I was stuck blocking traffic for almost an hour with 3 kids and an infant in the car. Finally, restarting it several times worked and i was able to pull in and wait for a tow truck. This almost happened on the interstate. Someone is going to be seriously injured or worse because we almost were. Honda I supposed to be known for safety but right now, I may just switch to Toyota because apparently this issue is known and they just don’t care enough about their customers to recall and fix it.
The multipurpose camera in the front windshield has failed, causing the adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and correction, forward collision to fail. Even the non-ACC cruise control is locked out due to the failed camera. Honda will charge ~ $1800 to replace, and I can’t afford that. Problem confirmed by Ian’s of Broken Arrow. They confirmed it was the camera and not the radar unit. The failure of the camera causes a host of persistent dashboard warnings, but none preceded the failure.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated and sputtered, after which the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle was able to restart. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); the VIN was included, but parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey has had issues with engine hesitation since purchase, but have worsened in the last year to the point that I am concerned I will be in an accident. When creeping forward at a lower speed (5-8mph) to make a turn, the engine hesitates for several seconds, delaying my ability to turn and causing me to then turn seconds before another car is approaching me. I am in a Honda facebook group and many people report similar issues without any fix. I have taken my car to the dealership and they do not see any issues. I recently had my fuel pump recall done (I basically had to beg the dealership to do it despite them telling me Honda is short on supplies), and the issue is still present. The issue is worse in colder weather. I drive with 3 kids in the backseat. This issue needs to be addressed.
Step on accelerator and no acceleration, hesitation and have to push farther down on accelerator. Sometimes that works other time I have to let of accelerator and push again to go. Nearly cause accident multiple times.
Started the car one morning and instantly a bunch of warning messages appear on the dashboard stating; 1) Collision Mitigation System Problem 2) Lane Keeping Assist Problem 3) Road Departure Mitigation System Problem 4) Auto High Beam Problem 5) Auto Emergency Braking Problem. There is also a brake system light on now (amber color) due to the above. Never had an issue before now. This is on a honda odyssey 2019 EX with just over 35k miles. Took car to local mechanic who ran diagnostic report and found the following issue; "Integrated driver support/monocular camera driver support system issue; multi-purpose camera unit/millimeter wave radar internal electronic failure" Contacted the Honda dealership who want $1500 for a new device and programing; this is disgusting. This issue is so widespread its almost ready to be a full blown recall.
I took the van into Honda and they said the back 2 rear springs were broken. But the parts (springs) were on back order. I called dealers all over Ontario, New York and Virginia(because I have family in those states) and discovered that none of them had the part or that if they did they were not allowed to sell them because they had a line up of customers that needed them. One dealer, before I even gave the part number, stopped me and said your calling about the rear springs because they had so many inquiries. To me this sounds like there is an issue with the rear springs for Honda odyssey from the year 2018-2020 and that this should be a recalled item. No way is it a coincidence that there no springs available because of a random part shortage. It’s more likely it’s a poorly manufactured part and they are all breaking 5-7 years in to their life span. I believe this should be investigated as Honda probably knows the part is defective. This should be a part that is recalled and the cost of repair covered by Honda. Currently my odyssey can’t e driven for safety reasons until the parts (spring) comes in which could be month. I can give you the dealers I contacted and part number.

The front facing camera located at the top of the windshield goes bad and affects multiple systems. The manufacturer is aware of this issue. While the part only costs $150 - the dealerships want to charge upwards of $2000 to replace the camera - they say that owners are not allowed to replace it themselves. You cannot disable the advanced features. This issue is extremely common across all Honda models that use this camera.

The Monocular front window camera in 2018-2023 Honda's (odyssey, ridgline, pilot...) fails. This front window camera controls the following safety features: -Lane Keep Assist (LKAS) -Collision Mitigation -Adaptive Cruise control -Lane Departure Mitigation -Rain sensor windshield wipes -Auto High beam -Automatic Emergency Breaking In addition to compromising these safety features when the camera fails, false warnings are repeatedly provided on the dash of the Vehicle, sometimes in a singular and sometimes in a cyclic manner that you cannot get to shut off while driving. In addition to the cyclic visual warnings that cannot be turned off sometimes, the system repetitively beeps through the cycle of Erros/warnings.

These are all safety features taht no longer work on this vehicle for no apparent reason other than the system failed. It has not been confirmed by a service center, or been inspected by the agencies listed. There were no other warning lights present when the problem first began.
Front "camera"/sensor went out, this caused all of the errors to come up and ding repeatedly while driving at a high speed on the interstate. Honda says they won't cover however, this is a safety issue with lots of reports of the same issue in a quick Google search.

A water leak has ruined TWO power liftgate control modules. The water leak probably comes from the roof or driver rear window welds. I replaced one module two months ago and the new one has also malfunctioned due to water intrusion. This causes the liftgate to be stuck open or closed and could potentially open when driving!
The issue I am experiencing is a power tailgate control module failure, specifically part# 74970-THR-A12. The part is located on the driver side rear, and the issue appears to be due to a water leak coming between body seams and slowly dripping down into the module. Over time the water damage seeps into the control module casing and causes corrosion on the circuit board. This, then, renders the power tailgate inoperable. In my case, it just suddenly stopped working. A couple weeks, while the tailgate still did not work, I did receive a message saying "tailgate open" while I was driving. But, that issue went away on its own, and the tailgate didn't appear to actually be open. It is unclear if this type of electrical failure could also cause a tailgate to open unexpectedly while driving. Looking up this issue online, it appears that many other Odyssey owners have experienced the exact same issue (water leak and corrosion on control module). This should be considered for a recall given that so many drivers have experienced the exact same issues under the exact same circumstances. It seems like the issue could be solved by simply determine where the leak is occurring from. While my Odyssey is still under an extended warranty, the dealer charges to perform a diagnostic do not make it worthwhile for me to have them determine if it is covered, and I will choose to replace the part on my own. Below I have attached 4 photos showing my specific circuit board with water damage, plus the area in which the control module sits in the car, where you can see rust due to water seepage. I also experienced rapid and sudden battery drain in the past, and others in the forums that experienced this tailgate issue have also noted that they believe it may be related. Even after I replace the part, I am afraid of the issue reoccurring and/or the water leaks creating additional electrical problems in the car.
Car surges when accelerating from a stop, I believe this happens when it is transitioning from 1st to 2nd gear under the automatic transmission. It feels like a hard shift. I brought this up to the dealership the following week after I bought the car CPO, but they said it was normal for the cvt transmission. Since then, I have just dealt with it and was extra careful with acceleration from a stop. It is a consistent issue that can be minimized by stepping on the accelerator very slowly. I bring this up again because my cousin was driving my car and said "this is undriveable" and he felt the lack of control in the low speed range due to this surge at around 15 mph could be unsafe in city and bumper to bumper driving.
Regarding NHTSA Number 24-022. I have called the dealership many times and everytime they kept saying they will contact me when the parts are available for the recalled item. I wonder if my acceleration surge at 15mph is related to this recall. I have received multiple emails and letter correspondence regarding this recall, but everytime I call, no Honda dealership seems to have the parts to fix this. I find it unacceptable that it has been almost a year since I heard about the recall and there still has not been a legitimate attempt to fix this issue. It's negligence and make me lose confidence in Honda. I've never had a recall item take so long before.

The passenger sliding door does not open when it automatically opens. It doesn't matter which button you press to open the passenger sliding door, when it opens and slides back, it does not fully open and does not stay open. As it gets close to the rear, it makes the warning beeping sound then begins to close, causing it to be inoperable and not properly function as it's suppose to.
5 system warnings starting appearing simultaneously (Adaptive Crusise Control Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Auto High-Beam Problem). This started a few months ago and occurs every time the car is started, and the errors do not go away after driving for several hours. I have checked all appropriate fuses, as well as the car battery and all seem fine. An internet forum search shows this specific issue is widespread with 2018-2020 Honda Odysseys, but is not being addressed satisfactorily by dealers.
We have had repeated incidents with the vehicle since late 2023. The vehicle begins to jump and a long and seemingly random list of dashboard indicators turns on. When we first sent the vehicle in for diagnosis they could not replicate the issue, dealt with a seatbelt related safety recall and "reset the computer". This decreased the incidence of the issue temporarily. All routine maintenance has been performed on the vehicle. The battery has been replaced twice because that was the best guess of what was causing the previous issue. A few months later, the issue started again. Random indicators, sometimes power steering, sometimes temperature gauge, sometimes othes lights in rapid succession. We again took the vehicle to dealership of purchase and they were unable to replicate the issue (and unable to deal with a fuel pump issue with a multi-month backlog for the part). Finally, while driving on the interstate today the vehicle began to lurch repeatedly and the random list of seemingly every indicator lit up again (see photo), including the power steering failing. The vehicle is completely inoperable and was towed to the dealership.
Transmission went out at 120,000 miles.
Trying to complete recall and they say they will not have the parts until the fall. We’ve already had one incident of power loss and do not feel safe in the car. Honda has provided no recourse or remedy in a timely manner.

Tailgate on 2019 Honda Odyssey model(s) without power lift gate function open to only a dangerously low height. Five undocumented head injuries have occured on a single vehicle within one year. Upon more research, tailgate height for these models have caused several head injuries some requiring medical attention. No warning labels or preventative equipment attached to the tailgate to warn of serious head injury. Honda dealership advised unable to adjust tailgate height.
On numerous occasions while driving, once you hit the gas to either pass someone on the interstate or pull out on a road, you lose drive power. It is like trying to drive while in neutral. I know there is a recall on this van and I went down to Hilton Head Honda today with my recall notice to have it replaced to avoid my wife having an accident due to this recall issue. Instead of replacing the part they are charging me $175.00 to clean the throttle due to sticking! This is ridiculous considering it isn't the issue. They are refusing to replace the fuel pump that Honda has deemed defective! The description on the recall is EXACTLY what we are experiencing and have been experiencing for the last 3 months! Having to spend money on a mute issue instead of doing what Honda is requiring is unacceptable and illegal! I am happy to fix any issue once they replace the faulty fuel pump. The bait and switch method may have worked for other owners but not for me! I would like them to do the right thing and fix it.

We were out side. My engine wouldn’t start and fuel pump and battery lights lit up on desk board. I asked for help and was able to jumpstart the car- I started driving with my kids in car seats and on freeway 7-8 minutes after starting car it went to Neutral while driving its own. And speed went down its own to 20 MPh from 60 on freeway. Was able to mange to mange to take nearest exit and go to nearest open parking lot. Where was not able to shut down the car or put it in the park. I called my insurance to tow my car. And also called family member. Who came and after locking and unlocking they were able to turn off the car. And also start the car. So stared car again this time it shows only “ engine light on and emission issues “ no battery sign. and and in 3 mins in the driving again went to Neutral again. Again we had to find emergency parking lot. Turned off the car and turned on again. And then drove to home with 20 MPH. As soon as speed goes up it goes to neutral. I tried to drive to Bell Honda dealer to drop off my car and again went to neutral so had to towed my car to them. I have asked them to help me with recall issues but they said they don’t have any parts yet from Honda itself and will be available in August or September . I am really concerned with my experience that I had with my kids in car seats on freeway. And seems like I’m not getting any help to get it repair. Also thinking that this might be battery issue but I have replaced my battery in 2020 and again in September 2022 and Honda dealer said we have to change the battery again. I am really concerned that with barely 40k miles on my car - new model 2019 and in 5 yrs this is the 3rd time battery replacement required. And the fuel recall they are not able to fix given Honda is not able to provide the part. Please help
Around November 2023 I took my 2019 Honda Odyssey to Glockner Honda in Portsmouth, Ohio about an issue with the engine. I was told by Andy Schmidt and his Honda-certified technicians that the problem is the same as the one that is coming out for a recall in January 2024. I parked my Odyssey until January and took it back to Glockner Honda expecting it to be a part of the recall. I have waited for 6 months for it to be included or for Honda to agree to repair the vehicle. I have been told on multiple occasions by certified technicians and management at Glockner Honda that this is a manufacturing defect and they do not understand why it is not part of the recall. The recall is the same year, made, model, and problem as I am experiencing. I finally got verbal confirmation (Honda refuses to put it in writing) that they will not cover the full cost of the repair. I provided an estimate of the repair to the manufacturing defect to them from Glockner Honda. I demand that they pay for this defect. Also, they refuse to provide any information or explanation as to why my particular 2019 Honda Odyssey is not part of the recall. Please make them pay for this defect in the manufacturing process.
The transmission on this van has acceleration issues. When trying to accelerate the van will on occasion have hesitation of a few seconds. This has left me in situations when merging where I have almost been hit. The acceleration at times is not responsive. I’ve noticed it when trying to apply urgent acceleration, such as trying to cross an intersection, and when I accelerate a little, let off the gas, and accelerate again. A Google search finds many people with the same issue. This is a major safety concern since the van does not apply acceleration when expected and can leave a person vulnerable to being hit. This has been happening to me for years but I didn’t know I could report this. Happened today.
This vehicle has experienced random braking incidents while being operated on highways and other roads. Additionally, within a span of five years, two doors have malfunctioned, and the electrical system required replacement. These defects have jeopardized the safety of my family. The vehicle was purchased new at the time of acquisition.Please help.

Nothing has happened, yet, but we've received multiple recall notices from Honda who refuses to fix the problems. They keep claiming they don't have the parts, and it's been six months since you issued the recall. Why do we have to keep driving a car that could fail at any time? Why don't you force them to fix all the recalled cars? The recall number is 23V-858. Thank you for whatever you can do to get Honda to fix our Odyssey.
Honda Odyssey 2019 slips during highway speed and has no acceleration while the engines rpm goes up. Very dangerous at highway speed and then will have a large clank noise and go into gear. Honda doesn't acknowledge the issue with their 9 speed transmission but their are tons of complaints on the web with the same issue I have. It happens at lower speed too at stop lights and is a safety concern for me when my wife is driving out children around.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the tailgate will not open. Yes, I can have it inspected. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This limits the ability to use the tailgate. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I have brought the car into the dealership to fix the tailgate. The motor was replaced and they stated they sealed the back to prevent water from getting in. It has since broken again and currently it will not open. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The first time it broke the dealership inspected and fixed the problem. It is now broken again and I haven't brought it into the dealership yet. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? I got a tailgate error multiple times, also the battery was draining really quickly - which I think was due to the trunk issue.
While driving on highway rear Left spring which is a ver heavy duty spring broke into pieces without any accident but could have caused catastrophic event. This needs to be investigated as per even dealer said this is very unusual , this sprng coil never breaks and could cause death. This is a metallic issue with Mattel.
Water leaked into the back of my van through the plastic molding at the top of the lift gate. I was told the water ruined the control module. The part I was told would rrun $850 to replace. I looked the control module online at a gunuine Honda parts catalogue & it's $121. They tell me there is no guarantee that this will work. If it does not, then they recommend the replacement of the rear wiring harness which lists at the same Honda parts site fo $2,101.64 but this dealership wants to charge $8,500 plus $900 for new carpeting. Looking at the auto blogs, it seems that this is a recurring issue with the 2018-2019 Odysseys.
I'm experiencing several error messages on my 2019 Honda Odyssey, which include issues with the Brake System, Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Auto High-Beam, Road Departure Mitigation System, Collision Mitigation System, and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). These warnings are not only persistent but raise significant safety concerns, especially during instances where sudden braking is necessary due to a vehicle abruptly cutting in front. The constant illumination of the Brake System lights is particularly alarming as it casts doubt on the reliability of the brakes in critical situations. It appears that these problems are not isolated, as other Honda owners have reported similar safety risks affecting both drivers and passengers.
Issue Fuel Pump Recall Report: My vehicle was identified as an affected vehicle of this recall. The designated honda service shop failed to share the recall details when the specified engine stall was reported to the dealership at check in. When the vehicle engine stopped prior to the incident automatic sliding doors also stopped working and one week prior to this the audio and electrical outage on the media console also went out. All of the cracking and sound issues including inability to connect a phone properly via Bluetooth (no handsfree capability) , the screen going black and or just blue without any display. Cruise control has never worked properly and fails to adjust speed or stop accelerating so basically has never been operable. Dealership and Honda recall campaign has failed its clients tremendously on this one. I have zero trust in them or their interest to do the right thing. The safety concern remains: no reliability on speed acceleration on cruise control capabilities, no reliability on reverse cam or view quality, automatic door malfunction not sensing obstruction within a safe time to avoid impact, failure to avoid on coming traffic if the vehicle stalls in the way of high speed traffic or in route on freeway. Safety issue: the failed communication of the recall never ever shared by the dealership while vehicle was brought in for oil changes with diligence. Failure by the dealership to note the explained concerns as part of the nationally acclaimed recall (not in compliance). The dealership not seeing the direct safety obstruction of my (the drivers safety) and passenger safety (minor children) is subject to harm "DAILY" on account of the manufactured malfunctional processes.
Getting the following error messages on 2019 Odyssey: - Brake system lights - Lane keeping assist problem (LKAS); - Auto high-beam problem (A) - Road departure mitigation system problem - Collision mitigation system problem - Adaptive cruise control problem (ACC) - Brake system lights These errors have caused safety issues, especially when someone comes in front of the car randomly or cuts you off. Also, the Brake system lights being on always make you think the brakes will not work when needed. These errors seem to be a known issue with Honda car owners putting drivers at risk and also the passengers.
The vehicle's tailgate stopped working and a series of distracting alerts repeatedly popped up on the instrument panel. Upon inspection, the liftgate control module had a significant amount of corrosion on the pins and on the circuit board itself, despite the surrounding area seeming dry. Replacement of the control module did not completely fix the problem because the connector pins are corroded and dirty.
When car stops and Am I go to accelerate. The pedal. is dead and won't respond. Take. 3 seconds for it to accelerate. And if you're foot in an accelerator. it will take off and squill the tires.
After getting vehicle serviced twice in the past 6 months for 2 different recalls, the alarm has been randomly going off in the middle of night. Then today when trying to start the vehicle the engine clicked nonstop and all the dashboard lights and headlights flickered uncontrollably. When researching this issue it sounds like its an internal failure within the keyless access/TPMS control unit, which also appears to be a frequent issue with this vehicle. If this is such a frequent issue with so many cards how is this not a recall?
My 2019 odyssey has occasionally stalled while at lights. We had received the safety recall in the mail months ago. Though it states they currently have NO FIX for this dangerous issue and that you have an increased risk of crash or injury. And that it wont be able to pass emissions. TODAY my vehicle stalled out while in motion. While transporting my four small children. By the grace of God it didnt result in an accident. I contacted my local honda dealer who told me to contact America Honda since they have no fix per honda for the recall at this time. I did so and they told me they cant do anything about it and to contact my dealer. They do not provide loaners for any reason no matter the safety concern. The check engine light it also on due to the issue and wont be able to pass emissions later on, and america honda says oh well, contact your local dealer. They should have an answer. They have stated to me that america honda hasn’t relayed information to them and dont know what to do at this point. My family’s safety is in danger because Honda cant find a fix. What do I do?
My check engine light came on along with an "Emissions System Problem" error around 68,000 miles. Upon checking out the car, my local Honda dealer found error code P219-B which indicates that the fuel injectors need to be replaced. The dealership stated that this is a known issue with multiple Honda TSB service bulletins regarding regarding problem. Honda has extended the warranty for fuel injectors to 150,000 miles, but only for a certain VIN range, from which my vehicle is excluded.
While operating the vehicle on a highway, under normal weather conditions the vehicle was traveling at a normal rate of speed while Side airbag curtains on both, drivers and passengers side, spontaneously deployed. There was no collision with any vehicle or object to cause deployment. Side airbags caused temporary visual and hearing impairment from deployment making vehicle operation on highway extremely dangerous to safely navigate to shoulder of highway to a place of safety. The side curtain airbags blocked side mirrors and all side widows. Unable to see out of vehicle to navigate to shoulder of highway. There is no external damage to vehicle. There were no indication lights warning of an airbag system issue. Vehicle is currently at a Honda service center awaiting appointment to assess vehicle.
Received several error messages with collision avoidance, braking, lane keeping, front collision avoidance. I took it into the dealership and they quoted me 3k to fix it. I had code DTC U3000-49 multipurpose camera unit/ millimeter wave radar internal failure. They could not explain why it would come back on and work for a while and indicated both systems have to be replaced because of their software. I took the vehicle to dealership two months earlier for loss of acceleration and engine not accelerating when pressing pedal. Alternator replace. Upon searching the internet, this seems to be a common issue with the Odyssey dating as far back as 5 years. My errors are the following: -ACC issue -LKAS issue -collision mitigation system -auto high beam problem. I am beyond frustrated because these are all safety related systems. A close friend and master mechanic believes that it is an electrical/ software and not a component issue since the components seem to be functioning at times. I am not sure why all of these systems are failing at once.
The car essentially stalls and the gas pedal becomes unresponsive at times. It is mostly from if the car is stopped or if you are growing slower and then try to go faster I.e. turning on a stop sign into a road. I continue to press the gas pedal and then it will peel out once the car comes to. It is terrifying because I feel like I cannot trust the vehicle and it carries my children. I am terrified it will stall out and I will get hit. We have fixed all the recalls and brought it into a Honda dealership but they said they could not find any issues. The person we had was not helpful and we escalated to the manager.
Multiple safety system error codes began popping up while driving, transmitted, drive gear "D" on dash was flashing and when I pushed the park shift button it went to neutral for a few seconds before going into park, honda is not sure why error codes won't go away after clearing,
Engine made a clicking sound, I complained about it for nearly 10 months to dealership and other mechanics until I forced a mechanic to drive around with me. They first found metal shavings in my oil pan, found that rod bearings 2/6 are fully scorched and it now needs a new engine. Engine stopped twice on the road similar to eco mode, but wouldn’t turn back on the same way. Nearly causing collisions. No warnings whatsoever, vehicle had regular maintenance per its light warnings. Complete failure on Hondas part to correct this.
The Car hesitates when I press on the gas to go forward, making turns, and pull off from stop signs, or traffic lights.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while accelerating from a complete stop, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that upon depressing the accelerator pedal down to the floorboard, the vehicle lurched forward while shifting into gear. There was no warning light illuminated.

Prior to this recall, we had noticed an acceleration issue with the car. One day, during our travels, we encountered a severe stall, which could have been a dangerous event. Just as we were grappling with this situation, news of a recall reached us, but unfortunately, the fuel pump required for the fix was unavailable. It was only when the HondaLink app suggested that the dealer could replace the fuel pump that we found a glimmer of hope. Immediately, I secured a reservation for March 15th, 2024. However, upon reaching the dealership, we were informed that the required part was not in stock. Frustrated, I lodged a complaint with Honda, outlining our predicament. Today, on April 4th, 2024, I received a response from them, stating that they would address the issue once the part became available. However, this leaves me in a precarious position. Who will be held accountable if an accident were to occur due to this fault? Neither Honda nor the dealer seems willing to shoulder responsibility. Certainly: In their response, Honda has essentially washed their hands of the matter, stating that it is up to me to pursue further action. They suggested that I could either escalate the issue with the NHTSA or explore legal avenues. Despite this, they have chosen to close my query, leaving me feeling abandoned and unsupported in this ordeal. Feeling increasingly uneasy about driving a car with a known faulty component, I am left with no choice but to consider reporting this matter to the NHTSA for serious intervention. I implore Honda to take decisive action, whether it involves replacing the vehicle or compensating for the trauma we've endured during this time. Each time I get behind the wheel of this car, I am acutely aware of the risk posed by the defective fuel pump. It is imperative that this issue is addressed promptly and responsibly.

The van suddenly started randomly throwing up a series of 5 different codes, all relating to the forward camera system. It will appear and disappear at random, showing lane keeping assist, forward collision system, adaptive cruise control, automatic dimming headlights and lane departure system failed. There are tons of issues with the car having bad cables/terminals for the rear camera, A/V systems, and SXM antenna, but Honda refuses to admit that the front camera issue is related.
My dash displays errors dealing with the Honda sensing. I took it into the dealership and they quoted me 3k to fix it. Upon searching the internet for a solution, this seems to be a common issue with Hondas, dating as far back as 5 years. My errors are the following: -ACC issue -LKAS issue -collision mitigation system -auto high beam problem While some complaints date back to five years, it’s very clear the issue is ongoing in Honda odyssey models, as owners, including myself, are still posting to see if there is a fix. Honda’s resolution is to pay them 3k which I find appalling, since it’s very clear that their models are continuing this issue - along with the fact that it is being reported that owners are experiencing issues still.
See attached document for complaint
Random extreme sudden braking (activation of the Cmbs) while driving on the freeway, without any vehicle in reasonable proximity tothe front or to either side. Creates hazardous situation resulting in collision with a car following behind or loss of control. Daytime driving, dry pavement, both sunny and cloudy. Full visibility. This has been ocurring for the last three years, frequently.
When I came to a stop at a red light, my auto engine idle engaged. When I tried to go by pressing on the gas, the engine would not turn on. The lights flickered and I had to wait a couple minutes to restart the car. This is not the first time it happened but it happened most recently on March 8, 2024. I have called Honda in two locations multiple times and they say they have no parts. When I told them I am experiencing problems they said they can try to expedite the parts but they don’t know when they will receive them. I am supposed to go in on Monday but they could not guarantee the problem would be fixed since they don’t have the parts. My safety was put at risk because I was driving and blocked traffic at a light which turned green. I had the car inspected in December for a different recall but they could not fix this open recall because they didn’t have parts. They knew I was experiencing problems with the engine not starting in December.
My Honda odyssey 2019 started with issues turning all bunch of light in the dash, the brake system light, the road departure mitigation system light, keyless remote not working properly had to press 2 times to turn on or off, battery will drain and not work properly. The keyless fob will not unlock the car, the back sliding doors would not open at all. My car left me 2 times and I had to call geico for road assistance. I took it to the closest dealer to get it checked they tought it was the battery so we had warranty on it and they replaced it. They tought the problem was fix but again all lights came back again. This happened 3 times in the nissan dealer. This past month and a half I have being dealing with my vehicle. So this weekend we decided to take it to the Honda dealer that's 1hr away from my home, with all the lights on again, scare that she would turn off on the highway. No turn light signals working, no hazard lights working either. Finally today I got an answer from the dealer they said that the cars tailgate left side factory seal, that's like a rubber its falling off little by little and it messed up the computer that's next to the back left panel of the driver side. They say that this is wear but I have heard of too many vehicles being damage on the same spot and it starts with the tailgate. They want to charge me $673.89 to replace the tailgate control unit and that if that didn't fix the problem that I had to rewired the vehicle again and that was going to be be $4790.78. I would love to see Honda to do a recall on this, this is something that has to do with factory issue,I don't think owners should pay for something wrong they are doing while building this mini vans. I have warranty on the vehicle and they are saying that would not cover the repair because its a water damage. This keeps happening to almost all the Honda mini vans. Pls do the search and you will see many people complaining about it. Thank you!
Sudden Loss of Acceleration/Unpredictable Acceleration: Pressed accelerator to enter highway from rolling stop going around 10-20mph. ZF 9-Speed transmission hesitated, attempted to downshift & vehicle suddenly lost transmission & possibly went into neutral and/or transmission failed on highway. Dashboard indicated Emissions System Problem" & "Transmission Problem" Vehicle would not shift back into gear & vehicle was subsequently towed. Prior to this event, vehicle had occasional 0.5 - 2 second hesitations when downshifting & exhibited rare occasional metal clanking sounds when downshifting beginning around 70,000 miles. Additionally. transmission had unpredictable significantly delayed shifts that resulted in subsequent surges of power that were enough to screech the tires on acceleration.
As from the year of 2019 to 2024, I was received a lot of this vehicle safety recall, I went to the Honda service dealer to repair my vehicle but unfortunately they refused and respond repaired service on my vehicle at all times for a reasons is no parts, up to now my vehicle is still not recovered any safety recall service from Honda dealers.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle drove over a bump in the roadway and the rear end started shaking abnormally. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that he was able to drive the vehicle however, after driving over a bump in the roadway, the rear end bounced several times. The contact stated that a friend drove the vehicle and confirmed that there was an issue with the rear end of the vehicle. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure as rusted rear struts on the passenger’s and driver’s side as well as one of the struts had fractured. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, the contact was unaware if a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while his wife was exiting a parking lot driving approximately 5 MPH, the passenger’s side rear of the vehicle unintendedly lowered approximately 8 inches. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger’s side rear coil spring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being unavailable.

I was patient throughout the 2 previous Odyssey recalls (which took HONDA months to remedy) but, since, according to HONDA, fuel pump recall # 23V-858 poses a clear SAFETY RISK: If the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury -- I cannot be patient again. My vehicle, which seats 8, is regularly used to transport people from [XXX] of age. If this vehicle should stall on the busy [XXX] highway, or even just fail to start on a hot Florida day, it could have serious consequences for the occupants. I have reached-out to Honda Corporate, and my local Honda Dealer (where I bought the car) but neither would even offer a guess as to how/when this unacceptable SAFETY RISK will be corrected on my vehicle. Thus far, I've had no obvious issue with the fuel pump defect; please help me resolve the issue before my lucks runs out. Many thanks in advance.

The transmission slips or doesn't engage appropriately. The van lurches forward at intersections and slips, pauses with a loud clunking noise at lower gears when driving in town. This morning, I attempted to cross a double highway...pressed the accelerator, nothing happened, then the vehicle lurched forward, stopped again, then lurched forward again all with the accelerator pressed down. I was almost hit broadside while crossing the highway. This is not the first time this has occurred. Multiple people in our household drive this vehicle and all have reported the same concern. I've asked about this every time I get routine maintenance but Honda dealership says it's working as designed and they've witnessed this issue in other customer reports. This is a significant safety risk!
Driving on highway suddenly multiple warnings ️ lights on (about 10) warnings lights like check engine, transmission system, power steering system brake assist ,holding brake system, line departure assistance, hill assistance, emission system, ACC system, VAS system, blind spot assistance and lack of power hitting gas (Accelerate pedal) no response car slow down by itself becomes 20mph on 55mph highway very scary this happened four times in one month.
On January 18, 2024 I had the following recalls performed on 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite: Auto Idle Stop and the Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) communication coaxial cable. Immediately after the recall work was completed, I began receiving an error code "Collision Mitigation System Problem". The error code would flash after this sequence of events: After my car's engine has come to temperature and is warm. I come to a complete stop, my car goes into Idle Stop and when I release the brake to accelerate and the engine re-engages, this error flashes. And, I can continue to drive. Prior to this recall work, I had never received this error. In addition to this error code, on January 24, 2024, I was at a complete stop on a freeway offramp. When I released the brake and tried to accelerate, my car would not engage and very loud clunk, followed by the orange "Brake System" light flashed on. Eventually my car engaged and we were able to drive. The clunk was so loud my teenage children asked me if we were hit by another car. On, Friday January 25, 2024 after dropping the car off at the dealership we were told that "The diagnostics have revealed a 'defective Multipurpose Camera and AIM'. And, the cost to replace is $1793.77 plus tax.
All safety systems which I had come to rely on failed all at once. Honda claims it’s the multi function camera that just randomly went bad. This affects safe driving. Condition Is ongoing
In early December 2023, while driving, I experienced a sudden malfunction in my LKAS system, receiving a notification that it had stopped working without any prior indications. In response, I promptly pulled over, turned off the vehicle, and restarted it, hoping to clear any error messages. Unfortunately, the issue persisted. Subsequently, I took my vehicle to the Honda service center, where I was informed that the front camera was malfunctioning, triggering multiple error messages such as collision system problems, auto high beam issues, and adaptive cruise control malfunctions—all of which rendered these safety features inoperable. The service center clarified that, while it was deemed safe to drive the vehicle, the automatic braking system and front camera features were unavailable, and any necessary repairs would be at my expense. The paperwork provided indicated the discovery of DTC U3000-49, citing a multipurpose camera unit/millimeter wave radar internal electronic failure. Additionally, beyond the LKAS system issue, I have repeatedly encountered difficulties with my vehicle's acceleration. Notably, there is a struggle to accelerate from a complete stop, and a significant delay in acceleration occurs when removing my foot from the gas pedal, especially in the middle of intersections. This delay has resulted in near collisions, with other vehicles honking and, at times, coming dangerously close to colliding with my vehicle. Despite reporting this ongoing acceleration problem to the dealer multiple times, the issue persists and has worsened over time. This comprehensive incident report aims to document and address the technical malfunctions in my vehicle, emphasizing the urgent need for a thorough examination and resolution of these safety concerns.
On June 2023, the driver side rear sliding door of my Honda Odyssey abruptly ceased functioning. Despite the infrequent use of this door—since I typically rely on the passenger side for dropping off my three children at school and activities—it is perplexing that the underused door has encountered such a critical malfunction. Given that our family of five heavily depends on this vehicle for transportation, the inability to utilize both doors has not only caused significant inconvenience but also raised substantial safety concerns. The driver side rear sliding door is currently sealed shut and attempts to open it manually have proven futile. It appears that the latching mechanism has completely failed, as the motor makes an audible attempt to open the door, yet no actual movement occurs. This issue has persisted for over six months, prompting ongoing communications with Norm Reeves Honda in West Covina and Honda's customer service team. According to the Honda report, it is suggested that the door may have been forced open. The estimated cost for potential repairs is $1,679.19, pending a proper assessment of the specific problem once access to the affected area is granted. The technician mentioned the necessity of breaking the paneling to reach the latches for replacement. Notably, this is my second Honda Odyssey, and two other family members also own Odysseys. Honda's van doors have a documented history of malfunctions, and it is disheartening to observe the lack of attention to this recurring issue. Moreover, the burden of the associated costs is unfairly placed on the customer. The prolonged delay in resolving this matter and the financial implications underscore a pressing need for Honda to address and rectify these door malfunctions promptly and responsibly.
Lift gate is malfunctioning. The lift gate opens but not all the way. It then bounces down and up attempting to open or close itself.
Over the years of owning this vehicle, we've encountered sporadic electrical problems that have led to the car either stalling or needing a jump start. Despite these issues, inspections of the battery have revealed no obvious problems. Additionally, we've had intermittent system warning messages for features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Departure. These warnings have surfaced and vanished on multiple occasions. The vehicle has never been in an accident or experienced anything beyond normal operating conditions.
There has been no incident. And I hope there is not. But the forward camera that assists in the road departure mitigation, forward collision mitigation and lane keeping assist has failed. Also inoperative is the cruise control, auto dimming headlamps and the brake system light is on. I find it hard to believe that after some of the less critical recalls that have been sent out for this vehicle that they don’t address this very important safety system. The camera alone costs $800 and that doesn’t include the cost of installation and calibration. I have a family of six and we use this van extensively. But we cannot afford this repair and are forced to drive with all of these lights on in the instruments. We take extremely good care of our vehicles. It is serviced well and has been in no major accidents. Please help us get action for ourselves and others who are in danger
I have not experienced a problem YET but a problem has been identified and a safety recall has been issued. A problem resulting in serious injury or death could occur while in traffic, but Honda has decided that it will delay replacing a potentially faulty part until I either have a problem or they have taken care of vehicles that have already experienced a problem. I tried to get an appointment but was told they could not request a part for my vehicle because I have not experienced a problem. Unacceptable.
Basically, when starting from a stop - either dead stop or coasting stop, but after applying the brake, when you start gently pressing the accelerator, nothing happens for an inordinate amount of time. Likely only a second, but feels much longer when you're trying to make a left or right hand turn in front of oncoming traffic. The van may be barely rolling, because the brake isn't engaged, but you're only coasting with no response from the gas pedal. Then, after the short delay the engine feels like it is trying to catch up to where it should be based on the amount you've already depressed the pedal, and the van starts so fast the tires are peeling out.
Vehicle will "neutral out" on acceleration and make a whizzing noise. This occurs every time we drive this vehicle. It loses a great deal of power when this happens and feels like it is never going to regain speed. Finally, after 5-10 seconds it goes back it to gear but not before you almost get rear ended

A faulty body seam seal allowed rain to enter the body of the vehicle and infiltrate the power tailgate control module. On my vehicle, this produced the error message "Tailgate Problem". The tailgate would fail to open, open part way and then close, or attempt to open at random. There have been reports of tailgates opening while driving as a result of this problem. My dealer replaced the tailgate module and re-sealed the body seam where water was entering. This seam is where the top and side panels of the vehicle join near the driver's side tailgate hinge. This is a manufacturing defect in the body seam seal that is allowing this to happen. The problem has been extensively documented by vehicle owners at [XXX] This unsafe driving condition should be subject to a recall to prevent anyone's tailgate from opening unexpectedly while operating the vehicle, creating a hazardous condition for occupants or for other motorists who might be affected by items falling out of the rear tailgate.

Water leaked through the roof causing the tailgate motor to fail. There are separations in the body seams above the tailgate. The vehicle has not been an accident.
Power tailgate began to malfunction first by opening slowly or not opening at all. Once open, would not close automatically. Would require a lot of manual force. Then, a "Power Tailgate Problem" error began to show on the dashboard. We took it to our local mechanic within about a week's time. They found the following 9 electrical codes: Power Tailgate Control Unit Internal Error Power Tailgate Right Touch / Pinch Sensor Circuit Malfunction Power Tailgate Left Touch / Pinch Sensor Circuit Malfunction Tailgate Closer Unit Half Latch Switch Circuit Malfunction Power Tailgate Sensor Pulse "A" Circuit Malfunction Power Tailgate Sensor Pulse "B" Circuit Malfunction Power Tailgate Drive Motor Circuit Malfunction Left Power Sliding Door Touch / Pinch Sensor Signal Error Left Power Sliding Door Touch / Pinch Sensor Signal Error They then found that the water was on/in the Power Liftgate Control Unit stemming from a leak somewhere in the body, probably around the D pillar. The Power Liftgate Control Unit will be replaced. The local mechanic recommended contacting Honda or a body shop to find the location where the water is entering the car.

Trunk is not properly sealed resulting in water getting into the trunk and corroding the tailgate control unit, this issue has been reported online hundreds of times. A week after my trunk flooded during heavy rain my car warning lights for the brake system, lane keep assist and several others lit up and wont work, the lights turn on and off intermittently - again this issue is being reported online by multiple owners. This is a known issue Honda refuses to acknowledge or resolve.
- Fuel injectors all need to be replaced - Cylinder misfire on a very new vehicle that should be relied upon - Dealer confirmed fuel injectors need to be replaced. Stated that this is a very common issue "I've seen a million of these". I asked why it would fail so early in the car's life and the dealer stated "problem with the milling process ... small needle like pieces break off and clog" - No - Check engine light came on for "Emissions system failure"
Warning lights started being displayed stating that multiple vehicular functions were not working. (Vsa stability, emissions system, brake system, brake hold system, power steering problem) Upon inspection at the dealership I was told it was a fuel injector problem and it was not covered under the recall. The fuel injector is currently on back order and I have been waiting several weeks for a part. The estimate that was given to me was around $1200. I believe this should be covered by Honda
When I start the engine, I switch the gear from parking to drive mode and give it a gas, but the gas doesn't reach the engine the way it should, then after it starts running super fast even if I barely give it a gas, the timing belt is now making a cranking noise. Dealers told me it was an engine problem inside the engine. The dealer mechanic are even very surprised why this happened and after again I took it to other mechanics, and they told me the same thing and also they told me about the recall and after I've seen a recall on Honda Odysseys with different VINs, but my car has the same problem (NHTSA Campaign Number 23V-751). This issue is a manufacturer's issue and my car has 118,000 miles on it. I just bought it six months ago for $37,000 and it's out of warranty. I need help. All the mechanics suggested it has a manufacturing problem including the dealer mechanics, also they advise me to this page to report and get some help.
The van had 75k miles and would lose propulsion on the highway with no warning and no dash light coming on. van would slow way down causing other drivers to hard brake behind us, Then finally go back into gear and drive like nothing happened, couple days later the same thing would happen. We took it to Honda and said the transmission will need to be replaced.
These safety features do not function on this vehicle. Issue warning lights when car is started.
The automatic sliding door won't close intermittently. When closing the sliding door, it will beep then slide back open, it creates a safety issue when the door will not close. The problem occurred intermittently and sometimes shut the engine off and then restarted the engine to fix it, but this has happened more than 30 times so it needs to be addressed.
Power tailgate problem repeatedly flashed on dashboard but would disappear before it was legible and the car was beeping while driving. We stopped and tried to see what the problem was but it wasn’t until we finally arrived home that it finally showed the full error on the screen. Apparently this drained the battery as well and we had to call AAA the following day to start the vehicle. They tested the battery which was only 2 years old (OEM battery died after only 2 years) and said it was fine. Drive around for 40 minutes and the next day it was dead again. Had it towed to the dealer who after much discussion agreed to replace the battery even though I read online about people having issues with water leaking onto the power tailgate module. The dealer told Me they had to replace the battery instead and the next day called to say that I was right, the battery replacement didn’t solve it. And when they looked at the power tail get module it was indeed corroded from moisture. But they wanted an additional $500 so they could subcontract to an “expert” who could seal that leak. I told them to only replace the module and asked why a recall hadn’t been issued. They said this was beyond their pay grade. I told them I’ll find a way to seal it myself.
On January 2, 2024 I was driving down the interstate the whole dash board electrical system went out and quit working.After a period of time it came back on. Started down the interstate again went out a second time. Afraid to drive it anywhere. Taking it to Lees Summit Honda in Lees Summit MO for them to check it. Thank goodness it was day light. I was really scared and almost wrecked the vehicle. I had my mother and my two young boys in the car.I also looked to see if there were any recalls and there were none.
Rear lift gate ceased operating, unlocking or opening. Later received errors on dash for blind spot malfunction and transmission error. Dealer says it is an issue with water leaking into the rear chassis getting into the exposed electronics.

On December 8, 2023 I left my home where the vehicle is parked in a garage to drive to work. About a mile down the road I heard a loud pop and glass was flying off the top of the car. The sunroof of the vehicle had exploded without any direct impact to the sunroof, extreme vibration on the road, or extreme temperature. The car was at about 45 mph and the temperature was above freezing.
My 3 year old daughter had the sliding door shut on her hand completely. It shut and sealed in place whereas it would normally beep and reopen when it sensed an object in the path.
My power tailgate control unit is fried due to a leak in rear driver side.
On multiple occasions when traveling at a low rate of speed when the accelerator is pushed there is no response for up to 2-3 seconds then the car suddenly accelerates forcefully because the gas pedal has been pushed to the floor with no response. It has mostly happened when we are making a left hand turn and have slowed. Due to the seconds of delay we have been almost t boned and are hesitant to make a left hand turn if there is any traffic because we don't know if the car will immediately accelerate or if it will hesitate. We are able to reproduce it to some extent by accelerating the car to about 5-7 mph, letting off the accelerator and then reapplying pressure to the accelerator. We took the car to the dealership and they reproduced it and contacted the Honda techline who told them it is normal. It has been scary for myself and my wife and does not feel normal for the car to have a complete delay in response and then over respond.
Delay in acceleration. It is an intermittent issue. Noise when gear is changed. Coming from a stop or slow down, pushing the accelerator pedal slightly, the car does not respond. Pushing the accelerator pedal further down the car jerks(responds), accelerates but faster than needed/desired. The accelerator pedal needs to be released, push the pedal again to increase the speed to as needed/desired. Sometimes this results in a loud boom coming from the engine or transmission as if the gears did not engaged previously, but when pushing the accelerator pedal harder. Having searched the internet several people reported the same/similar symptoms. Some people took the car for check up, but no improvement afterward. My dealer could not help me either but offered to check the car out for $ 200 bucks. No engine light is/comes on. This is an intermittent issue, so duplicating does not seem to work. Having worked in maintenance at OCTA, I recall being told symptoms as the above, resulted in changing shifter or transmission or parts thereof.
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the significant reliability issues I have encountered with my 2019 Honda Odyssey. Unfortunately, these issues have led to inconveniences, unexpected expenses, and a reevaluation of my trust in the vehicle's long-term dependability. During the warranty period, the vehicle suffered from water infiltration in the trunk, resulting in flooding. Addressing this problem required multiple interventions by the dealership. Post-warranty, an electrical/electronic component related to the liftgate module malfunctioned, leading to an unforeseen repair that cost upwards of $800+. Subsequently, the vehicle experienced recurring starting problems, necessitating jump-starts on multiple occasions. Most recently, a complete failure to start occurred, requiring towing to the dealership, which unfortunately happened while away from home. Extensive diagnostics revealed the necessity to reprogram the BCM (Body Control Module) to resolve the issue. The repetitive and varied nature of these issues, especially for a four-year-old vehicle, raises concerns about the reliability and quality standards associated with the Honda Odyssey. These recurring inconveniences and unexpected expenses have compelled me to reconsider recommending this vehicle to friends and family. Of particular concern is the possibility of experiencing a breakdown in remote areas during extended trips. The prospect of being stranded with my family in such situations is troubling and potentially unsafe. Urgent attention to resolving these issues is crucial to avoid any untoward incidents for myself or other Odyssey owners. While I have raised my concerns with Honda, I am also contemplating sharing this experience with the NHTSA. The uncertainty surrounding potential future issues while driving has led me to consider selling this vehicle. I believe it's essential to document these concerns for the safety and awareness of others who might face similar situations.
The car failed to start several times, and then it fell out of drive completely while I was driving down the street with my child in the car. Fortunately I was only on side streets where the speed limit was low because the car just stopped working about five times in one city block. I hate to think what would have happened if I was on a highway at higher speeds. We had the car towed to the Honda dealership closest to us. They handled about 7 different recalls on the van and didn’t at first identify any serious problem as it didn’t abruptly stop when they drove it around their block. However, when I stopped in and described the issue, they test drove it again. They couldn’t get it to start and then it stopped abruptly on them when they drove it a bit more. There is a recall that has to do with seizing up and not starting and stopping abruptly but my local folks say that this seems like a transmission issue and not the issue with the same symptoms that are listed in the existing recall. Could they be mistaken or could these two issues be related since this existing recall is so new that they haven’t alerted owners yet? They still have my car and say that it is not drivable.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I believed the spark plug or the condense coil has an issue with my vehicle. The engine lose power at stop when I stepped on the accelerate pedal the car takes about 2 seconds idling then speed up suddenly. I am not a mechanic. Therefore, I am not so sure. It's available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Misfire of the car can be a serious issue on the road which put the driver safety at risk. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No
This vehicle decelerates or loses power while driving . This has happened 3x. Also vehicle is lag in accelerating from take off, my fear of getting t-boned if it stalls Most recent date below. Has been taken to dealer numerous times
The vehicle's transmission has been continously shifting erratically, where shift intervals do not correspond with engine speed and or vehicle speed. The pattern is so erratic that the transmission causes a very strong jolting or surging motion and loud thudding sound. I have checked on fluid level and found the level within required standards. I bought the vehicle on 7/13/2023. The Dealer never disclosed any transmission issues. I have been observing this issue from 7/18/2023 to the present. It has since, been progressively constant and is a safety issue, where the vehicle could break down when operated in high traffic areas that require speeds up to 65 mph. Collisions due to stalling or surging from this vehicle would be catastrophic and include multiple deaths or injury.
The motor that raises and lowers the rear liftgate failed and has been repaired already at a Honda Dealership. The van is not even 5 years old yet and the motor failing caused the lift gate to droop after opening causing my wife and I to bang our heads on it if we weren't watching for it. The more important safety concern is if the liftgate lowers to a certain point, the motor causes it to bounce up and down slightly and then automatically close. My concern for the safety of my young children made me get it repaired promptly. The honda dealership did confirm that the motor failed and it caused strain on the right strut as well need it to be replaced as well. There were no warning lights on dash. This is a youtube link to someone else with the same van and year with the same problem. This is what my van was doing.

For over a year, when ever I press on the gas to accelarate the car stalls and this is very dangerous as it could cause an accident. It is not related to being low on gas as it happens even the the tank if full. The most recent issue happened yesterday. I was on a stop sign, and when I pressed the gas to go, the car moved forward a bit and then it stalled, leaving me on the middle of the intersection about to get hit by upcoming traffic. I was able to press the gas a couple of time and get car moving, but I was about to get him. A few weeks ago, again I had a similar situation. I was at a red light, and when I pressed on the gas, my car stall and wouldnt move, causing everyone behind me to honk their horns. I once again then to press the gas a couple of time for car to move. In addition, a few weeks ago, I was yieling to enter a highway, and when I press the gass to speed up and enter it, the car once again stall and was about to get hit by upcoming traffic. The issue is not related to gas tank, as I just recently had that replace after it suddently rip. Not sure how that happen, maybe another think to consider looking into. When I advised the dealership of such, they said stalling is normal due to type of engine. There is nothing normal of putting your life at risk. This is an accident waiting to happen.
airbag system (SRS) problem
My vehicle suddenly slammed on the brakes with no warning. The “brake” light for the emergency braking system began flashing at the same time the car began a hard brake. It came to a complete stop in the middle of an intersection and I had absolutely no control over the vehicle. I was very fortunate that it didn’t cause a collision but it came very close. I don’t see how this is a safety feature, it’s incredibly dangerous. The only way to turn it off is to remember to turn it off every time you start the car. Absurd.
Van had srs code on from when bought by original owner. I bought van recently and tried to fix the issue I had the airbag replaced and the error went on a few days later. While looking into the issue I spoke to a few mechanic's who have both seen this issue with other vans with the same make and model. In those cases also it didnt help with replacing the airbags. There seems to be a real issue here but there isnt yet a recall.
The Odyssey has progressively started to shift harder and harder between 2nd and 3rd gears which matches up with what others have stated about its ZF 9-speed transmission problems (ours is an EX-L with the ZF 9-speed). It has been serviced at a Honda dealer and there are no open recalls on it at the moment.
Transmission has completely died. We were traveling on vacation when this happened. Started with very rough gear shifting. Our safety was at risk because random warnings then came up on the screen such as cruise control not working, brake assist. Car would not drive normal. Check engine light never came on. The car was towed to the local honda dealership who confirmed it needs a new transmission. We just purchased this car 3 months ago. They inspected it before selling and stated everything was fine.
Driving down the road and vehicle suddenly switches out of gear into neutral. Very dangerous situation. Another time we’re driving at 45mph and the vehicle suddenly starts flashing 3 error codes and decelerating. We have to continue to drive 45 mph with the car sounding terrible all the way home. Once home the vehicle somehow resets itself and all of the flashing lights turn off.

I have a 2019 Odyssey Elite and the following lights come on: Adaptive cruise control problem (ACC); Auto high-beam problem (A); Road departure mitigation system problem; collision mitigation system problem; lane keeping assist problem (LKAS); brake system lights. My problem is intermittent. I can make it go away most of the time by pouring water over the camera or spraying it from the windshield wipers fluid, then turning the car off and back on. That works sometimes. This makes me think it may be due to heat as the windshield (especially the black web lines around the camera) gets very hot. I also have noticed that at night or in cooler parts of the day the lights do not come on most of the time (have not kept a log of problem yet). One problem could be heat but cooling off with water does not always work. In that case, I lightly tap the camera case with a small rubber hammer (it is locate in front of my rear view mirror), turn the car off and back on, and the lights go out. Water plus tapping works and sometimes tapping alone works. This makes me theorize that the weather (heat in my case but I have seen other say it is cold due to snow) causes the cable/wiring within the camera to loosen (meaning weather [heat or cold] sensitive) cable connectors. Thus cooling with water and or light tapping fixes the problem until the next episode occurs. Who knows it could even be the windshield glass. As I said earlier, there is a black webbing type glass etching around the camera. Some say it is the battery, but I have yet to see a post where changing the battery fixed the problem. When the lights are off, all safety features (mitigation, adaptive cruise control, cruise control) work. I assume auto high beam and brakes system will work also. Forgot to add that when I turn the car off and back on, I have to press enter on the steering wheel a couple of times before the lights go off.
When stopped at an intersection, waiting to turn left, vehicle sometimes will not accelerate when gas pedal is pushed. If I do a very light acceleration, then let go of the gas, then try to accelerate, it is as if the transmission is in 5 gear or something. After a 3-4 second lag, the vehicle will then seemingly find 1st gear, and will accelerate. As you can imagine this is extremely dangerous if making a left turn and cars are speeding towards me. I push the gas pedal, but the car does not move, meanwhile cars are getting closer to me, and cars behind me are honking. I have taken the car to Honda dealer three times for this issue. Each time they do something to "fix" the problem, and each time, the problem persists.
multiple random times lifting foot from brake at intersection car lunges then completely dies. Car is stuck in street and battery light is on. Battery needs to be jumped to get working, battery and alternator test fine, replaced battery with agm battery three months ago and same thing happened today. Luckily tire store was at the intersection and they were able to jump it to get it going, they tested everything and no issues, they had no idea why it would happen.
Auto Engine Idle Stop function does not restart engine after stopping engine. This situation happens regularly. This causes a dangerous situation when the car does not restart when driving I n traffic. Vehicle has been inspected by dealership and they are unable to resolve.
rear tailgate seal failure 2019 honda odyssey allowing water intrusion and corrosion of lift gate control module, per ft lauderdale honda dealer. Not a safety issue but a design defect per other honda owners.
The trunk lift gate can suddenly fail and slam down quickly, being a safety hazard. When the trunk opens, it will move up and down a few times, then it will beep three times and slam shut. It consistently happens when parked on an incline.
Safelite replaced after market windshield in 2020 now I bought new ADS CAMERA. Honda was unable to program/(AIM-recalibrate). Took it to Safelite, they didn’t want to responsible for it.
The defective part is the fuel pump it cause the vehicle to stall when operating, increasing the chance of a crash. Also the car won’t start. Took the car to the dealer and gave me an estimate.
Over the last three weeks, there were 3 incidents where the emergency braking system spiked the brakes when there was no reason. There was one incident where the lane departure spiked the brakes for no reason. Over the first 5 years owning the vehicle, this never happened. The first incident was going around a curve on a 2-lane road I travel at least twice a day. It sometimes beeps for cars in the other lane, but has never spiked the brakes until now. The car in the other lane was not over the line. There was a car behind us and they almost hit us due to the rapid braking. Incident 2 was on a straght road when there was a right lane closure with orange cones gradually blocking the lane. I started moving to the left lane well in advance and was most of the way in the lane when the brakes spiked. There was no oncoming traffic, but a car behind me had to brake hard to avoid hitting me. Incident 3 was similar to Incident 2, except there was a box in the road. With a straight road and no oncoming traffic, I was fully in the left lane, avoiding the box, when the brakes spiked. The 4th incident involved spiking the brakes with a lane departure warning. I was going around a curve that I travel at least twice a day. The road was clear and no traffic coming the other way. Going around the left curve in full control, the right lane departure warning sounded and spiked the brakes. The brakes had never applied before in a lane departure scenario. I took the van to the dealer and they made it sound normal, like four improper emergency braking incidents in 3 weeks was a regular occurrence. They tried to duplicate the issue and checked the computer for codes, but found nothing. This does not seem normal to me and is a safety issue that could cause an accident if the car spikes the brakes for no reason like this and someone is following closely, not expecting me to stop.
Our 7 year old was sitting in her car seat when the seatbelt lost tension. Turns out the bolt, securing the belt, was never actually bolted in with the proper torque. The lock washer was as good as new, so if it was threaded at all it was certainly not enough to protect a family. As you can see in the picture, the lock washer was never engaged, this should not have been on the road.
Warning light turn on without any cause. No accident involve. Just happen overnight.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the automatic headlights warning light, the brake warning light, the adaptive cruise control warning light, the lane mitigation warning light, and collision mitigation warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the cause of the failure could be determined. The contact stated that the technician reset the warning lights; however, the failure recurred. The contact concerned that while driving the vehicle a failure might occur regarding the safety of the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds with the Forward Collision Avoidance Adaptive Cruise Control engaged, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.
Under certain conditions, the accelerator pedals fails to provide propulsion when depressed. The most common scenario in which this happens is when leaving a parking area and proceeding onto a roadway, especially if the parking area is elevated above the street slightly. The driver depresses the accelerator pedal slightly to move the car from a standstill, but then releases the accelerator due to the slight downhill, or transition onto the roadway. When the accelerator pedal is depressed again, nothing happens. Often the pedal will travel all the way to the floor with no result. Or sometimes, the engine/transmission "catches" and an abnormally large amount of power results in spinning tires. In any case, this is extremely dangerous, and has nearly caused accidents with oncoming traffic when pulling out onto busy streets. It happens fairly reliably, approximately 70% of the time when depressing the accelerator pedal more than once. I have not sought dealer service on this yet but will be in the coming weeks.
The front camera is malfunctioning creating the following warnings and preventing safety systems from working properly: 1. Lane Keeping Assist Problem 2. Collision Mitigation System Problem 3. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem 4. Auto High-Beam Problem 5. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem In addition, the "Brake Systems" light is on. This issue not only prevents safety features from functioning, but may mask other issues since the "Brake systems" light remains on at all times. The vehicle has recently undergone the recall repair work for the MOST FAKRA Service Cables. No other mechanical issues were detected by the Honda dealership or an independent Honda certified mechanic.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that a message indicating the power liftgate failure was displayed, and 2-3 days later, the power liftgate failed to open as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that water intrusion in the power liftgate control module had caused the liftgate to fail to operate as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 32,700.
Power lift gate control module has shorted out due to water leak somewhere on my van. Board has visible water damage. Tailgate won’t open or shut at all. Has to be done manually from inside the vehicle through trim opening on rear tailgate.
The engine starts to stall. It’s scary. It slows down to 0 and when you step on the gas it doesn’t want to go. We bought this van last year and it’s done it since we bought it. I’ve read that Honda knows it’s a problem but there needs to be a recall before someone dies in an accident.
While moving at a very slow speed, 2-3 mph, then pressing the accelerator, the car hesitated to find the proper gar while the engine accelerated. When gear is found, car, suddenly jerks forward to catch up with engine speed. This throws passengers backward, jerking their necks. Local Honda dealers “ are unaware any problem exists.”
Over 20 times our van has breaked when it was not needed. This usually happens when going up a hill and turning, or when a car slows but not enough to need to break. In several instances we have almost been rear-ended due to the sudden breaking. We try to turn off the service, but it has to be turned off each time. With the amount of traffic we have in the area, this is very dangerous.
The van was parked in the garage. I used the fob to open the sliding door on the drivers side. It stopped, got stuck. I pressed the button to open and close it in the vehicle and it started to move. And then I heard glass crunching. The door fell off the track and broke the window.
On June 16, 2023 When I got in my van and turned on, about 8 different system failure lights started singing and light up across my dashboard. I proceeded to drive it and it drove fine most of the time but then it would misfire or loose power. I took to a mechanic who plugged unit to read all the codes it was displaying. The ones that showed were P0300-P0306 and P219B. The mechanic pulled up and saw an extended warranty from Honda had been issued for my type of van, 2019 Honda Odyssey Touring. I called Honda to make appt to get fixed and was told that my VIN wasn’t included in the extended warranty. My van is displaying the exact issues the extended warranty covers and is clearly in need of the corrective actions listed by Honda. My gas mileage has been greatly affected and my and my children’s safety. When driving it will loose power and become very jumpy. When it looses power, there are times I’m going 50-60 mph and it’s dangerous because I suddenly drop speed and could potentially be hit. There have been codes in the past that have come on and when checked they signified dirty fuel injectors and cylinder misfires. The warning messages would go off just as randomly as they appeared. This time it’s different and the lights have stayed on. I am pleading with NHTSA to please consider including my VIN/van in a safety recall. This is an issue that Honda should address to all 2018-2019 Honda Odysseys and not just the few it knows about. The fuel injector machining process is clogging the inside of the injectors. Honda knows this. It’s dangerous to those of us who purchased their vehicles.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while her grandchild was seated in the third-row driver-side seat, the seat belt became twisted around the waist and he became stuck in the seat belt. The contact unbuckled the seat belt but the seat belt failed to retract and loosen the child from the restraint. The child began to scream in pain as attempts to loosen the belt made it tighter. The contact called the authorities who sent the fire department to assist; the fire department was forced to cut the seatbelt to release the child. The child sustained red markings around his waist but did not need any medical assistance. The dealer and the manufacturer were both notified of the failure but neither provided any assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
Passenger sliding door automatically closes intermittently while opening has been an ongoing issue at one point closed on my youngest daughters leg smashing between door and door jam. Understanding it opening while closing because something was in its path but not closing during the point operation. This is been reported to the dealership many times also gave them a video of it happening, told if we don’t see it we can’t fix it.
I am not getting recalls done at Autonation Honda because they tell me that Honda has not been providing rear view camera. This has been going on for 2 years. Honda does not care for its customers! I went to Autonation Honda 3 times - 25 January 2023, 25 April 2022 and 28 December 2022. Even today (5 August 2023), I am told that Honda still has no parts. Honda used excuse of COVID for long time and has been selling its vans without any shortages. This is height of carelessness from Honda. So, I want to lodge complaint against Honda for the negligence of its duty. Thanks.
The original tires on this car needed to be changed around 20k miles. I asked the dealer to align it in 2021 after getting new tires. I barely put 8k miles per year on this minivan. Recently when I went for a rotation I was told that they are wearing unevenly. I went to get an alignment and was told that the rear driver Camber was out of spec and the rear passenger toe was out of spec. The problem is that you are unable to make those adjustments on the rear. This means that it came like this out of the factory and is rapidly wearing tires on the vehicles. I did a search online and found other people from 2019 model years who experience this issue. I had the knuckle on the passenger side replaced for $900. But then found out about the drivers side toe being out of spec. I find this abominable that the car came from the factory out of spec in the steering/suspension. There's no way i could have hit something hard enough to knock it out of spec without there being other damage to the car. I would like honda to reimburse me the cost and to fix the steering knuckle for the rear drivers side. I also would like a safety notice issued to people that their tires may wear rapidly due to inability to adjust camber/toe on the rear. I only noticed now when i go to get the tires aligned. Its been 5 years i had the car.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission failed to properly shift into gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that the solenoids needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
My Idle Stop feature on the car has become very unreliable. After the car enters the stop state, waking up the car has the following difficulties: Almost regularly, the start up process causes the car's audio and electrical to glitch and will put a warning on the dashboard that the collision mitigation system has been engaged. A few times now, the car has simply not woken up from the idle stop state, and the console will tell me to put the car in park to restart, but the shifter won't do anything. I've had to open the driver's side door to reset the electronics, close the door, and then hold the brake and push the start/stop button to get the car to restart.
The mirror has become detached on the drivers side. The same issue that has been reported as a recall for 2020-2022 Honda odyssey. My vehicle is 2019 and has the same issue. It is not bonded properly. It is a safety hazard. The dealership said I need to pay to have it replaced. However it should be that my car is included in the recall.
On 7/24/2023, my 2019 Honda Odyssey hesitated on start but did eventually start after a 5- second delay. After 6 miles on road, the car began to hesitate, choked, decelerate on its own even with foot on gas petal, and finally won't move an inch. The following warning lights were triggered: Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Emissions System Problem, Power Steering System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, and also To Start Engine: Brake + Push. The 2019 Honda Odyssey was towed to the Honda Dealer near me. They kept the car overnight and it stalled and died on them too. The dealer said the fuel pump needs to be replaced. I collected my memory and recall the car has experienced jerky moments at times lately. This strike me as a prematurely dead fuel pump as fuel pumps are designed to last at least 100,000 miles of the life of the car. I found out that there was a fuel pump recall in 2021 but I did not receive any notification. With a prematurely dead fuel pump and my experience, I believe this car should be part of the recall as the defect may be more widespread, affecting more than just what the Honda manufacturer has recalled. Furthermore, this is my third Honda, but this has brought many problems causing me to have called AAA 4-5 times so far and towed twice in the last couple of years.
THE DOOR OF MY 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS MALFUNCTIONED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. UPON OPENING THE DOOR, IT IMMEDIATELY CLOSES WHEN ON AN INCLINE OR DECLINE AND WILL NOT STOP EVEN WHEN A CHILD IS IN THE WAY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS I OFTEN PICK MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL OR CAMP ON A SLIGHT HILL AND WHEN THE TEACHER/COUNSELOR PUTS THEM IN THE CAR, THE DOOR CLOSES ON MY CHILD. I ALSO HAVE DIFFICULTY CLOSING THE DOOR WHEN ON ANY TYPE OF HILL. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE ISSUE. HONDA SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT THE SLIDING DOOR WAS ONLY DESIGNED TO WORK ON FLAT SURFACES, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS.
Brakes: there are several manufacturer communications on investigating brake vibration/judder, but it seems nothing has come from it. I have noticed this problem since owning the vehicle. The problem typically happens when on a downhill slope. Even light and smooth application of the brakes will cause a judder. It feels as if the brakes are being pumped on/off resulting in inconsistent braking action, but the pedal is held steady. It is an alarming feeling, but I can guarantee it will happen on a specific hill as I turn into my neighborhood. Another driver complained of the same downhill braking concern. It is something I have learned to live with, but that shouldn’t be the case. Why is there a feeling of brake pressure release and reengaging with a steady brake pedal? Maybe it’s the transmission causing it…: Transmission: the software with this 9 speed transmission is abysmal. The tech bulletin that was posted merely resets the software. What we need is a software update, or better yet, a removal of the “adaptation to customer’s driving pattern.” You know what changes? My driving pattern. And my wife’s, who also drives the car. You know how a car should adjust its shift points? The accelerator depression and rate of depression! This transmission feels like it is about to fall out of the bottom of the car on multiple occasions. I’ve never driven a car with a worse automatic transmission shift response. My first automatic was a 1985. Not only does it sound like internal damage to the transmission during hard shift, but many times it leads to poor response to move the vehicle away from traffic. Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), has a high chance of causing significant damage to power train components with a negligible return in fuel economy. Thanks, Honda…eyeroll.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that after picking up the vehicle at the dealer, the contact examined the vehicle and the rear passenger’s side sliding door opened and failed to close securely. The vehicle was diagnosed but no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 115,000. The VIN was not available.
There was no warning display on car today during the incidents. I pressed the breaks and with my foot on the breaks the car accelerates 3 times. I had a car in front of me which is why I stopped but no no one behind me to trigger the car to propel me forward 3 times despite my foot on the brakes. This is second time it does this. I took it in right away to the shop. The first time was a a couple of months before (May 2023) but I had a car behind me so I figured the car took over to avoid a bump in back…but again my foot was on the brakes. And I had a car in front and In back, which could have caused an accident in front. Weird acceleration All the time: When you are at a stop and try to accelerate, the car stalls and then accelerates abruptly. Very dangerous when you have drivers behind you and in front. Collision Mitigation warnings keep popping up since 2022, but shop could not see the issue because the display disappears. It pops up randomly and disappears.
The passenger slider door does not close, it will sometimes close when the car is off. You must turn car off and manually shut for it to close.
5 warning lights including automatic headlights, breaks, adaptive cruise control, lane mitigation, and collision mitigation warning lights are on
When stopping or yielding at an intersection or pulling out into traffic, the car will have a dead gas pedal, and the car will not accelerate. Three seconds later, the car will accelerate abruptly creating a hazardous situation.
Van just randomly wouldn't start, has nothing to do with battery. I was told it was the fuel pump, saw a recall for fuel pump. Looked up to see if my vehicle was under the recall, but it said it wasn't.
I was driving my vehicle, slowing down to turn left, when my car shifted into neutral all by itself. The satellite radio went off and the collision warning appeared on the dash. This could have happened on the highway and I could be dead. I called the Markley Honda Dealership here in Fort Collins however their service department was closed for the day. I plan on calling them first thing Monday morning. Also, the heated seat problem appeared on the dash 5 days ago and it works just fine.
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
This is for the 9 speed transmission. Frequent erratic shifting first and/or possibly second gears. Engine revolutions increase and then gear engages with lurch or tire sqweek. One incident (and only one) of unintended acceleration after mid-range gear change on expressway without cruise control active or foot on gas pedal. Occasional clunk noise at mid-range shift. I do not use ECON mode. I have never used the paddle shifters. 2019 Honda Odyssey EX, currently about 27K miles. The vehicle is operated above 5K feet altitude and frequently above 9K feet altitude. Often in the same day. At last dealer visit, service tech indicated that there were no recalls or bulletins. The transmission was not serviced. My next transmission service is recommended for 30K miles. I subsequently made local service rep aware of California based class action lawsuit for these issues and I was passed to service manager. He indicated that he has no fix. I called Honda corporate service and I disconnected the call when the representative asked for a detailed log of incidents, which I cannot provide. My last inquiry to local dealer service tech about installing the 10 speed transmission (available in a higher trim level in 2019) in place of the 9 speed has gone unanswered. I originally thought that these issues affected only my van until I read about other experiences on the internet. The unintended acceleration concerns me.
Twice reported transmission issues to dealer. They suggested changing transmission fluid, so we did. Issue did not resolve. Check engine light came on. Car won’t shift gears.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while his father-in-law was refueling the vehicle, the passenger’s side air bags deployed without warning or impact. There were no warning lights illuminated. There were no reported injuries. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
We bought the van used. We were on a road trip and the speakers started crackling and popping. Also the audio will just cut off completely and can be fixed by turning off the power to the audio and turning it back on quick. It will work for a little bit but will cut out again. We tried different devices and different cords for the problem but it hasn't fixed the issue.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey regularly hesitates from the stopped position or when quick acceleration is needed on the highway. This causes a safety hazard when making turns into traffic because I am not able to accelerate for approximately 1 second before I am able to increase speed. It is a known mechanical defect with Honda and they do not currently have a resolution. I reported this problem to my dealership and was told that this is "just how the Honda 9-speed transmissions are designed" and there is no fix. Not only does this cause performance issues, there have been several close calls when I have made a turn into traffic and when I have had to accelerate to make a lane change on the freeway.
On February 1, 2023, I broke the side view mirror off the passenger side door while backing into my parents driveway (the mirror hit a bush on the side of their house). Called Honda dealership and ordered (and paid for) replacement part on Feb 2, 2023 - was told the part should be in within a few weeks. By approximately February 20th, the part was still not in, and the dealer had no ETA. So I opened an inquiry with Honda. On/around February 27th, I was told by my customer service rep Nikki that my part was upgraded to critical backorder, but that there was still no ETA. However, I was #6 in the queue to receive the part. Case number is 13648719. Called Honda multiple times over the next few weeks, eventually being told on/around March 5th, that the part was 'released' to the dealership on March 3. On March 14th, I called the dealership and demanded my money back on the part, until it arrived. Dealership agreed. Honda never was able to determine what happened with the part, because as I was told 'there's a global parts shortage, and it's the suppliers responsibility for the part, not Honda's'. In late March, was told that Honda would follow up via email weekly on part updates. I have received 3 emails so far from Honda simply stating that the part was still on backorder, and there is no ETA. All the while, my wife has been driving around with a duct taped on mirror, not angled in the best position for viewing. This is not an old vehicle, getting a part should not take 3+ months
driving at slow speeds through a neighborhood (20-25mph), my car seemed like it tried to change gears and it downshifted and lurched us forward. it was as if i slammed on the brakes almost causing us to get rear ended. this lurching has happened many times and is now an unavoidable event. From my research this is a common problem!
Our approximately 50,000 mile Odyssey died while driving on Mar 25, 2023. Thankfully the vehicle was only going about 10 MPH as I was pulling up to a stop sign. First failure notice was “emissions system problem” and then every error available to the system flashed after that. Would not restart. Towed to dealer and found no fuel pressure and fuel pump failure. I was never given notice of the fuel pump recall and this website says all my recalls are complete. Clearly there was an issue with the fuel pump. The replacement fuel pump is on back order with no ETA for availability. Vehicle has sat at the dealer for 4 weeks with no estimate for when it will be available for us. I speculate that Honda hasn’t told everyone about the fuel pump recall in the hopes that the pumps don’t disintegrate in the tanks while driving because they mismanaged their supply chain. Could be months before a “like-new” vehicle is drivable again.
Noticed that a check brake system light came on briefly and then when I stopped at a traffic light, the engine shut down as it is supposed to, but when I lifted my foot off the brake, the car didn't restart and I was stranded in the lane (busy road). Pressed the Engine button, but it wouldn't restart. After about 5 minutes (while I called AAA) I tried again and it restarted. Very dangerous - I see multiple other people had the same experience. AAA came to my house and the battery, alternator, and starter all tested good.
The rear power lift gage has stopped working due to leaking in the rear of the van. Per online threads, this is a common issue and should be a recall as so many issues have happened to other with this same problem.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact received recall notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V438000 (Back Over Prevention), however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced the failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Has known, but unresolved, 9-speed transmission problem. Occasionally, unexpectedly on take-off engine revs up before engaging first gear resulting in tire squeal and leap forward. This could, and probably will, result in a collision with car in front at stop signs for i.e.!!!! Please hold Honda responsible for resolving this dangerous situation. Keep me posted of any corrective actions, recalls, notifications, etc. Thank you very much.
The dealership discovered a short in the electrical harness tha controlled the radio and navagation system. I was concerned about a fire. Obviously a problem from installation. This problem cost me over $2200 to replace the hardness. I purchaced the van with the problem over a month ago.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while pulling out onto the roadway, the accelerator pedal was released and then depressed and the vehicle suddenly stalled. After waiting for several seconds with the accelerator pedal depressed to the floorboard, the vehicle jerked and then move forward. The contact stated that several times the brake pedal had to be depressed several times. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure persisted while driving at various speeds. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while in Eco Mode, the vehicle hesitated without warning while accelerating from a complete stop. The contact notified dealer of the failure and informed him that there was a failure with the software; however, there was no repair for the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
I have been unable to complete recall of rear camera repair.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM: vehicle hesitates at times when stepping on gas pedal and then just blasts off. When entering a roundabout after a standstill, the power is not there, oncoming traffic is still advancing. First reported and assesssed on 5/19/20 with software update performed. Issue has never been resolved completely. No warning lamps or messages ever appeared.
False seatbelt latching during cold weather. I ALWAYS wear my seatbelt. When the weather is cold, I will buckle up,hear an audible click, and tug on the seatbelt, but every so often it will become unlatched as I am driving (2-3 times per week.) Seems ok once vehicle warms up and in warmer weather.
Several times when I ja e pushed the gas to try and hurry to go the van will stall and won't go almost cause me to get in an accident each time. The last time(1/16) I actually had passengers in my van and it scared the crap out of them and me. It seems like when I punch the gas pedal it isn't getting the gas to go right away. I had it checked out at a Honda dealership but they said the van didn't do what I was explaining. It doesn't do it all the time, however if it wasn't for the grace of God and me having a quick reaction to hit my brake after the van hesitates to go, I and some other people either wouldn't be alive right now or would be severely injured.
When I try to accelerate it won’t go sometimes! It hesitates until it just blasts off. Emissions System Problem
The rear view camera sometimes stops working when backing up. Even if you go in park and go to hit reverse button again to "reset" it will still be a black screen. In a van, its difficult already driving a larger vehicle and adding the fact that you can't see when backing out of a spot or when going out of a drive way or even into a driveway, increases room for error or injury. This has been an issue over the past couple years and my Honda dealership has said there is a delay in the part but that it has been "ordered" for a long time now. Last time they "re ordered" was October 2022. I checked on part again while at the dealership January 2023 and it has still "not arrived" so they are unable to fix it. No warnings appeared on the vehicle just a black screen. They did a "factory reset" when I took it in January to reset other delay features with the screen and issues with the sound. I explained that there is a recall on rear view camera and a warranty for 5 years or 60k miles (whichever comes first) for the audio. I am at 56k miles, and they said to "watch it" to see if it does it again. Unacceptable.
The low pressure fuel pump has failed. Honda has issued recall #21V215000 in March of 2021 regarding this issue on almost a million vehicles. My vehicle has failed, leaving me without transportation in the winter. Thankfully the car just failed to restart and I wasn't in traffic but this could absolutely happen to others (as described in the recall) so it is apparent that Honda was not genuine in their attempt to fix this problem as there are obviously other models in the year & model range they recalled that are being exempted from the recall that are destined to fail.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the driver's side third-row seat belt had detached; however, the buckle was still intact. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
I have a CMBS issue. Nothing around that would trigger it just driving through an intersection and the CMBS came on and basically just stopped the car for no reason. I get these "BRAKE" messages mostly when the car in front of me is turning right and the Odyssey doesn't think I slow down enough. I know the car is turning, the Odyssey doesn't. I've also had it come up a couple times while going around a curve, I think it detected the oncoming traffic as being in my lane and it told me to "BRAKE". I have video files to prove from my dash cams but I could not upload these files here. Honda dealer misdiagnosed to replace power distribution module but it did not fixed and I found other Honda vehicles has the same CMBS issue. Hoping you got some resolution. Thanks.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that she was involved in an accident and that the grille shutter malfunction warning alarm and "power down" message were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic shop, where it was diagnosed that the distance calibration sensor needed to be replaced and that the vehicle was inoperable. The vehicle remained at the mechanic's shop awaiting the parts for the repair, which were on backorder. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failure and was advised to file a complaint with the NHTSA hotline. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unknown.
Right sliding door will not fully close. It gets a few inches from being closed, then reopens all the way.
The car shuts off when stopped at intersections. We have taken the car to Honda several times and they have been unable to find any problem with it. The message we get is "The system has lost power. Push and hold the power button for more than two seconds to enable the system."
There is often an acceleration hesitation, I have taken the vehicle to various Honda dealers and received no answers of what may be causing the acceleration to be delayed. Coming from a complete stop and trying to pull out and make a left or right turn with oncoming traffic the vehicle doesn't accelerate immediately risking a chance of me being hit by oncoming traffic. I am also teaching my daughter to drive, and we were nearly hit by a car because the van stalled when she was making a left turn. After it fails to accelerate it then takes off at a very high rate of speed causing the wheels to peel off. At some point I feel like this defect is going to cause an accident or something worse. I just pray the issue is addressed before it happens to anyone. There is no warning light, or messages that indicate there is a problem. This problem is ongoing but not consistent on a daily basis it just happens often and randomly ,and has been going on for almost 2 years now.
After driving for over 20 minutes this occurred. Driving down the highway my car had transmission code alert lost speed had to pull over. Turned off car then back on still had alert. For safety reasons I had to drive the car off highway with RMPs going up as I drive. I had the Car towed to a Honda dealership who said dead batter which erased codes and sensor was changed. Got the car back and I had an incident trying to cross traffic where I stepped on gas and it would not go at a normal speed until loud shift and it kicks in. Then another incident driving down highway in Atlanta traffic. Been driving for over an hour, took my foot off the gas due to construction. When I pressed the gas again no gas/speed. The speed kept dropping. No Alerts. Speed dropped to 40mph then a loud shift sound and the car started to regain speed. I am very concerned for my safety. Went back to Honda dealership and they are telling me nothings wrong with the car and no codes.
I have had my 2019 Honda Odyssey in for transmission problems on 3 occasions. The first two times were because of rough shifting with clunking and jerking when upshifting. The mechanic drove with me and after several upshifts with jerking and clunking did, finally, admit that it was rough upshifting. However, when I picked up the vehicle, I was told that nothing was wrong, but that they did download some software to help. I did not help. They said they couldn't address transmission problems unless the failure was experienced by their mechanics. A month later, I was driving about 60-65 mph, on a local highway, in heavy traffic, when the transmission slipped back to a low gear and stuck there with the engine racing. There was nowhere to turn off and cars and trucks were honking at me as I tried to pull over. (It was a very dangerous situation and my handicapped husband was with me. We were both very scared.)I was finally able to pull over into a parking area. but the car wouldn't shift down to neutral when I came to a stop. I called the Honda Dealer and asked if I should have it towed there. He said, "No, when this happens, just turn off the engine and then turn it back on again and see what happens." I did and the transmission acted normally again. I took it into the dealer the next day. They gave me a rental car so they could check it overnight, but returned it to me saying that they detected nothing wrong. I told them that there was something very wrong with the transmission and that I was reluctant to drive it. They replied that nothing could be done unless they witnessed the failure firsthand....the frantic phone call I made for help didn't count as evidence. I think they are hoping my warranty expires before the transmission goes....and It will go!
The vehicle often judders/stutters when accelerating (almost seems like it is buckling), especially when going from low speeds to higher. On occasions, when accelerating, juddering has caused the vehicle to leap forward. This has been happening ever since purchase of the brand new vehicle from the dealer; however, it appears to be occurring more frequently now (at 40,000 miles). We have mentioned this to the dealer and they only recommended a transmission flush. We are concerned both about safety and the durability of the vehicle itself (which was a pretty expensive purchase). On researching this further, it appears that several other owners have been complaining about similar problems.
On Sunday while driving on North Gayton Road at 45 MPH the car started making a terrible sound almost like one makes when overheating and there was a popping type sound. I looked at the dash and it showed a large red "P" which I initially thought was an error code of sometype. I quickly pulled over into the next available turn and noticed when I stopped that the electronic gear shift was in Park and not Drive. That was what the big red "P" was on the dash. It had tried to shift into Park while we were driving. It scared us to death. It has had other minor erratic electrical type problems. The flashers will suddenly be on when no one was near that button, or we will be driving down the road on a bright clear day and the wipers will come on briefly and then usually turn off after a few wipes. I do not know if it is the prom, or the computer, or a short somewhere. This morning it says the battery is low, but it is a brand new battery. We have 67196 miles on the car.
When stopping at an intersection multiple times the idle stop turns the car off and the vehicle refuses to start again and all electronics stop working until the vehicle is turned off completely and the driver door is opened. Does not happen all the time so can't consistently reproduce to have a service center confirm. Vehicle has been inspected during other recall repairs and I was told the repairs being done would not fix that issue.
Hesitation of the transmission, the car doesn't go or hesitates. According to the dealership this is "normal" for this type of transmission. This is not normal for a vehicle and if this is "normal" for this type of transmission, there is something wrong with it. I've been lucky that an accident hasn't occurred, but I've been scared it would on multiple occasions. This happens typically in stop and go traffic.
The auto engine stop feature left me stranded when the engine died. I pulled up to a traffic light and the engine cut off and wouldn’t start automatically when I let my foot off the brake. Also wouldn’t start when I tried manually starting it. Had battery and alternator tested. Both tested fine. Car finally started later. Seems to be ok if you disable the auto shut off function.
Three months into purchasing a brand new 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L my car would not start. I was told my battery was drained/bad cell, due to the weather being too cold and all the electrical components of my vehicle. We lived in South Georgia and my van is kept in a garage. I was given a new battery at the beginning of 2019 and now in 2022 I’m told I need another AGM battery because mine is dead. I’m told by the dealership they can’t diagnose the problem exactly, but they are 75% sure this is the issue causing my van not to start, unable to be jump started, code P0600, warning lights stating emissions system problems, break system failure, anti-lock break system failure. Outside of Honda I’m told something is draining my battery, but Honda takes no responsibility and it’s out of pocket for a new $240 battery, which may or may not be the issue. Looking online at customer reviews, I’m not the only person with this issue. MANY MANY MANY Honda Odyssey owners have complained of the same issues and nothing has been done by Honda. My vehicle slammed on breaks driving down the interstate at over 70 MPH while my family was in the car. My doors stop closing if I start the car while the doors are mid-close, it will tell me to apply break while shifting to park even when the break is applied. There is an electrical issue within the Odyssey that needs to be addressed and recalled. These vehicles are too expensive to be malfunctioning and needing replacement parts after 3-4 years. I drove my Toyota to over 350,000 miles and never changed a battery.
This has happened twice so far. Car has been driven for awhile, come to a stoplight, auto idle engine kicks in and car shuts down. Car display says press brakes and hit starter to turn car back on. I am essentially stopped at a light unable to move. I am on my 3rd battery for my 2019 Odyssey. I have taken to dealership for diagnostic and they're unable to replicate.
While driving, if I don't make a complete stop (say at a yield sign), and I accelerate, there is a 1-2 second gap between when I press the pedal and the van actually goes. This can happen while fully stopped, while yielding, or even while getting onto the highway. Taking it back to the dealer has yielded only firmware upgrades to the software and recommending a $400 transmission flush. This happens more frequently while in economy mode, but also happens in sport mode. This has been going on for about a year now. The dealer has stated there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, but if I ever have to suddenly accelerate it could mean I will get into an accident.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V438000 (Back Over Prevention) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
The sensor on the passenger sliding door failed to work when the engine was on. Once the engine was off, the sliding door would close. The problem was reproduced by a Honda dealer service and while they were checking with the extended warranty to see if the sensor would be paid for, they let me take the van home for regular use. The next day, the door would not close with or without the engine on. We were not home and we could not leave the van in the parking lot or drive home with the door open, with our two young boys in the middle row in their carseats. My husband stood outside with the van for about 15 minutes until the door finally closed and the rear passenger window shattered. The safety of our family was put at risk due to the loose glass shards and due to the fact that the door was no longer functional. The vehicle was inspected by an agent from Louisiana Dealer Services today and they deemed that the broken window and track are due to damage and will not be covered under the extended warranty. There were no warning signs of a broken sensor before, during or after this incident.
Jerks when downshifting and upshifting. Has been a problem since the vehicle was purchased new off the lot. Is dangerous because of the jerking. Also noticed a clunking noise when transitioning.
When I come to a complete stop and the start/stop motor goes into idle mode (shuts the engine down), I have a problem that occurs after it. It is unpredictable but when I come out of the idle and the engine is supposed to kick back on, my minivan stalls out. This has happened in heavy traffic areas and it takes 30 seconds to a minute to get the van to turn back on as the electrical system malfunctions. Big safety issue that can be scary in the moment. There are error messages that come up on the dash including "Collision Mitigation System Problem", "Brake System", and the center console system will restart. This problem doesn't happen when I disable the start/stop motor as it doesn't go into idle-stop mode. I have read through online forums recently and it appears this issue has happened in other Honda models dating back to 2016 models. This is clearly an issue across years/models and needs to be addressed. The local Honda dealership said they haven't heard of this problem and couldn't replicate. Therefore, there was no repair provided.
The passenger side, rear sliding door does not engage in the locking mechanism. It intermittently lacks securely latching. In looking into the door, it appears that the actuator is not engaging properly. Upon researching this for a few minutes, I do see that there were recalls on 2018-2019 Honda Odysseys (as well as other models of Hondas). My car is a 2019 Odyssey. I have called Honda about this issue and they do not acknowledge this recall in regards to my VIN. Service Bulletin 18-128 in Nov. 2018 I do not understand the method used to determine which cars are impacted by the recall, or rather how mine is not (yet) included when I clearly have a faulty door latch which can potentially harm my children and other passengers. The door has automatically reversed from opening to closing halfway through and has come very close to hurting my daughter. Please get me a recall notice/repair notice (online would be fine!) asap so that I can get this taken care of immediately. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2018/RCRIT-18V795-2903.pdf Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
My van regularly hesitates from the stopped position. This often causes a safety hazard when turning right into traffic or making a left turn because I am not able to accelerate for several seconds and the vehicle feels as if it is stalling out. It is a known mechanical defect with Honda and they do not currently have a resolution. When reported, I was told the mechanical system defects to switching through all the gears before accelerating, causing the delay. I have brought the car into the dealership once regarding the issue and have been dealing with Honda headquarters with no resolution. Not only does this cause performance issues, there have been several close calls when I try to accelerate entering highway or making sharp turns
Brought the car in to get fixed for a static issue on the stereo. And it would no longer beep when getting close to a object backing up
Transmission stalled when the vehicle was in drive in the middle of the road. Wouldn't accelerate or move. I put my entire family in the car at risk of 6 people and those on the road as my car completely stopped driving. Went to Honda dealership was told faulty Transmission. They could not cover any of the repairs! It's a 3 year old vehicle with a faulty Transmission. No lights or warnings came up until the Transmission stalled out of no where.
HI , I am getting mails from HONDA corporate on my vehicle for a faulty rear view camera as per ( Federal motor vehicle safety standard No 111, "Rear visibility " . This was mailed in SEP 2020 and now i received the 2nd notice . I have been chasing up honda dealers ( Honda of Turnersville and burns Honda ) to fix the issue , every time these dealers keep mentioning that they don't have spare parts or remedy to fix the issue. Its been 2 years , So far there is no resolution and i feel these vehicles are not safe on roads while pulling the vehicle back . I have reached HONDA corporate also to register my complaint and they mentioned the dealers have spare parts now , But when i call dealers they always come with story that they dont have remedy to fix the issue from corporates .

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V438000 (Back Over Prevention) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the parts had been on back order for two years. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that parts were available and referred the contact to another dealer. The contact contacted a second dealer Germain Honda of Dublin (6715 Sawmill Rd, Dublin, OH 43017) and was informed that parts were still not available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
My vehicle had recall 20V-438 issued in September 2020. I recently received a followup letter from Honda informing me that I had not completed this recall. Since the recall was issued, I have attempted to schedule to have the recall completed at every service appointment I've had at my Honda dealership. Every single time (January 2021, July 2021, December 2021, May 2022), I was told parts were still not available. To have a recall open for almost 2 years without a supply of parts available to complete it is extremely frustrating. At this point, Honda should be contacting me when the parts are actually available.

This is a problem with the auto engine idle shut off. The engine shuts off normally when I come to a stop when I have the system engaged. The problems begin when I take my foot off the break expecting the engine to start up again. What happens consistently (though not all the time) is that when I take my foot off the brake, the engine shuts off, shifts itself into Park, and I have trouble getting the engine to start up again. A number of warning messages show up on the center console as well. Things like, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Brake System warnings start displaying. Sometimes, I can get the engine to start up again within 30 seconds. Sometimes, it's been more than a minute. It almost looks/sounds like the battery is dead too (makes that clicking sound and the RPM gauge jiggles around zero). My Honda service shop says they couldn’t replicate the issue, that there are no codes, and no service advisories. This started happening around 6-8 months ago and the incidents have recently increased significantly in frequency. This is a significant safety issue as every time this happens, which is now daily, I am vulnerable to being rear-ended and other vehicles are vulnerable to being in an accident by trying to go around me while I’m waiting for my vehicle to be able to restart.
Collision mitigation system problem error keeps appearing randomly on the screen!

Rear backup camera failed. There is already a recall for this problem but does not extend to all VINs.
Vehicle shifts hard in low gears creating a safety risk
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while at an intersection and attempting to make a left turn, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact waited approximately 3-4 seconds and depressed the accelerator pedal again and the vehicle responded. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,186.
Frequently the engine will stall on restart after idle stop system cuts the engine off at a light. Occasionally the stall will lead to a full reboot of the control system taking up to 3 minutes to allow a restart of the engine.
In September 2021, I started occasionally receiving the error message "Collision Mitigation System Problem" on my dashboard. It would appear and quickly disappear. At that time, my car shut itself off when I came to a full stop at traffic lights and stop signs 3 different times. The car would boot back up, but it happened to me in the middle of intersections. I took the vehicle into the dealership and they told me it was the battery. I had the battery replaced, but with time, the "Collision Mitigation System" error reappeared along with other messages, "Engine Management System Problem" and "Road Departure Mitigation Problem." During this time, my car would brake on its own occasionally, happening 6 times in total, when there was no threat of a head-on collision. Three of these incidents happened in the middle of intersections with cars all around me and in one instance, my car come to a screeching halt on its own making me terrified that the car behind me was going to crash into me. The last straw was as I was driving to my child's school and when I came to a curve in the road, my steering locked up completely, not allowing me to turn with the curve. I was able to slam on my brakes and keep myself from crashing, but it was very dangerous. At the same time, the same error messages were flooding my dashboard. That is when I drove my just 3 year old car back into the Honda Dealership and told them they must fix this before I put my child back into that car, and my car still sits there. The dealership informed me that my Collision Assistance Camera that is integral to the Honda Sensing safety mechanisms is "faulty" and will cost me $1,500-$1,700 to repair. I see online that this is being investigated in 2017-2019 Honda CRVs and 2018-2019 Honda Accords sedans. I implore you to also investigate this same system error in 2019 Honda Odysseys. The Odyssey is a family car, but yet I am now scared to drive my family in this vehicle for fear of it causing a collision.
From time to time the automatic sliding doors (usually the driver side) would fail to close when the close button was pressed. The sliding door would move toward closing but it would bounce back to open position after traveling 2/3 of the way as if it detected an obstruction. At time it would take many tries for the door to actually close itself successfully. It happened at random occasions with no patterns.
passenger side slide door unable to open. i have older people to transport and becomes highly issue to move them to other side and get out of the vehicle. dealer charged for the issue and just manually reset coulple of days back and again it started coming. kindly address the issue.
Car has 22,000 miles. And has intermittent transmissions issues. After a stop, I accelerated thru and intersection then when I pulled my foot off the gas to slow down the car engine revved up so loud, really loud. But there was no movement. Also coming off of a stop the car doesn’t go sometimes. I have to push the gas more. If I’m on the freeway at high speeds and I release the gas because I know the traffic is slowing up ahead. The car will shift down loudly and sometimes jerk.
I purchased my 19' Odyssey in March, almost two months ago. It was used with only 19k miles. During the test drive I mentioned to the sales guy (sitting in passenger seat) a strange noise that sounded like fluttering, but only when accelerating 1k-1500k RPM. I didn't think much of it so I made the purchase. Come May 2nd I got the Oil changed (at the same dealership). I couldn't help but notice the same sound mentioned earlier, but even louder. Since then I've recorded numerous videos of the sound, also worth mentioning the speaker crackling. On Monday of this week I took the car in, showed the mechanic the video of the engine noise and speaker crackle. He mentioned he's only worked on one other odyssey with the same engine sound, resulted being the short block. After they were done, I was told by the service writer that they couldn't replicate the engine noise but did change fiber optic connectors for my speaker crackling (crackle still occurs but only on HD signal). I went over to the Service Manager and showed him the videos, we went for a drive around and heard the noise. He said to drop off the car Friday (today) and he'll have a loaner ready for me. I dropped off the van, spoke with the senior mechanic and the manager, they saw the videos and said they are going to take care of it. They wanted to test drive the car, however the sound is much louder when my car is either cold, or before reaching it's regular temps. I will attach two links to this letter that better show the problem at hand. One being my YouTube channel and the other of the forums where many others just like myself share the same problem. https://youtube.com/channel/UCuOrw9CP7Njl2O_EAF4fsFA https://www.odyclub.com/threads/rattle-noise-on-acceleration-revisited.347853/page-36
AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSING WIPERS EQUIPPED WITH ELITE MODELS DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY HINDERING VISIBILITY IN RAIN/SNOW. IT FUNCTIONS IRRADICABLY, WIPING TOO FAST WHEN THERE IS VERY LITTLE RAIN OR CONVERSELY, NOT WIPING ENOUGH WHEN THERE'S A DOWNPOUR. ADJUSTING SENSITIVITY LEVELS KNOB DID NOT AFFECT ANYTHING.

Six months or more ago, my van started acting as though it is stuck in a gear before it finally shifts to the next gear. At first is happened every once in a while, but it now happens several times every trip and always at speeds between 25-40mph. Additionally, when I press down on the gas pedal, there sometimes tends to be a delay in it responding, so I've been very careful about pulling out in traffic. But recently, it seems to be happening while the van is already in motion. And, just yesterday, when accelerating from a stop, the car lurched forward and the wheels screeched. Regarding electrical issues, just this past December, we were driving home from vacation, and as we were passing through downtown Nashville, the car suddenly lost all electrical power. As the car began to slow, my husband pumped the gas as we were on an interstate junction and had no other alternative. Thankfully, after a 10-15 seconds, everything turned back on and we continued to our way. I've owned the van since Oct 2020 and it only has 57K miles on it. We've had several Hondas over the past 25 years (this is our 3rd Odyssey), and have loved them all. But, I'm very concerned about safety as well as the money spent.
On April 14, 2022 I parked our Odyssey in the parking lot of our child care center. I went in the building and when I came out of the building (approximately 5-7 minutes later) flames were coming out of the hood near the windshield. Within a few more minutes the flames had engulfed the front half or two-thirds of the car. Prior to this incident we had no warning lamps, and zero indication of anything wrong with the vehicle. The vehicle had approximately 35,000 miles and had always run perfectly. The incident has been reported to insurance. A fire inspector came to the scene and said the damage was so bad we would likely not know the cause of the fire.
My vehicle has a problem with delayed acceleration and excessive acceleration. When releasing my foot from the brake pedal then pressing on the gas pedal, the vehicle doesn't always accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed. There seems to be a few second delay and then all of a sudden there is too much acceleration. We've reported this to our dealership several times. Several of their employees told us that this is just the nature of the 9 speed transmission. We've also reported it to Honda's corporate service and they didn't acknowledge any problems. They were plenty nice but lacked what I felt was the drive to help. Their time between my report and their follow up was terribly long. There are multiple reports of the same exact thing online so I know it's not exclusive to us. This is an absolute safety issue as the delayed acceleration can cause us to get hit from behind and also mess up our timing as we move along w/ traffic. The excessive acceleration is a safety issue in that it may cause us to hit a vehicle or something in front of us as the vehicle jolts. Overall, the vehicle is fantastic other than this issue. I've told the dealer and Honda as such. This has gone on since owning the vehicle and even this morning, 4/5/2022, with approximately 53k miles on the vehicle. Fortunately, we haven't had any accidents and I hope there is never an accident with us or any other 2019 Honda Odyssey owners....thus my reason for sending this message. Thank you for your consideration.
Minivan's transmission seems to lurch/skip while driving at lower speeds. Did it twice in a matter of seconds.
I’ve had this vehicle into the shop many times for what seems to be erratic shifting at low speeds. Each time I go they tell me they’ve done and update and the problem is not resolved.
I was driving my 2019 Honda Odyssey on the highway and it stopped suddenly in the middle of the highway. The car went to idle mode and changed itself to park gear. We had to off the car and restart it which was dangerous in the middle of the highway. This same incident happened earlier too but in a residential street. We took it to the dealership but they said they couldn’t find anything wrong. Then I heard the news story about nhtsa investigation into this problem with Honda and wanted to report my experience. This is dangerous and they need to figure out what is going on.
The multi function display froze up at beginning of the power cycle with an error message about Apple Carplay not available. All other functions of the display were also frozen out such that the front window defogger, and backup camera would not function. The frozen display lasted throughout the entire drive cycle and even remained after the car was parked for 15 approximately 15 minutes. Full function returned on the next drive cycle about 40 minutes later. Dealership confirmed that a code was stored but did not give the code. Dealership requested a $75 charge in order to update the software in the multi function device. This device is required to operate defrost and backup camera functions so expect this is a safety critical concern.
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle suddenly experienced Phantom Braking” and the vehicle decelerated to 60 MPH. The contact tapped the brakes excessively causing the sudden self-braking to cease. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.
When I look up the recalls for my vehicle https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls says "If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA". My vehicle manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy safety recall Manufacturer Recall Number W83 / NHTSA Recall Number 20V-438. I've been in communication with my dealer for over a year trying to get this fixed. Every time, including last week, they say "we can't fix that because the parts are on backorder".
When braking hard it or on hills shakes the whole vehicle bad. Has been doing this since about 10,000 miles. Was taken back to dealer for this at 12,000 miles . I have new brakes and rotors changed 3 times since. Still not right. I think it’s ABS problem or electronic brake issue
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would downshift without warning, causing the vehicle to lurch forward. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 59,500.
Driving 60mph on the highway, everything electrical shut off and on several times. The dash screen, the touch screen, the AC, the lights. I immediately took an exit and got off, and when the rebooting stopped I was going about 30mph and the car shifted by itself into park. Then there was a horrible grinding sound of metal on metal...I hit the brakes to pull off the road the car got under 20mph and stopped instantaneously. I had the car towed to my local Honda dealership and they said they cannot replicate the issue, nor see any error codes. They will not take apart anything to check for damage to the parking rod because there were no error codes...And they want me to pick up the vehicle today.
When I go to accelerate I lose power and am unable to accelerate a lot of the times. The problem is intermittent and the sales people at Nissan dealership where I bought it from can't duplicate is. I've been mentioning this issue since I purchased the vehicle. Yesterday while driving the vehicle there was a loud bang noise and I lost ALL power driving 65 mph down Parmer lane. I had to coast and make a uturn at which point some power was regained. Multiple other times while driving to the dealership the same thing happened while trying to go across traffic. It was amazing nothing happened to us. I took it to the dealership and they acknowledged there's a major lawsuit right now for that vehicle but when Honda pulls up the VIN it doesn't show my vehicle is affected.
Our car has failed to start 3 times in one week. Our battery has been throughly inspected and nothing appears to be wrong with it. We have jump-started our car in July, and twice this week. (Once yesterday and once today.) We are not sure why this is the case.
Struck a 100lb dog going between 45-48 mph. Knee airbags deployed but steering wheel and dash did not. Driver and front passenger buckles locked in wreck. Driver side back and middle row seatbelts did not lock with passengers.
There is a crackling sound coming from the dashboard. There was a recall regarding this issue, however, I took the car into have this recall fixed. The issue has persisted even after the recall fix. I took the car into the dealership 4 times since and the issue still has not been fixed. I started contacting Honda three weeks ago regarding this issue. I have left five messages with the case manager, but have not had my phone call returned. I asked for another case manager, but was refused one. The case number is 1252 9330. The phone number for Honda is 800-999-1009. The case manager's name is Corey. I don't know what to do at this time so I am contacting the NTSB for your assistance. Thank you.
AC stops working when in slow traffic and outside is over 90 deg. This is a safety issue because it’s unsafe to drive a vehicle when the inside gets too hot. This is especially dangerous for when a baby is on board. Also the transmission is poor. It lags when I step on the pebble sometimes. This is dangerous when I try to make an unprotected left turn and the car won’t go forward. That means my timing for the turn is thrown off by a couple of seconds which could make a safe turn much more dangerous.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was hesitant to accelerate and would stall on occasion. While driving, several messages regarding the braking system, emission, steering, and the engine were displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the fuel injectors, and flushed and reprogrammed the transmission module however, the failure recurred. The dealer later advised that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 3,000.
The vehicle hesitates. It chokes so badly that it is a danger to drive. I do not know if this is a result of the new transmission type or a problem with the engine. I suspect that the problem is related to the transmission because of how you reach the point where it chokes. Plus the two dealers it was sent to for repair hinted to me that the issue is the new style transmission. Here's one typical example. Sitting at an intersection waiting to turn left. If I take my foot off the brake and apply my foot to the gas pedal without hesitation it typically works fine. However, if I touch the gas, back off the pedal then hit the gas pedal again, I'm left in the intersection not moving for a few seconds. This has become critically dangerous. I have taken my vehicle to two Honda dealers within the first 10,000 miles. I explained the problem and both dealers said the exact same thing. "Yes, we hear this from all the customers with that transmission. It's normal and nothing can be done to correct it." They did nothing further for it. Since the dealer made no diagnosis of it the manufacturer will not address it. I experienced this issue from the very first day of ownership and there are no warnings.
The Emission Control System error keeps coming on and going off. This time (08/22/21) van stopped while I was driving it. The Honda Darcars in Bowie, MD has stated they will not look at the van and they can't diagnosis the problem without the system error being displayed on the van when it is brought in for service. No, the van has not been inspected yet. The Emission Control System error light comes and has come on several times, but it keeps going back off. As, mentioned before the Honda Darcars in Bowie, MD has previously stated they will not look at the van. I've contacted the Honda Corporation prior to this incident to complain about the dealer not wanting to look at the van.
As I was driving I all of sudden heard a loud bang and the sunroof/moon roof whatever it is called exploded , glass had shattered for no reason at all. I was less than 2 miles from my house when it happened, I pulled over saw the glass was broken, then came home, tried to cover with plastic as rain was coming, then I took it to the local Honda dealer as our weather forecast calls for rain , they said it is probably not covered under warranty- but it has to be as sunroofs should not explode while driving
We were leaving a car dealership to head home, my husband put our toddler in his car seat and after doing the pinch test, pulled on the chest buckle to make sure it was tight enough. When he pulled the chest buckle, it loosened both harness belts. We attempted the same scenario over 20 times and each time you could pull on the chest clip and retract both harness belts. Without pushing the button to retract. Nothing is stuck in the car seat as our child doesn't eat or drink in his seat. We uninstalled and reinstalled, opened the seat, etc and there is no issue that we could correct. Our son's life was in danger driving home last night. If we were to have gotten in an accident, the force of the crash would have jolted his body forward and loosened the harness.
Power sliding door on the right has failed to close. It will close almost all the way and the re-open back up. It has to be closed manually. The problem has been reported and fixed altogether 4 times but the problem has never been resolved. The service dates were 1) Jan 15, 2020 2) July 7, 2020 3) May 13, 2021 and 4) July 21, 2021. It would work once or twice after fixing and go back to the malfunction stage. We need to use the car and are not able to take it back every time it happens. The services were conducted at Ourisman Honda, 4800 Bethesda Ave., Bethesda, MD 20814 Tel. 301-656-1000.
I am reporting a very strange occurrence with my 2019 Honda Odyssey mini-van. I was driving on Tuesday evening and it was very foggy and I was approaching one of those large metal plates they put over a trench they dig in the road when they do construction (it covers the trench) and my car started flashing "brake" like it does sometimes when it thinks a car is in front of it. Typically, this flashes occasionally when a car gets too close, but then goes away as long as the car moves out of the way. This time, there was no car, just an open foggy road and this large metal plate on the road. However, as I got closer to the metal plate, suddenly my brakes fully locked up and the vehicle went into an emergency full stop. I was pushing on the accelerator but it would not go and the vehicle came to a complete and sudden stop. Thankfully no one was behind me, or I would have gotten into an accident. Then the vehicle started to move again and has been totally fine since. But, what is this all about? It seems the emergency braking mode kicked in but it should not have, the road was wide open and the only thing unusual was a large metal plate covering some hole in the road.
Driver side mirror shakes a lot when driving to the point that is very difficult to focus when you trying to look back when changing lanes or just as spot check.
Our 2019 Honda Odyssey transmission failed while driving my kids in early 2020. The minivan was towed to Grappone Honda in Concord, NH and the transmission was replaced. The new transmission now jerks and stutters particularly at low speeds (20-40 MPH). I am afraid it is going to fail again and place me or my family at risk for being in an accident. I took the minivan in for service on January 6th of this year and was told that the transmission was working fine. This transmission is clearly not working correctly and I am concerned we will be in an accident.
I had new brakes put on my car my brakes for less 12,000 miles ago. I took my car back in today my front left brake is cracked and the caliper was blue indicating it was getting extremely hot. I have taken my vehicle in three times for an issue with the radio because I can hear others talking but they cannot hear me. The radio has not work since I bought the car. Also, there are times when I push the gas that the car stalls for a few seconds I am very dissatisfied with the price I paid for this car and all the issues I’ve had
AUTO EMERGENCY BREAKING: Vehicle OFTEN engages emergency breaking at highway speeds when a vehicle is slightly ahead, in a different lane, and brakes while exiting the highway, and there is no danger or no vehicles directly in front of this vehicle. Other vehicles following behind me have to manually (or automatically as well) brake accordingly and this creates both a nuisance and dangerous situation. Speed Control / Transmission: Vehicle has moved forward while in "Reverse", often "surges" in speed while for a brief moment while shifting, has moved/lurched when starting the engine. THe instance of moving forward while in reverse caused a near miss in hitting another vehicle. The surging, in particular on downhills, causes the vehicle to accelerate slightly.
2019 ODYSSEY REVERSE CAMERA HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES WILL WORK ON NEXT VEHICLE START, SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW DAYS. REPORTED TO HONDA DEALER PRIOR TO RECALL IN JUNE 2020. HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 11 MONTHS FOR RECALL REPLACEMENT PART AND I AM TOLD OVER AND OVER THAT REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ETA IS AVAILABLE. ALSO HAVE TROUBLE WITH CROSS TRAFFIC SENSORS, DEALER UNABLE TO TELL ME IF THIS RELATED.
THE SCREEN ON MY VEHICLE GOES BLACK AND SHOWS "NETWORK COMMUNICATION LOST" AT RANDOM. THE SPEAKERS START MAKING A CRACKLING AND STATIC SOUND AT RANDOM AS WELL. THE SYSTEM WILL REBOOT OVER AND OVER. YOU CANNOT USE THE REARVIEW BACKUP CAMERA DURING THIS REBOOTING AND TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF DOES NOT MAKE IT START WORKING AGAIN.
GOING 25MPH. STEERING WHEEL SHOOK THEN DASH READ IN BLACK "BRAKE" WITH ORANGE BACKGROUND. VAN BRAKED ON ITS OWN. NEAREST CAR WAS 75 FEET AWAY.
THERE ARE 2 ISSUES, POSSIBLY RELATED. FIRST OF ALL, WARNING FOR COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARED AND THEN THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WENT BLANK.THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. IN THE SECOND PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED, A WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF (TOO QUICKLY TO DETERMINE WHAT IT SAID) AND THEN THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL ON IT'S OWN. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION IN BOTH OCCURRENCES.
INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SCREEN BECOMES DEAD WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THEN, IT DOES NOT COME BACK EVEN AFTER RESTARTING A CAR.
HIGHWAY DRIVING STRAIGHT ON LEVEL GROUND AT 70MPH. HIT GAS TO CHANGE LANES AND VAN SLOWED TO 55MPH BEFORE IT PICKED UP SPEED AGAIN. 1300 MILES LATER ON SAME TRIP DRIVING 60 MPH UP A SMALL INCLINE HIT GAS AND VAN SLOWED DOWN TO 45MPH BEFORE IT PICKED UP SPEED AGAIN. TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. 36,485 MILES ON VAN WHEN FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED.
TRANSMISSION IS SLOW TO GET INTO FIRST GEAR. THERE IS A NOTICEABLE AND SIGNIFICANT DELAY WHEN GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND PRESSING THE GAS TO GO QUICKLY. THIS OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY BEFORE THE ENGINE WARMS UP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY ITS JUST HOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW AND HAS PERSISTED TIL NOW WITH THOUSANDS OF MILES ON THE VAN.
THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION JERKS AND BANGS WHILE MOVING. DRIVING FROM SLOW SPEED THE CAR JERKS AND STALLS. AT HWY SPEEDS THE CAR BANGS VERY HARD - IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS BEING BUMPED. WE THOUGHT IT STALLED AT HWY SPEED AFTER IT BANGED VERY HARD. HONDA SERVICE SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING CAR FOR 2.5 YEARS - AND THE ISSUES ARE GETTING MORE FREQUENT AND HARDER.
- MEDIA/AUDIO MULTIPURPOSE SCREEN FREEZES CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF BACKUP CAMERA (WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY) - OCCASIONAL DELAY OF BACKUP CAMERA ACTIVATION (WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY) - CABIN AND SPEED CONTROL AND FUNCTIONS MALFUNCTION AND FAIL (WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY) - SLIDING DOORS FAIL TO OPEN COMPLETELY (WHILE STATIONARY) - STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS FAIL (WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY)
AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSING WIPERS EQUIPPED WITH CERTAIN MODELS DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY TAMPERING VISIBILITY IN RAIN/SNOW. IT FUNCTIONS IRRADICABLY, WIPING TOO FAST WHEN THERE IS VERY LITTLE RAIN OR CONVERSELY, NOT WIPING ENOUGH WHEN THERE'S A DOWNPOUR. ADJUSTING SENSITIVITY LEVELS KNOB DID NOT AFFECT ANYTHING.
THE NON-POWER TAILGATE ON MY 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY EX ONLY OPENS TO, A HEAD BASHING, ABOUT 5 FT 10 IN. ME, MY WIFE, AND MY 13-YEAR DAUGHTER REPEATEDLY HIT OUR HEADS ON THE LIFTGATE. THE 2019-2021 TRIMS WITH POWER LIFTGATE OPEN HIGHER THAN 6FT 2 INCHES. ALSO, PRIOR GENERATIONS (PRE-2019) OF HONDAY ODYSSEY LIFTAGTES OPENED HIGHER THAN 6 FT. WITH OUR CURRENT 2019 EX TRIM ME, MY WIFE, AND OUR 13-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER ALL HAVE TO DUCK EVERY TIME WE LOAD/UNLOAD THE TRUNK. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S NORMAL FOR THE EX LIFTGATE TO OPEN ONLY 5FT 10IN OR SO. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA CORPORATE AFTER I, AGAIN, HIT MY HEAD (WITH SCARS AND PHOTOS TO PROVE IT). HONDA CALLED ME AND SAID THAT IT IS NORMAL. I OWNED SEVERAL CARS BEFORE, HONDA AND OTHER BRANDS, AND NEVER EVER HAD AN ISSUE HURTING MY HEAD ON THE LIFTGATE. I AM 6FT 1IN. THIS ISSUE IS AN INNJURY HAZARD. HONDA NEEDS TO ADMIT TO THIS AS EITHER AN ENGINEERING OR DESIGN OVERSIGHT, OR A BAD DECISION, WITH THE NON-POWER EX TRIM LIFTGATE. THE POWER LIFTGATE TRIMS (MORE EXPENSIVE) DO OPEN HIGHER THAN 6 FT, SO CLEARLY IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I ALSO CHECKED THE 2021 ODYSSEY MODELS TODAY AT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP - HONDA DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE: THE EX NON-POWER LIFTGATE STILL OPENS AT A SIMILAR 5'10'' WHILE THE MORE EXPENSIVE EX-L POWER LIFTGATE OPENS BEYOND 6'3''. PLEASE HELP ME AND MANY OTHER EX TRIM OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. A LONG CONVERSATION HERE: HTTPS://WWW.ODYCLUB.COM/THREADS/PROBLEM-WITH-OPENING-HEIGHT-OF-TAILGATE-ON-2019-HONDA-ODYSSEY-EX.349995/ THANK YOU. MOST RECENT TIME I HIT MY HEAD WAS ON FEB/8
MY CHILDREN AND I ARE WHERE ON OUR WAY HOME ON THE THE HIGHWAY, WHEN OUR ODESSY VAN SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AS I WAS DRIVING(65 SPEED LIMIT). IT WENT FROM DRIVING TO GOING TO PARK AND SHUTTING DOWN, EVERYTHING WAS FLICKERING AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AND WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS. I GET PUSHING THE STAR BUTTON AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON UNTIL A FEW MINUTES LATER, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AND HORRIBLY AS I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.
INSIDE PANEL OF SLIDING DOOR KEEPS POPPING OFF. THIS OBSTRUCTS OPENING AND CLOSING OF DOOR. SOMETIMES THE PANEL IS SO FAR DISENGAGED THAT THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM TBE OUTSIDE DUE TO CONTACT WITH THE BODY OF THE VAN. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAS HAD NUMEROUS UNSUCCCESSFUL REPAIRS MADE BY THE DEALER.
WATER KEEPS LEAKING IN THE TRUNK. EVERYTIME IT RAINS THERE IS A PUDDLE IN THE TRUNK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WELL OVER 15 TIMES AND AMERICAN HONDA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS BEING AS RECALL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ALL OVER THE FORUM AND REDDIT AS WELL. I AM NOT THE FIRST ONE THAT HAS FACED THIS ISSUE.
EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, DRIVING UPHILL AND CHANGING GEARS AT LOW SPEEDS. HERE ARE THE SPECIFICS: SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED AND VIOLENT SHAKING AND JERKING (COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS 'JUDDERING' OR 'SHUDDERING') HESITATION WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL SURGING, CLUNKING OR HARD 'DOWNSHIFTING' ALSO AFTER A RECENT RECALL SERVICE DONE ON THE DOORS, I DID NOT NOTICE ANY CHANGE, THE DOOR DOES NOT RESPOND WELL UPON PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE, SOMETIMES IT NEEDS TO BE PULLED UPON MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOOR TO OPEN.
SUNROOF GET POPPED UP 2 TIMES IN 3MONTHS, THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY MEMBER! WHEN I REPORT TO DEALERSHIP AND HONDA ! SEEMS THEY DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAD POLICE REPORT SHOW THERE IS NO OBJECT HIT TO BODY AND IT'S JUST GLASS GET BROKE BY ITSELF WHEN DRIVE IN HIGHWAY !! IT'S VERY SCARY TO RIDE HONDA ODYSSEY 2019
DVD PLAYER WILL NOT PLAY MOVIES. DVD PLAYER GETS EXTREMELY HOT. AUDIO THROUGHOUT ENTIRE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A CONSTANT SNAPPING/CRACKLE NOISE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. PROBABLY DUE TO A PINCHED WIRE IN A HARNESS NEAR INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN OVER 35,000 MILES. SPENT $40,000 FOR A NEW VAN AND WITHIN FIRST YEAR WE NEED TO SPEND OUR MONEY TO REPAIR THEIR MISTAKE. SHAMEFUL.
THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND A KEYLESS START PROBLEM MESSAGE APPEARED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE BACK UP CAMERA WOULD NOT DISPLAY CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V438000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION). PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
BRAKES LOCKED WHEN I HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY BECAUSE DRIVER IN FRONT STARTED AND THEN STOPPED. UNABLE TO ADVANCE VEHICLE. TAPPING BRAKES DID NOT RELEASE THEM. REQUIRED THAT I PUMP BRAKE PEDDLE WITH FORCE. CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE I WAS ADVANCING FROM A LEFT TURN LANE AND WAS STUCK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STATE HWY.
A WARNING FOR COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARED AND THEN THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WENT BLANK. PREVIOUSLY HAS HAPPENED, AND AT THAT TIME WE ALSO LOST OUR POWER STEERING.
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, THE HEAD UNIT MALFUNCTIONS AND STAYS ON, ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING USED FOR APPLE CAR PLAY. IT HAS LEFT US STRANDED AND HAD TO BE TOWED ONCE, TWO OTHER TIMES, JUMPED AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES. BETWEEN 20-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DISENGAGES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, LOSES POWER, THEN 'CLUNKS' BACK INTO GEAR. IT MAKES THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS UNSTEADY, AND CAUSES UNANTICIPATED SLOW DOWNS AND SPEED UPS. ADULT PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE HAVE YELLED OUT IN CONFUSION OVER THE LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, IT SOMETIMES HESITATED TO GO INTO FIRST GEAR, AND THEN 'CLUNKS' INTO FIRST, EXPERIENCED AS A 'NEUTRAL DROP' AS IF ONE IS DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. OVERALL, THE TRANSMISSION IS CLUNKY, AND LEADS TO UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENTS, UNSTEADY FEEDBACK, AND EXTREME DISCOMFORT AND WORRY.
CAR ACCELERATES OR BUCKS WHEN CHANGING GEARS WHILST DRIVING. RETURNED CAR TO HONDA GARAGE TWICE AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO FAULT UNLESS ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. CAR HAS ONLY 14,000 MILES, FRONT TIRES HAVE WORN PREMATURELY AND CAR SHAKES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES.
FUEL CAP NOT CLOSING PROPERLY, SAFETY ISSUE MAY ARISE. MANY CUSTOMERS MAY HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM
WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY THE SPEEDOMETER AND CENTER INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM CRASHED, WENT BLACK, AND BEGAN TO RESTART SHORTLY AFTER. WHILE REBOOTING THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE GEAR CHANGING. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND HAD TO BE TOWED PER THE DEALERS RECOMMENDATION FOR SAFETY.
INFORMATION CENTER CUTS IN AND OUT. SOMETIMES THE WHOLE SCREEN IS BLACK, NO BACKUP CAMERA, NO NOTHING! IT LOCKS UP, CAN DIAL THE PHONE, OR GO BETWEEN OTHER OPTIONS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR NOW.
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 24 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY INTERMITTENTLY. A LOUD POP IS HEARD AND THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION OFTEN BY MANY CUSTOMERS, BUT THAT HONDA SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE ISSUE WASN'T APPARENT FOR THE FIRST 15,000 MILES, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS ABOUT 1 OR 2 TIMES EVERY TIME I TAKE THE CAR OUT. THIS HAPPENS TYPICALLY WHEN YOU START FROM 0, EASE UP TO ABOUT 24 TO 26 MPH, TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS FOR A COUPLE SECONDS, THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. IT WILL HESITATE, THEN POP/LUNGE. NOT EVERY TIME THOUGH. THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE IS MENTIONED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN FLORIDA AND ALSO IN NUMEROUS MESSAGE BOARDS ONLINE.
BRAKES: SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION AT 20K MILES. ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON A STEEP DECLINE. ELECTRICAL: INFOTAINMENT UNIT SHOWS NO AUDIO AVAILABLE AT RANDOM TIMES. TICKING OR "SLEET HITTING THE WINDOW" SOUND FROM DASH SPEAKERS. THIS IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. SEEMS TO COME AND GO.
WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE PICTURE FROM THE BACKUP CAMERA FROZE AND WENT BLANK. THIS HAS CAUSED A LIGHT ACCIDENT WITH BUMPER DAMAGE. BASED ON THE ACTIVE RECALLS, THIS ACCIDENT MAY HAVE HAPPENED TO TO A KNOWN DEFECT.
THE VEHICLE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM CRASHED EVEN AFTER THE SAFETY RECALL. THIS MADE THE SPEEDOMETER GO OUT FOR A SHORT TIME, AND COMPLETELY DISABLE THE RADIO, REAR CAMERA, RES, AND MOST USER CONTROLS. THE SYSTEM ADDITIONALLY STAYED ON AFTER THE CAR WAS POWERED OFF, AND WOULD ONLY TURN OFF BY PULLING THE FUSE!
ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WARNING CAME ON. STEER WHEEL LOCKED ALMOST CAUSING HEAD ON CRASH. 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 2 WEEKS WITH THIS VEHICLE.
THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM STARTED GOING BAD AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE WITHIN 2 WEEKS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE RADIO WENT OUT WITH A STATIC SOUND AND COMPLETE SYSTEM BLACKED OUT WITH "NETWORK COMMUNICATION ERROR" AND RESTARTED WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THIS STARTED REPEATING ON THE DRIVE.I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY REROUTING THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS. IT WORKED GOOD FOR ANOTHER TWO DAYS IT STARTED GETTING THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES AND THE WHOLE INFO SCREEN WENT OUT FOR MINUTES AT A TIME.I HEAR STATIC SOUNDS AND GET MESSAGES SAYING RADIO OUT AND NETWORK PROBLEMS.HONDA MENTIONED IT HAD FIXED THE ERROR AS PART OF THE RECALLS RELEASED RECENTLY AND HAD THE RECALLS DONE AND THE ISSUE BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND WORSE, THE SYSTEM GETS RESTARTED EVERY FEW MINS. AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS TO THE DEALER I DO NOT HAVE ANY SUCCESS. A CLEAR SIGN THAT HONDA HAS NO CLUE HOW TO PROPERLY AND PERMANENTLY REPAIR THE SYSTEM.
WE STARTED TAKING OUR 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY TO THE DEALERSHIP IN NOV 2019 ON RADIO/SPEAKER ISSUES. THE SAME PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST AFTER A HANDFUL OF ATTEMPTS AT FIXING WITH NEWER PARTS. THIS IS BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATING AS A CONSUMER, ESPECIALLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT A SOLUTION. WE HAVE OWNED MULTIPLE NEW HONDA'S, AND QUITE A FEW USED ONES. WE HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF IT GOING OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING, SITTING STILL, HITTING A BUMP ETC. NOW IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE IT WON'T EVEN COME ON AT ALL WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE.
MY NEW 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A VERY DISTINCTIVE ELECTRICAL STATIC/CRACKLING/HISSING NOISE COMING FROM DASHBOARD WHEN DRIVING OR IDLING THAT DOESN'T SOUND NORMAL BUT VERY CONCERNING. WILL TAKE TO DEALER BUT DON'T EXPECT MUCH SINCE I'VE READ AND RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT ANY ACTIONS FROM DEALERSHIPS. DOES NHTSA HAVE ANY ADVICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE?
THERE IS A VIBRATION WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED ON A DOWNHILL ESPECIALLY ON A 6% GRADE. BRAKES ARE FINE ON A STRAIGT NON HILL AND A MINOR DOWNHILL DESCENT.. VIBRATION SEEMS TO OCCUR ONLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED FREQUENTLY ON A STEEP DOWNHILL. VIBRATION BEGINS WITH A MINOR SHAKE THAN GRADUALLY BECOMES HEAVY ON THE SHAKE FEELING ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONTAL AREA OF VAN. THE FRONT PASSENGER EXPERIENCE THE VIBRATION AS WELL. THERE ARE 8 PASSENGERS ON BOARD INCLUDING OUR BAGGAGE - 4 ADULTS AND 3 KIDS. WE NOTICE THIS PROBLEM ONLY ON A LONG DECENT ON A STEEP HILL WHILL APPLYING THE BRAKES FREQUENTLY. WE FELT INSECURE AND HAD TO LET GO OF THE BRAKE PEDALS FREQUENTLY JUST TO PERHAPS COOL DOWN THE BARKES THEN APPLY AGAIN ON STAGGERED TIMES. WE REPORTED THIS TO A HONDA DEALER IN LOMA LINDA AND THEY SAID ITS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY NOR ON RECALL. IT WAS SO SURPRISING TO HEAR THAT BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS DILEMMA. ITS A STILL A NEW VEHICLA AND I THINK THERE SHOULDN'T EVEN HAVE THIS SORT OF PROBLEM WITH ONLY 23000 MILES ON IT AND ITS HARDLY BEEN USED . WE ONLY USE THIS FOR FAMILY TRAVELS. PEASE LOOK INVESTIGATE ON THIS PROBLEM BECASUSE APPARENTLY NOTHING HAS BEEN ISSUED TO RECALLS NOR COVERED WARRANTLY ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS ONLY LAST YEAR'S MODEL 2019!

BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 24 - 27 MPH THERE IS A QUICK JOLT THAT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS SHIFTING. THE JOLT IS REPEATABLE. WE HAVE FOUND SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS WHERE OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING. HTTPS://WWW.ODYCLUB.COM/THREADS/2019-ODYSSEY-HARD-SHIFTING-3RD-GEAR.353891/ WE TOLD OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX YET AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL AT THIS TIME. THE 10 GEAR TRANSMISSIONS OF THE SAME YEAR WERE RECALLED DUE. *TR
REAR LIFT GATE WAS NOT PROPERLY MANUFACTURED AND WAS LEAKING WATER THAT COULD LEAD TO MOLD GROWTH. ISSUE WAS TAKEN INTO SERVICE 3 SEPARATE TIMES AND DIFFERENT LEAKS WERE FOUND EACH TIME. HONDA CORPORATE PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE OR SUPPORT FOR RESOLVING THIS ISSUE AND COULDN'T EVEN FIND RECORDS OF THE COMPLAINT (I CALLED AND STARTED A CASE EACH TIME - THANK GOODNESS I MAINTAIN RECORDS ON THIS). APPARENTLY, HONDA CORPORATE HAS NO CONCERN ABOUT WATER LEAKS OR THE QUALITY OF THEIR MANUFACTURED PRODUCT ONCE IT IS SOLD TO A CONSUMER.
JOLT OR HARD SHIFT ON 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING IN LOW GEAR. HONDA SAID THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE SMART TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE TRYING TO MATCH DRIVING PATTERNS. RESETS REDUCED THE PROBLEM BUT THEY SOON CAME BACK - UNKNOWN IF THIS CAUSES LONG TERM ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION.
THE RADIO AND COMPUTER SYSTEM CRACKLES MAKE LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE WIRING RUBBING TOGETHER, COMPUTER SCREEN SHUTS OFF AND RESETS AND YOU LOSE FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR SYSTEM THAT IS CONNECTED TO RADIO, PHONES AND MAPS. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE MOTION OR STATIONARY. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AND THE ELECTRONICS IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HARE HONDA - SERVICE DEPARTMENT (8693 US-36, AVON, IN 46123, (317) 854-4791) WHERE AN UNKNOWN WIRING HARNESS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS THEN INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V066000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WORSENED. A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ON BEHALF OF THE CONTACT AND REQUESTED THAT A TECHNICIAN BE SENT TO INSPECT AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER OF THE ADDITIONAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,498.
STATIONARY VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD BY ITSELF WHEN REMOTE STARTED TWICE NOW, FIRST TIME 8"-12", SECOND TIME LURCHED 4". LAST LURCH WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO. UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE, BUT CONTINUOUSLY RECORDING EVERY REMOTE START. LOCAL HONDA SERVICE MANAGER INSISTS THIS IS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS VEHICLE." WHILE REPORTING TO HONDA CORPORATE, THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THEY DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE IN THEIR RECORDS.
THE CENTER MOUNTED INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WHICH HOUSES THE MONITOR FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA FREEZES UP AND GOES BLANK CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE CAMERON GULBRASEN KIDS TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ACT OF 2007 AND BECAME A MANDATE IN MAY 2018. THIS VEHICLE IS AT RISK AND NONCOMPLIANT WITH THIS ACT. I HAVE NOTIFIED BOTH AMERICAN HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ARE MAKING NO EFFORT TO REPLACE OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT HONDA DOES NOT VALUE THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THAT THEY ARE BEING ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO BUILD VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME CONDITION, UNKNOWN WHAT THE FIX IS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEED TO BE CORRECTED ASAP. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEMS ALSO FREEZES AND PREVENTS CONTROLS OF THE HVAC AND DVD PLAYER. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THESE ISSUES BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO FREQUENTLY.
WHILE DRIVING 25-35 MPH THERE IS A HARD SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. IT JERKS YOU FORWARD IN YOUR SEAT. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WHILE THE HEAT/AIR FAN IS ON IT CONTINUOUSLY CUTS OUT. ALSO NOTICE A KNOCKING NOISE AT TIME FROM THE ENGINE.
A BRAND NEW 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WITH 80 MILES ON IT, STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH VEHICLE'S CENTRAL DISPLAY. MESSAGE NETWORK COMMUNICATION LOST , EVEN ON SLIGHT MOVES WHILE THE CAR IS ON SMOOTH FREEWAYS. RADIO CLICKING STATIC NOISE. DISPLAY UNIT TURNS OFF AND ON SPORADICALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IN MOTION OR EVEN SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED FROM PARKING LOT. VEHICLE DISPLAY GOES BLANK COMPLETELY. CUTS OFF BACK UP CAMERA, NO RADIO, NO BLUETOOTH, NO APPS. AS MOST OF FUNCTIONS ARE CONTROLLED WITH TOUCH SCREEN FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. DEALER TRIED TO FIX IT 2 TIMES BUT NOW THEY BLAME HONDA DOES NOT A SOLUTION YET. RAISED A CASE (10281802) WITH HONDA CORPORATE BUT HONDA REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO GIVE A LOANER CAR AND SAID ITS UP TO TO DEALER TO GIVE A LOANER AS A COURTESY. I FEEL LIKE I WAS SOLD A LEMON. BOTH HONDA CORPORATE AND HONDA DEALER IS NOT TO HELP ME. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE CENTRAL DISPLAY UNIT WHICH SO CRITICAL TO THE VEHICLE'S FUNCTION. WORST PART IS RADIO CLICKING STATIC NOISE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED AS THE DISPLAY IS BLANK. ALL THE ABOVE MAKES ME FRUSTRATED THAT IT HAPPENS ON A NEW CAR AND NO ONE IS HELPING ME.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACTED STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO SWITCH TO THE CORRECT GEAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAINGER HONDA LOCATED AT (1596 CHATHAM PKWY, SAVANNAH, GA 31408) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATIC. WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION DELAYS ENGAGEMENT TO 1ST GEAR. THIS BEHAVIOR CAUSES A CLUNK TO 1ST GEAR AND SOMETIMES RAPID ACCELERATION WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE AND THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO ADDRESS BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS.
WE BOUGHT A NEW HONDA ODYSSEY VAN ON NOV 4TH 2019. IT HAD LESS THAN 700 MILES AND IS NOW DESTROYED DUE TO AN ENGINE FIRE. MY WIFE [XXX] WAS DRIVING TO WORK, WHEN SHE PARKED AT WORK SHE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. SHE GOT OUT AND CALLED 911, BUT WITHIN MINUTES THE ENGINE AREA BUST IN FLAMES AND SOON THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS ON FIRE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND ATTEMPTING DRIVE OFF, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE RPM REVVED UP BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLS HONDA LOCATED AT 8465 STATE HIGHWAY 210, BAXTER, MINNESOTA 56425, (218)-825-7525, WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.
HOLD BRAKE RELEASES AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT PRESSING ACCELERATOR
THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY THROTTLES WITH THE SPEED GOING DOWN AND BACK TO NORMAL
VAN HAS SHUT OFF WHILE BEING DRIVEN, TRANSMISSION JUMPS CONSTANTLY AT 24 MPH, RADIO GOES IN AND OUT CONSTANTLY- HAVE NO AUDIO 90% OF THE TIME, NAVIGATION RARELY WORKS, CAR PLAY RARELY WORKS, BLUETOOTH DROPS PHONE CONNECTION CONSISTENTLY, HAVE HAD REAR CAMERA FREEZE MULTIPLE TIMES
I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THEN SUDDENLY I LOST ALL POWER. THE MINIVAN AUTOMATICALLY PUT ITSELF IN NEUTRAL AND THE DASHBOARD SCREEN SWITCHED BETWEEN SAYING, "STOP DRIVING WHEN SAFE. TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SEE MANUAL" AND "TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. APPLY PARKING BRAKE WHEN PARKED." GIVEN THAT I HAD NO POWER I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I FEEL LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR DRIVE. IT WAS LOCKED IN NEUTRAL. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE CAR HAD AUTOMATICALLY PUT ITSELF IN PARK AND I WAS UNABLE TO PUT IT INTO ANY GEAR (DRIVE OR REVERSE). I CALLED HONDA ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE WHO SCHEDULED A TOW TRUCK TO COME GET THE MINIVAN. THIS LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD TWO OF MY LITTLE CHILDREN IN THE MINIVAN AND THIS EXPERIENCE WAS QUITE SCARY. BOTH ME AND MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES, PARTICULARLY IF THIS OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY.
THE NAVIGATION SCREEN STAYS BLACK. NO BACKUP CAMERA, CAN'T CHANGE THE RADIO, USE THE PHONE OR CHANGE AIR FLOW OR GET DIRECTIONS FROM THE SCREEN. SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL, OTHERS IT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. YOU NEVER KNOW, VERY FRUSTRATING. I FEEL LUCKY IF IT COMES ON WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE.
2019 HONDA EX-L HAS EXHIBITED A KNOCKING NOISE FROM IDLE TO AROUND 2000 RPM UNDER LOAD SINCE NEW. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 10,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN TO 3 SEPARATE HONDA DEALERSHIPS A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES. HONDA CAN REPLICATE THE ENGINE KNOCK, BUT HAS REFUSED TO TAKE THE ACTIONS NECESSARY TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY A 3RD PARTY ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC THAT CITED THE NOISE IS NOT NORMAL.
IN JAN2020, DURING MIDDLE OF A TWO HOUR DRIVE WITH FAMILY, VEHICLE'S ELECTRONIC TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL PANEL ALONG WITH STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS COMPLETELY FROZE, DISABLING VOICE AND/OR TOUCH COMMAND TO ACCESS DASH BOARD, APPLE CAR PLAY AND EVEN RADIO. VEHICLE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING IN THE RANGE OF 50-60 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. RESTARTING VEHICLE AT ROADSIDE STOP DID NOT RESET THE SYSTEM. I NOTICED REAR VIEW CAMERA QUIT WORKING ALSO, COULD NOT CONFIRM ABOUT OTHER ELECTRONIC SAFETY FEATURE'S WORKING STATUS. VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SEEM TO WORK FINE SO I DROVE SLOWLY HOME AND CALLED DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY. DEALERSHIP REQUESTED TO BRING VEHICLE IN HOUSE TO HARD RESET THE SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP ALSO MENTIONED THAT THEY ARE SEEING SIMILAR ISSUES IN THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. I COULD NOT GET A SATISFACTORY ANSWER IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE (TO ME IT WAS NOT VERY SAFE EVEN IF SOME/ALL SAFETY FEATURES POSSIBLY WERE WORKING?). AFTER FACTORY RESET, VEHICLE IS WORKING FINE BUT I AM REQUESTING MANUFACTURER FOR FULL ELECTRICAL CHECK UP. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE TO HAVE FULL FAMILY IN AND RISK A SYSTEM FREEZE MID DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY. SURPRISED IT HAPPENED IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE.
2/5/2020 I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC, WHEN THE MAIN DISPLAY SCREEN IN MY MINIVAN STARTED FLASHING ERROR MESSAGES. THE RADIO DISPLAY SCREEN WAS ACTING WACKY ALSO. THE VAN STARTED MAKING A LOUD RAPID 'CLICK.CLICK.CLICK." TYPE NOISE. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING, WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE DISPLAY SAID "P" FOR PARK. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MERGE OUT OF TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENED SO FAST AND WAS SO STARTLING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST AND MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP THE VAN. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT DROVE NORMALLY. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MOVED THE TOLL TAG STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD AND SAID IT WAS INTERFERING WITH THE SENSORS. 2/6/2020 I WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT, SO MY HUSBAND DROVE IT. HE WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS IT IS LOOSE CONNECTIONS AT THE BATTERY. THE NOISE IT MADE WAS HORRIBLE AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE IS PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE VAN HAS JUST OVER 5,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER 2019
ON NOVEMBER 11, 2019, I SENT MY HONDA ODYSSEY TO A HONDA DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE. EVERYTHING WENT NORMALLY. AFTER THE MAINTENANCE, I DROVE MY CAR BACK HOME. EVERY DAY, I GO TO WORK AND WORK NORMALLY. ABOUT 10 DAYS AFTER THE MAINTENANCE, THE ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY TURNS ON. AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED ON, THE ENGINE LIGHTS RETURNED TO NORMAL. EVERY DAY WHEN I WENT TO WORK, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A POOL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I WONDER IF IT WAS WATER OR OIL? I DIDN'T CARE TOO MUCH JUST AFTER FINISHING THE MAINTENANCE. IN THE STATE OF THE CAR, I DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK. AT THE END, THE ENGINE LIGHT MADE A SOUND AND I CHECKED THAT MY ENGINE OIL WAS ALMOST GONE. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE. THE ENGINE OIL THAT I JUST FINISHED MAINTENANCE WAS GONE WITHIN 20 DAYS. THIS IS TOO SCARY. THE ENGINE RAN OUT OF OIL. I HAD DRIVEN FOR SO MANY DAYS. IT'S JUST KILLING. I RETURNED THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT JUST HELPED ME FILL UP THE ENGINE OIL WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION. THIS WAY I CAN'T ACCEPT IT. PLEASE HELP ME DEFEND MY RIGHTS. WHAT CAUSES THE LOSS OF ENGINE OIL? FIND OUT LATER I'M AFRAID I'LL DIE. AT PRESENT, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE OF THE CAR SHOWS THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IS NOT ENOUGH. I CHECKED THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT PIERCING, AND I ALSO PERFORMED A LOT OF AIR REFILLS, WHICH DID NOT WORK. IT SHOULD SHOW THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IS INSUFFICIENT. THANK YOU FOR AUDITING MY ISSUE TO HELP ME COMPLETE MY RIGHTS. NOW I THINK THAT THE ENGINE IS SCARED WITHOUT OIL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, SHE SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WHILE APPROACHING A STOP. THE VEHICLE THEN CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT ( 2200115) WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE . THERE WERE NO INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED DUE TO THE FIRE AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.
INITIALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT WAS NOT THE IDLE STOP SINCE IT IS DEACTIVATED BEFORE DRIVING. THE DEALER EVENTUALLY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY. THEN THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, THE RADIO WAS REPLACED AFTER A WEEK OF BEING AT THE DEALER. NOW 3 WEEKS AFTER REPAIR, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. HAS A NOISE THAT COMES OUT OF THE SPEAKERS LIKE SPARKS, HAS A CHEMICAL SMELL, NO RES USAGE, NO CABIN WATCH OR CABIN TALK. EVERYTHING THAT MADE THE ELITE TRIM DESIRED DOES NOT WORK.
OUR 2019 ODYSSEY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT IT. I TRIED TROUBLE SHOOTING MYSELF FOR AWHILE. FINALLY STARTED TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER 6 MONTHS OF OWNING IT AND IT'S BEEN THERE MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. IT HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, BLUETOOTH DOESN'T WORK, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. NOBODY CAN HEAR ME WHEN I TALK TO THEM THROUGH THE BLUE TOOTH OR APPLE CAR PLAY. THE POPPING IN THE DASH BOARD IS AWFUL AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE VAN IS GOING TO CATCH FIRE AT ANY MOMENT. THEY HAVE DONE A DASH HARNESS AND FULL BODY HARNESS ON OUR VAN WITH NO SUCCESS. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING AND THE POPPING IS WHEN THE INFOTAINMENT/RADIO/MUSIC IS PLAYING OR NOT PLAYING. IT'S A SERIOUS HAZARD.
SUPPER LOUD STATIC NOISE. BOARD CONTROLS SHUT DOWN, CANNOT CONTROL HEAT, NAVIGATION SHUTS DOWN. SUPPER LOUD STATIC NOISE. TOOK TO LOCAL HONDA.. THEY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT NO SOLUTION TO FIX AT THIS TIME... 3 TIMES ALREADY. ALSO VEHICLE WHILE OPERATING.. WHEN THIS NOISES OCCUR FEELS LIKE ITS LOOSING POWER
2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VARIOUS DEFECTS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED ALL THE DOORS UNLOCK INDEPENDENTLY. THE SLIDING DOORS, INCLUDING THE REAR HATCH, UNLOCK AND OPEN INDEPENDENTLY AND WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF OPEN FULLY INDEPENDENTLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED. *JS
BRAUN WHEELCHAIR CONVERSION ON 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. GAS OVERFLOWS FROM BELOW DUE TO GAS LINE IN FUEL TANK. FUEL TANK REPLACED ON HONDA BY BRAUN, BRAUN HAND BUILDS THE DEFECTIVE TANK. FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME BECAUSE OF ALL THE GAS OVERFLOWING UNDER VAN. I HAD FILLED THE GAS TANK NIGHT BEFORE, 12-16 HOURS LATER WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY GAS WAS LEAKING ONTO DRIVEWAY AT LEAST 2 GALLONS. LOOKED LIKE A SLOW DRIP THAT TIME I SAW IT WAS A SPEWING FAUCET. I HAD VAN TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP BUT WAS TRANSFERRED TO BRAUN DEALERSHIP. BRAUN IS GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER FUEL TANK AFTER JAN 6 IN INDIANA THEN SHIP TO LUBBOCK TEXAS END OF JAN, EARLY FEB. SAME SET UP ! I DON'T WANT THIS UNSAFE VAN THAT MAY AGAIN SPEW GAS AND HIGH RISK FOR EXPLOSION OR FIRE.
2019 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L PURCHASED NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2019. AT APPROXIMATELY 7,000 MILES OF USE, DEVELOPED NOTICEABLE METALLIC RATTLE AND ASSOCIATED ENGINE KNOCK-LIKE NOISE. DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE WAS NOTIFIED AND VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO SERVICE. AFTER SIX DAYS, OWNER WAS NOTIFIED THAT MOST LIKELY DEFECT WAS A FAILED MAIN BEARING IN ENGINE CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY AND THAT HONDA CARS OF NA WOULD REPLACE ENGINE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THERE WAS A HARD SHIFT AMONG FIRST TO SECOND TO THIRD GEARS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HARD SHIFT WAS FELT BOTH DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,547. THE VIN WAS INVALID.
WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN THE PROCESS OF SHIFTING BETWEEN 3 AND 4TH GEAR VAN SHIFTS VERY HARD . SO MUCH SO THAT AT TIMES MY BODY IS THRUSTED FORWARD WHICH CAUSES ME TO MOMENTARILY LOSE SIGHT OF ROAD. WHILE SHIFTING IT SEEMS TO VEHICLE SEEMS LUNGE AT HIGHER SPEED. THIS OCCURS AT LOW RPM AND WILL USUALLY OCCUR WHEN SPEED HITS 24MPH. HARD SHIFT ALSO OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN BUT NOT AS COMMON . THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING ON STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN IT REQUIRES DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. WHEN VEHICLE WAS 1ST PURCHASED THIS WAS NOT EXPERIENCED, IT WAS UNTIL AFTER 6 MONTHS THAT THIS STARTED OCCURRING. HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT VEHICLE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE AND INFORMED ME THAT VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS INTENDED. I ALSO CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP SINCE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THEY SUGGESTED I REVIEW MY CONSUMER RIGHTS BROCHURE IF I WANTED TO TAKE ADDITIONAL ACTION. THERE ARE VARIOUS POST ONLINE WITH EXACT SAME ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND FEEL THERE IS FLAW IN THE DESIGN WHICH HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY NOR WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO PARK, THERE WAS A SHRIEKING NOISE, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN HONDA DEALER IN DELAND, FLORIDA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE GENERAL MANAGER WOULD CALL BACK. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,900.
IWAS DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH COMING OUT OF A PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHIFTED ITSELF INTO PARK AND CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS WHERE THROWN FORWARD BY THE SUDDENNESS OF THE STOP. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.
WHILE DRIVING ON A TRIP AT ABOUT 60 MPH, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, NOTHING WAS FUNCTIONAL, INCLUDING THE BACK-UP CAMERA WHICH I HEAVILY RELY ON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IN ADDITION, ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WOULDN'T TURN OFF AND STARTED DRAINING THE BATTERY. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PULL THE FUSE TO GET IT TO SHUT OFF, WHICH IS VER DIFFICULT TO ACCESS. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE USING THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AT ALL IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR PURCHASING.
FREQUENT LOUD CRACKLING NOISES COME FROM THE SPEAKERS, FOLLOWED BY A NETWORK CONNECTION LOST ERROR MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN, AND THEN THE SCREEN WILL GO BLACK AND EVENTUALLY THE SYSTEM WILL REBOOT. THIS WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING AND DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE STATE OR USE OF THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM (IT CAN BE OFF AND STILL HAPPEN). THERE SEEMS TO BE A CORRELATION WITH GOING OVER A BUMP, SUGGESTING A LOOSE CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. WHEN RESTARTING OR OFF, THE RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROLS AND THE BACKUP CAMERA ARE ALL UNAVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT DISTRACTS THE DRIVER AND ALSO PREVENTS USAGE OF THE BACKUP CAMERA. BEGAN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AT AROUND 1500 MILES AND NOW AT ~1700 MILES IT HAPPENS ESSENTIALLY ALL THE TIME.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING MORE THAN 20 TO 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED. NALLEY HONDA (4197 JONESBORO RD, UNION CITY, GA 30291, (404) 994-4321) STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED A WEEK LATER. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE DEALER HAD PERFORMED SOME REPAIRS AND DID NOT TELL HER. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE DEALER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT SUSPECTED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
WE WERE ON A VACATION 5 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND 40 MINUTES INTO OUR TRIP THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, TO INCLUDE AUDIO AND VISUAL ALL TURNED OFF. WE HAD TO RESTART THE ENTIRE CARE. REPAIRS WERE SUPPOSEDLY MADE THE INCIDENT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OFF AND ON FOR A FEW MONTHS. VAN WAS TAKEN IN ON A THURSDAY FOR REPAIRS, ADVISED IT WAS FIXED. THE SAME ERROR OCCURRED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER.
DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY, THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME ARE SLOWING DOWN, MY CAR'S COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM SENDS A VISUAL ALERT WITH THE "BRAKE" SIGNAL COMING ON AND I FEEL THE BRAKES ENGAGING, SIMULTANEOUSLY I SLAM ON THE BRAKES, AND WHILE THERE WAS STILL DISTANCE BETWEEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF MINE AND MINE, I AM NOT ABLE TO BRAKE. THE BRAKES SEEM CONFUSED, AND THE IMPACT IS SO STRONG THAT MY HEAD ALMOST REACHES THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SEATBELT IS LOCKED IN PLACE AND LEAVES ME SORE. ONCE I AM ABLE TO GET AHOLD THAT I WAS JUST IN A CAR ACCIDENT, I AM UNABLE TO LOWER THE WINDOWS, THE CAR IS ABLE TO CALL FOR HELP ON IT'S OWN AND DOES SO ALTHOUGH NOTHING COMES OF THAT IN THAT NO HELP COMES. ONCE I GET OFF THE VAN I NOTICE THE PLATE IS KNOCKED AND ON THE FLOOR, THE BUMPER HAS FALLEN OFF AND THE HOOD AND GRILL ARE CURLED UP PICTURES ATTACHED. THE CAR SEEMS TO BE LEAKING A FLUID AND WE ARE UNABLE TO START IT. I BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE WE (THE CAR AND I) SIMULTANEOUSLY HAVING THE SYSTEM ENGAGING ON IT'S OWN AND MY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES PREVENTED THE BRAKES FROM WORKING. THE IMPACT WAS WITH SUCH VELOCITY THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE HAD THEM WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY CONCERN IF THE DRIVER AND THE SYSTEM ARE UNABLE TO WORK TOGETHER OR TOO CONFUSING FOR THE SYSTEM. INTERESTINGLY, THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY! ADDITIONALLY, THE INITIAL SCAN BY THE AUTO BODY SHOP HAD MANY ALERTS COME UP BUT THE ONES I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT ARE ABS - ECM FAILURE AND INTEGRATED DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM - BRAKE ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION, ATTACHING THAT SCAN TOO.
IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND LOOKING AT TWO VEHICLES IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE REAR GLASS HAS NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY AS THERE ARE OBSCURITIES IN THE GLASS AND THOSE OBSCURITIES CREATE A BLURRY PATCH TO THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT OF CENTER AT THE EDGES OF THE GLASS. IF YOU CAN SEE IT'S FAINTLY LIKE A CORDUROY EFFECT IN BETWEEN THE LAYERS OF GLASS. A MANAGER AT FROM SUNSET HONDA IN SAN LUIS OBISPO HAS SEEN THE DEFECTS NOTICED IT AND OTHER VEHICLES BUT DECLINED TO DO ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS THE SAME IN TWO VEHICLES. I STATED THAT THAT DOESN'T PROHIBITED FROM BEING A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING HE AGREED THAT THERE WAS BLURRY VISION AND THAT HE COULD SEE THE LINES THAT I'M SPEAKING OF.
FOUR TIMES IN LAST 3 MONTHS WHEN HEADING INTO SUN, 40 MPH, EMPTY RURAL ROAD,, AUTO BRAKING SYSTEM FLASHED CRASH WARNING ON SCREEN IN BACK OF STEERING WHEEL. THERE WERE NO HAZARDS. I QUESTION WHETHER THE BRAKES MIGHT BE APPLIED. SANTA FE HONDA DEALER, ON OCT 23, 2019 SAID THIS HAPPENS BUT IS NOT A PROBLEM IF I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL A LITTLE, THEN THE WARNING WILL GO AWAY AND NO BRAKING WILL OCCUR. NOTHING DANGEROUS DID OCCUR, BUT I AM CONCERNED AND DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM IF I REMEMBER. MUST BE DONE EVERY TIME ENGINE IS STARTED.
WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW/NORMAL SPEED ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, I WENT OVER A GENTLE SPEED BUMP AND ON THE WAY DOWN, THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR STRUCK WHAT I BELIEVE IS PART OF THE ROADWAY. IT WAS A MINOR BUMP - BUT SOME OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS TO DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED ALONG WITH BOTH KNEE AIRBAGS. THIS WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED SINCE WE WERE DRIVING AT NORMAL RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS AND SLOWED FOR THE SPEED BUMP. AT THIS SPEED, WHATEVER IT STRUCK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
I WAS STRUCK IN THE HEAD WHILE LOADING GROCERIES BY THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR,I HAD LET THE WINDOWS DOWN TO LET HEAT OUT,THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE POWER DOORS BUT HAS POWER WINDOWS,I HAD THE WINDOW ALL THE WAY DOWN THE PARKING SPACE SLOPED SLIGHTLY TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE,IN THE PROCESS OF LOADING I TOOK MY HAND OFF THE DOOR IT STARTED CLOSING I CAUGHT IT JUST AS IT HIT ME IN THE HEAD ,I WAS KNOT SERIOUSLY INJURED BY ME CATCHING THE DOOR ,BUT GOT A NOT ON MY HEAD,THIS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND FILL THAT IT POSES A POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY TO ANY PASSENGER WHILE LOADING OR UNLOADING.
VEHICLE HAS 3500 MILES AND BECAME DISABLED AND DISPLAYED TRANSMISSION ERROR ON THE DASH. UNABLE TO DRIVE. THIRD IS THE SECOND 2019 ODYSSEY WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES THE FIRST HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 300 MILES.
HELLO I HAVE 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, THAT FREEZES UP, MUSIC NOT PLAYING, SCREEN BEING UNRESPONSIVE, CABIN WATCH FEATURE FREEZES, SKIPS PICTURE OR DOESN'T DISPLAY IT AT ALL OR WITH MESSAGE THAT PICTURE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED. RAIN SENSING WIPERS DO NOT WORK AS INTENDED. WHEN IS BARELY RAINING THEY GO FAST, WHEN IS RAINING A LOT WIPERS ARE WORKING SLOW. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIX ISSUES OR THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THEM. I TRY TO TAKE VIDEOS/PHOTOS OF EVERY TIME SOMETHING IS HAPPENING BUT THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T TAKE THAT AS A PROOF THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. THEY DRIVE CAR FOR TWO MILES VS MINE 27K MILES IN 10 MONTHS, AND ALWAYS SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. I CALLED HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES TO HAVE ISSUES RESOLVED, ALWAYS SAME STORY FROM BOTH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE OR DEALERSHIP, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN UPDATE. I AM WAITING OVER 6 MONTHS AND NOTHING. I HAVE MORE VIDEOS/PICTURES AVAILABLE. WE HAVE TWO SAME VEHICLES IN OUR HOUSEHOLD, MY WIFE'S CAR HAVE SAME ISSUES.
I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE ON 9/17/2019. I DROVE TO WORK AS USUAL, MADE SURE ALL ELECTRICALS (E.G., DOME LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, ETC.) WERE OFF, PARKED AND ALARMED MY VEHICLE. CAR REMAINED PARKED WHILE I WORKED. AFTER MY SHIFT, I TRIED TO USE THE REMOTE ENGINE START, BUT NOTICED THE CAR DIDN'T START. I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON KEY FOB, BUT NO RESPONSE; THE CAR REMAINED LOCKED. I TRIED TO UNLOCK VIA HONDALINK APP, WHICH DISPLAYED THAT CAR WAS UNLOCKED. I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN ANY CAR DOOR, BUT THEY REMAINED LOCKED. I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN 94*F HEAT AND NO NEARBY SHADE. LUCKILY MY FAMILY WEREN'T THERE OR THEY WOULD'VE ALSO BEEN LEFT BAKING IN THE HEAT. I USED THE MANUAL KEY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND GOT IN. THEN TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT NO RESPONSE AT ALL (I.E, NO LIGHTS ON THE HUD, LCD MONITORS, ETC.). ALSO TRIED UNLOCKING OTHER DOORS FROM INSIDE; NOTHING WORKED. CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE & THEY SENT SOMEONE TO HELP. GUY TRIED JUMP STARTING CAR, STILL NOTHING. SAID HE EVEN SENT "DIRECT CURRENT" TO CAR, BUT ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE; NO LIGHTS OF ANY KIND, NO ACCESS TO UNLOCK OTHER DOORS OR OPEN WINDOWS. CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AGAIN. THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO TOW CAR TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP. TOW DRIVER ARRIVED, BUT COULDN'T TOW MY CAR AS THERE WERE CARS PARKED IN FRONT & IN BACK OF MY CAR. THERE WAS ALSO NO WAY FOR HIM TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT FEATURE. WE LOOKED IN CAR MANUAL FOR SOLUTION. ABOUT 2 HRS LATER, THE DRIVER DISCOVERED HE WAS ABLE TO START CAR BY USING KEY FOB TO PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON. I DROVE TO DEALERSHIP & TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. SAID THEY WOULD PERFORM THOROUGH INSPECTION. IT'S BEEN 1.5 DAYS & THEY STILL DON'T KNOW THE PROBLEM. SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM. I'M SCHEDULED TO PICK UP MY CAR TODAY BUT AM HESITANT & AFRAID OF BEING STRANDED WITH MY FAMILY WHEN TRAVELLING.
THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION HAS AN ISSUE WHERE IT CAN LAUNCH THE VEHICLE INTO TRAFFIC. MORE SPECIFICALLY, AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN THE THROTTLE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED TO INITIATE FORWARD MOTION, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES, THEN ENGAGES, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LAUNCH INTO TRAFFIC. MANY TIMES THERE IS AN UNINTENDED TIRE SQUEAL. OTHER TIMES, THIS HESITATION AND LAUNCH MAKES THE VEHICLE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR SLIGHTLY LESS THAN ONE YEAR. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATION AND SAFETY ISSUE HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THAT TIME.
CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS THE TRANSMISSION TO THE PARK POSITION WHILE IN MOTION; BRAKES WERE LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
HAVE A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT IS EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR. IT HAS LESS THAN 4K MILES ON IT AND WHENEVER IT REACHES 25 IT JERKS THE CAR QUITE NOTICEABLY. BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A "SOUND" WHEN IT SHIFTED INTO THIRD GEAR BUT COULDN'T REPLICATE THE "HARD SHIFT" THAT I'VE NOTICED. THEY SAID IT'S OPERATING AS NORMAL.
WHILE DRIVING ON A RAMP AND SLOWING DOWN, THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHED ITSELF FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE MAKING A LOUD NOISE. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONCE ON 09/04/2019 AFTER RIDING TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE MINIVAN AND WAS ABLE TO RIDE AGAIN NORMALLY
THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WHICH CONTROLS EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY FROZEN AND CRASHED. ALL, SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING THE BACKUP CAMERA DISABLED AND COULDN'T BE ADJUSTED BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM DEEM THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION EVEN IT WASN'T. WORST, THERE IS NO WAY TO RESET OR TURN OFF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT VISITING A DEALER. MANY DRIVERS THAT I KNEW OF ARE CONSTANTLY FORCED TO FIX THE SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING. THIS CREATES SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY.
WHEN BACKING UP MY 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED WITH NO INPUT FROM ME. I CRASHED THROUGH A FENCE BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND DID SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTS. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE ODOR WAS DETECTED FOR 72 HOURS. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE PHONE CHARGER PORT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND CAUSED THE CELL PHONE TO ALSO OVERHEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA WEST (7615 W SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117, (800) 249-9504) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,658.
THE CAR HAS A SYSTEM TO WARN THE DRIVER TO BRAKE DUE TO AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM SHOWS BRAKE IN LARGE ORANGE LETTERS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION, GOING AROUND A GRADUAL TURN TO THE RIGHT, TYPICALLY ON A TWO-LANE ROAD, IT OFTEN WARNS OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE OTHER LANE BY SHOUTING BRAKE IN THE ORANGE LETTERS. THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS NEVER IN FACT A DANGER. THAT TRAFFIC IS SIMPLY MAKING A GRADUAL LEFT TURN IN ITS OWN LANE. BY CONTRAST, TODAY (DUE TO UTILITY WORK) THERE WAS TRAFFIC COMING DIRECTLY AT ME ON A TWO-LANE ROAD WHILE I WAS IN MOTION IN MY OWN LANE--AND THE CAR SAID NOTHING. IN MY OPINION, THIS SO-CALLED WARNING SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND UNRELIABLE. I ASKED OUR DEALER ABOUT IT BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. (THIS PROBLEM OF THE BRAKE WARNING HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES, IT IS BY NO MEANS CONFINED TO TODAY'S DATE.)
THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM STARTED SHUTTING DOWN AND CRACKLING STARTED IN THE SPEAKERS WHEN THE CAR WAS 3 WEEKS OLD. THE BLUETOOTH OPTION AND APPLE CAR PLAY ARE COMPLETELY UNUSABLE DUE TO THE CRACKLING. THEY STOP WORKING APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS INTO USE. NO SOUND. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL SHUT DOWN RANDOMLY, STATING NO NETWORK COMMUNICATION AND RADIO UNAVAILABLE BEFOREHAND. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE ANY PARTS, INCLUDING THE RADIO HARNESSES, WHICH ARE THE MAIN SUSPECTS FOR THE CRACKLING. CRACKLING SOUND WORSENS DURING TURNS.
SAFETY FEATURE DEFECT...INFOTAINMENT FAILS WHICH CAUSES NO BACKUP CAMERA WHEN YOU BACK UP
THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE. WITHOUT WARNING THE ENTIRE UNIT BLACKOUTS OR LOCKS UP RENDERING IT USELESS. THIS IMPACTS NAVIGATION, ALL AUDIO, THE BACKUP CAMERA AND BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN LATE MAY AND HAS BEEN RETURNED 2 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITHOUT RESOLVE. IT IS GOING BACK A THIRD TIME IN THE MORNING. WE'VE PROVIDED SCREENSHOTS AND VIDEO TO THE DEALER. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION FOR MY WIFE AND I PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER HIGHWAY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS IN HOUSTON METRO. WE'VE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CELLPHONES IN THE CABIN VICINITY AND THE MALFUNCTION STILL OCCURS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE CONTACT'S HOME, THE AUTOMATIC LOCK SYSTEM DID NOT OPERATE. THE FEATURE WAS SUPPOSED TO ACTIVATE WHEN THE CONTACT WAS 1.5 METERS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE DOORS WERE UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TIER ONE AUTO GROUP LEASING AND FINANCE (1562 BATH AVE, BROOKLYN, NY 11228, (718) 331-3331) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE COULD BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 09741632. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A REQUEST FOR AN INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,000.
INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM FREEZES CAUSING BATTERY TO DRAIN TO ZERO WHEN PARKED. RADIO STOPS, NAVIGATION STOPS, PHONE STOPS WORKING, BACKUP CAMERA STOPS WORKING. EVIDENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN MARCH IN CALIFORNIA. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY CHANGED BATTERY, TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. FROZE AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN SYSTEM FAILED. THE NEXT MORNING CAR WOULD NOT START BECAUSE BATTERY DRAINED.THIS WAS ON A FEDERAL HIGHWAY. HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED. *TR
WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DASHBOARD (INCLUDING NOT BUT LIMITED TO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, FUEL LEVEL, CURRENT GEAR, ETC) WENT COMPLETE OFF MOMENTARILY AND THEN RESTARTED ITSELF. AFTER THE DASHBOARD CAME BACK, THE DASHBOARD FLASHED AN ERROR LIKE "ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SYSTEM PROBLEM" FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS NORMALLY UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 DAYS. I COULDN'T GET A PICTURE OF THE ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENED RANDOMLY WITH NO CLEAR INDICATION THAT IT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
ON JULY 2ND OUR VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. PRIOR TO THIS DATE THE VEHICLE WORKED FINE. WE CALL HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY CAME AND JUMPED IT. MY WIFE LET IT IDLE FOR NEARLY 1 HOUR AND TURNED IT OFF. SHE RETURNED AN HOUR LATER ONLY TO FIND IT WAS DEAD AGAIN. I DECIDED TO COME HOME AND JUMPED IT AND DROVE IT DOWN THE HWY. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THERE WAS SOME VEHICLES SWEARVING AROUND SOME DEBRIS ON THE ROAD AND WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I WASN'T ABLE TO STEAR THE VEHICLE FAST ENOUGH AND HIT SOME OF THE DEBRIS. I LET OF THE BRAKE AND THE POWER CAME BACK ON. I DROVE HOME TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART IT AGAIN ONLY TO DISCOVER IT WAS DEAD. I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND INSPECTED THE FRONT END WHICH HAD MINOR SCRATCHES AND CUTS IN THE LOWER FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BUMPER
CAR HAS UNDER 7000 MILES. ENGINE STRUGGLES WITH POWER IN LOWER GEARS. THERE IS ALSO A JUMP WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD. THE JUMP FEEL LIKE A TRANSMISSION GEAR TRANSFER ISSUE. TODAY AS AN EXAMPLE, WHEN DEPARTING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I HAD TO FULLY COMPRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GET THE ENGINE TO RESPOND. IN GENERAL, THE LOWER GEARS FEEL SLUGGISH AND THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE PURCHASE. THE ENGINE SIMPLY SOUNDS DIFFERENT THAN ANY OF OUR PREVIOUS HONDA ODYSSEY'S. AT HIGHER SPEEDS, ON A HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE IS RESPONSIVE. WE'RE IN A DO LOOP WITH MECHANICS AS THE PROBLEM IS NOT ALWAYS REPEATABLE. HOPE THIS HELPS IF YOU START SEEING TRENDS.
THREE HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WENT COMPLETELY OUT. ALL OF THE SAFETY FEATURES ATTACHED WERE OFF AND WE WERE UNSURE OF THE IMPACT TO OTHER FEATURES. IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS OFF. IT CONTINUED TO DRAIN THE BATTERY WITHOUT ANYWAY TO TURN IT OFF. CALLED HONDA SUPPORT AND ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND NO ONE COULD HELP ME OR REASSURE MY FAMILY THAT WE WERE SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THREE DAYS LATER THEY HAD TO CONNECT TWO WIRES AT THE DEALERSHIP TO RESET THE SYSTEM. APPRECIATE THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE BUT NO ONE HAS GIVEN US DETAILS OF WHAT CAUSE THE ISSUE OR THE OVERALL IMPACT ON SAFETY FEATURES.
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STARTED SHIFTING WEIRD COASTED TO A STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED AN ERROR TRANSMISSON PROBLEM APPLY PARKING BRAKE WHEN STOPPED. THE CAR ALSO DISPLAYED ERRORS RELATED TO THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING AND EMISSIONS SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND NEEDED TRANSMISSON REPLACED WITH ONLY 312 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.
WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE NEW 2019 HONDA ODESSEY AND THEN FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO MANUALLY MOVE THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL (OR ANY POSITION OTHER THAN PARK) IF THE ENGINE OR BATTERY DIES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WORKING ON A FIX, BUT RECOMMENDED IF WE NEEDED TO GET TOWED TO PUT DISH SOAP UNDER THE TIRES TO BE DRAGGED ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. MEANWHILE THOUGH, WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, THE BROKEN DOWN CAR COULD POTENTIALLY BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO FLASHERS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND NO WAY FOR POLICE OR ANYONE ELSE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ROLL IT TO SAFETY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA, AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE RECEIVED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY ARE NOT WORKING ON A FIX AND IT IS 'JUST HOW THE CAR IS DESIGNED'. THEY SAID THAT THEY 'THINK' THERE IS A SPECIAL TOOL THAT ONLY THEIR AAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANTS HAVE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO MANUALLY OVERRIDE, BUT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY SUCH TOOL, AND ANY OTHER TOW TRUCK DRIVERS WOULD NOT HAVE THIS SUPPOSED TOOL. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I FOUND THAT ANSWER UNACCEPTABLE AND AM HOPING YOUR REGULATORY AGENCY CAN INTERVENE TO PROMPT ACTION TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE OLD 2018 MODEL AND OTHERS ALWAYS HAD A MANUAL OVERRIDE OPTION, AND THE 2019 VERSION NEEDS TO HAVE THAT SAME OPTION FOR SAFETY, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH TO A HIGHER GEAR TO ACCELERATE. OCEAN HONDA OF NORTH HOLLYWOOD (5841 LANKERSHIM BLVD, NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA 91601, (888) 282-4550) COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN DAILY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A CALLBACK FROM A CASE MANAGER. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT FEEL THE FAILURE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.*BF CONSUMER STATED THREE TIMES TRANS FAILED "SHIFT" INTO HIGHER GEAR.*JB
SEAT BELT SECOND ROW (ON THE DRIVER SIDE) WEBBING GETS STUCK INSIDE AND CANNOT PULL OFTEN TIMES. I'M NOT SURE IF THE RETRACTOR ISSUE. BREAK - CAR ITSELF MAKES A SUDDEN BREAK AND RELEASE RIGHT AWAY WHILE CMBS SYSTEM IS TURNED OFF. SAME THING HAPPENS WHILE THERE IS NO CAR IN FRONT OR NOT SWITCHING THE LANES.
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. REAR BACK UP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK. RADIO DOES NOT WORK AND CARPLAY DOES NOT WORK
NEW ODYSSEY WITH 3K MILES MY BRAKS MAKING GRINDING NOISE AND UNABLE TO COME TO FULL STOP AS NORMAL TIME AND DISTANCE
AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING A BRAND NEW HONDA ODYSSEY 2019, WITH 177 MILEAGE, THE CAR HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, BLIND SPOT INFO SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM. AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED, I SAW THE RPM INCREASED TO 5000-6000R/MIN AND I HEARD LOUD VROOM NOISE COMING OUR FROM MY CAR. WHILE THE CAR STILL HAD SOME MOMENTUM RIGHT OFF THE FREEWAY, I MADE TWO RIGHT TURN AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN NEAR MY APARTMENT. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AT AROUND 8:30PM, AND OTHER CARS HAD TO DRIVE AROUND US. MY WIFE AND TWO TODDLERS WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME. WE WERE VERY FRIGHTENED BY THIS INCIDENT AS WE COULD NOT BELIEVE AN ENGINE/TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAN HAPPENED TO A BRAND NEW HONDA CAR WITH ONLY 177 MILEAGE.
2019 HONDA ODDESAY BATTERY DIED ON US AT 2960 MILES! AFTER MY WIFE AND MY TWO BABIES, DROVE THE CAR FOR ALMOST 45 MIN. WENT TO THE ZOO AND CAME BACK 4 HOURS LATER ONLY TO FIND THE CAR BATTERY DEAD! 4/7/19, 4:45 PM! CALLED HONDA ROAD ASSISTANT AND WHEN FINALLY ARRIVED AT 5:20 PM HE HAD A HARD TIME CLAMPING HIS PORTABLE BATTERY PACK INTO THE CAR BATTERY DUE TO LIMITED SPACE AROUND THOSE BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS. HE HAD TO HOLD THE CLAPS MANUALLY IN PLACE! SO EVEN IF I HAD WAS THERE AND HAD A PORTABLE BATTERY I COULDN'T START UP THE CARS SINCE IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLAMPS TO BATTERY TERMINALS SECURELY AND JUMP INSIDE TO PUSH THE IGNITION KEY!
THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTS TO A LOWER SPEED DURING TRAVEL. IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 45 MILES/HR, AT 70 MILES/HR AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON CRUISE. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION BROKE. IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAFFIC. A COUPLE OF MESSAGES POPPED ON THE DASH, 'TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM' AND 'BLIND SPOT INFO. SYSTEM PROBLEM'. I PUSHED THE REVERSE BUTTON IT WAS INACTIVE, NEUTRAL WAS WORKING. TOOK THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED THE DEALER. DEALER ASKED IF I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ON. I DID THAT AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. A 1000 MILES LATER THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN TWICE WITH IN 12 HOURS WITH A NEW MESSAGE ON TOP THE TWO FIRST MESSAGES. THIS TIME THE THIRD MESSAGE WAS 'EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM'. I TOOK PHOTOS THIS TIME OF THE MESSAGES. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ON BUT THE 'EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM' MESSAGE DID NOT GO AWAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. AFTER THAT, AFTER + MILES LATER AFTER VISITING THE DEALER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR. I CONTINUED DRIVING ON LOW GEAR TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN THEN IT WAS OK. ANOTHER TIME MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE CRUISE ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. THAT IS A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES WITHIN 20000 MILES. IT HAPPENED AT ABOUT 10000 MILES, 15000+ MILES, 160159 MILES I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER THIS TIME AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I CONTACTED HONDA TO REPORT THE ISSUE. HONDA SAID IF THE DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THEN THERE IS NOTHING TO DO. THIS BOTHERED ME. I DECIDED TO CONTACT NHTSA. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. WHAT DO YOU ADVISE ME TO DO?
WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55MPH ON A SUNNY MILD DAY WHEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. NO OTHER CARS, TREES OR OVERPASSES PRESENT. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD LIKE IT HAD BEEN SHOT FROM INSIDE THE CAR. SOUNDED LIKE A HUGE EXPLOSION. WE HAD 7 PEOPLE IN MY VAN INCLUDING 5 CHILDREN. LUCKILY THE SCREEN WAS SHUT OR GLASS WOULD'VE RAINED DOWN ON ALL OF US. WAS SO STARTLING WE COULD'VE EASILY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AS WELL BUT LUCKILY WE DIDN'T.
VAN RANDOMLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, WITH NOBODY IN FRONT OF ME, WHILE I WAS GOING 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. VAN WILL SPORADICALLY NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL, THEN SLOWING START TO MOVE BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC ON CITY STREET, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE T-BONED 5 TIMES THEN DECIDE TO START RAPIDLY ACCELERATE AND MAKE ME FISH TAIL. AFTER PUTTING VEHICLE IN PARK, IT ROLLS 6"-12" (DEPENDING ON INCLINE). TOO MANY TECH ISSUES TO LIST (REAR BACKUP CAMERA STOPS WORKING WHILE IN USE, AUDIO WILL TURN OFF AN NOT TURN BACK ON WHILE DRIVING, NAVIGATION HAS BEEN "LOADING" FOR MONTHS, ETC)
WORRIED SOMEBODY TRIED HACKING INTO MY CAR/ COMPUTER. WHILE RETURNING FROM A BIKE RIDE ABOUT 300 FT AWAY CAR STARTED BEEPING, LIGHTS CAME ON.
ON DECEMBER 19, 2018, THE DAY AFTER WE HAD THE MAINTENANCE AND BRAKE FLUID REPAIRED, WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR ON A FREEWAY. SUDDENLY, THE CAR SHOOK WILDLY FOR A MOMENT AND THICK WHITE SMOKE STARTED TO ISSUE FROM THE CAR. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK, SO OUR CAR COULD ONLY REACH SPEED UP TO 25 MILES PER HOUR, MUCH SLOWER THAN THE OTHER CARS HONKING AND RACING PAST US ON THE FREEWAY. WE BARELY MADE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT, WHERE WE HAD TO PARK AT THE NEAREST GAS STATION TO CHECK WHAT WAS GOING ON. WE WERE UNDER EXTREME DANGER AND STRESS FROM THIS INCIDENT AS IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WE WERE EXTREMELY CLOSE TO COLLIDING WITH OTHER CARS. HONESTLY, NO WORDS CAN DARE TO EXPRESS THE FEAR AND DREAD OF IMMINENT DEATH WE EXPERIENCED THAT TIME. WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE CRUSHED TO DEATH AT THAT MOMENT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT, WHEN WE STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS GONE, AND THE ACCELERATOR STARTED WORKING NORMALLY. HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS SEEMED TO HAVE 'GONE AWAY' FOR NOW, WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR WHERE IT MAY OCCUR AGAIN. IT SCARES US THAT THE CAR SEEMS SO INNOCENTLY NORMAL AGAIN.
AROUND LATE AUGUST OR EARLY SEPTEMBER OF 2018, WE STARTED EXPERIENCING SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATOR. ONE OF OUR OFFICE WORKERS HAD TWO ACCIDENTS WHILE PARKING DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE ACCELERATOR SANK DOWN SUBTLY AS IF SHE WAS PRESSING AGAINST SORT OF A SPONGE WHEN SHE STEERED THE WHEEL AT A CERTAIN ANGLE. AS A RESULT, THE CAR CRASHED AGAINST THE WALL AND WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO REPAIR THE BUMPER. ORIGINALLY, WE THOUGHT THE PARKING ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO LACK OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE OF OUR OFFICE WORKER AND PAID THE FULL REPAIR COST OURSELVES. HOWEVER, A SENIOR EXECUTIVE AT MY COMPANY WITH 27 YEARS OF ACCIDENT-FREE DRIVING EXPERIENCES ALSO CLAIMED MULTIPLE TIMES TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SPONGE-LIKE SINKING IN THE ACCELERATOR WHILE DRIVING THE CAR.
MY MAIN ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH DOWNSHIFTING. SINCE THESE NEW VANS HAVE NO EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL TO USE IF ALL BRAKING FAILS, I BECAME VERY CONCERNED WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE 9-SPEED REVS THE MOTOR UP GOING DOWN HILL WHILE DOWNSHIFTING. THIS IS TO SUCH A LEVEL THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT ENGINE BRAKE ITSELF. YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES BECAUSE IT WILL NOT SLOW ITSELF DOWN. SO, WHEN COASTING DOWN A 6% AND STEEPER GRADE WITH NO ACCEL PEDAL AT ALL.....THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GEAR DOWN ON ITS OWN AT ALL. IT WILL FREE WHEEL. WHICH IS FINE. SO, WHEN THE ACC CRUISE IS ENGAGED WITH THE MINIMUM FOLLOW DISTANCE SET, ON A 6% OR STEEPER GRADE.....THE TRANSMISSION WILL SEQUENTIALLY DOWNSHIFT. UPON EACH DOWNSHIFT THE ENGINE THROTTLE IS BLIPPED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPEED DOWNHILL A BIT MORE.....AND A BIT MORE. WHEN YOU GET TO THE D5 TO D4 DOWNSHIFT THE THROTTLE IS AGRESSIVELY BLIPPLED AND THE VAN WILL SPEED AHEAD AS IF TO PASS. SOMETIMES SPEEDS WILL REACH 75MPH DOWN HILL AND AGRESSIVE BRAKING IS REQUIRED BY THE DRIVER. YOU THEN LOSE YOUR PRESET ACC. . KNOWING THAT I HAVE NO EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL THAT I CAN MODULATE PRESSURE/BRAKING WITH THE RELEASE HANDLE. SO. WHEN USING STANDARD CRUISE CONTROL SET ON A 6% OR STEEPER GRADE.....THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT. UPON EACH DOWNSHIFT THE ENGINE THROTTLE IS BLIPPED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPEED DOWNHILL A BIT MORE.....AND A BIT MORE. WHEN YOU GET TO THE D5 TO D4 DOWNSHIFT THE THROTTLE IS AGRESSIVELY BLIPPLED AND THE VAN WILL SPEED AHEAD AS IF TO PASS. SOMETIMES SPEEDS WILL REACH 75MPH DOWN HILL AND AGRESSIVE BRAKING IS REQUIRED BY THE DRIVER. YOU THEN LOSE YOUR PRESET CRUISE CONTROL. KNOWING THAT I HAVE NO EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL THAT I CAN MODULATE PRESSURE/BRAKING WITH THE RELEASE HANDLE. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE PURCHASE.
SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHTS DIM WAY DOWN AND SOMETIMES CHANGE INTENSITY GREATLY EVERY SINGLE TIME THE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH ENGAGES AND DRAWS CURRENT. ALL LIGHTING ACROSS EVERY SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE DIMS WAY DOWN AS WELL. THAT IS, INTERIOR ILLUMINATION, INSTRUMENT CONSOLE AND PANEL, EXTERIOR MARKER LIGHTS. ALL LIGHTING DIMS WHEN THE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH ENGAGES. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED A FEW THINGS AS INSTRUCTED BY THE MANUFACTURER BUT THE SITUATION HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. WHILE OUT ON FREEWAYS AT NIGHT FOLLOWING BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES, THE DRIVER WILL BECOME ANNOYED IN FRONT THINKING THAT I AM PURPOSEFULLY FLICKERING OR FLASHING THE HEADLIGHTS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO SPEED UP OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. THIS CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2018 AND REMAINS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED TWICE WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THE DEALER (HONDA SUPERSTORE OF LISLE, 4475 LINCOLN AVE, LISLE, IL 60532, (630) 852-7200) REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD THE FIRST TIME, BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WENT TO SPEAK TO THE DEALER UPON THE SECOND WINDSHIELD CRACK, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE POSSIBILITY OF DEFECTIVE GLASS OR COVER THE WINDSHIELD REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND SIDED WITH THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.
UPON STARTUP OF THE VEHICLE, A STRONG BURNING SMELL WAS SENSED. THE VEHICLE WAS BRIEFLY PUT INTO A SLOW REVERSE TO TAKE IT OUT OF THE GARAGE AND A VERY ROUGH IDLE STARTED, BLACK SMOKE APPEARED OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE AND EVERY POSSIBLE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED ONE AFTER THE OTHER ON THE DASH. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN BRIEFLY PUT INTO DRIVE FOR A COUPLE INCHES FORWARD BACK INTO THE GARAGE WITH VERY LITTLE POWER ON ACCELERATION AND AN EVEN STRONGER BURNING SMELL. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HAVING THE CAR TOWED IN TO BE EVALUATED. UPON EVALUATION THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ISSUE WAS A LEAKING FUEL INJECTOR CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL RAIL DESIGN FROM THE FACTORY. THE INJECTOR LEAK CAUSED TOO MUCH FUEL TO BE PUT INTO THE CYLINDER CAUSING THE SPARK PLUGS TO FOWL OUT. THE DEALER STATED HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE ALSO IN 2018 MODELS AND THEY ASSUMED THEY WOULD HAVE CORRECTED THE FUEL RAIL DESIGN FOR THE 2019 MODEL. THE DEALER THEN ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT MAKE ANY REPAIR UNTIL THE REDESIGNED FUEL RAIL WAS RELEASED A MONTH FROM NOW. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW 2 MONTHS AGO AND CURRENTLY HAS APX 5,000 MILES. THE FACT THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY AN ERROR IN THE FUEL RAIL DESIGN FROM THE FACTORY INDICATES THE PROBLEM LIKELY HAS BEEN CAUSING DAMAGE AND POSING A SAFETY RISK OF POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE FROM THE LEAKING FUEL INJECTOR THE ENTIRE 5,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP. ALSO, IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THE LEAK MAY AFFECT THE ENGINE IN THE FUTURE DUE TO THE LEAK AND DESIGN FLAW PERSISTING SINCE IT WAS SOLD NEW FROM THE FACTORY.
I RETURNED HOME FROM PICKING UP MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL, AND THE PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WOULD NOT CLOSE. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD NO ANSWER BUT TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THEM. BRAND NEW, 6 DAYS OLD HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE 2019, POWER SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE ELECTRICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP.
VEHICLES IN MOTION ON FREEWAY AND CITY ROADS. DASH WARNING LIGHTS GO HAYWIRE WHEN DRIVING. LOSS OF OF LANE KEEP ASSIST AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. ALL WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON. DEALERSHIP RESET THE COMPUTER BUT ISSUE NOT RESOLVED. ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE OCTOBER 2018. HONDA ROSEVILLE AUTOMALL DEALERSHIP MADE REPAIRS YESTERDAY 12/27/18 BY RESETTING COMPUTER. STILL DID NOT FIX PROBLEM.
CAR SHIFTS INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING
(EVENT 1 AND 2 HAPPENED 10 MINUTES APART) OUR NEW VAN SHIFTS IN THE PARK WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (62 MPH). WE TOOK IT TO FREEWAY HONDA THE FIRST TIME AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO RENDER ANY ERRORS, SO THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO US. (EVENT 3) OCCURRED ON 12/16/2018 AROUND 11:42 AM. WE WERE DRIVING NEAR THE 405/5 Y MERGE AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. WE WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE THIS EVENT ON VIDEO AND HERE IS THE DIRECT YOUTUBE LINK TO THE EVENT: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/KIZTKMOYI-M . CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THEY WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS ALSO A "CRASH MITIGATION ERROR" THAT APPEARS IN OUR INSTRUMENT PANEL FROM TIME TO TIME THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE AND CANNOT FIX.
VEHICLE IS PROHIBITED FROM SHIFTING TRANSMISSION OUT OF PARK WHEN ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. IF VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND WILL NOT RE-START AND VEHICLE IS IN UNSAFE LOCATION (I.E. IN A ROADWAY), THE PUSH-BUTTON TRANSMISSION PROHIBITS SHIFTING THE CAR TO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROADWAY OR TO LOAD ON A FLATBED TOW TRUCK. THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF THE VEHICLE IS PROHIBITED FROM BEING MOVED IF IT IS UNABLE TO START THE MOTOR BUT THE VEHICLE STOPS IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS LOCATION (RAILROAD TRACKS, INTERSECTION, ETC).
I BOUGHT MY 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L NAVI RES YESTERDAY ON 9/15/18. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND STATIONARY, I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR USING THE DRIVER BUTTON. IT WOULD OPEN AND THEN ABOUT HALFWAY IT WOULD CLOSE. I ATTEMPTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULT. I THEN TRIED TO OPEN USING THE PASSENGER EXTERIOR HANDLES BUT STILL THE SAME RESULT. WHEN IT STARTED TO CLOSE AGAIN I TRIED TO SEE IF IT WOULD OPEN IF I MANUALLY DID IT BUT IT ALMOST CRUSHED MY HAND. LUCKILY IT WAS ONLY MY SHIRT THAT GOT STUCK. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE IT OPEN USING MY SHOULDERS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 178 MILES.
1. 2ND ROW DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS DO NOT "LOCK" INTO PLACE WHEN FOLDED FORWARD, CREATING A "FREE FLYING" SEAT WHEN DRIVING/IN MOTION AND AN ENTRAPMENT ISSUE WHEN PARKED FOR 3RD ROW PASSENGERS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE 3RD ROW. THIS IS SPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON A HILL. MY 3 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN HIT AND INJURED BY THE SEAT ON A SEVERAL OCCASIONS. 2. ENGINE LURCHES AND STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. STALLING CAUSES POTENTIAL RISK FOR ACCIDENT. 3. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN ON OCCASION. THIS MEANS GETTING 2ND AND 3RD ROW PASSENGERS OUT OF TRUNK OR CLIMBING THROUGH TO DRIVER/PASSENGER SEAT. ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE 1 AND 3. HAD NO SOLUTION FOR #2 (A SIMPLE LOCKING ADDITION TO THE SEAT FOOTING WOULD FIX #2, TOYOTA SIENNA'S LOCK ON PLACE)
Component Failure Cascade Risk
Known patterns where one defect leads to more severe downstream failures
▸ Head gasket failure and engine overheating — EGR cooler failure is the leading cause of catastrophic engine failure on diesel engines
▸ Valve and piston damage — timing chain/belt failure causes immediate catastrophic engine damage at any speed
▸ Engine stalling at speed — fuel delivery failure can cause sudden loss of power in traffic or on highways
▸ Loss of brake assist and ABS in emergency — can significantly extend stopping distances
▸ Complete transmission failure — repair costs $3,000–$8,000+; vehicle may become undriveable
Complaint & Reliability Timeline
Annual complaints (blue) vs. composite reliability score (amber) — recall years marked in red
The blue line shows 873 total NHTSA complaints filed over 9 years, with the worst year being 2025 (232 complaints, including 4 crash reports).
The amber reliability line is declining — recent years score around 75/100, lower than earlier in the vehicle's life. This pattern indicates issues are accumulating over time rather than being resolved, which is a concern for used buyers.
The recalls (red dashed lines) were issued in the same year or before complaints peaked, suggesting the manufacturer identified and acted on the defect relatively quickly.
Red dots on the amber line flag 6 years (2019, 2020, 2021, 2024, 2025, 2026) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
