In May 2025, the front-facing windshield-mounted monocular multi-purpose camera unit abruptly failed in our 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite. The vehicle had ~53,000 miles on the odometer at the time. This resulted in essentially all of the warning lights showing/cycling on the dashboard display and total failure of the safety features dependent on this camera system (adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, etc). The unit had to be completely replaced and calibrated by my local Honda dealer.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the message "Right Sliding Door Failure" was displayed. The contact was forced to pull over and manually close the door for the door to latch securely. The failure returned after the contact resumed normal driving. The contact stated that a message in red stating "Stop Immediately" and another message "Right Sliding Door Failure" was displayed while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was provided estimates for a diagnostic test and the repair. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline by the dealer to report the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.

I have a 2018 odyssey EXL I been getting messages from right sliding door problem and during the drive after 12 or 13 miles was getting sign was saying stop the vehicle and door sign is keep flushing saying right sliding door problem

Our 2018 Honda Odyssey repeatedly and without warning completely loses acceleration power, creating extremely dangerous driving conditions. This occurs in two distinct situations:(1)while driving at highway speeds when attempting to change lanes or accelerate, and(2)when stopped at a stop sign or intersection and pressing the gas to merge into or turn into traffic. In both situations, pressing the accelerator results in little to no response — the vehicle will roll but fails to accelerate as needed. These failures have placed our family in multiple life-threatening situations. On Interstate 285 in Atlanta, Georgia — one of the busiest and highest-speed highways in the country — our vehicle has failed to accelerate during lane changes on multiple occasions, nearly causing serious accidents. Most recently, within the past week, my husband was driving on I-285 when he pressed the accelerator and the vehicle had absolutely zero acceleration response. He narrowly avoided a collision. We have also experienced complete loss of acceleration when turning from a stop sign into traffic and when merging — situations where immediate acceleration is critical to safety. The vehicle lags for several seconds before any power is delivered to the wheels, leaving us dangerously exposed in oncoming traffic. All manufacturer recalls have been completed, including the fuel pump recall. The problem persists and has not been resolved by any dealer service or recall repair performed to date. We are aware that this is a known, widespread defect affecting 2018 Honda Odysseys equipped with the ZF 9-speed automatic transmission. Hundreds of other owners have reported identical symptoms to NHTSA and to Honda directly. Honda has acknowledged the transmission's behavior to some owners but has stated it is "how the car is supposed to drive" — a response that is wholly unacceptable given the documented near-accidents this defect is causing.We are requesting that NHTSA open or expand its investigation

When driving the transmission is slipping meaning it jerks forward when accelerating on the road.

While driving on a clear road, with or without heavy traffic, the collision mitigation warning shows up on the dashboard display. Sometimes the warning for the collision system goes off and the system tries to brake and jerk the wheel. If I have the wheel firmly I can correct it and it resolves. It can happen on a clear road with no one around or in heavy traffic. Yesterday it happened in a single lane with barriers on both sides, a road around Logan Airport in Boston, with no vehicles ahead of me. The car tried to steer me into the barrier. I was doing less than 25 MPH. The warning had been going off for a while but now that the steering and braking are involved it’s much more serious. I reported it to the dealer. They said they did a system check and couldn’t find a fault. The braking and steering problem first occurred about a month ago. The warning by itself has been happening intermittently for over a year. This happens even when the collision mitigation system is turned OFF. This is a terribly unsafe issue. If my wife had been driving I don’t know if she could have corrected. PLEASE ACT AND ISSUE A RECALL!

I am reporting a dangerous and recurring transmission defect in my 2018 Honda Odyssey equipped with the ZF 9-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle experiences sudden and unpredictable delayed acceleration, particularly at low speeds. When attempting to accelerate from a complete stop or at speeds below 25 mph, the transmission fails to engage properly, leaving the vehicle stranded in the middle of traffic with no power response for several seconds. This creates an extreme safety hazard, as other vehicles may collide with mine while I wait for the transmission to respond. The condition is intermittent and unpredictable, making it impossible to anticipate when it will occur. It happens most frequently when accelerating from intersections, merging into traffic, or navigating through slow-moving areas. Honda has acknowledged this defect through TSB 19-124 (issued December 2019), which addresses harsh and jerky upshifts in 2018–2019 Odysseys with the 9-speed transmission. However, the TSB does not fully resolve the issue. A class action lawsuit [XXX] et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Case No. 5:23-cv-05011-BLF, N.D. [XXX] ) is currently pending for this exact defect. I am requesting that NHTSA open a formal investigation and consider issuing a safety recall, as the delayed acceleration constitutes a serious risk of collision and injury.

our honda odyssey 2018 elite - has a failed windshield monocular camera - original part (36160 - THR - A73) failure is a u3000-49 error. This failure causes most of the advanced safety features of the vehicle to not be operational. see these dashboard errors: Collision Mitigation System Problem Road Departure Mitigation System Problem Auto High Beam Problem Adaptive Cruise Control Problem Current repair cost from a dealership can exceed $2000. I've researched many forums and this seems to be a very common problem among Honda Odysseys of similar year range. I fee like Honda should issue a recall and replacement for owners since this involves many of the saftey features of the vehicle and cost is very prohibitive to fix for many of us.

The roof leaks in the LH rear of the van under the roof strip thru a bolt or bad seam rfom a bad build causing the Power Unit Liftgate Module PN - 74970-THR-A11 to get wet and sit in water causing a short to the battery, The sliding doors to fail and the rear liftgate to fail which is a safety hazard if someone cannot exit the vehicle in an emergency. It is also a fire potential. This should be a safety recall at Hondas expense. The world wide web is flooded with videos and forums pertaining to this exact issue and Honda has not stepped up to the plate and addressed this issue.

Rear hatch power door issue indicated on dash display, and complete failure of powered door feature. Investigation finds many other drivers of this make/model/year have issues with faulty seals allowing water intrusion into circuitry in left rear panel where the power lift fat control unit box is, causing damage to the circuitry. Other drivers have described more widespread electrical issues, some even causing the gate to unlatch while the vehicle is in motion. Upon inspection of my personal vehicle, signs of water damage were found both in the base of the area covered by the panel and within the circuit box and panel itself, confirming these suspicions.

I am writing to formally report an issue with my 2018 Honda Odyssey. I recently discovered water seepage in the rear trunk area, which has caused moisture buildup and potential interior damage. After researching the issue online, I learned that many other 2018 Odyssey owners have reported the same water‑leak problem, indicating that this may be a known manufacturing or design defect. Despite similar complaints, I have not seen any acknowledgement, recall, or official response from Honda addressing this issue. As a long-time Honda customer, I am disappointed that such a significant problem—one that can lead to corrosion, mold, and electrical complications—has not been proactively addressed. I am requesting: An inspection and repair at no cost, as this appears to be a widespread defect. Clarification on whether Honda is investigating or planning to address this known issue. Assurance that any related damage caused by the water seepage will also be covered. I take pride in maintaining my vehicle, and I expect a reliable, defect-free experience from a brand like Honda. I hope Honda will take this matter seriously and provide a prompt resolution

My Odyssey began to shudder and misfire. Luckily, I was in a parking lot when it happened. It stopped running. Several attempts to restart were unsuccessful. Once when it did start, it was missing and would barely move. After about 15 minutes, I was able to get it started and get home (a little over 2 miles). I installed my code checker to find the problem. I initially had 22 codes - including P0301-P0306, P0300 and P0087. I waited a while and re-ran the test. The P0087 continued to show. I did not attempt to drive it anymore until the next day, when I took it to Canady & Branch (Auto Repair). They checked for codes and also had the P0087 code. They called and informed me of the issue and indicated that it involves the fuel pump. They also indicated that there were recalls for the Honda Odyssey for the fuel system:fuel pump. I contacted Priority Honda to determine if this would be covered under a recall. I was told that the recall did not involve my Odyssey. I needed my vehicle, so I had Canady & Branch make the necessary repair ($874.42 - the diagnostic was an additional $77). I spoke to Honda USA today and was informed that they do not cover 3rd party work and reiterated that my vehicle was not on the recall list. I was told that IT HAD BEEN on the list but was removed in March of 2024.

Our 2018 Honda Odyssey (Elite) has been diagnosed by our local Honda dealer with engine failure due to rod knock (rod bearing failure). This vehicle is well maintained with only 72,500 miles when the issue became noticeable. The dealer has verbally quoted $8,800 to replace the engine with another used engine, which I refuse to pay given the relatively low mileage and age of this vehicle (and history of other costly inexcusable issues). I opened a complaint/goodwill case (#16188784) with Honda Corporate, which was denied. This Honda Odyssey was our primary family vehicle (the only vehicle we can all travel together in), and it is now siting in our garage completely inoperable. Honda America's lack of care here is beyond frustrating.

While driving on the highway, the engine light came on and off. Pulling over, I inspected the engine compartment and heard what I believe was cylinder knocking, but could not obtain an engine code with an OBD code reader. Oil was of sufficient level as it had just been replaced within 1,000. After this I attempted to drive it to the dealership, where on going 45 MPH, I pulled to the right lane for emergency police vehicles and when the vehicle was stopped, the engine stopped and seized up. After not being able to start the vehicle, I could not find the neutral safety switch to put the transmission in neutral to move the vehicle from the flow of traffic (turns out the switch is not readily accessible and is on the side of the transmission underneath the air intake and battery compartment. Police officers pulled behind the vehicle and assisted me in getting a tow truck to take the vehicle to the dealership for inspection. At Coggin Honda in Jacksonville, the vehicle was inspected and the engine would not turn over manually by the crankshaft. The engine was deemed to have catastrophic failure and would need to be replaced at 126,000 miles. This vehicle is a 2018 which is on TSB 24-003, however is not listed on the applicable VINs. This TSB is for connecting bearing rod failure which would lock this vehicle’s engine the way the dealership found it. I believe this to be the issue as several Honda engines have had this failure. The vehicle was maintained per Honda’s maintenance programs and even had an extended warranty of up to 100,000 miles which when the TSB the vehicle was underneath that mileage and would have been covered by Honda if they had released the full list of VINs for that year to be inspected instead of a sub list of VINs of the production. Honda needs to be investigated to see if that TSB needs to be expanded since 2023-2024 timeframe other users have had a similar failure and seized engines.

2018 Honda Odyssey rear tailgate problems, What was the issue? Problem is because water is leaking from the roof rails onto the tailgate module, causing the power liftgate control unit to short circuit, leading to unintended opening/closing or complete failure.I checked every fuse and my tail gate still wont open! tailgate module failed due to leak on the roof rail. The "holes" are three very small spots that the weld didn't cover.......

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. While driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a loud sound coming from the vehicle with unknown warning lights flashing on the instrument panel. The vehicle was drivable during the failure. On another occasion, the brake warning light flashed on the instrument panel, and the brakes slightly depressed independently, and the driver then fully depressed the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a monocular camera failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

One week ago, I was driving on a highway, accelerating to the 65 MPH speed limit on that road, my van's accelerator completely stopped responding. Despite pumping the pedal repeatedly, I was unable to control my speed at all, and the car continued to lose speed. I had my three children in the car at the time, and given that people regularly go in excess of 70 MPH on that road, I was in danger of not being able to exit the road and/or being hit. I was able to coast off of onto an exit, and the car started responding at speeds of 30 MPH, but it was lurching and jerking while driving. We immediately had the vehicle inspected by an independent mechanic and have been advised that the transmission needs to be replaced. There were no warning lights for this failure. The car also had an incident about a year ago where all lights came on and it stopped responding. At that time, we had Honda dealership examine it, and they said they could not find any issues. Additionally, the car has been jerking slightly while shifting, but the issue improved when we had the transmission fluid flushed at the Honda dealership again about a month ago, and no issues were noted by them at that time. We have performed regular maintenance and safety inspections on this vehicle.

Upon further investigation, LOTS of 2018 Honda Odysseys are experiencing the same problem I am. There is a leak coming in from the top of the van in the rear that causes water to leak through and overtime damages the control unit in the back. Damage to this causes my power lift gate to completely stop working, my passenger drive door to stop working, and a bunch of features like the front collision warning, the lane departure, sensors, fog lights, so on to fail and go on and off. I had problems here and there with it but it wasn’t until it rained 4 days straight that I made the connection with the leak and started trying to figure out the problem. I took it to the Honda Dealership to get diagnosed and they confirmed this problem. We have not been in any accidents to cause body damage to the vehicle.

Over a year ago, my vehicles engine began ticking. On 12/14/2024, while driving the vehicle, it developed a rod knock, went into a limp mode and was towed back to our house. I eventually took the vehicle to Honda in Beaumont, Tx where they did an inspection of the vehicle and verbally told me it was the crankshaft, but would not provide me any documentation stating that. According to the lady at the desk, the service tech had never seen or heard of an issue like this in these vans. I was quoted almost $10,000 to replace the engine with a salvage yard engine with almost as many miles on it. I knew prior to taking it to Honda that there was a recall that did not cover my vehicle regarding this same issue. The vehicle is still parked at my house being started occasionally to keep battery charged.

Intermittent electrical failure with the front monocular camera confirmed via DTC codes. Upon inspection, Camera is hot to the touch and all ADAS systems on the vehicle cut on/off with warning lights while driving. Was going down interstate utilizing ACC, system cut off throwing warning codes, then disappeared, then came back on. System continues to have intermittent issues indicating a failing camera. Even after 1-2 minutes of idle - camera is extremely hot when touching module underneath decorative garnish.

The Camera module failed in our van and gave us a U3000-49 code which caused the vehicle to lose Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) functions on the vehicle with a cost to fix from Honda of $ 2,475.56.

Vehicle experiences engine stalling and failure to restart at intersections when the Auto Idle Stop (AIS) feature is engaged. This creates an immediate life-safety hazard as the vehicle becomes non-functional in live traffic. This has occurred 2 times. Once on surface streets and once on the highway in stop-and-go traffic. This issue persists despite Service Bulletins 23-008 and 23-009. Honda Corporate and Honda Dealership refusing to cover the repair. Separately, during a 37-day repair attempt (Jan 22 – March 2, 2026), AutoNation Honda Chandler admitted the vehicle was sold with an 'incorrect' battery type (Lead Acid instead of required AGM), which caused electrical instability. The dealership attempted a repair on Feb 13, but the vehicle failed to start again on Feb 11 during a pickup attempt. The dealer has since refused to provide accurate service records or further communication. The vehicle remains unsafe to drive as it continues to stall randomly.

Power lift gate and power sliding doors failure alerts keeping showing up. They flash on and off on the display even while driving which can be very disruptive. The issue occurs randomly every few weeks The dealer quoted close to $2000 to attempt to fix it

I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding a dangerous manufacturing defect in my 2018 Honda Odyssey EX . A structural failure of the factory roof seam sealer (ditch molding) is allowing rainwater to pour directly into the vehicle's cabin, severely compromising critical electrical modules and creating major safety hazards. This water intrusion has caused two distinct and dangerous electrical failures: 1. Entrapment Hazard (Power Sliding Doors): Previously, water leaked into the rear fuse box area, causing the power sliding doors to completely fail and become completely unopenable. Transporting a [XXX] and a [XXX] in the rear seats, the sudden inability to open the sliding doors creates a terrifying entrapment hazard. In the event of an accident, fire, or emergency, I would be unable to evacuate my young children from the rear cabin quickly, posing an immediate threat to their lives. 2. Cargo and Security Hazard (Power Tailgate Control Module): Currently, the water leak has short-circuited the Power Tailgate Control Module. The system operates erratically: the tailgate automatically pops open as soon as the engine is turned off, and it refuses to open manually. Beyond the security risk, this electrical short could cause the tailgate to unlatch unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion or stopped in traffic, potentially dropping cargo onto the roadway and creating a crash hazard for other drivers, or allowing carbon monoxide exhaust to enter the passenger cabin. This is a well-documented and widespread structural defect affecting many 2018-generation Honda Odysseys. Water destroying critical safety modules (doors and tailgates) is a severe design flaw that goes far beyond normal wear and tear. I strongly urge NHTSA to open a formal investigation into the roof seam sealer failures on the 2018 Honda Odyssey. A safety recall is necessary to force Honda to repair the structural leaks and replace the compromi INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Before my vehicle reached the 100,000-mile mark, the check engine light began appearing intermittently. I brought the car to my local dealership multiple times, but they were unable to provide a diagnosis and repeatedly reset the light. Once the light remained on permanently, the dealer finally identified a known Honda recall/extended warranty issue and replaced the spark plugs at no cost. However, approximately six months after that repair, the check engine light returned. The dealership has now diagnosed a failure in both the front and rear catalytic converters at a cost of $5200 to replace them. I need to replace to pass my state of Illinois car emissions tests. I have been working with Honda Goodwill Assistance (Case #161-655-70), but their offer to cover only 20% of the replacement cost is unacceptable. This failure is not a standard "wear and tear" issue; it is a direct consequence of the spark plug issues I repeatedly attempted to address before my warranty expired. I was told the 20% determination was based on my vehicle exceeding 100,000 miles, but this fails to account for the fact that I brought the car in for this specific issue multiple times while it was still under warranty. I am looking for Honda corporate to acknoweldge the new spark plugs they directed my dealer to install caused this issue and cover the cost of the repairs. My local Honda dealer service manager, Brian, is willing to speak on this issue on my behalf. He can be reached at [XXX] .

Issue Description: My 2018 Honda Odyssey (VIN: [XXX] ) has a total failure of the Multipurpose Camera, permanently disabling the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), and Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS). In addition to these, the regular Cruise Control is also disabled. These are primary safety systems, not elective conveniences. Persistent Failure: Errors occur immediately upon every startup. Mid-Drive Danger: Systems have deactivated multiple times while in motion, causing sudden, unpredictable loss of driver-assist features at highway speeds. Total Loss of Control: Both Adaptive and Standard Cruise Control are completely disabled, forcing manual-only operation. Infrastructure Failure: The failure prevents the vehicle from recognizing lane markings (RDM/LKAS), leaving the car unable to assist in steering corrections. Safety Risk: The vehicle can no longer perform emergency braking or provide collision alerts, significantly increasing the risk of high-speed crashes. This is a premature failure of a non-wear safety electronic at 91k miles. It is a severe safety defect that leaves the vehicle unequipped with the crash-prevention technology it was designed to have. Manufacturer Response: American Honda (Case #16167889) and NCDS (Case #XXX) denied assistance, citing the expired 3yr/36k warranty. I contend this is an extension of the known electrical architecture defects in this model year (e.g., Recall 23V-431), and a component intended for the life of the vehicle should not fail such that it disables multiple safety systems simultaneously.

Engine failed while driving, will no longer start. Mechanic believe it is either connecting rod or main bearing failure. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer and will be sold to another person as is. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to the failure and didn't appear until after the failure.

The vehicle previously received a manufacturer dash wiring recall repair. After the recall repair was completed, the vehicle began experiencing intermittent and cascading electrical and communication failures across multiple integrated systems. Affected systems include Apple CarPlay, the DVD system, in-vehicle camera systems, CabinWatch, and repeated “MOST network unavailable” error messages. These failures occur intermittently and result in multiple systems disabling simultaneously. The vehicle was inspected by a Honda dealership, which confirmed the issue involves wiring within the dash harness. The dealership stated the affected wiring is not sold or serviceable separately and that correction would require replacement of the entire dash harness, but that this portion of the harness is not included in the original recall coverage. Because these systems share common power and communication pathways, failures cascade across multiple modules. When the camera system fails, rear view camera functionality and related warnings are unavailable while backing up, reducing the driver’s ability to detect obstacles, pedestrians, or children behind the vehicle. When CabinWatch is unavailable, the driver is unable to visually monitor children seated in the rear rows while driving, which affects situational awareness and the ability to respond quickly to unsafe conditions inside the vehicle. These failures also impact driver information systems and create intermittent loss of critical visual feedback, increasing driver distraction as systems drop out unexpectedly while the vehicle is in operation. The condition began after the recall repair and appears to be related to or a continuation of the original recall defect. The vehicle remains available for inspection, and the condition has been confirmed by a manufacturer-authorized dealer.

Bought vehicle new at Millennium Honda, Hempstead New York.Vehicle is not going into reverse when vehicle gets hot. My mileage is 40,512 took it Millennium Honda on October 4, 2025, for diagnostic testing error code P0736 was diagnosed and that my transmission would need’s replacing at a cost of $11,495 for parts and labor, because I was a couple months out of warranty. I have since reached out to Corporate but negative response. I am unable to use my vehicle since which have been at an additional expense to me as I have to maintain insurance and pay for bus, train and taxi services. Not sure what kind of assistance you can offer or even assist in investigating why a vehicle with 40,000 would need a new transmission after moderate use. Thanks for your consideration on this matter.

The multipurpose camera that works to provide all the safety features failed In less than 8 years. These should be lasting for the life of the vehicle. There should be a recall for this.

Defective body seam on roof panel over drivers side rear wheel - resulting water leak on control panel for power liftgate caused the rear tailgate to continually open and close while driving. The vehicle was parked and the fuses controlling the tailgate were removed to enable the closure of the hatch and allow vehicle operation. Prior to this, the vehicle battery died while parked due to the continuous tailgate operation and required a battery jump. The vehicle was taken to D&J Auto (an independent service center) where a previous liftgate control panel was replaced for failure to open the tailgate. A search of the internet on 2018 Honda Odyessey liftgate problems revealed multiple instances of water leaks on the liftgate control panels due to body seam issues which caused liftgate failures. This information was relayed to the auto repair shop where the leak was discovered. The vehicle was taken to a body repair shop across the street where the seam was fixed, returned to the auto repair shop where a third tailgate control panel installed.

Engine has a rod knock problem at 72,000, miles. Vehicle will likely need a full engine replacement.

Water leaked through manufacting seams on rear drivers side of roof causing tailgate module to malfunction and creating a safety hazard. The rear tailgate would not stay latched or function at all. Took vehicle to honda of Bristol and they confirmed the problem.

A small "knocking" noise was noticed a couple weeks or so ago in my 2018 Honda Odyssey. Noise got progressively worse. Vehicle was taken to the Honda Dealership for assessment/repair. Was notified by a service technician that a rod knock was present on the lower end of the engine and that the engine needed to be replaced. Options were: new engine, used engine, or trade in my vehicle towards purchase of a new one. All maintenance records are meticulous and performed by a certified Honda service department.

Upon pressing the accelerator from a complete stop, the vehicle does not respond right away. The main incident was when traveling around 50 miles per hour on a highway, the van shifted into neutral on its own and the accelerator would not respond. An error message of transmission failure showed on the dash briefly. The van had to coast through traffic an eventually push off the road.

I am reporting a safety incident involving the power sliding door system on my 2018 Honda Odyssey. Today, Monday, February 9th 2026, my 3 year old child’s arm was caught and compressed by the power sliding door. At the time, she pressed the interior door button while I simultaneously pulled the exterior door handle. The door began to open, my child placed her arm out, and the door then closed on her arm instead of reversing. The door did not release or reverse automatically. I was unable to open it using the exterior handle and had to stretch to the front dashboard, left sliding door open button to stop and reopen the door to free her arm. Thankfully this didn’t happen on the passenger side sliding door! This resulted in redness, swelling, and pain, and she later woke from sleep crying due to increased pain. She is undergoing medical evaluation. The vehicle is equipped with pinch protection sensors that failed to prevent this injury. This appears to be a serious safety malfunction involving a child. I am submitting this report so the issue can be documented and reviewed for potential investigation. I have not seen a recall involving the sliding doors sensors having this issue.

This is in relation to Investigation PE25008. The engine in my 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite failed at 91,307 miles due to a connecting rod bearing issue, despite perfect dealership maintenance.

The front facing camera has stopped working. Anytime we turn the vehicle on we get multiple warning lights (lane assist, cruise control, bright lights, braking, etc) aren't working.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while reversing, the back over prevention camera screen failed to display an image. The contact stated that the screen occasionally shut off unintendedly, and frequently disconnected from connected Bluetooth devices. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 52,750.

The vehicle started running rough and the check engine light with other error lights were coming on the dashboard display. 1. Engine Failure due to connecting rod/bearings 2. Vehicle ran rough and struggled to start 3. Problem was reproduced and confirmed by dealer (as seen in attached invoice) 4. Vehicle has been inspected 5. No warning lamps or messages prior to incident Sortly after I replaced my engine (per dealer recommendation) Honda released a recall (NHTSA Recall No. : 23V-751) but said that my vehicle was not covered under -- even though it appeared to have the exact same issue as my vehicle... they said that the recall was only for a smaller set for engines produced as a specific manufacturing plant... and I believe that it is likely more wide spread.

Rod bearing knock

Engine knock due to a spun bearing

Vehicle lags in acceleration from a slow rolling start, at random times. There is a clear 1-2 second lag in the acceleration, then a sudden harsh shift into gear. Mostly happens during turns, and if traffic is present, may cause an accident. Also when traveling at low speeds 20-35 mph, there is a transmission jutter. Have spoken with service reps at dealerships and they claim to have no knowledge of these transmission issues

2018 Honda Odyssey (10-speed automatic transmission) What happened: The vehicle is experiencing intermittent loss of reverse and delayed gear engagement from a stop. When shifting into reverse or drive, the engine revs but the vehicle does not immediately move, then jerks into gear. The issue is worse when cold. Warning lights / codes: Check Engine Light on. Honda dealer retrieved diagnostic trouble code P0763 – Shift Solenoid C Electrical. The code returned as a hard code after being cleared. Safety risk: The vehicle hesitates or fails to move when shifting into reverse or from a stop, creating a safety risk in traffic, parking situations, and when backing up. Current status: Diagnosed by Honda dealership. Repair recommended. Honda corporate case opened.

We turned the car on and got an ACC, LKAS, FCS, AHL errors due to the front sensor and the camera failing. This is an issue that many Honda owners are dealing with. The issue will not allow you to use cruise control and will disable 90% of the safety features we bought this vehicle for. The car drives fine but the safety of those in the car is affected by this error and needs to be recalled due to the number of complaints of this issue. There were no errors or warning signs prior to this happening.

Multiple warnings on dashboard due to windshield camera malfunction. Many vehicles of the same model have this problem. This is a part defect and should be recalled. Thank you

After I received a software update for my 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite the car has been stalling when idle. It is very dangerous because I will be at a stop light in drive, and the vehicle will shut off with no power. Cars will be behind me or no cars, and I have almost been rear ended. I did not have this problem until I received the new software update. It keeps occurring more and more often.

I own a 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite. While driving to ER for my daughter engine started making weird knocking sounds, when I stopped at a red light to turn left off the interstate Odyssey just died and began to smoke. My daughter and I were advised to get out of the vehicle for safety reasons, due to smoke. There was no warning lights or any other indication that the Odyssey had a problem. 911 was contacted fire and police responded, it was determined that engine reached max temperature. Odyssey was towed to Honda dealer for diagnostics, it was determined that connecting rod bearing was bad and long block needed to be replaced, starter also imploded and needed to be replaced. I contacted manufacturer to ask for a "Goodwill Repair" due to NHTSA Campaign Number 23V751000. Per manufacturer Honda would not offer any assistance for the engine repair even though recall matches exact part affected in the recall. All regular maintenance oil changes, 100,000 mile service, new tires, have been performed on the Odyssey. I can provide receipts and records. The failure mileage was 167,384.

My car needs a complete engine replacement due to "rod knock" or "bottom-end failures." It's my understanding that some Honda vehicles were recalled due to this (Recall 23V-751). And that there were other vehicles having issues beyond the scope of this recall (Query RQ24013). I'm disappointed because my Honda mechanic and independent mechanic have cited my impeccable service records and have told me there is nothing more I could have done. This feels fraudulent.

2018 Odyssey EXL engine seized up at 111k miles. There's now a bunch of metal shavings in the oil. The engine will not turn over.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while stopped at a stop light and attempting to make a left turn on an exit, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine. The contact called 911 and the Fire Department; however, there was no fire. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the engine and starter 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 confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 167,000.

A rattle noise when initially pressing the accelerator pedal. When starting a vehicle, I had to press the start button multiple times. Kept stalling. All the lights on a dashboard started flashing. Saying check engine! We took it to the dealership and they confirmed engine problems. This was their diagnosis: Confirmed concern - found noise coming from engine internally due to CYL NO 2 rod knocking - oil heavily contaminated w/metal particles - recommend engine replacement! Mileage is only 93805.

My computer screen that has my radio and backup camera will black out randomly while I’m driving. There are times I can’t use it for a backup camera because it won’t cut on. I’m not able to control my heat and a/c when it goes blank too.

Since I own this vehicle, 3 times tailgate failed. I have done repair it twice in Honda dealership at Paramus NJ. Now it happened again after a year of last fix. Instrument cluster = Warning sign appears stays there. Somewhere on back = Constantly sound beeping - When driving Tailgate = Does not open and if open some how, it does not close. Neither automatic nor manually. I have to drive vehicle since I have no choice. I inspected all fuse in front under hood and in rear at cargo area.

Vehicle: 2018 Honda Odyssey Component: Suspension – Rear Shock Absorbers Mileage at Failure: ~50,000 miles I am submitting this complaint to report a premature and potentially unsafe failure of the rear shock absorbers on my 2018 Honda Odyssey, as well as what appears to be a systemic defect affecting 2018–2024 Honda Odyssey vehicles. At approximately 50,000 miles, the rear shocks on my vehicle failed suddenly. Inspection revealed that the upper portion of the shock absorber housing had rusted completely through the metal, causing the internal hydraulic fluid to leak out and rendering the shock absorber inoperable. This is not surface corrosion—the metal housing itself failed structurally. The affected component is the factory-installed rear shock absorber, Honda part number 52610-THR-A02. Based on owner reports and service findings, this failure appears to be common across 2018–2024 Honda Odyssey models, typically occurring between 50,000 and 80,000 miles, often shortly after the factory warranty expires. Rear shock absorbers are sealed, safety-critical suspension components. They are not expected to rust through the metal housing or leak fluid within 6–7 years of normal use. This type of failure suggests a materials, coating, or design defect, rather than normal wear and tear. Failure of rear shocks can negatively impact vehicle stability, ride control, braking performance, and passenger safety, particularly in emergency maneuvers or adverse road conditions. Given that the Honda Odyssey is marketed as a family vehicle, this raises significant safety concerns. Due to the repeated nature of this failure across multiple model years, I believe this issue warrants investigation by NHTSA for a potential defect trend and consideration of corrective action.

The multipurpose camera failed showing lot of error codes. This affects the braking system putting my family and kids in risk. Honda is asking 2000$ to fix the camera.

The transmission failed at 108k miles. Honda is charging 10000USD for repair. They want to replace the 9 speed transmission. This transmission is notorious for failure and Honda hasn’t issued a recall yet.

The Tailgate Control Module failed due to water getting in to it from normal rain. There seems to be a leak in the seam and caused the failure. I took it to the shop and confirmed the failure, purchased a new control module and replaced the faulty one. I opened up the faulty one and it had water damage inside.

Camera projector fail and 6 warning ️ lights came on, very common issue.

Engine damage from connecting rod bearing wear. The dealer inspected the vehicle. The dealer confirmed that the damage was caused by a connecting rod bearing. The engine had to be replaced. I was told by the dealer that the VIN did not fall within the recall range. Therefore, I had to pay for the engine replacement myself. The engine damage was the same as the NHTSA ID Number: 23V751000 recall.

My vehicle stalls when I turn left or right from a stop light or sign. It’s incredibly dangerous especially when I have my kids in the van with me. We’ve taken it to the Honda dealer for repair and they’ve done work but the issue has not been resolved. I’ve seen countless forums of people with this year make and model who have had the same issue. I don’t know why there’s been no recall but someone is going to get seriously hurt if this issue is not resolved.

Camera/Honda Sensing failure (U3000-49 code), causing loss of safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, collision mitigation

The front-facing camera responsible for detecting surrounding traffic is malfunctioning, which in turn compromises several critical safety systems. These include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. All of these features depend on the proper functioning of this camera. The vehicle has never been involved in a collision, and the camera was neither abused nor damaged. The failure occurred suddenly and without warning, triggering multiple warning lights on the dashboard. While the vehicle remains operable, all Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are currently disabled. It is my contention that Honda has engineered a defective camera system that requires a substantial out-of-pocket expense for vehicle owners to repair. I believe this cost should be borne by Honda, not the consumer. Accordingly, I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this issue and require Honda to implement a recall that permanently addresses the problem.

The Infotainment Display has been malfunctioning. The display goes black and the back-up camera is not available. On the night of December 12, 2025, we were driving the car on the highway and the screen flickered in and out and then went black and so did the dashboard display. This was very scary as the entire car went dark and we were driving blindly on the highway. It appears that all 2018 Honda Odysseys have a recall for the Infotainment electrical system except for the Elite model that we purchased. I called the dealer last week and was told no recall available and we will need to pay the $179 diagnostic fee plus the cost to repair which will be significant. We will take the car in this week as the car cannot be driven safely without full dashboard and backup camera display.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 60-62 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the front of the vehicle, and the vehicle lost drive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to Tire Choice Auto Service Centers, where it was diagnosed and determined that one of the engine banks had failed. The mechanic determined that the engine needed to be replaced with a used or brand-new engine. 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. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that he would receive a call back later. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a case would be filed, and the contact would receive a call back later. The failure mileage was approximately 132,000.

My 2018 Odyssey has a problem of High Pressure Fuel Pump malfunction. It is come to know that and it can cause stalling the vehicle while running and can cause accident. The same fuel system is shared by 2018 Honda Pilot which had a recall. But Manufacturer did not issue a recall notice for Odyssey's yet.

My vehicle repeatedly and unexpectedly shifts into neutral while in Drive, causing a sudden loss of power in traffic. This has happened multiple times without any input from me and has nearly caused a crash.

A problem with the frame of the van in the rear/above the liftgate not being properly welded created leaking/malfunction of the liftgate and water remediation needed under the headliner. A significant safety issue was created-causing unprovoked opening and closing of the liftgate during operation of the vehicle both while parked and moving. Multiple times were individuals harmed during this process, as well as health issues from riding in the van during long period in an environment with mildew and mold development.

At highway speed on cruise control the engine went out. Van only has 118,000 miles on it.

Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Warning systems stopped working simultaneously without warning. Upon further investigation, failure of the forward-facing camera is the likely root cause. Based on conversations in internet discussion forums [XXX] , [XXX] ), this is a common failure. There was a recall for the Odyssey to fix a wiring harness issue that could affect the back-up camera. I believe loss of the Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Warning systems is much more serious, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Since evidence suggests failure of the forward-facing camera happens frequently, I believe this issue should be treated with the same gravity as the back-up camera and a recall should be issued.

While on a road trip our vehicle began to run louder, same shifting, same gas mileage but louder especially under acceleration. There was no warning and luckily we made it home only to find out it was the High Pressure Fuel Pump in the engine bay that was failing. We had the previous Fuel Pump Recall completed but now at ~82,000 miles the HPFP goes out, these usually last much longer. Took to an independent shop who diagnosed and fixed problem resolved but said we could have easily been stranded or worse the hose with fuel that was violently pulsating in the engine bay could have come unattached and fuel could leak on the hot engine.

Was have recall my car fuel pump , I put the car in honda dealership 9am Them I back 3 pm watched my dash cam car park in parking lot no one worked on it them just did paper work When I told the manager the story he told me we did it 4 day ago on 11/07/2025 when you have diagnostic If you did it before why you give me another an appointment and broken my day Then I back home take the seat out See the fuel pump it’s do dirty look no one work on it then the part number in the paper not the one in the pump

It seems the front dash camera failed to operate which caused all safety systems that rely on it to fail

Summary: Engine seized due to internal bearing failure with metal shavings found in oil filter. Full Description: My 2018 Honda Odyssey experienced a sudden engine failure around 116,500 miles. The dealer confirmed the engine is seized and showed significant metal shavings in the oil filter and pan. I have performed all maintenance according to Honda’s recommended schedule using the correct oil and filters. Honda corporate denied assistance based solely on mileage, even though this issue matches symptoms described in current NHTSA investigation PE25-001 (connecting rod bearing failure in Honda 3.5L V6 engines). There were no prior warnings other than a brief check-engine light and rough running before the engine locked up. The vehicle was in motion at the time and could have caused a hazardous stall, serious injury, or death. Given that Honda has issued recalls for similar rod bearing defects in other model years (2015–2020) and this failure mode presents a clear safety risk (loss of power, engine seizure), I request NHTSA include my case in its investigation and compel Honda to extend recall coverage to 2018 Odyssey owners. I can provide dealer diagnostic reports, photos of the oil filter debris, and all maintenance records if needed.

The infotainment center has completely failed. It began with sporadic shutting off and then restarting of the infotainment system as if a wire or connector were loose, along with popping sounds until the unit no longer turns on and appears to have completely failed. This effects ability of back up camera to function because the screen no longer works. There appears to be a recall of other Honda vehicles needing new wire connectors for a similar problem but it does not seem to include this vehicle.

Error code U3000-49 Multipurpose Camera Unit Internal Electronic Failure. Adaptive Cruise Control does not work due to the camera failure.

Suddenly one day in the morning taking my car from my garage, all alarms in my board turned on and stopped working: Automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, forward and collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance and rear cross traffic warning. I bring my car to the McLarty Honda service in Little Rock, AR. After calibration showed that I need a new multipurpose camera code U 3000-49. This is major concern for me. My van is in perfect shape, only 7 years old not so many miles. Doing some research sounds like this is an issue with Honda vehicles. My neighborhood is full of kids ( I have 3 kids too)with these large vehicles you can find a lot of blinds spots and these features help to keep everybody safe. I believe this a safety issue that need to be recalled in Honda's cars.

Camera that controls ACC LKAS, Lane Departure, collision mitigation system, auto high bean, and braking system alerts kick out intermittently and fail to function while driving.

I have 6 error lights on my dash board. Road departure mitigation system problem, auto high-beam problem, collision mitigation system problem, lane keeping assist problem, Ada pat I’ve cruise control problem. My car was rear ended from an insured from Utica National insurance group. After my car was rear ended these error message came up. They fixed the car but refused to fix to have the lights removed because they said that these error lights do not come on after a rear end accident.

One light on dashboard lit up, started as "Blind Spot info system problem", light would go on and off for couple of years. Now every light on dashboard lights up, including lane assist, blind spot infor system problem, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control problem, rear cross traffic warning, lane departure warning.

All the systems are not working This is a very low mileage vehicle and has not been involved in any accidents. They are many owners reporting the same issue. This is a safety issue as it shuts off many of the safety features of this vehicle while driving. Honda claims it’s normal.

The media touch screen display periodically goes blank and reboots during driving, which affects the backup camera, defrost control, and every other component controlled on the touchscreen display.

Windshield monocular camera overheated. No longer working.

Several of my warning lights came on related to safety features such as brake assist, lane assist, collision mitigation. brake warning. The source has been identified as a failure with the multipurpose camera unit.

The windshield monocular camera is completely non functional causing several dashboard errors to appear. It very disheartening as this is such a known issue within the Honda Odyssey community and very expensive to replace and get calibrated after replacement. This should be recalled since so many are having this issue. Clearly this is a fault of Honda. It seems that the camera can get too hot being in the windshield and just doesn't work. A big reason why I wanted this vehicle was because of these sensors. Now I can't use them.

Hello, My front collision camera is not working and I am getting all sorts of safety related error codes. I took it to Honda for an evaluation and they told me I would need to $1300 to fix part number 36160-THR-A74. As of now all the safety features have been disabled. These are the codes I am getting: Adaptive Cruise Control Automatic Emergency Braking Blind Spot Warning Forward Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assistance

Recently had the fuel pump recall completed. Within days had intermittent dash emissions light come on then go away. Then a few weeks later, while driving, my odyssey put itself into N and I coasted to a stop. It would not allow me to put the car into P or anything. I had to put the emergency brake on in order to not roll forward. The van at that point would not shift into any gear. It was towed to dealership and I was given the following 2K dollar repair needs. PROBLEM. ADVISE. [Other]: TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) AND TRANSMISSION SUB-HARNESS Needs replaced.

The windshield monocular camera failed, disabling all safety precautions.

The monocular camera behind the front windshield has failed resulting in all safety functions related to it (adaptive cruise, lane assist, blind spot, etc.) failing to work.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the message "Engine Management System Failure" was displayed on the instrument panel. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal, with an abnormal clicking sound coming from the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that there was a failure with the engine and the transmission. The dealer was then notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the VIN related to the engine or the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

FAILED MONOCULAR CAMERA : It is a very common issue across majority of HONDA ODYSSEY. It's the overheating of the camera and start to malfunction, causing all the warning systems lights to illuminate. A lots of people and families who have owned or currently owns HONDA ODYSSEYS minivans have either faced this problem in the past or having it more commonly now. Due to the malfunction caused by the FAILED MONOCULAR CAMERA, it tends to automatically disables the Lane assist function, Engine light comes on, Cruise control get disabled and two other warning comes on the dash. Please note that there are a lots of families who own these HONDA ODYSSEY have been facing this manufacturing fault that HONDA needs to address.

I was unable to utilize my cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure or any of the features that is related to the Honda sensing program. I was told by the Honda dealership that it was the camera refocusing and continue to refocus which leads for it to overheat.

The camera started malfunctioning and now I have a bunch of warning lights on the dash. I think is crazy that a lot of people have the same issue and still there is no recalls for it. Is a MAJOR safety issue.

t approximately 105 000 miles, while driving my 2018 Honda Odyssey, multiple advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) malfunctioned simultaneously. The following warning lights and messages appeared on the dashboard: LKAS (Lane Keeping Assist System) ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) Auto High-Beam Headlights Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation This occurred without any prior symptoms, and the systems have remained nonfunctional since the initial incident. I did not observe any physical damage, sensor obstruction, or weather-related cause at the time. The car was in regular use and had not recently undergone service or modification. Safety Concern: These systems are critical to safe vehicle operation — especially at highway speeds — and are part of the vehicle’s integrated safety design. Their sudden failure without clear cause presents a serious safety concern for the driver, passengers, and others on the road. Troubleshooting / Diagnosis So Far: Battery is original and may be aging, but the issue persisted after a jumpstart. No recent accidents or damage. Online research shows that many other 2018–2020 Odyssey owners have reported similar simultaneous system failures, which may indicate a pattern or a design flaw. Request for Action: I respectfully request the following: That Honda investigate this incident and advise if it is part of a known issue or Technical Service Bulletin (TSB). If applicable, provide warranty or goodwill coverage for diagnosis and repair. Consider this complaint as part of broader data regarding a potential system-wide electrical/software defect.

Short Summary (for “Briefly Describe the Problem”) Sudden catastrophic engine failure — engine threw a rod at ~85,000 miles despite proper maintenance and fluid levels. Detailed Description (for “Provide Details of the Incident”) While driving, the vehicle began making a loud noise similar to a helicopter taking off. I immediately took it to a certified mechanic, who diagnosed that the engine had “thrown a rod,” requiring a full engine replacement. The vehicle has approximately 90,000 miles, has been regularly serviced per manufacturer recommendations, and all fluids were at proper levels at the time of failure. There were no warning lights or prior signs of mechanical issues. My mechanic and I contacted Honda to determine if NHTSA Recall 23V-751 applied to my vehicle; Honda confirmed it did not. Despite this, the symptoms appear consistent with known defects covered by that recall. Honda has declined to provide assistance or repair. The sudden and complete engine failure under normal driving conditions, despite proper maintenance, suggests a potential manufacturing or design defect that poses a serious safety risk.

Monocular camera failed, all warning shown in the dashboard.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the driver's side sliding door failed to close or latch as designed. The contact stated the vehicle was driven for an hour and a half with the driver's side sliding door open. The contact stated that it was unsafe because the contact's small children were seated in the rear of the vehicle during the failure. The contact changed the fuses; however, the fuses were operable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V795000 (Latches/ Locks/Linkages); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

The monocular camera installed in the front windshield over time going bad. It happen because in California always sun overheating the car when car is parked and it overheat camers components and it failed. Together the vehicle turned off pre collission avoidance system, automatic brake system, lane keeping system and etc. I have same issues on my 2021 Honda Insight it goes bad even the vehicle is 3 years fresh

Mass safety system failure due to front projector camera/ wiring harness. noted systems below failed: Adaptive cruise control Auto emergency braking Forward collision warning Lane departure warning Lane keeping assistance Auto High beams All above system are not operational

Tuesday, September 30 at 8:07 PM I was merging onto the interstate after work and my car would not accelerate properly to allow me to merge with the traffic. This happens way more than it should. Since I got this vehicle it has been doing this and scaring my entire family every time. It happens in car line. It happens when i am already driving with traffic on the interstate and when i try to pass a slow car my car will sometimes not accelerate due to the problematic recall issue that these 2018 9 speed hondas are known for. It puts me in a very scary situation and I dont know what else to do about it.

Today I was driving on my road and there are small hills. I was going around a curve i take every single morning and my car kicks really hard as if it is having trouble changing gears. sometimes it makes loud noise. This has been happening for years now and Honda is not addressing it. There is an issue with the 9 speed transmission in these vehicles that have been dealing with recalls. This makes driving scary and my kids are now scared to drive to school in my vehicle. It needs to be addressed as my family is now noticing how much honda has put us in danger knowing these recalls were not really taken seriously.

Today I was driving thru a green light and my car started breaking and jerking in the MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I was not following closely behind another car. Sometimes if i am going around a curve and a car is approaching me on the curve my car will suddenly BREAK and jerk. My kids are very scared to ride with me due to the inconsistences with my acceleration and jerking out of nowhere.

We purchased our 2018 Honda Odyssey in January of 2024. Since we purchased the car, it regularly hesitates from the stopped position. This regularly yet intermittently causes a safety hazard when turning right into traffic or making a left turn because the acceleration does not work and feels as if it is failing for 2-4 seconds. There is a recall with other models that are the same year and close to with similar issues however ours is not included. I have now reported it to the dealership multiple times and am told they cannot replicate it so they can't help me. I was also told that there is a lag with this engine which causes teh delay but they have no concern. This causes performance issues, and puts me in a precaious situation oten when making a left turn or trying to cross multiple lanes of traffic. This issue really needs to be fixed and covered.

Like many other people on the [XXX] forums, our Honda Odyssey has a water leak that dripped onto the Tailgate Control Module, causing it to corrode and stop working. Now, our tailgate door will not open or close electrically, nor even manually using the handle outside. We have to crawl through the vehicle into the trunk, open a trim piece with a screwdriver, and stick our finger into the mechanical parts to disengage the latch to allow the door to open. Safety issues: 1) It's hard to know whether the door is fully closed and latched, so it could pop open while driving. 2) In the event of a car crash or other emergency, we may need to rely on that tailgate door being operational, so it being jammed by a widespread and known problem seems like a predictable life threatening issue.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while parked on the shoulder of a busy interstate, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was later towed to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the rod bearings had failed, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 100,000.

D passenger side, rear electric door get stuck a lot of times and open by itself. When you close it , it goes all the way till get close to the end then open as it there is something it try not to close on . This being going for the last 2 to 3 years.

The Monocular front window camera is malfunctioning. 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 Braking 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.

High pressure fuel pump Car had loss of power while on freeway Car seemed sluggish prior to going out. The low pressure fuel pump was replaced as part of recall 1/2025

I was involved in an accident with with my family. Pregnant wife and daughter. I got into a front end collision and I was at fault. The forward collision warning didn’t activate, Neither did the automatic emergency braking. This system has never failed on me and car has always stopped every time..

Multiple warnings occurred simultaneously when I started my car I been doing a research on the web I found out that many buyers have the same problem with their van's and already reported here is the list that found 2018 2019 2020 Honda Odyssey Touring and EX-L , I found out that the camera/sensor in the windshield (near the rearview mirror). It needed to be replaced. their camera has an internal failure!!! This needs to be recalled

On September 1, 2025 the front windshield camera on my 2018 Honda Odyssey failed, part #36160-THR-A03-M1, resulting in the loss of many of my vehicle’s safety features including: adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and lane keep assistance. The camera is available for inspection. Now when I start the vehicle it displays warnings that none of the above safety features are functional. I contacted 2 local Honda dealers, Bellingham Honda and Burlington Honda in Washington State. Both dealers said they could not fix my car since the camera is not available, since it is not in stock and on national back order, with no date of when a new camera would be be available. I have also contacted 2 online Honda parts distributors and they also say the camera is in national back order and not available, with no date of when it would be available. The result is that my vehicle has most of it’s safety systems inoperable and it can not be repaired, since a new camera is not available, and Honda cannot provide me a date when the part is available and my vehicle can be fixed. I see on the internet the front camera failure is a common occurrence in 2018 Honda Odyssey’s and request NHTSA investigate make Honda recall these vehicles to fix the safety problem.

Multipurpose camera behind the front windshield was inspected by Honda dealership. They were able to verify it had a fault and needed to be replaced at a cost of around $1700. This camera controls many of the safety features this van advertises such as the the Lane Keep Assist and Collision Mitigation. While researching online, I was able to find multiple owners of the 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey that have had this same issue. Ebay has recently sold 3 of these cameras that have been salvaged from donors. This is an ongoing issue that Honda has not rectified. I believe this should absolutely be recalled.

I have a 2018 Honda Odyssey, with 66,855 miles. I maintain my vehicle with regularity at my Honda dealership. On [XXX], I was driving home from Las Vegas, NV to Pasadena, CA, when near the state line at Primm, NV, I started hear sounds from my engine and it started losing power. I had to pull over and then had my van towed to a dealership in Las Vegas, NV. The van is available for inspection. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer where i paid for a diagnosis to be performed. The engine light did turn on prior to me noticing the engine problem and a low oil light came on later.

On [XXX], while driving in traffic, my 2018 Honda Odyssey suddenly and without warning shifted itself into Park. The vehicle slammed to a stop in the middle of an intersection, stranding my family and creating a serious risk of collision and injury. The vehicle would not move afterward and had to be towed from the scene. After the failure, the dashboard displayed multiple warnings: “Transmission Problem,” “Stop Driving When Safe,” “Emission System Problem,” and *“Blind Spot Information System Problem.” The gear shift indicator also blinked. The Odyssey has remained undrivable since the incident. The vehicle is at Stockton 12 Honda in Sandy, Utah, where the dealer confirmed a hard transmission failure (RO #[XXX]). Honda Corporate opened two cases (#[XXX] and #[XXX]). Despite my repeated calls and emails, Honda’s assigned case manager verbally denied coverage on Sept 12, 2025, stating the denial would only be reflected in Honda’s internal case notes. This failure is identical to the defect described in NHTSA Recall 19V-299, in which the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) can reboot due to low voltage and cause the transmission to shift into Park while driving. Although my VIN is not currently flagged, my Odyssey EX-L uses the same ZF 9-speed transmission and TCU as affected trims. I have a tow record, witnesses, and video evidence documenting the event. The vehicle remains disabled, leaving my family without safe transportation. This is a serious safety defect that should require investigation and expansion of the existing recall.

The vehicle would not accelerate while merging onto Interstate and it made a grinding sound. It hesitated for about 5 seconds and was able to finally pick up speed and merge. It is very scary when my vehicle does this.

My 2018 Honda Odyssey (VIN: [XXX]) experienced a catastrophic engine failure due to a spun connecting rod bearing in Cylinder 4. While driving, the engine suddenly began making a loud knocking/tapping noise. I immediately drove the vehicle to the Honda dealer, and as I was pulling into the service bay, the engine completely seized. The dealer confirmed that the engine suffered a spun bearing in Cylinder 4, with severe crankshaft and connecting rod damage. The failed parts and metal debris in the oil system are available for inspection if requested. This failure occurred without any prior warning lights, messages, or check engine indicators. There was no advance notice other than the sudden onset of knocking just before failure. The defect caused loss of engine power and risk of stalling in traffic, which could have easily resulted in a crash or fire. This type of failure is consistent with Honda Recall 23V-751, which covers connecting rod bearing defects caused by crankshaft machining errors, and also matches the ongoing NHTSA investigation into premature rod bearing failures in Honda Odyssey and other models. However, my VIN is currently excluded from the recall. I request that NHTSA review this case as potential evidence that the recall should be expanded to include additional Odyssey vehicles.

My Van has only 110,000 miles on it. Yesterday I was driving my family home from a sports event my wife myself and my four kids. I got a flashing check engine light and was able to pull over, but it was an unsafe area on the side of the interstate. After sitting there for a while. we were able to get the vehicle to Honda. Honda is telling me that it is bad rod bearings. But that my vehicle falls outside of the recall that is already issued for bad rod bearings in a van that is the same year as mine. This rod bearing issue put myself and my kids in an unsafe position.

The Auto Engine Idle Stop causes the car to die while at stop lights, stop signs, in the middle of intersections. Etc. when disengaging the AIS the engine stutters and then displays “Shift to Park” then it says to push the brake to start the car but it doesn’t always start up. Sometimes it requires opening the door. Sometimes the collision mitigation system turns off after as well. And the entertainment display turns off or says “No Audio”

The Foward Looking Camera is failing and causing all the ADAS not to work and has all the lights on the dash. The code comes back as U3000-49 which is a multi purpose camera failure.

2018 Honda Odyssey gear shifting switch letters are rubbing off. This caused the drive to click wrong button as they do not have letters to identify the functionality of the each button.

I have maintained 2018 Honda Odyssey regularly, getting it serviced when or before it was due. A month ago (at 90K) miles, we started to hear a noise in the engine. I took it to Honda and they said that I need an entirely new (rebuilt) engine. I did see there was a safety recall report 23V-751 regarding crank pins that were produced out of specification. This did cover some 2018 Honda engines, but my VIN was not one of them. Is there any possibility that this deffect could have effected other Honda engines of the same year? My engine should not be failing at 7 years and 90k miles. Currently the vehicle is not being driven until we figure out the best course of action.

The throttle can loose power at stop and then suddenly engine picks up the throttle which not normal and this is not maintenance issue as service station and Honda does not confirm the behavior a defect or a problem. This is very concerning.

UNKNOWN, though others who have reported this problem are saying the front camera and it's calibration are at fault. Currently, 5 systems (3 reported + 2 more) are under warning on my vehicle due to this unknown issue and the dealership wants a ridiculous amount of money to fix even though it appears to be very common and frequent as these vehicles get more and more miles on them.

I bought my van used in March of 2025. within 6 weeks I noticed when accelerating my van hesitated about 3 seconds before going when I went to take-off. This has caused great concern . Last week it caused me a accident because of the delay in acceleration. Luckily I was not hurt but did cause a accident. I feel they're should be a recall to fix this after reading many complaints about the same issue.

The engine stalled while driving the 2018 Honda Odyssey van on the freeway. It happened while cruising on the freeway. Engine suddenly locked out/stalled after a loud 'thug' sound. The situation posed a high safety risk to the occupants. Luckily no vehicular accident occurred. The dealer checked it out and confirmed it is an engine problem. Their recommendation is to change the engine and charged the cost to the owner. Dealer said the problem is not covered by recall. Dealer will not specify the engine problem unless the engine is opened for inspection. There were no warning lamps and messages of the problem prior to the failure.

Fuel pump failed. Other Honda Odyssey's of same year had a fuel pump recall. This particular VIN was not included but failed in a similar manner. We were required to pay out of pocket to repair. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:23V-858

The sliding doors will not open at intermittent times. Warnings will flash off and on about door error but not consistently. If there is an incident or an emergency, the door will not open. If there were an accident and the driver cannot turn off the power door switch then anyone in the back cannot get the door to open, they would be trapped. We have had one motor replaced already. We opted to do that because we had a newborn on that side and we needed to be able to get to her quickly if she needed us and we were unable to rely on that door. The other door is doing it as well.

The automatic braking system beeped alert then applied brakes when I was going around a sharp curve, with cars behind me. Luckily they were far enough behind that they didn't hit me. This has been happening since I first got my Odyssey. I asked the Honda dealer about it if it was a defect and they said no that's how it work. I asked if I could turn it off permanently and they said no - I had to turn if off each time I turned on the car. Which I do most times but I forgot yesterday. I started turning it off regularly when it slammed on the brakes going around a curve some time ago bringing me to almost complete stop with car behind me. I probably should have reported earlier. I was in the car with a friend yesterday when it happened and she has a different model Honda and says it happens to her as well. I also am in a Odyssey Facebook forum and someone with a 23 Odyssey is experiencing it - I thought perhaps it was my year and they'd work out the kinks but it does not appear so. I was willing to give Honda a little grace on these early safety systems, but this looks to be an ongoing problem which is unacceptable. I'm going to look into a dashcam to record these incicdents. I asked the dealer because surely they would be able to see a log of when they automatic braking engaged? If not, they should.

As you are driving the car, out of nowhere, you will hear a very loud chainsaw noise coming from the engine compartment that will last a few seconds, immediately after the noise the car seems to roll as if the engine is not in gear or there is no gas going into the engine even though you are pressing on the gas pedal. This has happened around 5 times over the last month. It doesn't happen every time we drive the minivan. This can be very dangerous as you can imagine that when you are pressing on the gas pedal as you are driving at 30, 40, 60 mph, and the car engine just seems to disengage for a few seconds. I took the minivan to the Honda dealership. They first said to change the transmission oil first to see if that fix the problem. They said if by changing the transmission oil didn't fix the problem then they would need to replace the transmission. Within the first week after getting the fluid changed the problem came back. The minivan is now back at the dealership, and I expect that the transmission is going to be replaced. The minivan doesn't have even 50,000 miles yet. No warning lights has shown up. The problem seems to come and go without any warning.

Premature failure of rear shock absorbers due to rust, leaking. Unpainted upper portion of shocks rusts out.

Engine has been running very rough the last 20k miles, and East Coast Honda in Surfside Beach, SC noted engine bearing wear prior to the rough engine performance during a service visit in May 2023. In June-July 2025 driving on [XXX] driving between Washington D.C. and Surfside Beach, SC, we went to pass and the engine cut RPM's drastically and went into 'limp mode' nearly causing an accident with the sudden decrease in speed. We have asked American Honda Customer Service [800-999-1009] to provide an engine evaluation but they have declined and have stated our VIN is not included in the rod bearing recall/TSB. We did mentioned about the further investigation for 2018 Honda Odyssey's but was advised any action we take would not be compensated since the vehicle is out of warranty by date and mileage (73,000 miles).

I In August 2025, I experienced a sudden and complete failure of the forward-facing windshield camera in my 2018 Honda Odyssey, which disabled multiple safety-critical systems. After having new tires installed at Discount Tire in preparation for a road trip, I started my vehicle and was immediately confronted with multiple dashboard warnings, including: •“Road Mitigation System Problem” •“Auto High-Beam Problem” •“Adaptive Cruise Control Problem” •“Lane Keeping Assist Problem” •“Brake System” I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership. They diagnosed DTC U3000:49 — Internal failure with multipurpose camera unit and informed me the only repair option is to replace the camera and perform camera aiming. The quoted repair cost is approximately $2,000. The dealer explained that this failure is “common in hot climates.” If true, this represents a serious design flaw. The Odyssey was marketed as a family vehicle equipped with advanced safety systems, yet a single component failure suddenly disables nearly every major driver-assist safety feature. This is a serious safety defect for several reasons: 1.Safety systems suddenly fail without warning. One moment the systems are working, and the next they are completely disabled. A driver relying on lane keeping, collision mitigation, or adaptive cruise control would be placed at immediate risk. 2.Known widespread issue. The dealer admitted this happens in hot climates, suggesting Honda is aware of the problem but has not addressed it. 3.Unreasonable repair cost. A vital safety component should not have a built-in failure mode tied to environmental conditions, forcing owners to pay thousands out of pocket for safety-critical repairs. 4.Loss of federally encouraged safety features. Forward collision mitigation and lane departure warning systems are strongly promoted by NHTSA itself. Their failure removes protections drivers expect when purchasing the vehicle. This issue appears to be a common defect in Honda Odyssey vehicle

Several people have told me that they hear a banging or thudding heavy sound coming my 2018 odyssey engine. The sound frequency increases as the engine rpm’s increase. I have seen many reports that state that this symptom could lead to a total engine failure which makes the car unsafe and is caused by incorrectly machined crank shafts (oversized). I called Honda and was told there is no recall at the time ( 8/23/25). In my opinion there should be a recalled. There was not warnings presented. Another failure occurred when mice ate the fuel injector wiring. This caused the engine to malfunction . The cause of this failure I have been told was caused by Honda using wire with a soy based insulation which mice eat.

While driving vehicle, check engine light began to flash. Vehicle was moved safely to side of road and turn off. Vehicle was allowed to sit for more then five minutes and started again. no check engine light or other indicators were illuminated. Vehicle was driven another 60 miles when suddenly multiple warnings appeared with a solid check engine light. Vehicle was moved to a safe location and parked. Vehicle was transported to a Honda dealership the following day and was discovered to have metal in the engine oil due to connecting rod bearing failures with grooves worn in the crankshaft.

Vehicle has a vibrating shake when you go about 26 to 40 miles per hour like it does not know on what gear to be me I took the car multiple times to the dealership, and after charging me hundreds of dollars they had the face to say it is what it is. That the design of the car. I even called the corporate and no one really cared. I am always scarred that engine or transmission will fail and cause an accident. On the last trip, as I was stuck in traffic, stop and go was hard on this condition as car wants to think on what gear to be.

In our 2018 Honda Odyssey EX-L, a few weeks ago 5 different warning lights started coming on when the vehicle was started and continued while the car was driven. Lane Assist, collision warning, auto high beams, braking system and adaptive cruise control. Just yesterday the rear hatch started to malfunction; currently the rear hatch can be opened and closed manually but the power lift does not function and now is the 6th warning on the driving display. The car was taken to a Honda Dealership for diagnosis, and after paying $99 for the diagnosis of the issues, several other diagnosis fees would be required to get to the root of the issue which the Tech states is most likely a control module malfunction due to a water leak. The fix would then be finding and fixing the leak, then replacing the module and wrapping the module in plastic to prevent future issues. Then more diagnosis fees to find and correct the other issues which could include replacing the multipurpose camera. -If a selling point of the driver assist, collision warning and automatic braking are safety improvements, by default if the system is faulty then ours and others safety is at an increased risk. -the vehicle has been inspected by a dealer -before a few weeks ago no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms were present. All of the symptoms have been rather sudden. We have been getting rain almost daily for the past few weeks.

There is a recall on this engine, same year, same make and model, but not my VIN number, same problem as the recall. Honda NHTSA campaign 23V751000 On [XXX] my husband and I were driving from our home in Scottsdale, AZ to Las Vegas, NV. About one hour from Las Vegas a yellow light came on the dash. I immediately pulled off the highway and looked up what the light meant. The manual said to continue to nearest service location and add oil. I restarted the car and there was a very loud clanking sound and a warning of Emissions System Failure came on. I turned the engine off, called AAA and had the vehicle towed to AAA Las Vegas. In the late afternoon of [XXX] they advised us that the car needed a new engine. Also troubling is that Right Honda did not fully evaluate the engine, but charged $180. They relied on the AAA report and wanted to sell me a used engine, one year warranty, but could not tell me about the engine, other than mileage because it "was on a pallet." 1. Report from AAA 2.

the adaptive cruise control, collision warning, lane keep assist and other safety features have stopped working as indicated by errors displayed on dashboard. Suspect front camera is malfunctioning but has not been confirmed by independent service center. At first, this seemed to be an intermittent issue, but now the error messages appear every time the car is used.

Brake system light, and other warning lights including Adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation, road departure warning, and auto high beams: A common issue from internet which likely be caused by the camera/sensor issue (near the rearview mirror)

The transmission is very jerky and has completely lost power before. It has refused to shift and stalled in the middle of the road. It is very scary.

The windshield-mounted front camera assembly (part number 36160‑THR‑A81) that powers LKAS, ACC, Collision Mitigation, Auto High Beam, and other safety systems has failed on my 2018 Honda Odyssey. When the camera fails, multiple critical safety systems become disabled at once, posing a significant risk to driver and road safety." Supporting Evidence from Other Owners: Honda Odyssey owner posted in a parts-related forum: > “The Honda garage wants $1.5K to replace the front camera, but I’m wondering why it catastrophically failed after 3.5 years and 30,000 miles!” A documented complaint filed with NHTSA highlights a very similar situation: > “All Honda sensing technology is not working… ACC, LKAS, Collision Mitigation, Auto High Beam… many warning lights appear on the dash… diagnostics… indicated the issue may be related to a manufacturer defect… dealership… said the monocular camera was defective… The contact… replaced the defective monocular camera, … once the repair occurred, all of the messages and lights… cleared and all of the safety systems… are now working correctly.” Costs: Owners have reported paying approximately $750 for the camera part and another $500 for calibration, totaling around $1,250. We have even been quoted $2,500 to replace the front camera. Safety Risk: The failure disables multiple driver-assistive safety systems simultaneously, increasing risk of collision — especially since these systems (ACC, LKAS, Collision Mitigation) are intended to help prevent accidents. Conclusion / Call for Action: Given the frequency of similar reports, recurring nature of the front camera failure (36160‑THR‑A81) in 2018–2019 Odyssey models, the high cost of repair, and the safety-critical systems that fail when this component fails, I believe this qualifies as a design or manufacturing defect. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this issue and consider issuing a recall for affected vehicles.

1. Vehicle Information Year / Make / Model: 2018 Honda Odyssey Touring Mileage at Time of Incident: Approximately 123,952 miles Purchased New or Used: Used 2. Incident Summary On June 13, 2025 upon starting the vehicle for the first time that day (vehicle is garage kept, year round, at home when not in use), problem codes for the Auto High Beam, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) showed on the display and all features failed to function. 3. Detailed Description of Failure & Safety Risk (Chronological) Component/System Affected: I have not taken the vehicle to the local Honda dealership as yet as I plan to schedule an appointment during the week of 17 August. After researching this issues it is found that many other consumers have experienced the same issue and confirmed that it was the ADAS front-facing camera and radar sensor failure. Due to the failure this causes the following safety systems to cease functionality: Auto High Beam, ACC, LKAS, CMBS, and RDM. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: All affected systems are critical for maintaining lane position, speed, collision avoidance, and visibility. Not having these critical safety features creates a heightened risk of collision or unsafe maneuver. Inspection: Only an authorized Honda dealer will inspect/diagnose the issue. There has been no inspection from the vehicle manufacturer, law enforcement, insurance, or independent service.

My car have never in an any accident but my distance radar sensor not working. And it’s very risky to drive under this condition and it’s very big safety for me and my life so help me to fix this issue.

A safety-related part, the rear coil spring (PN 52441-THR-A01 / 52441-THR-A11), is not available through Honda’s parts network. Without this part, my vehicle’s safe operation is compromised.

5 Major safety systems are automatically disabled and on further troubleshooting by the dealer, all these issues are pointing to a faulty Front Collision Avoidance Camera. The cost to replace and recalibrate the camera is upwards of $2400. This is absolutely ridiculous and seems like a safety recall issue.

2018 to 2024 Honda oddessy rear shocks top rusts prematurely through the metal and leaks out the oil making the shock useless. my 2018 Honda Odyssey with 70k miles rear shocks suddenly broke and top is rusted through the metal and is leaking fluid. Honda factory part number 52610-THR-A02 is forbthe rear shocls common problem with 2018 -2024 Honda odessy with 50k to 80k miles so iust after the dealer factory warrenty runs out. metal housing on a shock is not supposed to rust through with 7 years of use.

All of the warning lights associated with advanced safety features came on on the way back from a visit to local store. When checking the codes there is a The U3000-49 code indicating an issue with the mono camera or radar unit. These warnings do not allow for the use of any of the safety features affected. The code cannot be cleared from the system either.

While driving on the highway at speed, without warning or any dash check lights we heard a loud pop from the front of the car followed by white smoke. The engine seized, lost all power, and the along with it the brake system shutdown so the car became uncontrollable on a busy highway. The car was towed to a local honda dealership and is currently being looked at. The vehicle was recently inspected at a honda service center where there was no indication of any engine issues. There were no check engine lights untill the engine seized.

The multipurpose camera failed bring down all driver assistance functionality including lane keep assist, emergency brake, auto high beam, parking sensors, cruise control, etc. fix is outrageously high $2500+. Internet search finds this to be a very common issue and deserves a recall.

Water intrusion, verified by observation/application of water. The leak resulted in water dripping on the Tailgate/Liftgate Control Module and the general rear cargo area, causing corrosion inside the control module rendering the control module inoperable, which made the power liftgate inoperable as well. Additionally, the rear cargo area had standing water that had accumulated over an unknown period of time that was visible when you lifted the carpeting. The liftgate latch mechanism also "locked" while the liftgate was open, making securing it closed in the normal way impossible. I would have needed to secure it with bungee cords or tape or some other haphazard way if I wanted to drive it safely on the streets or any contents in the back of the van could have fell out in traffic, or the liftgate may have inadvertently lifted at any time or place uncommanded, causing any type of hazard. Replacing the Control Module ($331.53) remedied the liftgate failure. However, the leak remains, and will allow the same thing to continue to happen. Applying water to the area where the seam on the drivers side body panel and the roof panel meet resulted in water being seen dripping in the interior of the vehicle and onto the liftgate control module. This area should have been made waterproof before the vehicle left the factory, and should be recalled to make it right.

The vehicle body weather seal did not function water was leaked into the rear trunk of the vehicle, resulting in water damaged carpet/ foam and malfunctioning/ broken power liftgate control module for the rear hatch. The control module was found to be corroded resulting in a nonfunctional rear hatch.

The driver side coil spring broke on the lower end of the spring. It started to sound squeeky after a change in the road or a bump. 2 years ago, the right (passengers) coil spring broke in the middle of the spring on a main highway going 60miles/hr in another state from where we live. The car needed towed then and replaced. I filed a report with you then. No one was hurt either time but could have been. The springs have been on back order....2 years ago we couldn't get a replacement because they were on back order for 2 years then and needed to get a backup from a juck yard to replace. This time we still can not find a replacement in stock and are afraid the springs are not strong enough for the honda cars which is why they have been on backup and keep failing. So now they have been on back order for 4 years. My husband's car has springs bigger than what they put on the minivan. And with the part on backorder still...I don't think they are good or that Honda wants to replace them. We had to get springs from somewhere else to replace this spring....causing us to pay for 2 new ones to put on the car. Car is currently in the shop (auto shop) waiting for the parts to arrive from another state to replace. These should definately be recalled! I don not have a heavy family or put heavy stuff in my vehicle but someone is going to get hurt soon. Honda needs to take care of this safety problem and reimburse for all the coil spring problems.

Suddenly the Van gave me 5 different warnings as below. 1. Adaptive Cruise Control problem. 2. Lane Keep Asist Problem 3. Collision Mitigation System Problem 4. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem 5. Auto High-Beam Problem On top of these, 'Brake System' light also turned on.

Rod knock diagnosed and confirmed by dealership July 15, 2025. Van is currently at dealership and is available for inspection. I have paused work to allow Honda (case 15705425) and now this team the opportunity to diagnose and inspect first hand. Inspection and first hand visuals have only been completed by certified Honda dealerships. All warnings and my concerns are documented in our ROs with Honda dealerships. When any light or reminder came on, I immediately took the van to Honda for service. Safety: slow starts and sluggish acceleration. Noise that was not normal. Out to eat 30 minutes away from home July 13 and van wouldn’t start. Dealership thought initially battery but then kept van overnight and nod rock confirmed. Also repaired back suspension. Additional details: Problem has been reproduced and confirmed. Have been experiencing slow start, van not driving properly. Our family went out to lunch July 13 and van wouldn’t start. Waited handful of minutes and then started. Immediately took to dealership next day. Honda dealerships have done all servicing and repairs on this van. (I was told there are 55 repair totaling $22k for your research purposes.) Honda notified me July 29, 2025 that they will NOT offer any assistance and/or goodwill because of the age and mileage of the van. Escalating case 15705425 up Honda chain - we have been very loyal to Honda. As of today, July 31, 2025: Van sits at dealership; has been there since July 14, 2025. I have been advised not to drive the van, esp on the highway. I want to keep the van and want to drive it for many more years. Took very good care of it and followed all of Hondas recommendations for servicing. Just put brand new tires front suspension (March 2025) and rear suspension (July 2025) on it as well. Appreciate your investigation. I’m working diligently to do the right thing and allow the proper people time to investigate the van before any work begins on the engine.

We do not own the vehicle anymore, but I just learned of recalls for this issue and wanted to make sure I submitted this as our lives were significantly affected. In July 2023, on the way home from a trip, we began to hear knocking in the engine and shortly after the check engine light began flashing. We got to the closest mechanic, and they suspected an issue with rods due to metal filings in oil. We had it towed 2 hrs to the closet Honda dealership. Garcia Honda in Albuquerque, NM. After days in a hotel and the dealership making the repairs they thought it was, we were told it was ready to go, they just needed to do a test drive. On the test drive, the engine lights come on again, and on closer inspection, they too heard knocking, and diagnosed engine failure due to rod issues and told us we needed a full engine replacement. We were still 9 hours from home and had missed work for a few days, and being dejected and overwhelmed that we still did not have our car to get home, we made the snap decision to purchase a new car there and “trade in” the odyssey for the bare minimum. We mentioned to someone today that we had a Honda with engine failure, and they brought this recall to our attention. After researching, I wanted to make sure to get this complaint failed, to hopefully help others going through what we did.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. The contact stated that the failure has caused the vehicle to hesitate while attempting to accelerate. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions while driving on the interstate and the freeway. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the software needed to be updated and the vehicle needed to be driven approximately five thousand miles to correct the failure. The vehicle was repaired, and the transmission was replaced once before. The manufacturer was notified of the failure; however, the warranty department failed to return the call. The approximate failure mileage was 108,900.

I recently replaced a battery on the 2018 Honda Odyssey. When I turned the car on, the dashboard showed 6 issues: adaptive cruise control problem; lane keeping assist problem; collision mitigation system problem; road departure mitigation system problem; auto high beam problem; and the brake system light was on. I paid a mechanic to clear out the code and the was told that the front sensing camera needs to be replaced. Without a replacement, all these errors will continue to show up. I search online to find out if other people have had this issue because it was just too coincidental that a battery replacement broke the front camera. I found posts by many people who own the 2018 Honda Odyssey having similar or near identical issues that I have had. The cost to replace the camera and have it recalibrate it is going to cost $1,800.00 as estimated by a local Honda dealer. The Honda dealer told me that they have seen this problem over and over again.

High flow fuel pump failure. Discussed at length with Honda repair shop

The front camera failed so there were 5 warnings all together: Collision mitigation system problem, Lane Keeping Assist problem, Adaptive Cruise Control problem, Auto High-beam problem, Road departure mitigation system problem + Brake system warning. They claimed the bad battery, bad wheel alignment but they were not an issue. The front camera was failed, and it costs $2,408 after their discount coupon. Same thing happened to my 2019 Honda Accord hybrid. I googled it and found a lot of Honda vehicles share same problem. All the malfunctioning come from the failed front camera and it could be very dangerous if it happened during driving. This is a serious safety issue and all Honda's fault. They provided the problematic part. I never heard the similar problems happened to other brands such as Toyota, Chevy, Hyundai, and more. All happened to Honda car. They provided the poor quality front camera and they charging fortune to replace it. That front camera costs more than 10% of my current car value. It does not make sense. I strongly claim Honda should recall their front cameras and reimburse all the expense we already paid. Thank you very much.

Front camera failure causes multiple safety issues. Lane keep assist collision mitigation road departure mitigation high beam problem This is a known issue and the dealership knew about this immediately hearing the multiple warning signs. Cost of replacement is over $2000.

I bought a 2018 Honda Odyssey new. When the recall for the fuel pump came out, I had it completed on the emergency basis because it said if you had been experiencing the engine cutting out, to call and get it completed soon. I had had issues with the engine cutting out. Recently, I noticed a loud engine rumbling and rough noise during idling and acceleration. I took it to a Honda dealership, and they diagnosed a failing high-pressure fuel pump that required immediate replacement. There were no warning lights. The most frustrating part is that so many other 2018 Odyssey owners are reporting the exact same issue. It’s all over forums and Reddit — people with Odysseys from around this year are dealing with premature high-pressure fuel pump failures. This is clearly not an isolated case — it's a widespread defect that Honda has yet to acknowledge. While Honda recalled the low-pressure fuel pump, they’ve ignored the high-pressure pump — even though it presents serious drivability and safety concerns. I am being forced to pay $1,775 out-of-pocket at a Honda dealership to replace this failed part. I’m urging NHTSA to investigate this pattern and hold Honda accountable. This is not normal wear and tear — it’s a systemic failure that deserves a recall and reimbursement for affected owners.

As reported previously to Honda the vehicle jerks when accelerating at high speeds.It was recommended to die a transmission flush which was performed and did not resolve the issue.slow acceleration at times is also a safety issue especially on highways.

While driving Oct-Nov 2023 I noticed a rod knocking sound in the engine and made an appointment with Jones Honda, Lancaster PA for inspection in Dec 2023. While driving to my base in Horsham, PA on [XXX] the engine seized and shut down leaving me stranded with my family. We had it towed to Reedman Toll Honda, Downingtown PA and it was determined by the Honda technicians that it was the same issue that affected thousands of other makes/models of the same year. Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Acura TLX, 2016-2020 Acura MDX, 2016 and 2018-2019 Pilot, 2017 and 2019 Ridgeline, and 2018-2019 Odyssey vehicles. Due to a manufacturing error, the connecting rod bearing in the engine may wear and seize, damaging the engine. A damaged engine may run improperly or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a fire, crash, or injury. The technicians verified this is the same issue and we opened a claim with American Honda. American Honda claims that our VIN was not affected and that the technicians do not have the authority to claim it is the same issue and refused to assist. We have service records to indicate the vehicle was maintained, oil and filter changes, other recalls, etc. There is no reason a five year old engine, at the time, should have died without it being a manufacturing issue. This issue put my family at risk and the safety of others. The engine was maintained and verified by Honda certified technicians that it is a manufacturing issue that caused this. We have been talking to American Honda for over a year and half now and they finally closed our claim about a month ago, May 2025, with no resolution.

Check engine light came on while driving and engine making rattling noise. Stopped vehicle and restarted with difficulty starting and loss of engine power. Towed to nearest Honda dealer and diagnosed with cylinder 3 rod bearing damage. Engine replaced under Honda extended warrenty with used engine per warrenty company preference. Called Honda customer service to report the incident. They confirmed my VIN was not included on the recall for vehicles of the same year with similar issues. They confirmed over the phone that they would file a NHTSA report on my behalf, but I have not seen the report on this website.

The Auto Idle Stop system causes the engine to stall or fail to restart after being stopped. The error that comes on sometimes says "Collision Mitigation System Problem" on the dashboard, or sometimes "Transmission Problem. Apply Parking Brake When Parked", but either way it happens when I release the brake to drive again after a stop when the Auto Idle Stop comes on. To fix, I'll have to turn off the car and turn it back on.

I bought a 2018 Honda Odyssey EX-L with around 80,000 miles. Not long after, I noticed a loud engine vibration and rough noise during idling and acceleration. I took it to a Honda dealership, and they diagnosed a failing high-pressure fuel pump that required immediate replacement. There were no warning lights or messages — just a sudden failure. The most frustrating part is that so many other 2018 Odyssey owners are reporting the exact same issue. It’s all over forums and Reddit — people with Odysseys from around this year are dealing with premature high-pressure fuel pump failures, often between 70,000–90,000 miles. This is clearly not an isolated case — it's a widespread defect that Honda has yet to acknowledge. While Honda recalled the low-pressure fuel pump, they’ve ignored the high-pressure pump — even though it presents serious drivability and safety concerns. I was forced to pay $1,273 out-of-pocket at a Honda dealership to replace this failed part. I’m urging NHTSA to investigate this pattern and hold Honda accountable. This is not normal wear and tear — it’s a systemic failure that deserves a recall and reimbursement for affected owners.

My van started making noises and driving weird. Took it in to get checked out. These are the issues found: SAFETY RECALL: 2018-19 ODYSSEY CONNECTING ROD BEARING : 2024-04-19 TSB : ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:HARD PARTS INTERNAL/MECHANICAL : 2023-11-13 TSB : SAFETY RECALL: 2016-19 MULTI-MODEL CONNECTING ROD BEARING STOP SALE : 2024-03-08 The vehicle is available for inspection at request.

Crack in body seam above driver and passenger side of the tailgate AND underneath the roof rail cover caused water leakage. This resulted in a short of the power tailgate control module which draws down my battery and causes unexpected trunk closing during normal use. Family members have been hit in the head by the trunk due to the unexpected automatic emergency closing.

The passenger side sliding door was generally having issues with latching fully closed. But even after managing to get the sliding door fully closed, the rear passenger sliding door partially opened up by itself whilst going over a speed bump. It seems to be very dangerous for a sliding door to even partially open itself while the vehicle is driving and in motion. I've asked Honda to look at this pursuant to recall No. 20V-437 (which would seem to be the issue described in the recall of the door opening by itself), but Honda is advising that I may need to pay for even the diagnosis out of pocket without any acknowledgement that the repair or diagnosis will be covered. Date below is very approximate - all of this has happened over the last month or two.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the vehicle failed to exceed 20 MPH, with the check engine warning light remaining illuminated before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle with connecting rods failure in the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 90,000.

Defect-Linked Electrical Failures and Refusal of Support – 2018 Honda Odyssey I am filing a formal complaint regarding Honda’s refusal to cover a known, dangerous defect in my 2018 Honda Odyssey (VIN: [XXX] ). My vehicle is experiencing electrical and system-wide malfunctions that directly match Technical Service Bulletin 21-013, yet I’ve been denied goodwill coverage, and I am being forced to pay out-of-pocket for diagnosis and repair. The problems include: •Ongoing, loud popping sounds from the speakers while driving and after shutdown •System power failures, with audio and Bluetooth activating before the key is turned •Low battery warnings without cause •Factory HondaVAC system failure, now showing “PWR SAVE” despite a running engine I am a parent of five children and rely on this vehicle for daily transportation. These failures not only distract and stress the driver but compromise safety, communication, and vehicle reliability. Honda’s decision to shift financial responsibility for a known defect to the customer feels unjust and exploitative especially as many others have reportedly received goodwill repairs for the same issue. I am asking for assistance in holding Honda accountable under Massachusetts consumer protection laws. This is not typical wear and tear it is a manufacturer defect with ongoing safety implications.

The power liftgate stopped working so the rear door won’t latch. We had to drive home with it closed but not latched and beeping the whole way. I believe water has leaked into the control unit from the roof. The error on the dashboard says Tail Gate: Power tailgate problem

There is a recall on other 18 model year vans for the rod bearing failure. This happened to me on my van and it has had regular oil changes and has around 139000 miles on it. This could have been catastrophic for the ones around me if I was driving on the interstate and the bearing gave out and hurt my family due to the engine seizing. The vehicle has not yet been inspected due to this just happening. I am not the only one with this model year having this issue and my vin not being covered by the existing recall. There were no warnings prior to the issue. Oil was always clean and changed on time. This vehicle has a good history report and records.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated when the vehicle was shifted into park(P), the contact was unable to shift the vehicle out of park(P) into drive(D). The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V299000 (Power Train, Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 700.

Driving on the freeway my lane keeping assistance, automatic emergency breaking, and adaptive cruise control warnings were flashing. The prompts keep my focus off the road as the beeps and flashing orange lights cannot be disabled. During my drive, the multicamera on the windshield seems to be malfunctions and often I would get a signal of on coming traffic and my steering wheel would vibrate to prompt me to move. This can be extremely terrifying and sometimes caused me to swerve, potentially hitting other cars. The multicamera needs to be recalled and fixed.

Honda issued a recall on the fuel pump December 2023. They did not have any parts available to replace mine. I had brought in my Odyssey Elite to Space Coast Honda multiple times before the recall stating my engine wouldn't crank. I was unable to get the fuel pump replaced until December 5, 2024. ONE YEAR after the recall. I am now getting Emissions System Problems and Stop Driving When Safe Engine Temperature Too Hot. The dignostics that were pulled were P219A Secondary P219A, P0420, P219A. Also, my intake manifold gaskets are leaking coolant. I have had nothing but problems with this van since April 5, 2023 with my car not starting and stalling. My kids and I were stranded at their school two times and there were multiple times at my work. I don't believe I should have to pay thousands of dollars for these items to be replaced since I believe they're an issue due to me driving on a faulty fuel pump. I even called Honda Customer Service multiple times and they told me to keep driving it even though I expressed concern for my kids and having been stranded multiple times. Both dealerships said there was nothing wrong even though I brought it in multiple times for the same issue.

Automatic Idle Stop function causes car to stall in the middle of roadways. Idle is initiated when car comes to a complete stop at intersections, traffic lights, etc. Instead of rolling back on, engine stalls and brake seizes up, causing us to block traffic in the middle of roadways, intersections, traffic lights, etc. Car does not restart when power button is pushed. Only solution that has worked is to completely turn car off, open driver door and pretend to be ending trip by getting out, closing the door, walking away so car locks, waiting 30 seconds, then reapproaching the car and starting over from the beginning. This obviously causes major issues in the middle of roadways. On one occasion, no solutions worked, the brake pedal completely seized, and the battery had to be jumpstarted, despite the fact that it was a fairly new and undamaged battery. Problem persists even after changing battery.

Transmission failure. We had issues with acceleration and hesitation. When brought to the dealership they didn’t find anything wrong, but then the transmission ended up failing completely.

The vehicle would make noises and stalls during accelerations and decelerations. It would struggle to shift into gear, especially from 1st to 2nd gear. When the vehicle comes to a stop at traffic lights or stop signs, it's really hard to get the car to move when accelerating. In high speed on the highway, the vehicle would struggle to increase speed when accelerating and the vehicle would automatically slow down and get weighted down. This would result in having to pull over. Sometimes, the vehicle would not be able to be put into Park, and automatically shifts to Neutral not allowing it to be put into Park mode. When attempting to put it back onto Drive, the vehicle would not go and emission and transmission warning would start flashing. The majority of the time, the emission or transmission warnings would not flash. This is very frightening because I was not able to control the speed of the vehicle, and luckily when the car automatically shift to N and came to a stop, I was able to pullover to the side of the busy highway right on time. The car has been inspected for the same issues in the last 3-4 years by the dealership for the same problem. The transmission fluid got changed and that was all. Now it's happening again.

The automatic tail gate stopped working. When I went to replace the tailgate control module I found out that it was damaged due to water that leaked into the rear driver side cabin area. After doing some research to figure out the problem, I found that there where many others that have had the same problems on the same year, make and model as mine.

I have an intermittent set of warnings on Honda odyssey 2018 "lane keeping assist problem" "adaptive cruise control problem" "collision mitigation system problem" "road departure mitigation system problem" all at the same time will appear on the dashboard.

My vehicle is having symptoms described in the recall (Safety Recall: 2018–23 Odyssey Fuel Pump Motor - RCRIT-23V858-259). Although my VIN number does not show eligible for this Recall but I am having symptoms mentioned on this recall: 1. Difficulty starting Car and its intermittent. 2. Car Stalled at the Red light, traffic stops few time putting at the risk of being rear ended. 3. Engine hesitate when driving and feel jerky moves or unable to pick speed as it should normally. 4. Check Engine light shows up with all other functions disabled. 5. Local Honda Dealer code scanner tool to check error code and they reported DTC P0087. When I searched this symptoms I came across this Recall with same symptoms but My Vehicle does not qualify based on VIN # search. I need to issue resolved as it puts my family at the risk of being in an Accident while driving on roads for day to day activity.

All the safety systems randomly disable themselves while driving and throw this code. Next time the vehicle starts, sometimes they are gone, then come back while driving, other times they are there from the start. U0104(00) [0xC10400] Data bus, cruise control module - no communication

My tailgate stopped working, I was getting messages on my dash board that there was transmission system problems, reverse warning problems, keyless entry system problems. It always seemed to happen after a rain. I found that the van is leaking water through the driver’s side roof rack gully, near the back, and water is leaking right on the tailgate control system, causing all these other problems. It is also causing the battery to drain when car is parked idle. There should be recall to fix the leakage and replace the controller. It's a design defect, water shouldn't sip inside and burn the electrical components. Costing me hundreds/thousands. This is also safety issue because water damaged controllers causing issues with ADAS components too - getting check engine, break lights, etc. while the car is in motion. If those safety features are not working, that can be very dangerous. Thanks

I recently began hearing a strange noise when starting the engine of my 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite. While driving, I also noticed reduced acceleration and a change in engine sound when pressing the accelerator, indicating a performance issue. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership, where they diagnosed the problem as a malfunctioning fuel pump and recommended a full replacement. I am aware that Honda has issued fuel pump recalls affecting a number of vehicles, including some 2018 Odyssey models. However, when I checked my VIN, it showed no active recalls. Despite experiencing the exact symptoms associated with the recalled fuel pumps, I am being asked to cover the full cost of replacement—approximately $1,700—including parts and labor. I believe this may be the same defect covered under the broader fuel pump recall and request that Honda reevaluate whether my vehicle should be included. I am requesting either coverage of the repair under warranty or a goodwill repair to address what appears to be a known issue.

While driving my 2018 Honda Odyssey at approximately 35-40 mph on a regular city road, the passenger-side front airbag deployed suddenly and without any impact or external trigger. The road was clear, traffic was light, and no collision occurred before, during, or after the event. The airbag deployment was abrupt and loud, startling me and posing a serious safety risk to both myself and my passenger. Immediately after pulling over, I conducted a visual inspection of the vehicle. There was no damage to the front bumper, fender, windshield, or undercarriage, and no sign of impact or obstruction. The dashboard did not display any warning lights prior to or immediately after the event. I took the vehicle to an authorized service center, where they confirmed that no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) were stored and no mechanical fault could be identified. Despite my efforts to escalate the issue, Honda has declined to offer any support or written findings, stating they cannot assist if there is no identifiable cause. My insurance provider, State Farm, denied the claim as well, citing the absence of a collision. As of now, I am left with an unsafe vehicle, unexpected repair costs, and no accountability from the manufacturer or insurer. This incident could have resulted in serious injury if my passenger had been present, and I am extremely concerned about the safety implications for other Honda Odyssey owners. I am submitting this report in hopes that NHTSA investigates this potential safety defect. I’m willing to provide full documentation, photographs, and service records upon request.

ADAS System Failure. An audible alert would sound and the following problems would scroll across Dash Display: Auto High-Beam Problem; Adaptive Cruise Control Problem; Lane Keeping Assist Problem; Collision Mitigation System Problem; Road Departure Mitigation System Problem. Also, "BRAKE SYSTEM' illuminated in red near bottom of display. Diagnostic at Honda Dealer indicated, "U3000-49 Multipurpose Camera Unit Internal electronic Failure". To repair, the quote for the unit itself was $1201.34 plus tax. Calibration was an additional $660.00. I found the unit online at a better price and so purchased it and had the Dealer install. My total cost for the Unit and installation/calibration was $1.496.74. Even though it is a 2018 model I would have expected this camera unit to last much longer. It's an expensive part! My hope would be for Honda to issue an extended warranty and I'd be eligible for compensation on this repair. If needed I can provide paperwork. Please advise. Thank You.

Safety Recall #18-128, Power sliding door rear latches was performed on or around September of 2020 on my vehicle. Last week (04/30/2025), my passenger side sliding door would not open. After removing passemger side inner door panel to inspect, found rear latch cable frayed closest to a microswitch found (as of 05/04/2025, it is currently held together by 2 strands of the cable). I also verified the operation between the front and rear latch of the passenger sliding door with the door panel off, and noticed it intermittently touches the microswitch when closing the door, further confirming the issue. My concern is the rear latch cable being frayed. The latches operate normal and as intended, the problem is I cannot purchase the cables separately, only as a complete unit with the latch.

9 speed transmission issue: Ever since I purchased this vehicle around 50,000 miles in February of 2021 (mileage currently at 118,048), I noticed a very obvious delay in acceleration from a complete stop. Changing to eco drive mode and sport mode changes slightly, but still has delay. Transmission fluid has been changed 3 times since owning this vehicle and everytime it has, there was no noticeable changes in symptoms. Delayed acceleration occurs more consistently at normal operating temperatures. Brought vehicle to honda dealership after purchasing. They performed a TCM software update. Problem still occurs to this day. Multiple occasions occured where me and my girlfriend are driving and attempting to make a safe left turn only to proceed, but in process of attempt, the vehicle delays while facing oncoming traffic.

1/16/25 Van brought to Honda of Kenosha to complete fuel pump recall. Advised work was complete. 3/30/25 While driving, my van completely turned off. Creating an unsafe situation as I wasn’t parked but with engine running & van in drive. Van was towed to repair shop 3/3/25. When they opened on 3/31/25, I contacted them to explain what happened. Mechanic said it sounded like a fuel issue. I explained van had new pump 1/2025 per recall. Van started for the mechanic, but it wasn’t a smooth start. He drove it on & off over the next 48 business hours. It didn’t stop. I picked it up on 4/2/25 & began to drive home. Again, while driving it completely turned off. Creating an unsafe situation as I wasn’t parked but with engine running & van in drive. 4/3/25 My van was returned to the repair shop. They ran diagnostics & replaced high pressure fuel pump. But the van was still not running correctly. Despite the fuel pump recently being replaced, the mechanic tested it anyway. He learned the fuel pump was not replaced as I was advised & as it was documented.

During a side impact accident to the driver's side door, the SRS airbag system did not deploy the airbags. Driver ended up hitting their head and shoulder on the door frame.

Each time gas tank is filled completely, there is a strong fuel smell that lasts for a couple days. recently vehicle was parked facing down an incline after a recent fill and gasoline smell became very strong and an oily (shiny rainbow) slick noted leaking from under where the vehicle was parked. I believe this indicates that there is damage to the fuel tank near the top of the tank. I have started filling the tank 2/3 only and do not have the gas smell with that. Have had the vehicle for about 10 months and noticed the smell the first time I filled with gas, but did not suspect it was caused by a leak until recently. There is an "emissions system" error on dash. No issues with vehicle performance / operation.

The front camera has failed resulting in safety concerns including braking system and cruise control failure. This is a known issue with many new Honda Odysseys and needs to be recalled as it is not safe to drive as it disables all honda sensing and auto braking components on the vehicle.

The tailgate module has been fixed three times by Honda, along with the tailgate being resealed by honda, however, the car continues to leak water through a seal in the drivers side upper rarea. The electrical components and fuse boxes have been full of water causing the vehicle to turn on automatically, have every light illuminated, tailgate open on its own, tailgate won’t close, no turn signals, no power to infotainment center, infotainment permanently displaying back up camera while in drive mode. The tailgate has been resealed by Honda (balise Honda of West Warwick) in March of 2024 and vehicle will be back there this week due to same issue. Battery needed replaced due to all the electronics misfiring and automatically turning on- car has left my family, my children stranded multiple times due to electrical issues misfiring and depleting battery.

Upon startup of the vehicle the following Warnings flash on the dash: "Auto High-Beam Problem, ACC Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, LKAS Lane keeping Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem." This problem is easily reproduced and occurs almost every time I start my vehicle. I had my battery tested and it was reported to be GOOD. The vehicle still drives correctly, but none of the safety features listed above work. If these features are going to be mandated on newer vehicles they should be reliable and function correctly. I will never buy another Honda vehicle!

Honda has issued a recall for the 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey vehicles and certain Acura, Pilot, and Ridgeline vehicles due to a manufacturing error on the connecting rod bearing in the engine, which can damage the engine. Might also be in service bulletin 24-003. This recall, identified as #23V751000, was announced on November 12, 2023. MY VIN is not currently covered by this recall yet I am experiencing the exact same symptoms. I have 6 children that a transport in the vehicle daily and we are moving from Minnesota to Georgia soon. I cannot afford to pay for the repairs of this manufacturer defect out of pocket. Local Honda dealership estimates over $10,000 for this repair! I am now going to an automotive service center to see if they have a more affordable solution. It isn't looking good. I am still driving this vehicle, but the knocking coming from the engine compartment is getting louder and louder and I fear the engine could seize while driving on the road with my children in the vehicle. I also reported this to Honda Corporate on March 28, 2025.

The car has stalling problems and low power problem (changed 3 batteries in 5 years), took to dealership first time and they could not confirmed what's wrong. The problem became worse and stalled a few times, took to local shop and code p2638 torque management feedback signal came back, indicating problem with transmission or TCU. Then, it was noted that there's a NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:19V-299, specifically "Low voltage situations resulting from loose battery terminal connection(s) or a degraded battery could cause the Transmission Control Unit to reboot and shift the transmission to Park". The recall was on 2018-19 Honda Odyssey, however, my car's VIN is not included, therefore it is not covered. Contacted Honda corporate, they are saying since VIN is not part of the recall, it is not covered. The year, the model and the problem are exactly matches what's in the recall but Honda refuse to cover it or giving good will discount.

Stalling lagging on acceleration. Leaving me stranded in the middle of road or intersection. Honda dealership says they can duplicate the issue, but there is no fix.

The power tailgate has a failure. I took my minivan to a local mechanic who said the motor has failed. I tried to see if I could do the repair myself and came across a number of forums and YouTube videos that detail this is a known, reoccurring issue.

The problem began when the car was started after sitting for a few days. The ADAS system has intermittent loss. System will go offline than can recover only to go out again..

Front facing camera malfunctioning, and it is available for inspection upon request. This malfunction causing 5 different warning lights to show up on dashboard. Including 1.) Auto high beam problem, Lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, road departure mitigation problem. The issue has been confirmed by the dealer. There were no warning lights prior to the random malfunction. I have not had wind shield replaced (which I have read could mean a calibration of the camera issue), nor has there been any accidents taken place. My safety is at risk as I am unable to use these features while driving unless the front camera is replaced.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that an abnormal sound was coming from the engine. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the spun rod bearing had fractured, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while diving at 30 MPH around a bend, the Forward Collision Avoidance warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and an unknown part was greased. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

Failure of the tailgate module and blind spot sensor simultaneously. Electrical issues previously fixed due to water infiltration and this seems to be a recurring issue.

The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that previously, while driving at undisclosed speeds, there was a misfire coming from the engine. The engine had overheated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Hoehn Honda Carlsbad (5454 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad, CA 92008,) and an undisclosed repair was performed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

The multipurpose camera on the windshield needs to be recalibrated and I've been told by dealerships that this is a common problem with 2018 Honda Odyssey. Unless I pay over $2000 to have the camera recalibrated, systems including the antilock brake system do not work.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while his wife was dropping off their son at school, the sunroof was open, and the close button was depressed while the son’s hand was hanging out of the sunroof. The sunroof proceeded to close, and the sensors did not prevent the sunroof from continuously attempting to close. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that his wife was forced to push up on the sunroof to free her son's hand, and in the process received a minor cut on her right hand, while the son sustained bruising on his right hand. Medical treatment was needed for the injury. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the contact was advised that the sunroof assembly was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 111,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed back to the residence. The contact discovered that there was oil leaking from underneath the vehicle and that there was a hole in the engine block. The contact researched and was made aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,849.

Auto engine stop feature shuts off the vehicle when engaged. When the vehicle comes to a complete stop at a light or in heavy traffic, the auto engine stop feature will engage but the engine will not restart. The only way to restart the engine is to shutoff the vehicle, open and close the drivers door, then restart the car. This problem has been occurring for a few years. We have brought the vehicle to a dealer but they say nothing is wrong.

During rain and snow storms I will get warning lights that the power tailgate isn’t working. Last year when I took it into the dealer they said the tailgate would open and close randomly and there was water in the rear fuse box. I thought I fixed the issue by replacing all the wires from the rear all the way to the front. They fixed my tailgate and did water testing to make sure no water was coming in through the tailgate and all was great. Fast forward to this year and the middle of February we had an all day snow and rain storm and I start having these same warning lights along with a couple others. By the end of the day the tailgate completely stops working. I take it back to the shop that had originally fixed it and water is getting in. Not from the tailgate but through some unknown opening. The fuse board is completely corroded and we have to replace it again. They could not determine where the water is coming in from. I do not want to be driving down the road and have my tailgate randomly open and have items fall on the road causing injury to someone. Nor do I want to have to pay $1000 to fix the circuit board every time it rains or snows. I live in Utah it happens frequently.

2018 Power Tailgate Failure from Body Leak Tailgate stopped working. I read so many owners have the same problem.

My right sliding door stalls intermittently. It won’t open or close. My dashboard will read right sliding door problem. This has happened intermittently over the past 6-8 months.

During a normal drive on city road, the right side airbag and copilot passenger seat airbag both activate with no collision or agitation of the vehicle. Vehicle was sent to dealership for inspection; data transmitted to Honda USA. Honda USA replied that it is normal for airbag to activate even if there is no collision; Honda said even a speed bump could activate the airbag. Honda has refused to investigate further or compensate my repair. During the incident, the car was not going through any speed bump; it was just on a normal flat city road. There was no prior warning signs in the car. It could have caused significant personal injuries had my kids were sitting next to the airbag explosion because the bags activated with.no collision; there is no counterforce to the airbag thus it would thrust straight into a person. Luckily my kids were not in those seats at the time. It took so long to file to NHTSA because Honda had been very unresponsive after hearing my case, it took Honda half a year to inform me they are not doing any corrections or compensation to this incident.

Improper seal on exterior driver side roof near trunk lift gate. Allows water inside during heavy rain or when going through a car wash and the water damages the control module for the power tailgate. Damage to the control module cuts off any use of the tailgate, even manually. This is a $900+ repair due to a MANUFACTURER ERROR

Both of the manual passengers back doors will not fully close and lock.

The power tailgate opened by itself while I was driving on high way at around 60mph. Later it stopped working/won't open and the car battery died as well. Went to Honda dealership for a Diagnosis and found a water leakage on the roof of the back, causing the tailgate control module to be burned out by water damage.

On this 2018 Honda Odyssey, at 93000 miles, an abnormal noise started to occur under acceleration. Dealer diagnostic indicated the noise is coming from the bottom end of the engine, likely from the rod bearings. The dealer indicated that this specific VIN number is not included in the current Honda recall, however is exhibiting same symptoms.

The front facing monocular camera has failed and my 2018 odyssey has less than 55k miles on it. Without the operation of this camera you cannot use the cruise control and the dash lights up with all kinds of warnings (lane mitigation failure, acc failure, brake light continuously on). This is a known faulty safety feature that is far to common for the newer odyssey models. This is ridiculous that Honda has put this system into their vehicles, in particular the odyssey and there needs to be a service bulletin to repair this issue or recall completely. It is obviously a faulty part and needs to be resolved.

My 2018 family van purchased brand new. Exclusively serviced at dealer. Immaculately maintained records kept. Driving 70 mph on toll road while driving to dealer for service, car lost power and had to be towed remainder of the way. 100k service done at dealer, 40k miles later car had to be towed back to dealer due to broken rods. Honda says my vin# not effected yet car is inoperable for exact issue with open recall effecting rods. Recall states cars effected produced 2015-2020. Honda offered for us to pay $10k for new engine and they would cover remaining $4k. We do not believe we should get stuck with larger portion of payment when Honda has a known issue with part. Research on line states many more cars affected than the 250,000 initial recall. We appreciate NHTSA’s 2nd probe into this issue.

2018 Odyssey Elite with 43k miles. Apparently, the front facing camera failed and if the camera fails -- which seems to have been reported by many other owners -- it's about a $1700 fix from a dealer. Not only should the camera not fail, but this is happening to cars that are low miles, low use, and the failure affects all camera-related safety features of the vehicle: lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, parking collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.

The circuit board for the module that controls the power lift gate is damaged from water. Water seeps in the roof rail and wets the panel causing the the power tailgate to lock shut and unable to be opened.

Multiple warnings occurred simultaneously for the "brake system" intermittent. I have the same issue per [XXX] for my Honda Odyssey 2018 elite. I can see the same problem by a lot of people. I told Honda and paid them $220 diagnosis fees and they ended up asked me to change the whole camera that cost 4k. This obviously defect issue from Honda. Looks like known issue for this. Can this escalate back to Honda? For example [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2018 Honda Odyssey experienced a heavy snowfall in January 2025. The control panel displayed an alarm, Power Tailgate Problem , and the trunk door could not be opened. I asked a professional who pointed out that it is usually due to water intrusion into the control unit located on the rear driver's side body panel, which causes the tailgate to fail to open, close normally, or even open accidentally. They believe that this is a manufacturing defect caused by the manufacturer and there is a safety hazard. For safety reasons, I went to the dealer for an inspection. They said they could not find the cause but that the control panel was broken and needed to be replaced. I had to spend a lot of money to replace it. But I still think that the problem was caused by the manufacturer itself.

There is water leaking in the body which damages the power tailgate control module located at the rear driver side. the tailgate doesn’t open and endanger people inside in case there is any accident.

Upon starting the vehicle we get the following warning lights: Road Departure Mitigation System Problem Blind Spot Info System Problem Adaptive Cruise Control Problem Lane Keeping Assist Problem Transmission System Problem Collision Mitigation System Problem The vehicle is drivable but none of our safety features work. We took it to a local shop that was close and they said it’s a known issue with Honda and that the monocular camera located in the windshield is malfunctioning.

While driving certainly Air bag SRS problem information came up on the dashboard and never went away during my four hours of driving. I know this is a safety issue and so many accident happened before for failure of the air bags and people died. I though I should inform to NHTSA about this safety issue. I contacted the dealer and take my car to check this problem.

My car has had all recommended service completed by the dealership since I purchased my Honda Odyssey in 2018. On 2/18/25, my power liftgate started malfunctioning. An error message beeps inside my car 4 times, every 4 seconds and cannot be manually turned off. I took the car to the dealership and was quoted $7500 to make the repair. My car only has 90,000 miles on it and has passed all of my previous service inspections. Supposedly, water is getting into the rear control module. I have never had water in my car so this is clearly a manufacturer's defect that is allowing water to seep into the rear control module.

There is a major safety issue that has happened a few times now. As I come to a stop, or come out of a stop, the engine stutters and completely shuts off. All electronics stop too. Immediately there is a message flashing “right sliding door problem.” I have to put my foot on the brake and restart the engine to get going again. This recently happened as the red light turned green, and a car almost slammed into me from behind.

Went to leave my house at 8pm and the car was malfunctioning. Blind spot problem, parking sensor problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto engine idle stop problem . Lights flickering on and off, console lights not working, can’t control heating speed. Light would not stay on as I was driving . I have a couple videos of the malfunction.

See attached document for complaint.

I took my 2018 Honda Odyssey to the dealership for a fuel pump recall repair. The next day, the engine warning light turned on, and I heard a loud abnormal noise from the high-pressure fuel pump.I scheduled an immediate service appointment. The dealer charged me $230 for a diagnostic but claimed no fault or error code was found. They turned off the warning light without explaining why it was triggered.The abnormal noise from the high-pressure fuel pump persisted, and the dealer recommended replacing the high-pressure fuel pump for $1,942.78 while denying any connection to the recall repair. Component/System That Failed: High-Pressure Fuel Pump Engine Management System How Was Safety Put at Risk? A fuel system failure can cause engine stalling, leading to sudden loss of power while driving and an increased risk of a crash. Has the Problem Been Confirmed by a Dealer? Yes. The dealership acknowledged an abnormal noise from the high-pressure fuel pump but denied any connection to the recall. They only reported a DCA-8000 code, which is not a standard fuel system error code. Has the Vehicle Been Inspected by the Manufacturer? Yes. The dealership inspected the vehicle but refused to take responsibility. Honda Corporate was also contacted, but they denied warranty coverage. Any Warning Lamps or Symptoms Before the Failure? No prior issues before the recall repair. The engine warning light turned on the next day, and the abnormal noise from the high-pressure fuel pump began immediately after. Why This Needs to Be Investigated: The issue began right after the recall service, suggesting a possible defect. The dealer charged me $230 but failed to explain the warning light activation. If other vehicles experience this, it may indicate a recall defect. A fuel system failure can create serious safety risks for drivers and passengers. NHTSA must investigate whether the recall service contributed to high-pressure fuel pump failures, as this could pose a significant safety hazard.

In several occasions there is a delay in acceleration. This typically is happening when I take off from a stop sign and turning, others I have literally been on highway merging and loss all acceleration Al though I can hear rpm ramp up, there is no action till 10-15 seconds later. I am very lucky no was injured in that instance and could have been a terrible accident going 70+. I see this is an ongoing issue, and because it is not consistent in manner people fail to repair/research issue.

The airbag system malfunctioned, causing the airbags to deploy unexpectedly while driving. The vehicle is currently at the Honda dealer for repairs and the airbags, as well as related components, are available for inspection upon request. The unexpected deployment of the airbags posed a significant safety risk. It startled me, which impaired my control of the vehicle suddenly as I was driving on the highway. Afterwards, I noticed fumes in the vehicle and I began feeling nauseous and light headed. I managed to pull over on the highway and stepped out of the vehicle. This could have led to a loss of control of vehicle, increasing the risk of collision or injury to not only myself but others on the road as well. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet. However, my insurance appraiser inspected the vehicle immediately after the incident and confirmed that the airbags deployed without any signs of a collision or impact. The cause of the deployment remains unknown, and the appraiser recommended that Honda investigate the issue further to identify any potential malfunction in the airbag system. The issue has been inspected by my insurance appraiser, who concluded that while the airbags deployed, there were no visible signs of a collision or any impact that would typically trigger airbag deployment. The inspection of the vehicle’s exterior panels, undercarriage, and suspension showed no signs of damage. The cause of the airbag deployment is unknown, and the appraiser recommended that Honda investigate further to determine if a malfunction within the vehicle’s airbag system is responsible. I believe Honda is at fault, as this issue appears to be related to a malfunction that they need to address. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to the airbag deployment. However, after the airbags deployed, warning lights appeared on the dashboard, indicating a potential issue.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, there was a loud vibrating sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that when the vehicle was shifted into drive(D) and the accelerator pedal was depressed, the sound was louder. Additionally, the vehicle lost motive power during acceleration for approximately 10 minutes and then drove normally. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for a second opinion and the contact was informed that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,163.

Leakage through the top driver's side pinch weld near the rear of the vehicle has allowed water to infiltrate the power tailgate control module and render it sporadically operable. This has affected the vehicle main computer, causing unreliable operation of powered vehicle exit doors.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and failed to accelerate as intended. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was then steered over to the side of the road and restarted; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact observed a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the residence. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the control rod had fractured, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

My 2018 Honda Odyssey experienced a heavy snowfall in January 2025. The control panel displayed an alarm, Power Tailgate Problem , and the trunk door could not be opened. I asked a professional who pointed out that it is usually due to water intrusion into the control unit located on the rear driver's side body panel, which causes the tailgate to fail to open, close normally, or even open accidentally. They believe that this is a manufacturing defect caused by the manufacturer and there is a safety hazard.

2018 Honda Odyssey engine failure due to a 'spun' connecting rod bearing. This is a known issue with this particular make and model and should be considered in the recall for these vehicles.

The Tailgate Control Module (TCM) was infiltrated with water due to a crack in the seam on the rear driver side panel. This caused the tailgate to be unusable and no longer latch as a result of no power to the tailgate latch. The TCM (Part #: 74970-THR-A12) had to be replaced as well as all seams needed to be sealed.

Emission error code which is part of recalls due to Fuel pump and suddenly check Egin light came on and vehicle couldn't shift from Park Mode to Drive Mode. We took the vehicle to Dealer ship and they mentioned that transmission failure where vehicle just two weeks ago at the dealership for another repair and inspection report didn't specify anything about the transmission.

The vehicle has recently and suddenly developed a loud engine knocking sound which sounds like an engine bottom-end knock (crankshaft or connecting rod). The sound is dependent upon engine RPM and is most noticeable at low RPM and when the engine is warm. The knocking sound is severe for the first 1-2 seconds on cold engine start, until oil pressure is developed. There are two known incidents believed to be caused by this issue: 1. While driving on a public highway with a 75 MPH speed limit, the engine knock became severe and the check engine light began flashing. The car would not accelerate, and once speed was reduced it would not accelerate at all and "limped" home at much-reduced speed. Prevailing traffic had to take action to avoid colliding from behind. 2. While driving up a very slight incline on a public highway with a 65 MPH speed limit, the engine knock became severe and the check engine light began flashing. The engine was unable to produce power and struggled to climb the hill at around 33 MPH with prevailing traffic coming up quickly and swerving to avoid colliding. The vehicle "limped" home again. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center specializing in Honda and Acura vehicles, and confirmed that the knocking sound does indeed sound like a connecting rod and referred me to Honda service bulletin 23-097. I called American Honda to inquire as to whether my vehicle's VIN qualifies for the associated recall, and they said the vehicle does NOT qualify, and that it was a very narrow range of VINs which do qualify. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance, only the independent service center who did NOT open the engine bottom end for inspection, only listened and did non-invasive troubleshooting before referring me to Honda. Please add this to the Office of Defects Investigation's investigation RQ24013

Did not control Engine up and down fuel nt work.

Regularly maintained my Honda Odyssey Elite. Suddenly get warnings for all safety elements while driving - adaptive cruise control, Lane keeping assist, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam headlight. Recommended to report as this seems to be a common thing with Honda and needs to be a recall. Dealership wants me to change out the radar sensor in the front which seems to be the root cause. Lots of other Honda Odysseys having the same safety issue as reported on NHTSA website.

Our 2018 Honda Odyssey has continued to experience power sliding door issues that were initially addressed by NHTSA campaign numbers 18V795 and 20V437000. Our vehicle underwent the recommended repairs in both campaigns. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request, and the problem was reproduced by a dealer. In short, after undergoing both warranty repairs, the same problems gradually cropped up again. When attempting to close the door with the power-close button, the sliding door would sometimes stop about three-quarters of the way, and then open fully again. This would happen even when nothing was obstructing the sensor. This happened on both sides of the vehicle (i.e., both sliding doors), and eventually the doors ceased working altogether (albeit at different times) and we brought the vehicle to Honda for a non-warranty repair. The dealer was able to reproduce the problem in both doors, and they made the necessary repair in both cases (see attached invoices). Now, very similar issues have cropped up again, and our concern is that the initial warranty repairs may not have sufficiently addressed the root cause of the issue with these sliding doors. Once again the door sounds like it isn't latching completely. It's hard to describe, but everyone knows the sound in a vehicle when a window or a door is cracked just a little bit. The sound is exactly like that. The dealer told us that moisture intrusion and/or a latching issue may have caused this problem, and we also experienced a severed cable. Word for word, these are almost exactly the issues that campaign numbers 18V795 and 20V437000 were intended to address. If these are indeed the same issues that were the focus of the two recalls, then our vehicle is at risk of the same safety failures, i.e., the sliding doors opening while driving, failing to latch, and/or the snapping of the outer door handle cables due to moisture intrusion.

Did not control speed sometime up and down engine.

See attached document for complaint.

The seam seals on the rear driver's quarter panel of the vehicle are faulty and allowed water to flow into the cabin of the vehicle. The resulting damage was loss of function to the rear power lift gate, front seats, remote start and other key fob functions, as well as a dead battery(assumedly due to arcing on wet circuitry). The damage rendered the lift gate inoperable as I it initially closed but came open during operation. We continued to receive a power lift gae problem on the "Heads Up Display" but the power gate would not open or close, electrically or manually. After a few days the gate opened but would not close, rendering the vehicle unsafe to operate. Furthermore, the battery was dead and would not start. Had this incicdent not occurred in our driveway we could have been susceptible to being stranded in sub-freezing temperatures with kids. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and they confirmed a roof leak was a cause of the water incursion. The power lift gate module and floor harness were damaged causing failures to lift gate operation and other electronics. It will cost $7000 to have it repaired at the local Honda dealer. Pending completion of repairs and paperwork for submission.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal; however, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Regularly maintained my Honda dealership. Suddenly get warnings for all safety elements - adaptive cruise control, Lane keeping assist, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam headlight. Recommended to report as this seems to be a common thing with Honda and needs to be a recall.

The Honda sense front facing camera has went out on my 2018 Honda Odyssey. The camera is currently still installed in my van and if it is necessary to replace to keep it from draining the battery I will request that the faulty part be provided to me. This camera being faulty causes the loss of cruise control, adaptive cruise control, auto high beams, lane keep assist and emergency breaking. This issue is also causing a drain on the battery, which impacts other items due to low voltage. My van is currently at the dealership and I am being told that I will have to purchase a new camera which will be around $1500. The following lights are on; BREAKS, ACC and LKAS. These items first appeared within a few weeks of having the rear camera recall completed. Based on my research this is a common problem and just like the rear camera recall, Honda should have to replace this camera as well. The date provided is the date it was officially diagnosed by Honda, the lights appeared in 10/2024 and all of the functions were lost around that time.

Tailgate warning beeps. Tailgare Will NOT open or Close. Dashboard lites flash. Vehicle will NOT START ! CANNOT START or move Vehicle!

Fuel pump went out on my Honda Odyssey causing my car to stall on a highway with my kids. It kept giving me issues the last few days before stalling with taking off. It was as if the car did not want to take off when stopped and when accelrating. I did report this to my local Honda dealer and although there is a recall regarding the fuel pumps and injectors dealing with my make and model my vin number is unfor. not included. I had to have my car towed to my local dealership on 12/18 which I am still waiting on repairs. When this happened all of my warning lights appeared.

Power tailgate malfunctions. Random errors showing on dashboard and randomly attempts to open on its own.

Random multifunction camera failure triggering lots of errors. Needed to pay dealership over 2000 to fix. Safety issue as it disables blind spot detection, lane change, collision warnings etc

Up and down engine.

The rear tailgate stopped working. Upon investigation, there is structural issue with the body. There are holes near rear tailgate which allows to water to pass through. The water has damaged the rear tailgate motor and now the door is inoperable. This has been a common issue with Odyssey minivans 2018 and newer model. We have contacted honda regarding the issue and they refuse to accept any liability regarding the body defects.

Our 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan had water leaks intruding and collecting into the power tailgate control module on the driver-side rear compartment causing the tailgate to become nonfunctional and not lock properly or open/close appropriately leading to a major safety issue where the tailgate may open or even not close during movement of the vehicle leading to significant risk to passengers with respect to accident or bodily injury. This power tailgate issue appears to be caused by defective rear body seam seals from the manufacturer that allows water to leak into the rear driver's side panels and intrude into the module leading to damage and destruction of the module circuit board. I have needed to purchase a replacement for the module (~$200) and I have provided photos to show the water damage.

The Honda monocular camera is apparently causing malfunctions and or warning lights. This is impacting many Odyssey owners according to my research. This should be addressed by Honda and reimbursement or repair covered as a recall.

The engine failed without prior indication. The dealer says the engine is destroyed and needs to be replaced. Once the engine stopped working the vehicle would not go into neutral and was immovable preventing the vehicle from being moved to a safe location. The dash had a message that said the engine must be running to shift to neutral but the engine was blown. The owners manual has no solution to put the vehicle in neutral with an inoperable engine.

My 2018 Honda odyssey EX-L had a power tailgate failure. It looks like the controls module has experienced water damage from a water leak. An independent service center has confirmed the issue. There was no warning before it happened and it is a safety issue as my tail gate cannot Be securely closed. This water leak looks to be manufacturer error.

Multiple warning lights came on, indicating a failure with the front camera sensor attached near the rear view mirror. Errors include: auto high-beams, lane keep warning, collision mitigation system, road departure warning, brake system, and adaptive cruise control failure. All problems stem for the single point of failure - the front-facing sensor/camera located at the top of the windshield. Replacement quotes are $1,800 - $2,500!

My power tailgate stopped working after heavy rain. Based on online research this is a known issue due to faulty roof sealing and water infiltration, leading to tailgate module corrosion. The issue was confirmed by dealership diagnostics. They confirmed module corrosion and water infiltration. Offering replacement and resealing at $1069. https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/honda-being-sued-because-some-odysseys-may-have-a-leaky-tailgate-than-can-open-at-anytime/

I just had several recalls completed on my van. The issue that they couldn’t fix (which I have seen on so many message boards) my car stalls when starting from a stop. If I’m at a stop sign and press the gas nothing happens for 2-3 seconds and then it will catch and take off throwing everything in the car and the people forward. It is terrifying! I’ve had it happen with cars approaching and just been a sitting duck, thank the Lord it engaged in time. This seems to be a very prevalent issue and I don’t understand why a recall hasn’t been done before someone dies. My trunk also doesn’t work automatically anymore and they said I had a leak that would be $300 to diagnose and $500 to fix. I know ther are lawsuits for both of these issues. Recalls need to be issued.

Infortainment center shuts down and loses connection. Which means there is no communication with the backup camera or navigation. Popping noises from the front speakers start static and pop then the screen states connection lost then goes black. Turns back on in about 5-10 minutes depending. Also the lighting for the buttons around the center are not working as well. Idk if this is related or is an overload that the system cannot keep up.

The camera projector needs to be replaced according to the Honda dealership. Too many Honda Odysseys are having similar issues. Come thing is battery replacement or vehicle is located in warmer climate states. This camera mount is too sensitive to voltage swings or warm weather which is a poor design by Honda. It is a major safety concern not being able to use key features in the Elite and Touring models such as adaptive cruise control, LKAS, and the other 5 warnings that won't go away. This needs to be resolved by Honda so that vehicle owners can get back on the road safely. The cost to replace the camera and calibration is ridiculous ($1700 - $2000). This will be the last Honda vehicle we ever buy if Honda doesn't setup and correct this issue with thousands of Odyssey vehicles. This a major issue and Honda needs to recall and correct this issue before a major lawsuit comes their way to due to this poor design.

My 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite as faulty camera system above rearview mirror according to our local Honda delaer. The dealer is asking for $1700 to replace this item. It is causing multiple warning lights (5) on the dash and now adaptative cruise control, lane keep assist, brake system, and other systems are no longer working. Multiple Honda Odyessey owners are having this same issue. We need help getting this issue corrected/fixed by Honda as a recall.

All alert lights came on suddenly (ACC, collision mitigation, road departure, auto high beam, etc). Took the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnosis, and found out there is a faulty multipurpose camera in the front near the windshield. Upon research, this seems to be a common problem for Honda vehicles manufactured between the years 2018-2019. Total cost of repair and labor is over $2,000.

Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warnin, Lane Departure Warning, and Lane Keeping Assistance lights came on and won't go away. Sometime the car won't reverse when put in reverse.

Unknown but many Honda Odyssey owners are reporting the same issue which most likely caused by defective multipurpose camera at the front windshield. This create alerts and deactivates safety features: adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, Lane keep assist, collision mitigation, auto-high beam, road departure mitigation, and Brake system.

Multipurpose front camera controlling multiple vehicle safety features had internal failure. Dealer required replacement of camera and calibration. Multiple warning lights came on dashboard to alert of issue. Faulty camera was diagnosed by Honda dealer and is with dealer currently.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 20-25 MPH uphill with the windows down, the contact heard a knocking or tapping sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for an oil change and the dealer confirmed hearing the tapping sound. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Lia Honda Williamsville Auto Repair & Service Center (4891 Transit Rd, Williamsville, NY 14221); however, the knocking sound was not heard. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact had heard the sound approximately 3 more times. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.

I got in and turned on the car one afternoon and all these lights came on. No wrecks or anything has happened. Just all systems have failed. Brake System problem ACC problem Collision Mitigation Problem Lake Keep Assist Problem Auto High Beam Problem This is a HUGE safety issue as this vehicle carries my children. We will be taking it to the dealership this week but these types of issues shouldn’t be happing this quickly. We need a recall to fix this issue as many many others have had these same issues. These are safety systems that will save your life!

My 2018 Honda Odyssey stalls or hesitates when I go from a stop to accelerate. The vehicle will lose all power for 3-6 seconds and when the engine catches up to the pedal, the vehicle accelerates hard, spinning the tires and jerking the vehicle. I've had the vehicle inspected at my local Honda dealership and they've said the vehicle has no open recalls. This includes the fuel pump recall and the engine recall, neither recall has been issued for my vehicle. The results of the inspection was the technician explaining that "the vehicle just does that." My vehicle has not produced any warning lamps for the engine. My vehicle has produced several warnings lamps and warning messages on the infotainment screen about the side doors being open. I've had several instances where the door will not close and or will not open properly.

Engine has been “hiccuping” for a few months and making a knocking sound. Brought it to Honda on 3 separate occasions and they “could not replicate” the sound. And said it’s normal. I’ve had 2 non Honda mechanics look at it and they agree it sounds like a rod knock and engine failure is going to happen sooner rather than later.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the engine made an abnormal knocking sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the timing belt had failed and needed to be replaced. The timing belt was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The dealer determined that the connecting rod bearing in the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the engine needed to be taken apart to perform the repair. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000(Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the repair could not be covered under the recall because the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 86,470.

Code p219b. I feel this vehicle falls into the same fuel injector issue as other 2018 Honda odyssey. Bulletin 20-100, 21-010

Passenger side sliding door consistently failing to close. Each time problem occurred the showroom needed to reset the door. While traveling if this slide door open it is closing back. Until reach showroom I have to drive van when door opens and it beeping. It happened couple of times therefore I am afraid to open the door. Thank you!

During the hurricane Milton evacuation my wife and our 3 children suddenly lost power on I75 North in the dark and had to pull to the side of the road with speeding cars flying by in near pitch black. we later discovered that the control rod in the engine is broken according to a Honda dealership and we would need a new engine. The dealership said it is very strange for this to happen with how well it appears to be maintained and that there was a previouse recall on the 2018 and 2019 Honda Odysseys and mine might need to be included however upon speaking with Honda they said there was nothing they could do. Dealership quoted me $9,100.00 for new engine.

At approximately 70,000 miles, vehicle transmission failed after intermittently falling to go into reverse and transmission warning system shifting vehicle down while driving. Rebuild parts not available from manufacturer, replaced transmission with used part. Immediately after putting car back into service, engine began to knock severely. Dealer recommended full engine replacement. Car currently not drivable and has been parked for past 13 months.

Either the engine or something else keeps failing and i completely lose power. I got the car towed back to my house. The car starts but a lot of the time it will keep shutting down while I'm on the road. I went to the dealership twice to get it checked out and they say that they do not know what the problem is and can not guarantee that they can fix the issue.

Issue-1 High pressure fuel pump in the engine bay (no the fuel pump that was recalled for some VINs) failed at 88000 miles. There was a loud motorcycle exhaust kind of sound coming from the engine bay , which is more audible from inside the cabin than from the engine bay itself. Took it to service center for a 1500$ replacement. Wrote to Honda customer care , but they rejected by claim and goodwill refund saying there is not recall for this item. It is example of poor quality of Honda these days especially with this 2018 Nine speed model. Issue-2 MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. The vehicle doesn't accelerate while moving from a complete stop or turning into a busy intersection , making us prone to big Collison from oncoming traffic. The vehicle lags for 3-5 seconds before it accelerate rapidly. This is an ongoing issue with this model which Honda ignores and is a disaster waiting to happen. NHTSA should look into this and recall all HONDA 2018 9 SPEEED ODYSSEYS to fix this issue. It is been 6 years and Honda comfortably ignoring this safety hazard especially for a vehicle meant for kids.

While driving down the interstate, the engine started to make a loud squealing noise. I pulled over to investigate. Not being a mechanic, I couldn't determine anything. I attempted to start going again and the engine had no power. I was barely able to get it off the highway and we called for help. In the van were me, my wife, and daughter. It was scary with cars and semitrucks driving past us at high speeds. I was concerned. We were able to get the van towed after several hours of waiting. It was a hot day and I had a tick on me while waiting. The van took over a month to repair. The dealership confirmed the cause of the engine failure as the cylinder #2 connecting rod bearing. There were no warning lights when we pulled over the first time. When we started going, the check engine light came on.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at approximately 68 MPH, the vehicle intermittently stalled, and there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. No warning light was illuminated. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed; however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure persisted. The contact was informed that the VIN was included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed and it was determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer again and was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

The front monocular camera (36160-THR-A03) completely stopped working. It is behind the rear view mirror, behind the front windshield. Errors displayed on dashboard indicating lane keep assist, forward collision warning, brake mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and brake system lights turned on. (99% of the time). On occasion, transmission problem, blind spot detection, AND rear camera cross traffic detection (radar disabled) would also go on (3% of the time). While driving the vehicle on the freeway, the dashboard went completely BLACK for about 3-5 seconds, and I could not see my speed, fuel, odometer, and everything else. It came back on, but that really concerned me. I immediately opened a ticket with Honda Corporate. (Repair Diagnosis Request: 14552995). The root cause was not identified. However, some speculate a failing battery (low voltage) can trigger it. In my case, I replaced the battery first when the symptoms first started, but the issue did not resolve even after driving it 500+ miles. The oddest symptom is something I could not explain. Every Saturday (like clockwork because kids soccer practice), between 12pm-1pm local time (Eastern for me), the issue would go away completely and the camera (and all assistive features) would work completely normal. As soon as I power off/on the vehicle, the issue came back immediately… until the next Saturday. This happened 3 times, 3 weeks in a row. Makes me think there’s a software/firmware glitch. Honda did a goodwill with me and paid 50% of parts and labor. Honda (dealership) confirmed it was a part failure, and replaced the part and all issues went away. Given the front camera issue also affected the rear camera on occasion (cross traffic radar failure), and that part was already recalled, my opinion that when this part fails, it has greater implication to other safety features/electrical system. Due to this also being cost prohibitive, I suspect many will opt to not to fix it.

The check engine light on my 2018 Honda Odyssey has been on since January 2024. We took it to the dealer (Music City Honda - Mt. Juliet, TN) and they claimed the 02 sensors were bad. We paid $500 to have these replaced, but the light came back on. We then received the recall for the fuel pump module. We have tried twice since May 2024 to get the part under recall replaced but have been told both times that the part is unavailable. The dealer claimed that we could bring it in but if the issue is not determined to be related to the recall, we will have the pay the diagnostic fee. Not only is my check engine light on (it says Emissions System Problem), but my car stalls while driving. This poses a significant safety risk for myself and my family, and Honda is refusing to do their part to remedy the issue at no cost.

Driving vehicle on the road, the suite of driver assistance system suddenly failed including LKAS, front collision warning system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure as well as brake system light. I took the car to the dealership which indicated the front camera had catastrophically failed. This issue seems to be a recurring issue in all models of odyssey minivans. The issue is well documented in online forums. It should be a safety recall from Honda compared to other recalls on same vehicle. Dealer quoted me $2000 to fix this! HONDA - fix this and issue a recall before there is a lawsuit and someone gets hurt

Multiple dash lights warnings (LKAS, forward collision, lane departure, etc.) came up. Brought it to the dealership and was told that this is an electrical camera issue that is overheating, and there is no preventative or ways to keep it from happening. It would cost an upward of $2000 to fix it. This should be part of the recall since it seems like it’s happened quite frequently with the other Honda Odyssey.

I took the car to the dealership which indicated the front camera had catastrophically failed. This issue seems to be a recurring issue in all models of odyssey minivans. The issue seems to appear for recent and older vans and is well documented in online forums. It should be a safety recall from Honda compared to other recalls on same vehicle.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while stopped, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle hesitated while accelerating. On another occasion, the contact stated that while his wife was driving, the message "Stop Driving when Safe - Transmission Failure - See Owner’s Manual" was displayed. The contact stated that his wife pulled over to the shoulder of the road and parked the vehicle, and the vehicle became difficult to shift out of park. In addition, the contact stated that the RPM occasionally fluctuated and there was a delay with the vehicle responding. The contact also stated that the transmission was shifting hard. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with an internal cylinder failure and that the 9-speed manual transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken back to the same local dealer several times; however, no failures were diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by the local dealer to assist with the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

Had about 4 incidences that van completely stalled while driving when coming to a stop. about a week later, was driving the van at approximately 6o mph when it completely shut down, had to pull over immediately to get off road. came to a fast stop. was thankful no other cars were behind us when it happened, feel they would have hit us as the vehicle shut down so quickly. there were no warning lamps or messages indicating any issues. My husband changes the oil/services it according to the manufacturer guidance. Was told by the local mechanic the engine is locked up, would need replaced. Called Honda to report, and since we do not service it at a Honda dealership, they would not assist.

All of my safety sensors no longer work. Warning lights for all sensors are on at all times.

Lane keep assist, road mitigation, auto hi beam, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, road departure all errors and no longer work. New windshield wuth calibration august 2024, new battery 10/28/24. Issue started 10/25/24. A little over 90,000 miles on vehicle. Started vehicle in parking lot and all warnings came on. After new battery, warnings cine on and off at random.

Why has there not been a recall on Honda Odyssey's multi camera in windshield - it seems this is happening to many autos. These are ALL Safety issues that should be resolved by Honda. Dealership says it will cost me $2000 to have this repaired. Let me remind you that I had not even made a payment on this auto when the transmission went out while still under warranty. I had not had it a full month when this happened. We are grandparents raising our grandchild, we purchased this automobile for space for carseats and such, thinking it was a very safe automobile. Now many of the safety features no longer work! Not only are we on a fixed income but raising a child is not cheap! Auto High Beam Problem, Road departure Mitigation System Problem,, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Brake System. These are constantly flashing on my dash.

For over a year, my 2018 Honda Odyssey has intermittently hesitated when accelerating, particularly when pulling into intersections or merging into traffic. This hesitation creates a significant safety risk, as the vehicle momentarily fails to respond to acceleration, increasing the potential for collisions in situations where immediate response is necessary. The issue is consistent with symptoms outlined in Honda’s recall (NHTSA Recall Number: 23V-858) involving a malfunctioning fuel pump impeller. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer, who confirmed the issue but indicated that they lack the necessary parts to complete the repair. Despite repeated inquiries, the part remains unavailable, leaving the vehicle unsafe to operate and creating an ongoing safety concern. No warning lights or dashboard messages appear prior to or during the hesitation. The dealer has acknowledged the problem, but without parts, the recall remedy remains incomplete.

When audio system is turned on, a very loud crackling sound occurs, and will continue after audio is turned off. Sirius XM works most of the time (with crackling sound). However, when the regular radio is turned on the audio will work for just a minute (with crackling sound), and then it will suddenly stop working and a message pops up on the display that says "audio connection lost". This also happens when a phone's Bluetooth audio is connected to the car. It triggers the audio system to suddenly fail. There has been other electrical issue with the rear lift-gate suddenly closing, with no way to stop it. It almost pinned my daughter and I on separate occasions. I'm not sure if this electrical issue is related to the audio issue, but as with any electrical issue I worry about the possibility of an electrical fire.

When pressing the accelerator from a stopped position, sometimes there is a need to let off the accelerator and then press it again. There are times when I do this sequence of events and the car doesn’t accelerate but almost seems to stall. Pressing the accelerator does not increase the speed. To remedy, I have been waiting a few seconds before repressing the accelerator to give the van time to shift or whatever it needs to do not to “stall”. This evening particularly, I was turning right on red so I accelerated and then I noticed that the cars on the street I was turning into had started to go so I let off the accelerator. Unfortunately I noticed that I was too far into the intersection and had no choice but to keep accelerating but my van stalled and wouldn’t accelerate when I pressed on the gas for a few seconds. It eventually “caught up” and accelerated but I ended up spinning my tires and “peeled out”.

Rear backup camera stopped working. Currently there is an active recall for 2018 Odysseys on all trim levels vin specific but somehow our vin number isn’t covered under the recall. I followed service bulletin 20-060 and it fixed the problem.

Started my car and got all these warning lights ACC problem, Collision Mitigation Problem, Lake Keep Assist Problem, Auto High Beam Problem. From reading forums online this is a common issue for Honda Odysseys 2018-2023. The camera is faulty. This should have a recall.

I was driving on the interstate at 80 mph when my engine suddenly failed. The check engine light began to flash, the car began shaking, and there was a very loud thumping from the motor. Thankfully, I was able to pull off the road to safety. Honda diagnosed the problem this morning. They said a connecting rod bearing rotted out, so the engine threw a rod. There is a recall addressing this exact issue for my model year, but my VIN was not included in the recall. Doing a quick google search, I found several other owners of 2018 odysseys in the same boat - sudden engine failure due to a thrown rod, but their VIN wasn't included in the recall. I drive my car a lot, so it has 140,000 miles on it already. This makes me think that I'm likely to be in the early wave of vehicles experiencing sudden engine failure due to an issue with the conn rod bearing. Someone else may not get so lucky and be able to pull off the interstate when their engine blows. The repair is going to cost me approximately $8,000. Once I have the invoice and other documentation available, I'll share it here. I didn't want to delay sharing this information until after the repair is done, though, because if Honda doesn't expand their recall to include more 2018 Odysseys, someone else isn't going to get as lucky as me, and injury or death are a real likelihood. (Plus, having your engine suddenly fail is just a bummer regardless.)

After weathering hurricane Milton, the rear liftgate on my 2018 Honda Odyssey will not open. No apparent damage was done to the vehicle, however after starting the van, the dash stated there is a power liftgate issue. This warning was not present before. After doing some research the issue appears to be the tailgate control module, as many other people have found this to be the case. Some people have said to open the tailgate from the inside using the manual latch. However, in my case after attempting to do so, the door remains stuck. A lot of people have pointed to water intrusion as the reason for a faulty Tailgate Control Module. If I am able to open the liftgate manually I intend to replace the faulty module.

When I turned on the ignition to drive the vehicle, multiple warning lights came on to include failure of Lane Keeping Assistance, Forward Collision Avoidance, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking. Additionally, after acknowledging these lights, the "Brake System" light remained on in the Amber color. If these safety features are not working properly, it can put the occupants of my vehicle as well as others at risk. We took the vehicle to the Honda Dealer. They ran the diagnostics and stated that the fault was "Internal Electronic Failure of Multipurpose Camera Unit/Internal Failure of Multipurpose Camera". We had to replace the Multipurpose Camera and have the new one re-calibrated.

This Honda Odysse 2018 model has leak water on rear corner . You have to find out where is leaking and fix it , if you don't fix water leak after you install new control unit it will happen again . To find out where is leaking is a major problem. Honda DO NOT recall on it

Upon inspection from Honda dealership, internal failure of multipurpose camera

Rear tailgate is inoperable because of water damage. The rear driver side seatbelt is wet, the floor of the trunk is wet, the water damaged the control module for the rear tailgate, it does not open.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed a strong fuel odor in the interior of the vehicle. The contact stated that the fuel odor was overwhelming. In addition, the contact stated that the fuel odor was also noticed outside the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken to the dealer several times, however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact was informed that nothing could be done regarding the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. In addition, the contact stated that he was contacted by a Honda representative, however the case was closed after the representative spoke with the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

When trying to accelerate from a stop either in an intersection or from a driveway the vehicle takes a long moment before it responds... leaving my family vulnerable to cars coming from the opposite direction. I think it's the transmission but it could have to do with the fuel intake... it has been ongoing for months and months. The dealer has attempted to rectify but to not avail....very dangerous

Multipurpose camera failure. Warnings appeared upon failure after being parked in the shade on a moderately warm day ~80 degrees. Warnings with chimes reappear after being cleared, causing distraction while driving. Safety systems are inoperable without expensive camera replacement. Systems disabled as a result include Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation System, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, Auto High Beam system.

UNKNOWN At random times I will push the gas pedal and the car does not engage at all to move. I will lift my foot up and down trying to engage the engine and it won’t. After a few times it will catch and the car takes off making the tires squeal, spin or jerk. It happens at random times, no warnings whatsoever that there’s a problem. It is very dangerous at intersections when turning left on green lights, when pulling out of parking lots. It’s to the point I am afraid to drive it at busy traffic times because it happens so often and I’m afraid of getting hit while my car will not move. We have told the dealership and they suggested we wait for the fuel pump recall to be readily available. I looked in forums and this seems to be a major problem for many other owners of the 2018 or newer. It started approximately two years ago and continues to happen, in fact happening more often.

Just purchased a 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite and as soon as I turned on the sound to listen to music for carplay /bluetooth/stereo all methods of sound it started making loud crackling sounds and starts going intermittent with sound cutting out. I lowered the volume and crackling still loud like little tiny rocks hitting window sound. I seen there's a recall with the same issue for other vehicles but when i input my VIN there's no recalls. I am having the same issue and feel like my vin /vehicle type should be on recall as well.

Transmission hesitation when turning from stop. Scary when traffic is coming. Not safe and seems to be a common, known issue. https://www.odyclub.com/threads/2018-odyssey-having-1-3-second-acceleration-lag-from-stopped-or-rolling-on-9-speed-transmission.368250/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HondaOdyssey/comments/pxw7xz/2018_honda_odyssey_having_major_acceleration/ https://www.odyclub.com/threads/hesitation-on-acceleration.362860/

My 2018 Honda Odyssey van have had persistent acceleration hesitations after completed stops, especially during making left or right turns at street intersections since July 2022. This car normally hesitates for 2 to 3 seconds after accelation pedad is pressed before suddently jumps forward. Acceleration hesitation for few seconds, during making a turn, is very dangerous due to in coming cars in my opinion; as a result, we have tried to avoid using my odyssey van as much as possible due to potential accidents when making a turn with this Honda van.

The adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and other safety functions associated with the front camera failed. These safety features are a huge part of the vehicle and doesn't feel safe to drive. The front camera has failed in under 6 years and is currently being replaced by the dealer to hopefully fix these issues. The repair is not covered by Honda.

All of our sensor controlled equipment is not working. LKAS, ACC, Forward collision, auto brights, etc.

The tailgate malfunctions and the car does not register the tailgate as closed even if it is closed. The power tailgate ceases to be operational and the locks do not work. The cause is a defect in a seam which allows rain water to reach the control unit for the tailgate. This was confirmed after an inspection at an official Honda dealer. This is a safety issue because it renders the car inoperable. The “tailgate open” warning signs and sounds flash. There is currently a Honda “Engineering Request for Investigation” released. It can be accessed at the following link: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle started to display ACC PROBLEM, LKAS PROBLEM, TRNSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, AUTO LIGHTS PROBLEM and BLIND SPOT INFO SYSTEM PROBLEM recently around September 19,2024 and disabled all the safety features mentioned on the vehicle while it is in motion. This is a huge safety issue and could cause severe problem for many drivers and passengers in case of serious accidents which could be avoided if those systems are functioning properly. Upon researching the issue, this is very common problem for many of similar vehicles and it seems to be related to the monocular camera on the windshield. I strongly urge for quick investigation on this matter and have Honda Motors to do a recall for replacing faulty camera as it could impact many lives.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the rear drivers side sliding door failed to latch securely.

Diagnostic is U3000-49: "Multipurpose camera unit/millimeter wave radar internal electronic failure. Multipurpose camera internal failure. Camera is overheating and hot to the touch." Honda is saying this is separate from the recall already issued on the camera and will be a $2K repair. Multiple other owners of other 2018 Honda Odysseys reporting same failure. Van running fine, then all of a sudden warning panel lit up with the following warning messages: Adaptive Cruise Control problem Lane Keeping Assist problem Collision Mitigation System Problem Road Departure Mitigations System problem Auto High-Beam Problem Local reputable auto repair shop said it is not safe to drive due to the extremely high temperature of the camera unit.

We started hearing a metal knocking type noise on start-up and acceleration. We took it to a mechanic who diagnosed it as a rod-bearing problem. Then we took it to the Honda dealership thinking it was related to recall 23V751000 which also deals with 2018 Honda Odysseys, but for some reason our VIN was not included in that recall even though our problem sounds exactly like what is mentioned in the recall. The dealership said we are 6 months out of warranty and would therefore need a new engine. I used one costs $9,000 and a new one would be $22,000.

Engine noise, dealer service indicated that its the rod bearings, since I have never ever had this problem on any other car I have owned in 50 years i did a little research and immediately found lots of information and a recall for this problem but my VIN is not included but its exactly the same problem identified in the recall

ACC,LKAS,Collision Mitigation System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Auto High Beam warnings. All read problem and do not go away

There are times especially when first starting the car that pressing the gas does not move the car from a stopped position. There is quite a delay and sometimes a need to turn the car off and back on for the car to move. This can be quite dangerous when stopped and then crossing lanes of traffic as it is unknown when this delay between pressing the gas pedal and the car actually moving may occur. This was reported to Honda service who advised it is normal for this car to have such a delay.

See attached document for complaint.

Forward collision warning comes up on vehicle. There is a problem with the transmission. the car automatically shifts itself from D to S.

Failure of the Front windshield mounted monocular camera from overheating causes all advanced driver assistance systems to shut down such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, etc. This is a very common occurrence in not just the Honda Odyssey, but other Honda models as well. A new part can be anywhere from one to two thousand requiring dealer calibration. The heat from the sun, the location of the monocular camera and possible contribution from replaced non-OEM windshields may contribute to the overheating. With all safety devices disabled, the vehicle becomes unsafe to operate requiring immediate attention and dealer only service since a new device requires calibration.

Several warnings popped up on my dash at once: adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, brake system, auto highbeam, collision mitigation system, and road departure mitigation system. The dealer’s Internet is down for at least several days, so they are not able to troubleshoot the problem. However, an internet search to troubleshoot myself indicates that this is a standing, systemic issue with 2018 and 2019 Honda Odyssey’s that may warrant a recall.

There is a water leak in the body of the van (where the top and side are welded together). The water has caused damage to the electrical panel that controls the back door/liftgate. The water damage is also shorting out and causing electrical damage and the battery to die very often. I have noticed many complaints about this. I believe this should be a recall because it is a flaw in the making of the vehicle and nothing I could have done to prevent it.

My trunk was working anymore. I could not even open it manually. I had a shop that only works on Acura's and Honda's look at it. The control module for the trunk was wet and fried. I dont understand why it was wet in the first place since it was in seal box. This should be a recall on it. Please see attach pictures. I paid $669 to have them replaced it.

We encountered a total engine failure while driving down a Montana highway in our 2018 Honda Odyssey. In the car were my partner and I, an elderly person, and a child. We had to wait over 2 hours for a tow truck in extreme heat in a dangerous location. There were no warning indications before the failure.

The forward camera sensor used in the 5th generation Honda Odyssey Touring is experiencing high rates of failure, especially in hot weather. This causes failure of the Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Collision Mitigation system, Road Departure Mitigation, and Auto High Beam systems. The part number of the camera is 36160-THR-A72, 36160-THR-A73, or 36160-THR-A74 depending upon the date of manufacture.

I have a 2018 odyssey and have only had it for about 6 months. One of the biggest issues I’ve noticed is when I go to accelerate, the car does not go right away. I have to push down hard on the pedal and the tires spin, resulting in the van lurching then accelerating quickly. This has caused MANY moments of panic as I’ve gone to accelerate to pull into traffic or to drive across a main road and it’s stalled for a moment then lurches into accelerating. I’m a careful driver and have always used acceleration in moderation and try to ease into it. This van does not allow that. You will try to press down on the pedal to slowly accelerate with nothing happening, then it’s like it connects and plows forward. Tires spinning and all.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. In addition, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,000.

Prior to purchasing this vehicle, On the test drive, the vehicle slammed on the brakes for no good reason. The dealer assured me the collision mitigation braking system (“CMBS”) can be turned off, so I bought the car. I then learned that the CMBS automatically turns on every time the engine is turned on. I must shut CMBS off each and every time I start the car, but since my other car is a Tesla (which doesn’t have this problem), sometimes I do forget to shut off CMBS. Through out my almost 7 years of ownership, the car has slammed on the brakes COUNTLESS numbers of times for absolutely no reason at all. Sometimes no cars are behind me, but there have been several times when cars behind me have almost crashed into me due to my faulty CMBS. My elderly mother is in need of a car and I refuse to let her borrow mine because I am scared she will forget to disable the CMBS and get into a crash. I am deeply astonished that with everything that is known about Honda’s CMBS, NHTSA has not taken any action against this dangerous feature. I wonder what NHTSA is getting paid to look the other way. A complete failure of an institution I used to hold in high regard.

I bought new and have 59,000 miles on the car. During the past year or two, when I get to a stop sign and about to cross or turn into a busy road (that has no traffic signs for the cars traveling on that road), the car hesitates when I step on the gas pedal, then after a second or two, the car lurches forward (abruptly) while screeching the tires. My analysis is that there is something about making several complete stops in short succession (as a driver would do in an attempt to inch into a busy intersection of fast moving traffic in order to get a better view and position the car for a smoother merge) which triggers the car to stall for a second or two. I say this because it does not happen at any other types of intersections. The danger here is that a second or two is crucial in avoiding a crash when you are trying to merge into a gap in traffic. Then after hesitation, the car lunging forward in an uncontrolled manner can cause an inexperienced driver to loose control of the vehicle during a turn. There are many similar complaints filed with NHTSA and posted on online owner forums. Many owners have reported to Honda, but Honda’s response is that this is how the car is supposed to drive. NHTSA, where are you? We need help on this

The vehicle often hesitates to accelerate when pressing the fuel peddle. This mostly happens when backing out of a driveway and placing the gear into drive but also has happened after coming to a full stop and then pulling out. The hesitation lasts about 1-3 seconds and could lead to a collision if I decide to pull out in front of oncoming traffic and anticipate the car to accelerate rather fast. Often, during the hesitation the instinct is to press the gas pedal harder, in which case, when the vehicle does accelerate it will spin the tires, making forward progress even more frustration and dangerous. This happens with both drivers in the family, it is not isolated to just once person's style of driving. This becomes a safety issue if you expect to merge into traffic and the vehicle does not respond. we have adjusted our driving habits in this car to assume it will not accelerate when from a full stop. We have not had a shop verify the condition. No warning lights or messages appear. The car is NOT in ECO mode. Doing a google search for the condition, it does not appear to isolated event.

the right sliding door has had intermittent malfunction for years. often, the door will not work with an automatic function and must be pulled open or closed manually which is nearly impossible to accomplish. most often the right sliding door malfunction notification appears when driving at highway speeds which is extremely unsafe. this has been inspected by the dealership and no fix or resolution was provided. recently, all of the ADAS systems are intermittently malfunctioning. they work about 1 out of every 5 times the vehicle turns on LKAS, Auto Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, are all affected. within the last week the internal camera system has been failing, audio stops working, and most importantly the rear hatch has been closing on its own while i am standing underneath it loading the trunk. this is also very unsafe, it atleast beeps to warn that it is closing but i sometimes barely have time to get out of the way. yesterday while driving in the highway, two warnings appeared simultaneously for “transmission system problem” and “blind spot notification system error”. the vehicle started again without the transmission system or blind spot error but i am very concerned about the degrading electrical system issues that i have been experiencing with this family oriented vehicle model.

This complaint is related to the recall issued for the fuel pump repairs. The car hesitates when starting from a stop. The hesitation is alarming enough during left turns to avoid on-coming traffic. The dealer and Ameican Honda has been made aware of this. However, the local dealer is refusing to prioritize the repair. The local dealer (Economy Honda of Chattanooga) states that they will prioritize the repairs only when the car comes to complete stop. With this kind of policy of the local dealer, I do not know when the repairs will be done. The car is used to transport four children and the family. Please help getting the repairs done as soon as possible. The safety of children and the family is at stake. This occurs all the time when the car is used. This car had two issues: 1) Fuel pump recall 2) Fuel injector warrantee repairs. Attached is a letter to the dealer about both problems. The dealer has addressed the fuel injector warrantee repair issue. However, they are totally refusing to prioitize the fuel pump repairs unless the car comes to complete stop. The dealer has been made aware of the issue in a letter dated June 20, 2024 written by my father Also, a case has been registered with American Honda in this matter. American Honda is refusing to do anything until the dealer prioritizes the reapairs. Neither American Honda or the dealer are priritizing the repairs and expects us to drive the car under current unsafe condition. Please help.

Dear NHTSA Team, My Honda Odyssey 2018 EX has been having issues with my Driver side Sliding door opening/closing using the Auto power. It was randomly sometimes not fully closing (kept reopening). Then it would get fixed automatically . This was happening for 3+ years . I had got the open recalls done over the years. This week it just stopped opening suddenly . And it was not getting resolved either manually or even after turning ON/OFF car . I took it to Honda Dealership in Dublin, California . They said error code B2049 the left slide door motor and door cable , latch were all faulty. And it would cost about 2500$. This was very expensive and I asked them to just put the door back and they charged the labor cost of 730$. When i look up online I see in forums multiple customers having such issues in this 2018 to 2020 odyssey model. My car hasn't been in any accident and my door is in great condition visually, so it has to be some faulty mechanism with the door as I am first owner and have taken great care of the car. I have records of oil changes, tire changes and other maintenance over the 6 years of ownership. Request NHTSA team to help look into this as it may be some rework during the different recalls to fix the sliding door or a manufacturing issue still not fixed. This can be dangerous as customer needs a functioning door to enter/exit out of Van. Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Initial issue was that the power tailgate would not open at all. Took the vehicle to the dealership where they replaced the latch and the control unit that was completely fried. When I asked what could cause that, they said they didn't know. I already suspected water. Two days after picking the vehicle up from the dealership, the tailgate is now constantly opening and closing on its own. The only way to stop it is to turn off the vehicle and lock it. I searched online and found multiple posts from people with the exact same problem and almost all of them say it was water getting into the control unit. This poses an obvious safety concern since it could close on one of my kids. They would not be strong enough to stop it. I have reported the issue to Honda HQ and have recommended that the other people with the issue do the same.

At critical accelerating situations (turning, merging, passing...) the minivan will hesitate, and no power is delivered to the wheels. As a result, the car does not perform as intended and can cause an accident when turning, merging, or attempting to pass. The only resolution is to remove any pressure from the accelerator and allow the car 1-2 seconds to recover, then you can usually accelerate slowly. Sometimes this has happened multiple times in the same accelerating event. This happens on 2018-2019 Honda Odysseys with 3.5l V6 with ZF 9HP transmissions. This has happened multiple times and Honda has failed to correct this issue. This is a known issue and has been part of a class action lawsuit. The most recent incident occured yesterday and the vehicle automatically shifted into Neutral and would no long drive.

2018 Honda Odyssey failed transmission systems. This vehicle had recalls in regard to TCM module and softwares in past. Normally transmission system should last well over 150,000 miles for this type of vehicle. My car failed at 74000 miles. That too without any advanced warning. Vehicle was maintained and serviced at same dealership regularly where it was purchased. Honda is claiming its outside their 60000 mile powertrain warranty. Honda expects me to pay over 10,000 dollars for repair. I believe my vehicle is having issues with transmission related to TCM module recall of 2019 and Recall 04v176 of 2023. Honda is refusing to look in to possibility of my vehicle's issue could possibly related to those recalls. I believe those recalls need to be looked at and my vehicle should have been involved in those recalls. I have documented proof for all services performed and current vehicle inspection report.

Current recall on vehicle. Been on the waitlist since end of December 2023. Contacted local dealership multiple times and they are unable to get part in. The vehicle has been showing engine light more often. Struggles to start occasionally.

My 2018 Honda Odyssey doesn't have any current vehicle recalls but it's is experiencing the engine stall while driving, the power sliding floors not locking properly and the power trunk making a grinding noise when it opens and closes. I had the vehicle inspected at the local Honda dealership and they told me there was nothing they could do about the vehicle stalling, the power doors not closing and the trunk grinding. From releasing the brake and pressing the gas, the vehicle will stall and then spin the tires as if I'm racing or burning rubber.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle independently decelerated. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the contact became aware of a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced or repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed of an unknown recall with a similar failure; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

Windshield monocular camera seems to be failing. No way to stop the warnings from popping up everytime I crank my car, can’t even use cruise control. I paid extra for these features and it seems to be a safety issue.

While driving, the transmission will go into limp mode and will not drive over 40 mph. Comes on and off intermittently. Will not show error code. Was almost rear ended by semi trailer when happened

Vehicle stalls when pulling out into traffic! Terrifying with my 6 kids and I'm immediately getting rid of this vehicle. Tried to have the fuel pump (current recall) replaced but Honda dealership has the vehicle for 6 DAYS! and still didn't have the part in. Upon dropping the vehicle off the tailgate lift would not work properly. This van is a load of garbage since they started using so many modules to control it! Extremely disappointed in Honda. They know all of these faulty parts and don't care enough to fix them for the safety of the consumer. Absolutely horrifying the direction of the automobile industry.

Tailgate malfunction due to water seeping through tailgate resulting in tailgate module to stop working.

Started up the van and the following appears on the dash: ACC problem Collision Mitigation Problem Automatic speed control problem Lake Keep Assist Problem Auto High Beam Problem No prior issues.

1.5 weeks after servicing vehicle at the dealership (oil change and tire rotation) Warning lights come on beeping upon starting vehicle. The following systems are malfunctioning... -collision mitigation syatem problem -adaptive cruise Control problem -lane keep assistance problem -road departure mitigation system problem -auto high beam problem. This also removes any ability to use regular cruise control in any capacity (even without adaptive cruise control on) Honda certified mechanic diagnosed code : U3000-49 as a bad Multipurpose Camera Unit. Parts alone cost $1,200 then labor and cost to calibrate (which must be done at dealer). The cost of this repair to MAJOR safety features would be over $2,000. This is a safety related issue that should be recalled immediately. We do not currently feel safe in our 2018 Honda Odyssey, nor do we have $2,000 to complete this repair. Our research (a few screenshots attached) of this malfunction of the Multipurpose Camera Unit shows widespread issues on 2018 odysseys in particular. To me that warrants an investigation and recall. A dealer actually told me "you don't need those features to drive the vehicle". Well, we don't NEED a backup camera and it was recalled. Why? Because we don't want to run over small children. I would like to be able use ALL safety featured on my vehicle. This isn't an entertainment system. It is the major safety feature on our family vehicle, which we saved for years to purchase. We ask that Honda consider the safety ramifications of NOT recalling this malfunctioning camera unit and do the right thing in issuing a recall.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the vehicle stalled, and the brakes seized inadvertently. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred on another occasion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure could not be replicated. Additionally, the contact stated that the Lane Departure and other Forward Collision Avoidance warning lights were illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while making a turn from a complete stop, the vehicle responded, but suddenly stalled. The contact continuously depressed the accelerator pedal until the vehicle responded. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated to respond as needed. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact related the failure to the recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for recall repair; however, the dealer informed the contact that a diagnostic test was needed prior to the recall repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provide no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

My vehicle started to show warning: Collision MitigationSystem Problem/ Road Departure Mitigation System Problem/ Adaptive Cruise Control Problem / Lane Keeping Assist Problem/ Auto High-Beam Problem. I took it back to Honda dealership and was told the Multipurpose Camera is damaged and needed to be changed. They asked if I have a vehicle accident and I told them I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ONE. I don’t understand why this just starts up all of a sudden and have seen other people complaining of this same problem.

Knocking noise began so I took it to a Honda dealership. They said I have a “lower knock noise” and need a new engine because a bearing went out for a rod which could cause my engine to seize. Though there is a recall for some 2018 odysseys, I’m being told mine isn’t covered. Apparently there are many more people with the same vehicle and the same issue as me. I’d like to see this included in the recall

The lane keep assist function via the monocam behind the windshield has failed causing an alert to show up a few minutes into driving that none of the systems related to it are functional. This appears to be a widespread problem amongst owners of the 2018 Odyssey. Additionally, Honda service centers are acting like this is a surprise to them but searching online will results many individuals with the same issue and then being charged 1300-2000 to fix it. Since the features are all safety related I assumed this was where I should submit this. Please let me know if this is not the case. See the honday odyssey forums for many people noting this problem... [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When driving the engine starting making a loud metallic noise. The engine also was not operating as it should have been. This occurred in early March 2023. I was able to slowly drive it to the Honda dealership in Glenwood Springs and when I stopped the engine stopped, I was unable to restart it. After several weeks, the Honda dealership stated it needed a new Engine. Initially I was quoted around 12k, then they offered a good will discount and we got the replacement to be around 6k. In late 2023, I saw that there was a recall on 2018 Honda Odysseys for an engine defect that could cause the engine to "run improperly or stall while driving." This is essentially what happened to me, but my vehicle is not on the recall list limiting Honda's requirement to fully cover the cost of replacing the engine.

Soft or Low Brake Pedal The brake pedal have a soft feeling and travel to the floor with low effort. This is causing low braking performance and increased pedal stroke. This condition is increasing the risk of a crash.

was driving in a rainstorm, a storm drain cap was pushed up and popped rear passenger tire. set off ALL passenger side airbags. I have a police report, numerous photos and videos.

During my recent recall repair by Ed Morse Honda in Riviera Beach, FL, I was advised that the rear tailgate sensor was reported as "wet". I do the maintenance myself, so I passed on a repair at that time by the dealer. Today, I researched what might have failed both online and with my Alldatadiy subscription, and accessed the part. Indeed, the Liftgate Control Module was molded and need of repair/ replace. However, I have grandchildren now, and during the removal - realized that in a water accident or other hazard where power is lost, there is NO WAY for rear passengers to exit the van by the rear tailgate. There is NO readily accessible latch or pull to open the tailgate from the inside, and NO key nor latch available from the outside for outside assistance. Additionally, if a child is in need of exiting the rear tailgate, there is NO child safety pull to allow them to exit. During my research on how to repair the vehicle, I saw that this is an ongoing issue for this model of Honda. I like my 2018 Honda Odyssey very much, it is my second Odyssey (the first was totaled in a T-bone accident, where both wife and daughter walked away), but I believe a recall is needed for the water issue affecting the Tailgate Control Board for the short term, and safety mechanisms added for the long term. Note: I have images, but the web site is NOT allowing uploads of any .jpg nor .pdf's at this time.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front passenger’s and rear passenger’s side air bags deployed without a crash or an impact. The contact stated that the front passenger’s seat and rear passenger’s seat were damaged due to the air bags deploying. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

2018 Honda Odyssey front camera failures. We bought it brand new and found out today that front multipurpose camera was not working properly. There are bunches of warning lights popped up on dashboard: LCC, LKAS… problems. I went to Google and Facebook to see there were so many people have the same problem particularly with this 2018 models. Dealership wanted $1800 to replace camera and they know that was Honda technical issues, not in customers control.

The forward camera malfunctions and causes the Cruise Control, Lane Assist, and Emergency Breaking to be inoperative. After looking online, this is a frequent issue for this van. I believe it is related to the recent recall because it was functioning perfectly until right after we had the recall repaired.

collision mitigation system activates when over 45 mph and there is a car next to you at about a 2 o clock angle from the van. Also activates if collision mitigation system is disabled and you are using the cruise function. Front camera is clear and it's a big safety problem than can easily end in a rear end accident

There are mutiple errors shown and the features disabled. Looks like the front camera is defective and is being reported by many people

I don't yet know the exact cause of the problem, but while at highway speed (approx. 72 mph), my wife pressed the gas pedal to accelerate, and it didn't work. She continued to press the pedal, and after several seconds, the vehicle did accelerate. I see this issue on severe threads and will be contacting the dealer or my mechanic as we are very concerned about this safety issue, the vehicle not accelerating when the gas pedal is pressed.

The Control Module for the Power Tailgate experienced total failure due to water damage, documented by the servicing dealership (attached service invoice) and demonstrated by the attached photos. The point of water intrusion could not be determined definitively, but cracks in the bonding location between the roof, rear driver's side exterior D-pillar panel, and tailgate surround are the likely culprit (photos attached). Failure of the Module resulted in an unusable tailgate, except for a single manual lever on the inside of the vehicle, accessible behind a piece of plastic. It also resulted in a ceaseless, loud, constant beeping on both the inside and outside of the vehicle when traveling at over 1 mph. This vehicle has never experienced an accident.

Water intrusion is causing failure of my liftgate module. The maintenance shop has identified this as the issue. After doing some research, this appears to no be a one time situation as i have read of several other owners experiencing the same issue. Lift gate is not opening and potential of liftgate opening uncommand due to module failure.

On the week of May 3rd my car began to shift into different gears with no notice or reason while driving, when it would do this it would show a warning signal on the dash that stated"transmission issue!" And the gear letter would flash on the dash. I brought the car in to the dealership it was purchased from (Ira Honda Saco, ME) as the car was shifting into reverse and park while driving causing significant safety issues for myself and my children in the car. When I arrived I was told there was issue with loaners although the service employee was great in helping me find one eventually that day as I'm a solo parent with multiple children. However, when I brought the car I said there was a recall on the transmission for this exact issue. I was told my make model and year matched but not the VIN so it couldn't be the transmission recall/issue. Then I was told the issue was the fuel injectors but that they were not covered by any warranty so I'd need to pay out of pocket. Then I was told it was partially covered and I ended up paying out of pocket for the remainder and was told the car was all set no more issues, it's fixed, completely safe to drive. Now barely 4 weeks later on 6/1024 while driving on the highway the car slams into park with the same exact warning flashing on the dash. The car behind me nearly rear ended me and my seatbelt engaged as I was going 65mph and came to a complete halt, causing bruising to my chest and collar bone. I immediately brought it back to the dealership and they suddenly say it's the transmission (like I said last month) but that it's not under warranty and is $6300 to repair that Honda can't guarantee they can cover with a claim and they also don't have a loaner or any vehicle I can use to safely transport myself or my children. Yet the only reason I am at the dealership with a car that has now twice nearly caused severe injury events or death is due to the dealership's misdiagnosis of the issue and the guarantee the car was fixed

I was driving home and suddenly the lights with these warning signs just came on. LKAS, ACC, Collision Avoidance, Auto High Beam Problem Ive heard from many customers complaining of this of 2018-2020 honda odyssey models

I have been experiencing engine hesitation issues with our Honda Odyssey for the last several months. We received a Safety recall notice in the mail and have tried to address the issue with 2 different dealers. The 1st dealer told me that the safety issue "should not cause any symptoms and we can't get the part for you." The second dealer told me to bring the car in for an appointment and they would address the issue and order the fuel pump for replacement. Several things happened during these visits to both Martin and Union Honda. Martin Honda would not address the safety recall. We were also having a "knocking" sound which they diagnosed as an issue with the right passenger strut. They told me that it needed to be replaced. Out of frustration with their customer service I decided to seek advice from our personal mechanic of 25 years. I have ordered struts for both the driver and passenger side which will be installed by our mechanic per their advice. Martin Honda never mentioned the driver's side strut. Union Honda said that they were going to charge me to "diagnose" whether or not the engine hesitation was coming from the fuel pump. They said it would take 2 days to diagnose. Within 2 hours I received a text stating that inspection of our car received the "green light." Everything passed and they did not notice the engine hesitation "while driving the vehicle." How is it possible that they didn't notice the "Failed - Critical Concern" of the Right Front Strut and Top Hat/Bearings while inspecting the car that was detected by Martin Honda? When questioned the manager stated "well, he wasn't looking for that. We were focusing on the engine hesitation." Why was it marked as "passed" when just a week prior it was marked "failed." They had no answer. I was told that the safety recall was not an issue with our vehicle and nothing can be done. However, I am still having engine hesitation. Doesn't the part have to be replaced regardless?!

Power tailgate issue continues to happen. The module is somehow getting water damage and shorting out. This is the second time in a year that I have to replace the module. I can’t even manually open my trunk without having to climb through the car and undo the latch from the inside

- Monocular Camera failure. It is available for inspection upon request. - Multiple Dash warning lights are on and several safety features, including forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking fail to work. Dealer states that the monocular camera cannot be disabled because it is a safety feature. - The problem has been confirmed by a dealer. The dealer stated the problem was not caused by consumer usage or accident, but was an internal failure of the monocular camera. - No additional inspections have been performed. -There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, which first appeared in April 2024 at ~104,000 miles on the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle started shuddering. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.

At around 25 miles per hour the vehicle has a transmission issue where the vehicle seems to hesitate, then downshift causing the vehicle to lurch forward. This happens regularly and started sometime before I acquired the vehicle with 48k miles. Honda dealer had no fix to the problem.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted and informed the contact that a diagnostic test was needed before the recall repair was performed. The contact declined to pay a fee for a diagnostic test because the recall notification received stated that the dealer should be contacted for recall repair if an engine hesitation had been experienced while driving. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that he needed to pay a diagnostic test fee prior to the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Occasionally, when the driver presses the accelerator, the car hesitates for about 1-3 seconds before accelerating. This most commonly happens when starting up from a stop sign or red light and after letting off the accelerator to slow down temporarily and then pressing the accelerator to speed up. This has been happening for at least a year or two. I recently received a safety recall notice from Honda saying that if I were experiencing this symptom, I needed to contact a dealer to have it repaired for free (with "FREE" in bold, red, and underlined letters). However, when I called a dealer and later called Honda Customer Service, they both told me that I would need to pay a $170 fee to run a diagnostic check. Then, if the diagnostic check showed that my car was experiencing an issue related to the recall, I would be reimbursed the $170 fee. However, if the diagnostic check did not show that my car was experiencing the issue, I would not be reimbursed. Requiring me to risk $170 to run the diagnostic check is not repairing my vehicle for free - especially when I am experiencing symptoms described in the recall notice. I believe Honda and the dealer should be required to honor what they wrote in their letter and both run the diagnostic check and complete the repair at no charge to me.

On April 13th, 2024 our son was driving the family 2018 Honda Odyssey (Approx 83,000 miles) in a nearby city. He was driving at 43 mph when the vehicle shifted from drive to neutral without his shifting it. He tried to brake using the brake pedal but was unable to stop or slow the vehicle. He also tried to accelerate and was unable to accelerate the vehicle. All the lights on the dashboard lit up and he was forced to use the emergency brake to stop the minivan. A good samaritan stopped and assuming that the battery was the problem, tried to help jump-start the vehicle -- but they were unable to start the car. Our son called us, and I drove 20 or so miles to his location. After trying a jump box in the vehicle, we called AAA. After trying a jump start and a new battery, At this point the technician said that the vehicle would need to be towed. The transmission of the minivan appeared to be locked and the towing company was not able to find a means to unlock the transmission. As a result, the front tires were placed on skids, which allowed the minivan to be drawn up onto the bed of the tow vehicle and towed the vehicle 20 miles to the local dealer, which had originally sold us the vehicle and had completed all recent maintenance. On Monday, the Honda service technician assessed it. We were advised that the 2018 Odyssey would require a new engine. After involving American Honda, we learned that the transmission was also affected, and the car would need to have $28,000 of repairs. After a month of discussions with American Honda, they closed our case without a teardown to identify root cause of the event. Our son could easily have been killed by being in a vehicle that could not be controlled while it was moving down the street. He used the only means available to him to stop the vehicle – the emergency parking brake. American Honda has told us that we must pay the $1600 to tear the engine apart to learn the cause. We have more history than can fit here.

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) We have not taken it into Honda yet as it's out of warranty and the fix is replacing/reaiming the Carmera that is located near the rear view mirror. The car has been scanned with a scan tool and it comes up with errors regarding the front camera MCU. Upon inspection the front camera is extremely hot to the touch. The errors sometimes stay on for weeks & may go off for a minute or two then come right back. Without this functioning properly the above car features (which can be safety releated) do not work & does effect the safetly of passengers in the car. It is available for inspection as it's very easy to get to.

Since 2020, we have noticed that the 2018 Honda Odyssey we own will not accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed. There is a noticeable delay between 1 to 3 seconds for the vehicle to accelerate. Once the vehicle accelerates, it does so at an increased rate of speed that is dangerous and scary. This has led to 100+ near miss collisions with pedestrians and other oncoming vehicles at 4-way lighted intersections, highway on-ramps and other driving scenarios. This has caused me and my family traumatic stress (injury) as we've had so many close calls due to Honda's manufacturing failures and failures to address this problem. We have to drive extra cautiously and under stress in anticipation of the acceleration delay. We took to the dealership several times and they said there appears to be no issue even though I'm certain they didn't do thorough test drive to inspect problem. We will seek legal remedies if NHTSA and Honda will not address this defect that is being reported by hundreds of other 2018-19 Honda Odyssey owners.

I'm constantly having issues with my right sliding door on my 2018 Honda Odyssey, opening after it's been closed and I'm constantly getting beeping alerts on my dash saying problems with right sliding door while I'm driving. It's been happening for a while now. Fortunately, the door hasn't opened while I'm driving on the road yet, although it did occur once while I was backing out of my driveway. I notified the dealer before which they told me there was no recall on the door and they would have to charge me money to try to replicate the problem and if they found nothing wrong, I would be out of that money. There was a recall on the doors back in 2018, NHTSA campaign number: 18V795 but I didn't receive a recall notice. The alert on the dash happens almost daily at random times.

I called Honda services when I received the recall letter from the mail and they kept on telling me that the parts has not come in yet, so call back later. So, I did do that I called back around 2-3 times and they kept on telling me the same thing that the parts have not come in yet and call back later and would not let me make an appointment. I called them the month of March and April and they still would not let me make an appointment.

One day i turned on vehicle and all the warning lights turned on, the lkas system. Automatic emergency breaking, lane departure warning. Cruise control, brake system. More lights that i cant remember. I took it to the honda dealership and they found that it was an internal front multi purpose camera failure that caused all these features to not work which i was told is a safety issue because the seat belts may not engage or other safety features. I have heard of this front multi purpose camera failure multiple times for the odyssey. There were no warning before failure. I do have the failed component in my posession. It has now been replaced and the issue resolved

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that upon start of the vehicle, the Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Collision Mitigation System, Road Departure Mitigation system, and Auto High Beam system warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that multiple failures occurred soon after the windshield was replaced by an independent mechanic. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the front camera needed to be recalibrated to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic where the front camera was recalibrated five times; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Emission system error messages popping up and disappearing until the fuel injector completely malfunctions and check engine light flashes along with several other safety lights. Car’s engine will be destroyed with further use or possible spontaneous stall while driving. This VIN is not included in current Honda fuel injector recall but clearly should be. Honda Please help get the recall extended to include other 2018-2020 Honda vehicles whose VIN isn’t included but still is dangerous to drive due to failing fuel injector.

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 excessive amount of time. Likely only a second, but feels much longer when you're trying to make a left 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. Our Odyssey has done this for several years. Its 100% a transmission software problem occuring when the car starts rolling from a stop and is "between" 1st and 2nd gear in an almost "neutral" state to prevent engine braking when throttle is not being applied, which would make for a not so smooth driving experience. However, this transmission obviously has really poor response times moving between these "in gear" and "neutral" states, and thus, we get the hesitation everyone has described when throttle is reapplied. The 1st gear in this transmission is EXTREMELY short. Fun fact, if you switch from automatic to standard shift mode(S) and use the shift paddles to force it to start in either 1st or 2nd gear, it's literally impossible to replicate the hesitation issue whether you're in ECON mode or not. By putting it standard shift mode, you take the TCU programming that was implemented to make the overall operation of the transmission feel more smooth, completely out of the equation so that you're fully in a particular gear, no matter what your throttle position is. The 9-speed transmission in these vehicles was KNOWN to shift extremely rough between gears; this is dangerous. From Honda - "If we can't find an error code, the problem doesn't exist and hence, we can't fix it." Pls review, hopefully this will make Honda address it

When I drive the van just stops working. So I have pulled out into the street to cross traffic and on many occasions the car just won't drive like the transmission isn't in gear. It will eventually get into gear and go again but I have almost been hit before. I think my car should've been included in the transmission recall.

There is water leaking through the seams of my Van from where it wasn't welded and sealed properly, My tailgate opened on the highway today while I had my 7 kids in the vehicle while it was pouring down rain. I could not get my tailgate to stay closed and keep getting a power tailgate problem on my dashboard. My tailgate will no longer stay latched it automatically opens on its own and refuses to stay shut. I looked at the control module and it was completely soaked in water and can see the water leaking from the top of my vehicle in between the exterior frame and the interior frame. There are holes in the welding. They're quoting me almost $1000 to fix the mistake they made while manufacturing the vehicle. I currently have a bungie chord keeping my tailgate shut but it continously beeps from where it's trying to open automatically. Definitely the scariest day of my life today. This needs to be dealt with ASAP. Today could have been much worse than it was. Honda needs to be held accountable before someone dies over this. There is no reason why my tailgate should have automatically opened on the highway doing 65mph with my 7 children in the car.

when stopped in traffic or a light, the engine idle engages. on several occassions (5-6) the stop is too short but the Auto Engine idle is engaged and rather than restart the engine, it turns the engine off. THe car will not restart or turn off unless i open the driver door then hit the on/off button and let the whole car completely shut down before turning it back on. It can take almost full minute or more to go through the process. The danger to myself and those in my car, when we are stopped on the highway, busy road and traffic begins to move again, and i have to open my driver door to get the car to turn back on. I have informed the Honda Dealership (Pohanka Fredericksburg) about the incidents almost every time they have occurred to have them look at the vehicle, but informed they cannot reproduce the problem. I have had video of the incident occurring.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic signal, the signal changed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle hesitated before responding. The contact stated that the engine almost stalled while driving at various speeds. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle also lurched forward while responding. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent.

Car stalls out and completely shuts off when auto start/stop is engaged. In the 2018 model there is no way to turn off auto start/stop. The car has been unable to turn on for 3 minutes causing major safety and traffic issues. On average it takes 10-20 seconds to manually restart the vehicle with the engine start/stop button. We have taken the vehicle back to the Honda dealership multiple (3-4) times with no resolution and in they can’t find the problem, but has happened to them during test drive. They did a system update hoping it will solve the problem, but it hasn’t. I’m going to have to take it back to Honda again. Please issue a recall, this has been a known problem/issue and is on Reddit. The issue first started about a year and a half ago with the most recent occurrence being today, April 17th 2024. The vehicle has failed to turn back on after the auto start/stop engaged over 20 times.

power tailgate control module fail due to water a leak in rear driver side area.

Water leaks into tailgate control module causing tailgate not to work. Replaced module, problem came back after 3 weeks. This is a common issue for the current generation Odyssey.

It is available for inspection on request. Lost blindspot info, lost use of turn indicators, rear door hatch malfunction, several warnings flash up while driving. I was in a busy area and didn't have a way to signal my movements, screen flashing warnings was terrifying, the van felt like it might turn off at any moment. Before the most recent incident, we had brought the van to Honda dealer for repair, for similar issues that occured at start-up, they found water in the power control unit in rear left area of van that caused corrosion and short-circuit. No body damage or alterations to vehicle. Replaced unit and after rainy weather problems recurred at start up and power down, then while driving, they tested the battery and it was almost dead (the battery was only 1 month old) replaced battery. Problems recurred and water found again. significant leak suspected but not found yet as the service department won't evaluate the seals, and told us it's a body-shop task. summary: intermittent left-side passenger door and rear hatch door malfunction, blind spot system warnings/loss, loss of turn indication, brake system warnings, other system warnings, difficulty starting the car and turning the car off, brand new battery drained while the car was parked and turned off. This manufacturing defect should be addressed by Honda, seals should not fail when exposed to regular conditions. Water should not enter the vehicle and short out an important component leading to several malfunctions that could cause loss of important systems and rear-door latch while driving.

I started the vehicle and it displayed a message on the infotainment system screen that the system had lost power. I believed that this would only affect the radio functionality which I was not concerned about immediately. I placed the vehicle in reverse and I accidentally backed up into a parked car. At no point before the accident did I realize the rear camera did not work and the collision assistance sensors did not function. I believe if the collision avoidance system was working correctly my accident would have been prevented. I have come to depend on the safety features of this vehicle. I know that this is not an issue with my car battery as I recently had a Honda dealer install a new battery prior to this accident and the vehicle started normally.

* An engine failure occurred due a connecting rod bearing seizure. The engine was replaced at Bryan Honda in Fayetteville NC. Unless the dealer is required to save the parts I don't have them for inspection. * The engine failure occurred on the travel portion of [XXX] stalling the vehicle on the highway. Luckily we were able to move the vehicle off the traveled portion of the highway but it was not safe to be slightly of the road until a tow arrived. * The problem with this type engine is known and subject to recall number [XXX] although Honda says my specific VIN isn't covered when I submitted a claim, possible the recall could be expanded. *The engine and components were inspected at the Honda dealer. *The check engine light started flashing just as the engine lost power.

Water getting into rear liftgate control module. Had to replace seal and module.

The forward warning system will say brake without anyone or anything in front of you. It will then slam on the brakes. This is very dangerous and has almost resulted in multiple collisions. We have took it to the dealership numerous times and it has not been fixed. I have called American Honda and they will not fix the issue. I get the run around that it is outside of warranty. It was took to them under warranty but was never fixed. The local Honda dealer wants to just try swapping out cameras at a price of $2,500. They do not know if it will even fix it. Now the system has numerous warning lights related to the adaptive cruise, lane keep assistance, forward warning system and lane departure warning. Again I have called America Honda and local dealership. They do not know how to fix it. This is a major safety hazard and they should be forced to repair it under a recall.

At 60 mph, the fuel injectors failed on cylinder 1/2/3 (known issue based on TSB [XXX]). The vehicle produced various error codes but did not go into limp mode. We proceeded to the nearest exit on the highway to safely pull off. The engine shortly after turned on limp mode as we neared the exit. We heard an audible ping noise and the engine power changed (could still keep the vehicle moving but shaking in the steering wheel). We were on a straight path of road so the steering wheel shaking was manageable. We had the vehicle towed to nearest Honda Dealership and they completed the TSB putting in new injectors. The fault codes cleared on cylinder 1 & 2 but not 3. They performed compression test and assessed dead cylinder requiring new engine replacement. Technician also noted that #3 injector had locked open and spark plug was soaked with fuel from flooding the engine cylinder. I escalated to Honda Corporate (case # [XXX]) and they looked into the matter believing it wasn't that severe. After 1 month, they closed the claim at the regional manager level, with no earnest money, and said we were on our own for an engine with 74k miles since it was out of 60k warranty. I towed the car to my private certified mechanic (who had done all the oil changes since purchase at 34k miles). He checked with borescope and cylinder wasn't moving while crank turning. He has diagnosed broken piston rod and looking for used engine to try and replace. Honda Asheboro quoted $6,400 for repair. We believe that #3 cylinder hydro-locked when ECU turned off injector and spark plug but couldn't closed the injector properly (known debris in fuel system) causing the piston rod to break and luckily not drop the piston into the crankcase. Car is sitting idle waiting for repair or further review. Will be taking Honda Corporate to small claims court in Stanly County, NC. Other known issues for this model/year is fuel pump and piston bearings (both also TSB's and not recalls). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Power Tailgate is not functioning and the trunk opens on its own. Yes, available for inspection. The trunk opening on its own puts the safety of everyone in the car at risk. I had the same issue 9 months ago, the dealer charged me $1200 to fix it. The dealer inspected it and stated it was due to a water leak that damaged the control module for the Power Tailgate. Nothing prior, a "Power Tailgate Problem" warning appeared on the dashboard, and the Power Tailgate stopped working.

My van has been stalling out constantly and not allowing me to power/move the car forward on several occasions. Most recently, my car has stalled out in two intersections, causing other cars to swerve/slam on the breaks and almost hit my car with my three young children in the car. I especially have trouble getting up any sort of hill. It is also a big problem when I have to stop my car for any amount of time (i.e. stop signs, turning lanes, stop lights) and then try to power my car when it is my turn. The car almost always stalls and has almost caused several accidents.

Right Power door will not open or close with buttons or key fob. Must open/close manually. The doors are too hard to open manually for smaller children and even some adults making it a safety concern in case of emergency. This started intermittently a year ago and is now a constant. Tailgate has been opening and closing on its own, even when locked while parked as well as when the idle stop is activated while in drive. This is a concern that someone can get in the vehicle when unattended. It also shuts (and didn't stop) when someone was standing in the opening while removing something when it occurred. This started about a month ago. I was told to take it to a dealer and pay them to diagnose it. The dealers have a wait list and it's also not in my budget. These are real concerns and I feel Honda isn't taking ownership of the dangers.

Our 2018 Honda Odyssey has the defect described in this recall: [XXX] However, the VIN search says that it is not eligible.

After rain, the next day, I get error tailgate problem on my dashboard. I can no longer open it using my remote or from the front panel of my van. I saw many complaints of similar issue out there. This should have been a recall due to manufacture failure.

A water leak above the tailgate control module flooded it to the point that it operated erratically and would raise and lower the tailgate randomly or not work at all. I plan on replacing the module myself but will retain the old one. Anytime the entry or exit points on a vehicle open randomly cannot be a safe condition. The dealer charges $130 for any inspection or diagnostic so no I am not paying them to tell me something is broken. The vehicle currently is showing a "Power Tailgate Problem" and a yellow box with "TAILGATE" in it on the dash display and is currently unresponsive to any input that would operate it: remote, tailgate buttons, and driver button. The power locking system is still operable. The Odyessy forums clearly describe multiple occurrences of this failure and the culprit is a water leak in rear window or rear section of roof trim strip on the drivers side. My module did have water in it when I opened the plastic case it is contained in. Cleaning and drying it restored operation for about 3 days. Thanks for your help!

We are having the same issue as indicated on the Service Bulletin 20-100 but our VIN is not listed as covered by the manufacturer.

My van driving on the highway and pop up two error cods at the same time, one is transmission system problem and the other is blind spot info system problem. Check it out with code P0741. And this incident happened 7 times in the past 6 months.

Our Tailgate is having an issue that triggered a safety issue with my wife driving on a highway then 3 lights popped up and car entered a limp mode. transmission issue, emissions issue, tailgate issue since then car is behaving normally but the tailgate latch is opening when we start the van and not working from fob (unlock) or exterior tailgate button. I have read other owners having an issue where the tailgate control module is getting submerged by water causing the unit to short and cause these issues. A car entering limp mode on the highway poses a threat to our family and others, I hope to see a solution in the near future.

There is an electrical drain causing the battery to drain to the point where it will not start. Alternator was replaced, then the issue persisted. Most recent problem include the power tailgate opening on its own. Rear power tailgate issue. The rear tailgate will attempt to open while driving, but the warning sound chimes and alerts to the problem. If the vehicle is left unlocked the tailgate will open itself. The power tailgate button in the driver seat does not work. The close button on the bottom of the door is illuminated (has power) but will not close the door. The soft rubber button above the license plate will engage the motor to lift the tailgate, but not to close it. Others have filed complaints about a water leak impacting the rear control board and causing it to fail. Leak may be from the fin on the roof or related to the cracking and rotting seal on the bottom of the rear windshield.

Now after the check additional and different sensors are displayed with problems than were displayed prior to this check. The trouble shooting and after displaying the code 219A indicated a catastrophic failure. Rusty Wallace has verbalized the results and that I should continue driving the vehicle, that this would not damage the engine or the car. I am not a certified mechanic, but my younger days were devoted to back street work repairing and driving vehicles. Anytime that you starve or flood a cyclinder you had serious problems. I need this vehicle as a daily driver.

Hello, my name is [XXX] . I have a 2018 Honda Odyssey that I bought brand new 6 years ago from Open Road Honda in Edison, New Jersey. We received a notification of the tailgate malfunctioning out of the blue yesterday evening. It was raining the whole day yesterday. Upon checking the internet, we found this to be an issue faced by multiple Honda Odyssey owners and a dedicated thread discussing this in the Honda Odyssey Forum. Link to it is here: [XXX] After doing a little bit more research, we found a potential problem to be a malfunction due to water going into power tailgate module and this could be caused by some welding defects from Honda. We decided to remove the fusebox cover in the back left of the car (driver side) and found that there was water inside. We have sent the car to our mechanic to resolve the issue. Please see pictures and video attached for your review. This also has the VIN number for our car. But, since this seems to be a manufacturing defect and it is going to cost a lot to fix, we would appreciate Honda taking action on this. We would like to take this to a dealership for issue resolution with Honda facilitating and paying for the repairs since it is a manufacturing defect. Please advise us on next steps. Thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

All warning lights related to the Honda Sensing driver assist features come on and the assist features are inoperative. Vehicle still drives fine but even normal cruise control is no longer an option. Some warning notifications pop back up while driving even after dismissed which is rather distracting.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that on several occasions, while at a stop or rolling to a stop, the vehicle hesitated before accelerating and then abruptly accelerated. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and filed a complaint and referred the contact to the local dealer for a diagnostic test. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

Rear tail gate will not open even manually due to water getting inside of control module due to faulty design which causes water to go into the module and fry it would open and close randomly when it would rain now it has stopped working all together no indicator on dash anymore I guess this last rain finished it off terrible design very disappointing with Honda this is a major issue that needs to be fixed

Power tail gate doesnt work. Water got into the car and leaked onto the power tail gate control circuit causing it to no longer work.

Van started having a loud clicking sound and radio would not work. took it in for repair, they said they fixed it. Took it in again because it actually got worse and the screen was rebooting and showing a error. Now have an appointment to take it back in again tomorrow because the fix worked for like 3 days and now it has gotten even worse. Screen keeps shutting down completely and wont boot back on for a few minutes.

The transmission has been acting weird - not shifting appropriately and jerking when shifting for about 2500 miles previous to this. The car has had routine maintenance and all recall work completed at dealership. At 86000 the transmission needs to be replaced. In addition, when it would get really wet or go through a car wash the transmission wouldn't function properly and not go into reverse at all.

Rear tail gate hatch Anytime it rains the hatch will open and faults out which ultimately causing it to not close or open tailgate fault shows up on the dash and does not function anymore do to water collecting in electrical module that controls hatch due to faulty design

The 2018 Honda Odyssey with 59,000 miles downshifts on its own when we are driving. This has happened about half a dozen times. It is disconcerting because the vehicle slows down. No one has hit us from behind. The Odyssey was at the dealer for a transmission fluid change recently. A multipoint inspection was done with no mention of the transmission or any other problems. There have been no warning lamps, messages, etc. displayed on the instrument panel. There are no service bulletins or recalls at this time.

It was the gear shift, changing from drivre mode to neutral, or from drive mode to completely shut off while I was driving on the the freeway and had to slow down because the vehicles in front of me were slowing down too, because of traffic conditions, the car problem has been confirmed by the manufacturer, there's even a law suit in process here in California for this matter. The car is right now in the dealership for repair, there was no light on in the dashboard warning. This started like to weeks ago, first time just went from driving mode to neutral. Second time shut off and turn on again, third time yesterday, from driving mode changed to neutral and finally completely shut down. I feel unsafe for my wife driving this car and for the kids .

The transmission is unreliable. You push the gas and it hesitates to accelerate or switch to the next gear to speed up. It can shake or rattle the car. Has a trouble at low speeds or shifting to the next gear to increase speed. This makes it dangerous to try to pull out into an intersection because the transmission or gear shifting doesn't always hit and you can get hit or injured. I always have to leave additional space while pulling into an intersection or merging into traffic in case the transmission slips. I have brought this to the attention of my local Honda service station and was told "that is just how this transmission works".

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the messages "Emission System Problem", "Electrical Parking Problem", "Road Departure Mitigation System Problem", "Brake System Problem", "Brake hold System Problem", and "Power Steering System Problem" were displayed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that the battery was in good condition; however, the vehicle failed to start 3 days later. The contact was able to jumpstart the battery with the assistance of AAA. The contact replaced the battery. Additionally, the contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer and several unknown dealers were contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

The rear lift gate is not opening. The lift gate motor and latch have been replaced. The lift gate module seems to have water/moisture after a rain storm causing the gate to not open. Their is an error on the display saying there is a lift gate error and the car is beeping while driving.

My wife was driving our 2018 Honda Odyssey when there was acute diminished and very unstable engine power on 7/10/2023. She heard a "knocking" noise like metal-on-metal and pushing the accelerator resulted in very uneven increase in speed - in fact, it would not go above 30mph. She immediately took the van to our local car dealership, but it was very difficult to drive the 1-2 miles it took for her to get there. Her safety was put at risk because the engine did not provide reliable power to drive after that acute event and she easily could have been rear-ended or involved in an accident. We were both very thankful that our children were not in the van at the time. The check engine light immediately came on as well when this happened and when she got to the dealer, the service department identified a P0303 stored code suggesting a cylinder 3 misfire on the lower block. There were metal fragments in the oil and they noticed internal noise/knocking. They informed us that we would need to have a new engine installed. I spoke to our dealership today 2/13/24 and they felt like it was highly probable that a manufacturing defect related to the Honda service bulletin 23-097 for Connecting Rod Bearing problems could be the manufacturing defect and culprit for why our engine stopped working. This bulletin covers build dates of 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey vans from 4/9/2018 through 8/28/2018. Our build date was prior to October 2017 is what our dealer has told me. I do not believe that our defective engine would be available for inspection as I believe the dealership discarded it after installing a salvaged engine, also from a 2018 Odyssey. I do not believe any other agency inspected our defective engine after it was removed. The dealership also was unaware of the 23-097 service bulletin, since they were informed of that later in the year during November 2023. We took excellent care of this vehicle (bought new) and all service was performed on-schedule at dealership.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that on various occasions while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and was restarted. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled on approximately eight separate occasions. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the connecting rod was damaged, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 178,667.

The transmission is unreliable. You push the gas and it hesitates to accelerate or switch to the next gear to speed up. It can shake or rattle the car. Has a trouble at low speeds or shifting to the next gear to increase speed. This makes it dangerous to try to pull out into an intersection because the transmission or gear shifting doesn't always hit and you can get hit or injured. This transmission has been weird since the car was new.

ADAS system is not working due to internal camera failure.

A defective/leaking seal in the rear of the vehicle area caused water damage and corrosion on the tailgate control unit. As a result of the control unit failure the blinkers and lights stopped working while driving. In addition rear tailgate does not open. Dealer confirmed the issue, fixed the seal and replaced control unit. Research shows this is a recurring problem on this model vehicle.

10/4/2023 (55K miles), the vehicle suddenly lost power at interstate speed and dropped to three cylinders. Warning lights came on disabling all automatic safety systems. I took the vehicle to a parts store and OBD indicated an oil pressure sensor in VTEC Bank 1. After restarting the vehicle I once again had all 6 cylinders, but all safety systems failures were still indicated on the dash. I replaced the battery (5.5 years old) and all systems returned to normal. After a the PGM-FI update for idle stop issues (recall) was performed at the dealer on 1/31/2024, two days later (2/2/2024) the previous event recurred resulting in severe loss of power and all safety systems indicating failure. I replaced the 4 month old battery under warranty believing the battery had failed prematurely. The problem did not resolve after replacing the battery and multiple restarts. I returned the car to the dealer service center on 2/3/2024 running on three cylinders and then suddenly 6 again after a restart part way there. Dealer diagnosed issue as intermittent fault P2652 Rocker Arm Oil Pressure Switch B (Bank 1) and replaced it at my cost but did not charge diagnoses. Operation returned to normal. ***I have driven Honda vehicles for 25 years with very few issues. Something is seriously wrong in their ECU program/electrical system that causes vehicle to suddenly lose power and safety systems due to an intermittent oil pressure sensor fault. I am a Mechanical Engineer with more than 18 years working in mechanical and electrical aerospace systems. Honda needs to identify the root cause of this failure mode and issue yet another recall to address the systemic hardware and software issues. Both times this occurred, I had 4 young kids in the car and could not maintain safe interstate speed or accelerate to get on the highway.

The vehicle had low voltage indications and electrical issues that would affect many of the electrical systems in the car (power doors, main entertainment system, etc). More concerning, the vehicle would shift into park while driving and then would shut off. This posed a serious hazard when driving quickly. Honda was unable to remedy the issue and could not come up with a definitive cause. Another recall with these same problem was issued for other VIN numbers of the same make, model, and manufacturing year. My VIN was not included in that recall. The recall needs to be expanded to include more VINs as this is an issue in 2018 Honda Odyssey vans and poses a risk to me and my family while driving in its current state. My transmission is now experiencing issues due to shifting into park while driving and needs to be replaced.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Rod bearing failure lead to engine seizing How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? We started hearing the ticking in October, I visited the dealership and contacted Honda multiple times and either told to take no action or wait for the recall. Case #[XXX] We expressed our concern to both the dealership and Honda about not addressing the issue because we had a big trip for Christmas coming up. My mother-in-law has terminal cancer and the entire family was getting together for Christmas with her. To get there we drive 20 hours from Arkansas to Utah. We followed the advice of the dealership and Honda and waited. Unfortunately about 50 miles out of Amarillo the van started to make loud engine noise and stalled. While going 75 miles an hour down the interstate I lost power steering and my brakes were very unresponsive. Luckily, we were in the farthest right lane and I was able to get us safely to the shoulder. We feel blessed to have made it off the road, it was a very dangerous situation. Now my van with 70K mile has a seized engine and is stuck 12 hours away in Amarillo Texas. I am requesting that Honda reimburse my rental, ship my van back home to Bentonville, and send a new engine for the dealership to fix the now seized engine. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes the issue has been diagnosed by Brown Honda in Amarillo TX by Todd Burkham the Fixed Operations Director Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Only by Brown Honda in Amarillo TX Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Only the ticking sound that we took the vehicle in for starting in late October. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Dash displays error message "Power Tailgate Problem". Tailgate does not open AT ALL with either of the following methods- key fob, button on dash, or button on tailgate. It is stuck and poses a significant safety issue. What if we had a accident, all doors were stuck, and needed an exit out the back of the vehicle? The tailgate is totally inoperable and Honda needs to fix this issue as it is an extremely common issue and not very cheap to repair.

Engine developed a tapping noise. Took it to the dealer and they diagnosed bad bearings that would have seized the engine very soon. Looks like a manufacturing defect of the crankshaft.

see attached document

Warning messages for the following appeared: brake system lane keeping/assist system collision mitigation system problem road departure mitigation system problem auto-high beam problem adaptive cruise control problem None of these safety features now work. Our local dealership told us it was a failure of the multipurpose camera unit. The fix we are told is a $1400 part. The rear camera was just recalled by Honda and repaired within the last month. This failure should not have happened and greatly impacts the safety of the car and it is a common problem when searching Honda message boards.

2018 Honda Odyssey motorized tailgate has completely stopped working. Will not open. Numerous accounts say this is due to water getting into the rear tailgate control module and have had tremendous amount of rain this week. Have not had it looked at by dealer yet but must be fixed. Warning message appeared twice on dash 10 minutes before the failure.

Power tailgate problem. Middle both passenger side door did not latch. Power tailgate cannot open automatically. It happened recently, and happened every year as far as I remember, when raining season, or winter time. It just happened few days ago. Passenger side door did not latch. I was driving with baby in car seat, on freeway, when door latch did not lock properly. My wife had this incident as well, and called Honda dealer, and they may or may not repaired the latch, and we rarely have this incident anymore after my wife called Honda dealer, cause she freaked out door was open loosely while driving. But on left side, occasionally cannot open or closed, not as extreme as before we complained to dealer.

On the way home, the rear door controller was damaged and the rear door opened by itself. So I pull the car to the side of the high way and tried to close the rear but couldn't. I drove my car to my home with the rear door open. It was a crazy experience to me.

POWER LIFT GATE AND POWER SLIDING MINIVAN DOOR DO NOT WORK LEAK IN BODY CAUSED ELECTRICAL SHORT AND CORROSON OF LIFTGATE POWER CONTROL UNIT. BAD DESIGN SAFETY ISSUE. DANGER OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT. SHOULD BE RECALL AND HONDA SHOULD FIX

The power tailgate control module failed due to water leaking through holes in the seam. The power tailgate problem light came on when the issues began. I was unable to open the tailgate using the button by the driver's controls, the remote fob, or the exterior button on the tailgate. The only way to open the tailgate was the manual release on the interior tailgate. There was constant beeping while driving forward or in reverse. We removed the power tailgate control module, and there was obvious corrosion around the entire part. We applied seam sealer on the driver side roof rail and installed a new ptg control module. The new module began having similar issues approximately 2 weeks later. We removed it, and could see obvious corrosion beginning on one side of the ptg control module. We applied seam sealer above the rear tailgate window and attempted to clean the affected areas on the ptg control module in hopes that it will work again. The power function of the tailgate is not working, but the power tailgate problem light is not on and there is no beeping. I am now able to open the tailgate manually using the exterior button on the tailgate. Driver's control button, remote fob button, and button on the tailgate to close it do not work.

I have a 2018 Honda Odyssey Touring. On December 8th exactly one week after I had my van serviced at the local Honda Dealership I broke down on the interstate. My van started making strange noises and the check engine light started blinking. I lost all power and had to merge over to the emergency lane almost causing an accident. I contacted the service manager at the local Honda dealership. I explained to him what was going on, I also told him that I noticed a slight tapping sound the week prior and asked them to check it out when I brought it in for service on November 30th. I was told they didn't notice anything wrong and that the only thing I needed was front brake pads. Upon searching the internet I found there is currently a recall on some of the models for faulty connecting rod bearings. Preston Locklear the service manager was unaware of the recall, so I emailed him the recall service letter. He called me back to inform me that my van does not fall under the build dates approved for the recall. That afternoon the service writer called me to inform me that my engine is blown, when I asked him how they determined that his reply " we sent a tech out and he pulled the dipstick and seen metal". He then went on to say that if I want to determine the cause of the failure I would have to pay to get the oil pan dropped. When I asked ow much that would be they said they had to get back to me. They finally called me back December 22nd with a quote. I was told it would be about $600. I contacted Honda recall center and asked for help. I was assigned a case worker. He called me back December 29th saying there was no help they could offer. I had my van towed from Honda to an independent shop. They pulled the oil pan and found the #6 connecting rod bearing failed. I would like for Honda to help me with this matter. It is an obvious problem with this engine. They are o it recalling 250k but they need to recall all of them in those years.

Multiple error lights come on at various times, including but not limited to road departure mitigation warning, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start assist problems, brake hold system problem, power steering system problem. Upon first dealer inspection no problem was identified. On follow up after ongoing recurrence of the issue, dealer found multi purpose camera internal fault along with recalled fuel injector repair requirement. Estimated 2,000 to fix MP camera.

I am having the problem with the Honda fuel injector system causing warning lights to go off. This has been a problem for 3 months and I’ve been told that there is a major supply issue. The problem has gotten so bad that my car keeps going into limp mode bc the transmission warning light is forced on. This is a safety issue.

My odyssey is running rough and Not accelerating correctly. All lights on the dash come on including emissions and power steering and traction control. I recently spent close to $3,000 doing the timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, and valve adjustment. All maintenance is up to date.

The vehicle has multiple warning lights and a recall was issued for the MOST connectors upon the initial problem which fixed it temporarily and now it continues to have multiple problems. It shuts off while I'm driving and the steering wheel locks up. It's as if the car is possessed the system screams at you, goes black, turns the music off and on. I have had it at the Honda twice and am taking it again in the morning. I'm afraid to drive my children in it.

The camera on the Honda van seems to act up when either its hot outside or cold outside. Due to this, the car will show these codes, (LKAS, ACC, Collision Avoidance, Auto High Beam Problem). Due to the camera having these isues, the collision avoidance puts myself and family at risk.

All of the advanced driver assistance systems have failed: adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance. Additionally, there is a brake failure fault. The Honda dealership said that the plastic cover over the radar is prone to fogging and that we should clean it. We tried that and it did not work. Still get all of the faults and warnings.

My back windshield popped and shattered without anything hitting it. Driving on a smooth road at 45 mph and all of a sudden back windshield popped and shattered. Was driving with my wife and two kids. All went to a sudden sock. That was a very bad and scary experience along with the out-of-pocket expense to replace the windshield.

The battery in our van weakened and needed to be replaced. Upon replacement with brand new battery, a ton of new warnings began. These included problems with: Adaptive cruise control; lane assist; collision avoidance; auto high beam, and maybe another. Doing some research online, I found that many other Odyssey owners experienced similar issues associated with battery replacement. Local Honda dealer told me the MOST recall repair may take care of it. It did not. Was told the internal front multipurpose camera just happened to coincidentally go out at the same time as the battery. Honda wants $1500 to replace the camera. Honda USA declined to help. In the meantime, our vehicle has none of the safety features available; and regular cruise control is not an option if the camera is not replaced. I believe Honda knows this is an issue and should be help responsible for replacing defective cameras.

Power Tailgate failure, from water leaking into the vehicle. The power tailgate would open and close on its own, even when driving down the road. This is a SERIOUS safety issue if you have children in the vehicle. First sign of failure was a message of tailgate problem on the information center of the dash. That is when the intermittent opening and closing began, as well as battery going dead. Took to Honda to be serviced(Walker Honda in Alexandria, Louisiana). Was informed that water did indeed leak into the van from someplace, they did not know from where. Was told van needed a new battery as well as a module replacement for the power tailgate and a Water test to see where the water was leaking in. Total cost of around $1600 Was then informed that the entire wiring harness might also need to be replaced because water corroded or damaged the contacts on the harness that affect MANY other parts of the van, including some safety systems. That was an estimated cost of $7000 but was told the technician could possibly just clean off the wiring harness contacts and try to drive it that way and see if it fixes the problem. Van has little over 130,000 miles on it and Power Tailgate is rarely used as we have no children and don't haul much, except groceries.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she heard an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment, and the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the connecting rod bearings. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 100,000.

Car has acceleration issues when making left turns, merging onto freeway, or passing cars on freeway. Transmission and blind spot light went on and we took car to Honda dealer. They could not find anything wrong, no codes were stored and they were not able to duplicate the issue. Scanned vehicle and unable to trace root cause. Updated TCM software which helped for about a month but acceleration issues are now back again. This is a serious safety issue as the car hesitates to accelerate. We have kept up with all car maintenance.

There’s currently a recall on the 2018 2019 Honda odysseys. The recall is for the same as exact issue that I had with my 2018 Honda Odyssey there’s a problem with the connecting rod bearings recall campaign number 23V751000. I’m being told from Honda that my van does not fall into the production date range for the recall. I’m being told that any repairs I’m going to have to cover myself even though it’s the same issue that the other vehicles are having. I was on the interstate traveling about 70 miles an hour. My check engine light came on blinking I lost total power I had to get out of the left lane and make it all the way to the shoulder between traffic. I had my car towed to the Honda dealership that I’ve taken it to for every single service since I purchased the vehicle. I want to know why my vehicle is not gonna be covered under this so-called recall, if it’s having the same as exact issues as the other vehicles and the recall. And Honda is refusing any help

Around October 29th my vehicle developed a faint to loud noise within 24 hours. There was no engine light, no leaking of fluids and no other warning. As we drove the vehicle to a repair shop I could tell there was some hesitation or lack of normal power. The shop we took my vehicle too was not able to do any repair or diagnosis so it was towed to Honda of Olathe, then New Concept Auto and finally Sallas Auto. On November 10th, I was told my engine needed to be replaced due to bearing issue. The mechanic ran diagnostic tests and did not find any past cleared codes or active codes that should have been triggered by an engine issue. My vehicle was serviced regularly. Most recent was an oil change end July/Early August, no issues were found, no metal flakes. In that short period of time my engine failed and I had to replace with a used 2018 engine. During this time we were informed by friends of the Honda Odyssey recall for 2018 engines, however upon calling Honda Corporate, I was told my specific 2018 Honda Odyssey was not included and would "not be covered at this time, if ever". My mechanic is adamant the issues listed in the recall document is the exact issue I had with my engine. On attachment please notice item 1 and 2. Also the deer note at the top of the attached invoice is determined to be a coincidence by three separate mechanics - Honda of Olathe, Sallas and New Concept Auto as well as the State Farm advisor. Thank you

Manufacturing Engine damage/failure. Synthetic oil was used at all oil changes every 5K miles. However, after only 3K miles after last oil change the oil level was low and dirty. Engine light started flashing and failed to accelerate. Engine also started making a knocking noise.

Our 2018 Honda Odyssey has a little over 33,000 miles on it; and out of nowhere several warning light came on, such as Adaptive Cruise Control problem, Lane Keeping Assisst Problem, Collision Mitigation system problem, Road departure mitigation system problem. Scheduled an appointment with Honda Service, however they refuse to event take a look at it, and cancel my appointment half an hour prior to appointment time.

For the last 3 months the car will turn on by itself and drain the battery. Went to several mechanics that could not find a reason for this issue. This weekend, while I was driving on the road, the car stopped while driving on the highway. This happened 4 times risking my life, wife, and my children. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by other owners of this car on various forums. I have not had the vehicle inspected by the manufacturer as they are trying to charged me thousands of dollars to review the issue. There were no warning lamps or signals on the car.

I was driving down the interstate and I lost total power. My engine stalled, mechanic says connecting rod bearing failure. There is currently a recall on some of the 2018 Honda odyssey models for the same problem but from what I read it doesn’t cover mine even though it has the same issue as the recall

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shut off and then immediately restarted independently. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Tailgate controller issue. 2018 Honda Odyssey: A day after a day of rain, we went out shopping and stopped at a store. Getting out , we saw "Tailgate Controller Problem" message appear on the dashboard. I tried to open/close the tailgate but it just kept latching and unlatching. I was finally able to get it to remain closed by pushing on the tailgate. After heading to another store, saw a "high-beam problem" message, and another message, so we went home. At night, I noticed the interior ceiling lights going on and off. I went to start the van, and my key fob would not unlock the door. I used the emergency key in the fob and tried opening the drivers door...after 45 seconds of turning left and turning right, the windows rolled down about an inch, then the door unlocked. I started the van and moved it up in the driveway and turned it off, and checked a couple of times all night to see if the lights came back on. The next morning, I had to charge the battery because it was at 3Vs. I drove the van to make sure the alternator was working,and then saw messages: blinking "R" for reverse blinking "D" and no turn signals, and messages appeared: "Transmission Problem". "Keyless Start System Problem","Blind Spot Info System Problem".We dropped the van off at the dealer and it would not lock with the fob, and the center dashboard console (with the navigation menu)remained on with the engine off and door closed. Dealer ordered a Tailgate Controller. When we asked the person at the desk, what the issue was..."moisture got in". I told him there is a discussion on the internet about a (design) leak in the roof causing this issue. He said, the controller is in the tailgate not in the van. But I know its on the side panel. This situation is very dangerous because a week before we had traveled with the van,out of state, on the interstate, trying to get people to airports and if these messages had appeared then, we would have had a very harrowing experience. A message is still seen

My van has been having increasingly frequent speed control problems. When attempting to pull out from a stop, the gas pedal will become unresponsive. Then, I will press the gas pedal harder and the vehicle will burn rubber. This happens intermittently, but at least 3-4 times a week. The most dramatic example of this happened, yesterday, while I was trying to make a left turn cross two lanes of traffic with children in my vehicle. I lightly pressed the gas, rolled out into the intersection, lost gas pedal response. I pressed the pedal hard to attempt to move out of path of oncoming traffic where I was stalled. The car burned rubber, then immediately lost gas pedal response again. I had to again press the gas pedal and burn rubber a 2nd time to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. Losing all gas pedal response while oncoming traffic is approaching is terrifying. I have already attempted to have this repaired several by Honda at a dealership. They applied a software update but the problem has not resolved.

Water intrusion on the driver side rear panel has caused the power tailgate command module to short out twice now.

The electrical system has some weird glitch where it will shut down all the displays and more. The nav display as well as the speedometer area will shut down and restart. I will receive warning lights that many systems like the lane Keeping Assistant and accident braking mitigation systems are offline. Sometimes it will kill the engine too. This is very disturbing and unsafe to happen when driving. It could cause an accident on its own and also negates the extra safety features like LKAS added to make the van safer to drive. The problem was assessed by Honda and they said they could not find an issue originally. There were no codes. Now I am getting more problems and warnings. The dash now tells me "Engine Management System Malfunction". Honda reset this since they could not find a service code. It came back within a week and then my power steering started messing up. It seemed to be when the system was overloaded by going into reverse and switching to the backup camera. The power steering would lurch and stutter. This is very concerning to go out while driving. The final straw is now my high-pressure fuel pump has gone out causing a loud noise under the hood. My vehicle only has 120,000 which I feel is not that old for a Honda. Honda has the van today and wants $1200 to swap out the fuel pump and now they say the "Power distribution module" is causing all the electrical problems which is another $700. My question is: Is this all connected to the same electrical issue? Note: I have a suspicion that the problems are worse when the car gets too much stimulus in the electrical system. Sometimes it seems like the sun at the right angle blinds the front cameras and the system freaks out. Also, changing to reverse and activating the backup camera tends to cause the problem. Possibly even adding devices with carplay could exacerbate it.

When I was driving on the road a few hours away from my hometown, the check engine light started blinking. I took the car to a nearby Honda dealership. They said blinking engine light was due to misfire on cylinder 6. Solution is to replace fuel injectors, but the injectors are on back order with no release date. So I am not able to drive the car right now until it is fixed. Please advise. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Engine suddenly lost power while driving on highway putting my family at risk of a serious accident. A Honda dealer diagnosed a connecting rod bearing issue No warning before engine lost power - flashing engine late came on at same time. Honda dealer says a new engine is needed.

When the vehicle is at a full stop and you press the gas, there is a stall in the vehicle acceleration. I’m unsure if this is a transmission or engine issue however it has done this since the date of purchase. I have contacted a Honda dealer who stated “this is a known problem but there is no solution for it”. This is a very large safety concern as the delay can easily cause a crash.. I have to plan for plenty of space prior to turning just in as it stalls while attempting to drive

The car stop or fall several times when doing a complete stop and may cause and accident

Unknown, I was driving and the vehicle completely died without warning. And then on several occasions I've been driving and it would say crash mitigation system problem. Where my guages would go out and throw my vehicle into neutral along with my steering wheel to lock up. I've had it looked at and nothing comes up in codes. Has a new battery on it and still continues to do the same things.I have notified the corporate office of Honda and they told me they have heard of these problems . And wanted me to take to a hinda dealer ship for them to do a diagnostic test which I've already done 2 times with nothing coming up .

Here is what happened: 1). After the car driving for 10mins and engine warms up, stop the car, and turn off. 2). Turn on the car again, it shows message such as "Emissions System Problem", "Transmission problem", "Blind Spot Info System Problem" at the same time. The computer locks the car that doesn't allow the Transmission to change from "P" to "R", "N", or "D" position. The car fails to drive. 3). Leave the car for few hours and let the engine compartment cool down first, turn on the car again and those messages go away, and the car can drive. 4). After driving for a while, it repeats the problem from 1) ~ 3).

Both of my passenger sliding doors failed, resulting in both of them opening while driving with my children in the back seats. In August 2022, my driver side passenger door swung wide open while I was driving the car, with the error on the dashboard showing door open. Took the car to Honda Dealership, who stated that the door latch failed and replaced the door latch. Now, a year later, in October 2023, the same issue happened on the passenger side. The door swung wide open while driving, with the same error appearing on the dashboard. This time, Honda refused to fix it and demanded that we pay $800 for the fix. How do latches on both doors fail?

Every time when it rains, the power tail gate fails showing beeping noise from the rear and on the screen and unable to lock the doors. Had to replace the power tail module couple of times so far and still problem persists. The Honda dealership mentioned there was a leak, repaired and replaced the module , inspite of the fix priblem still persists when it rains.

Front windshield camera failure (confirmed by local Honda dealership). No known cause and no prior warnings/messages. All warning messages popped up suddenly after the car was parked for the workday. The following functions were disabled by this failure: automatic emergency breaking, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, cruise control, etc. Part to replace is "on national backorder with no known ETA"

Numerous times, this 2018 Honda Odyssey would shift into neutral when trying to downshift at highway speeds after a long trip. The push button gear indicator would state the vehicle would be in "D" drive, but the vehicle would actually be in neutral. The only remedy would be to apply the brakes to allow something to reset, and the transmission would then engage as normal. This is very unsafe as one time this happened to me while I was ascending a steep bridge with my entire family in the vehicle. This happened multiple times in the 2 1/2 years with this van, and each time the Honda dealer replied that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. Another issue with the transmission was during really hot weather. The vehicle was parked in a parking lot on a 100+ degree day. Upon entering the vehicle, the dash flashed the warning signs "Transmission error, pull over immediately when safe". "Transmission error, please apply the parking brake". The vehicle was taken directly to the Honda dealership with errors listed, and the Honda dealer indicated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. The codes were reset and the vehicle was given back to me. A month later, the transmission went into neutral again during a trip at highway speeds. Being that I could no longer trust the vehicle with my family's safety, I was forced to get a new vehicle as Honda did not want to acknowledge the issue.

On several occasions (roughly 5 separate and unique incidents), the vehicle put itself into neutral (N) while driving. There are instances when the vehicle was in motion and others when it is at a stop. The screens in the dashboard cluster and in the center of the front dashboard go blank momentarily and the transmission changes from drive (D) to neutral (N) without any apparent cause or any warning whatsoever. The power steering is also resetting, causing the steering to momentarily become much more stiff and harder to turn. It’s currently at the dealer undergoing inspection and repair, but the fact that this is causing a safety issue that makes the vehicle undriveable while at any speed without warning is a serious safety issue.

This vehicle has had numerous electrical issues, culminating in the need for three batteries in a six year. Period. From day one there were electrical issues with the auto stop start and the car in one occasion the battery completely died. Honda was unable to identify the issue and electrical issues. Continue to happen. in the last 18 months I’ve had numerous occasions where this auto stop start would engage at a stoplight stop sign in the middle of busy traffic, but would not start back up. I took it in for service and they cannot re-create or identify the issue. This is very scary when it happens as I have been on start and go traffic on the interstate on busy intersections and the car will not move nor can it be restarted for 5 to 10 minutes. Honda offers no solution to this dangerous problem. After months of not being able to fix this. Identify a problem the car no longer moves into reverse consistently Honda recommends new transmission. After becoming frustrated with Honda and feeling unsafe with my family in this vehicle, I had to trade it in for a new vehicle as no solutions were offered to make me feel safe driving it or to get it repaired effectively or identify why it keeps needing new batteries and has electrical dysfunction since purchase

The camera that controls all safety features in my vehicle has an “Internal Failure” this means all my sensors and my dash board is lit up like a Christmas Tree. I took it to the dealership paid for a diagnostic test and found out it was the front camera internal failure, which means all sensors (lane mitigation, braking system, cruise control, automatic dim lights etc), is all not working. HELP please!! As I took it to the dealership even if I pay for the fixing the camera is on National Back Order that being stated it means MANY people are having the same issue, and Honda has no conducted a recall for this HELP us PLEASE!!!

Honda Odyssy 2018- While slowing down and then trying to accelerate does not accelerate and stalls in the lane and requires pumping of accelerator pedal before gear is changed. some time when this happens you can heard grinding noise of gear change. Last time it happened it showed 'Transmission system Problem' and 'Blind Spot Info system Problem' on screen. This is after dealer has looked at the problem and I was told it happened when tech test drove also. Dealer had updated software but it did not fix the issue. This is a safety concern, as if you can not accelerate to maintain the speed of other cars in your lane, cars behind you can get into accident.

I was driving and all of the sudden the vehicle slowly started losing power. A bunch of lights popped up on the dash and it turns out it was the camshaft and the sensor. The camshaft had been rubbing on the sensor for quite some time causing the engine to malfunction.

When driving the vehicle on September 8, 2023 LKAS (lane keeping assist problem), collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, blind spot info system problem, auto high beam problem and ACC (adaptive cruise control problem) came on. Pulled over and restarted the car and all warning lights remain. Transmission system problem error is now appearing with the letters blinking on the display. Turn the car off and back on until transmission problem error goes away. Vehicle going in for diagnostics early October.

I had the MOST recall repair a couple weeks ago, but my backup camera still cuts out and says CHECK TUNER. This does cause a temporary visibility issue when switching to mirrors.

Recently started to experience this issue. I have 41,000miles on this 2018 Honda Odyssey. It Jerks & delayed acceleration/hesitation upon acceleration while driving between 20‐35mph on local roads. It happens mostly with slowing down in traffic or upon stopping at stop sign & accelerating again. I am not experiencing this issue with freeway driving. I went to the dealership where I bought the car from. They asked me for $280 to just diagnose the problem, but I refuse to pay for just to diagnose. Currently, I am trying to research out my own. As the dealership has no clue about the issue. Please provide me with any related complaints & resolution for this problem.

Appears the front radar system fails causing all safety features that rely on data from that radar to also fail, causing a high potential for safety related incident due to reliance on these safety features.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V431000 (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 not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that upon opening the electronic tailgate and entering the trunk of the vehicle, an alert sounded, indicating that the tailgate was closing. After closing the tailgate, the tailgate suddenly jerked open, striking the contact. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, who was also unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but was unable to assist. The failure mileage was 172,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the passenger’s side sliding door failed to latch and lock securely. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with a failed door latch actuator. The contact was informed that the two latches and actuators need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact stated that after researching the failure, she discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V795000 (Latches, Locks, Linkages) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

The power tailgate on my 2018 Honda Odyssey EX-L started opening and closing on its own, seemingly at random. The latch would not cinch and the gauge cluster reported an opening attempt while driving on the highway. This failure cascaded and ended up bringing every device on the B-CAN network down, including the instrument cluster, heated seats, power sliding doors, ADAS systems including FCW/LDW/LKA and various telltales and buttons on the dash. Upon disassembly of the interior to expose the affected controllers, I discovered that the power tailgate controller was full of water. There was enough water in it to cause arcing of the power and CAN terminals. I traced the ingress path upwards and discovered a crack in the seam sealer on the roof, underneath the left roof rack rail at the very rear of the vehicle. Water enters under the roof rail, drips down the door hinge, then drips down the body to the cup holder and directly into the controller. To remediate I had to replace the damaged controller and apply seam sealer underneath the roof rail at a cost of approximately $200. I called the local dealer to attempt to report this to Honda but was unable to find the appropriate person. Over a dozen people have reported this issue online and there are pictures of the issue. I posted pictures to one of the links referenced below and have additional pictures. I believe this is a manufacturing defect and not caused by age or use of the vehicle and there is strong evidence it affects a lot of people. The issue will be particularly prevalent when the vehicle is parked outside on a downward incline. I work in a related industry on embedded devices that must meet functional safety standards, and I believe an issue like this would lead to a mandatory safety recall.

No acceleration when pressing gas at very unsafe times like pulling out from a drive onto road or turning in intersection. I pressed the gas when it was clear to go and the car lagged in acceleration then jolted me out into the middle of the intersection where it lagged again and right before I was about to get T- Boned by another car it accelerated and I was able to make it into my lane last minute. This has happened multiple times but at least 3 times where it put me and my children in imminent danger of getting hit. I have taken it to dealership where they did a reset on some electric part of transmission and said it could take up to 1000 miles to notice a change. So far no change and still experiencing problems. My car also lunges or intensely rocks back and forth when put in park. I hear clunking when shifting at various times. The issues with acceleration make it extremely dangerous when needing to pass vehicles whether on highway or roadway. I do not trust this vehicle but because the dealer sold it over priced mixed with the $13,500 depreciation that has happened within just a year of buying it I am not in a position to get out of it. I am desperately seeking help to get out of this death trap of a car for mine and my children’s sake. I bought this vehicle with appx. 40,000 miles and have had regular maintenance. Currently setting at 82,000 miles. The car has had the same issues since buying it with 40,000 miles that it has today with 82,000 miles. I see where there is a specific recall for 2018-2019 Honda odysseys for this type of problem but my vin is not affected which needs to change as clearly my vin is very much affected.

When the vehicle’s auto start-stop feature is active, the feature will malfunction causing the engine to not start properly. Instead, the vehicle stalls and must be restarted manually. However, there are many occasions when the vehicle does not start manually either. In these cases, it takes many attempts to restart the vehicle. While these events are happening, the vehicle displays an error message for the auto start-stop feature on the instrument cluster, and the instrument cluster will flicker on and off. The events often occur during the middle of an intersection and attempting to turn in front of oncoming traffic. It creates a very dangerous situation. the vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others because the issue occurs regularly, and the dealership has asked us to come back when the problem is occurring. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. However, there are other Honda vehicles (e.g., Honda Pilot) which have the exact same issue, and a recall has been issued for those vehicles but not the Honda Odyssey.

When idle stop is activated, car will often stall on attempt to restart. Car can then not be started for 5-10 seconds. If the car does not stall, it will often hesitate 2-3 seconds before the engine restarts, leading to multiple near-miss accidents on turns. Electrical warnings will often flash after idle stop, such as "sliding door problem," "collision mitigation malfuction," "anti-theft system malfunction," etc. Battery has been replaced twice with no other remedy offered while in or out of warranty.

While the van was in motion, the power tailgate unlocked and opened on its own. The dashboard displayed tailgate open warning message. I slowed down and the lock re-engaged to to close the tailgate. It happened again later that evening. Fortunately, I was within city limits, driving about 40 mph.

Honda has a recall notice to repair the rear camera. We took the car in to get the recall service. The camera stopped working. Honda told us the diagnostic to determine what wasn't working on the camera would cost hundreds of dollars. This was recall service that disabled the camera. We should not be charged and they have messed up our car system.

Started up the van one afternoon a couple months back and a bunch of warning lights came on. ACC failure, auto high beam failure, collision mitigation system failure, lane keep assist failure. These warnings come on every time and these safety features do not work. Dealership diagnoses front camera failure.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while slowing and then attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the delay was approximately two seconds before the vehicle accelerated as needed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure but no cause for the failure was found. The contact stated that the failure had become progressively worse. The manufacturer was not yet contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

I scheduled a transmission flush service. After driving i noticed a jerking motion at about 25mph. Took back to honda and they charged me again to do another flush. Issue still persists.Service advisor said may be the transmission. Researching on line seems many have had problems with this transmission model. I knew another flush was not going to fix the issue but dealership was able to make an additional $283.

The automatic emergency braking system (AEB) the Collision Mitigation Braking System or “CMBS.” Ingaged and Stopped the van four (4) times when there where no obsticals in front of the van. Twice this happend while making left turns in four-way intersection.

The transmission in my 2018 Honda Odyssey clunks and shutters and jerks forward when accelerating and jerks slow down when decelerating. Stop and go traffic I either can barely accelerate or rapidly accelerate after upshidting and almost hit the car in front of me. The transmission shudders and clunks and jerks

When accelerating from a stopped position, the car occasionally hesitates and then suddenly surges, especially when turning into traffic with vehicles fast approaching. After hesitating, the car accelerates rapidly with the tires screeching. Similarly, when travelling at slow speed, perhaps 40 MPH, and accelerating into a neighboring lane, the car quits accelerating for a brief moment before rapidly accelerating again. I can hear the transmission clunk occasionally as it selects another gear. It's as if the electronic communication between the engine and the transmission is lagging. The Honda dealer indicated the transmission and engine are fine. The brief second or two acceleration delay before overreacting has been embarrassing and I fear dangerous. The car has always behaved this way but it has gotten worse the last couple years. Currently have 54k miles.

My 2018 Honda EX-L RES has ZF 9 speed transmission and noticed following safety issues. 1. When I stop at the stop sign or red lights, then I push a gas pedal to take off right away the transmission is not engaged, rather booming sound and 3 second after it squeals the tire. It is very dangerous when I make right turn after I stop as cars in the main lanes may have hit me as my transmission does start right away. 2. When I drive local in 20-30 mph, the gear is 2,3 and 4 and the gear is shifting down hardly when I am off the gas pedal and it make my card terriblely slow down as I feel like I push the stop pedal and cars behind me honks as they think I doing a sudden stop.

After rainfall water is leaking into the rear fuse box compartment located behind the 3rd row seats and causing the tailgate control module and other parts to fail. The tailgate does not have any power and cannot be opened or closed with the fob or the push buttons located in the tailgate or in the dashboard area. The tailgate cannot be locked as the latch does not engage and it can be very risky to drive the vehicle as the tailgate might come open while driving. There might be some opening on the roof of the vehicle from where water is leaking into the fuse compartment and causing this hazardous situation.

My car has stalled on multiple occasions when the auto-idle feature is engaged. A message on the dashboard flashes stating ‘collision mitigation system’ and then the car just stalls and the battery light comes on. Typically this requires turning the car off and turning back on to begin driving. Very scary and dangerous when in the middle of a busy road/traffic light/stop.

In two separate incidents, my vehicle stalled when it tried to restart after being in Auto Idle Stop mode. In both incidents, I was stopped at an intersection where I was making an unprotected left turn. As I was stopped, the Auto Idle Stop mode activated on my Honda Odyssey which turned off the engine. When it was clear to make a left turn, I lifted my foot off the gas which disabled Auto Idle Stop mode. As my engine tried to restart, it stalled. I was able to get it to restart but only after being stalled in traffic for several seconds causing other drivers to honk at me. When my engine restarted, several warning lights lit up on my dashboard for about a second and a warning alarm sounded. Since they were illuminated for such a short period and I was actively trying to clear the intersection, I was not able to see which lights they were but I do remember that one of the lights that lit up in the first incident was the sliding door warning light. The first incident happened in May 2023 when I had about 99,000 miles on my van. The second incident happened in July 2023 with approximately 101,000 miles on my van. The problem happens at seemingly random times and has not been able to be reproduced. There were no other warnings prior to the problem happening. Since my van randomly stalled in the middle of an intersection, I believe this problem posed a safety risk to myself and my occupants as well as other drivers near me. Had I not been able to get my van restarted, I would have been at risk of being hit by oncoming cars. Even the few-second delay in restarting could have been catastrophic had an oncoming car been approaching quickly. I have had no issues with the starter on my van or with issues stalling other than these incidents. The stalls have only occured when coming out of Auto Idle Stop mode. Unfortunately, there is no way to permanently deactivate this mode. It automatically turns on each time I start up my car.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while pressing the button to automatically close the driver’s and passenger’s side sliding doors, the doors stopped halfway and failed to close properly. The contact was able to manually push the doors close. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V437000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages) but the failure persisted. The dealer was contacted that stated there was nothing that could be done because the recall repair was performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle needed to be taken to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was 33,000.

The transmission has intermittent harsh or jerky upshifts with steady acceleration, or the MIL comes on with DTC P0756. The vehicle would be unable to shift into reverse thus causing potential traffic issues by stalling on the road. The shift would not engage in reverse, appears to be stuck in neutral and slowly slides.

Our van regularly hesitates when to accelerate from a stop. Example, when turning right on red pushing the gas pedal will provide some speed to get into the roadway, then it becomes unresponsive. Letting up and pushing the accelerator will cause the van to move again after about.5 to 1 seconds. Often the accelerator has to be pushed all the way to the floor, which causes the van to move aggressively once it does start to respond causing the tires to spin out. While the performance issue is annoying, this becomes a safety issue when stranded out in traffic.

This vehicle (2018 Honda Odyssey) hesitates when acceleration is attempted after braking. This makes left turns in front of oncoming traffic particularly dangerous. The problem has been widely discussed on Honda/Odyssey online forums. Honda apparently has not acknowledged the problem or warned owners about it. I just missed getting hit with a car full of kids due to acceleration hesitation.

Water leaking in from roof or driver side windows into rear electronics at the fuse box and the tailgate control module. When control module was removed there was gross evidence of water saturation in the control module and multiple areas of corrosion, rust and fouling of electrical components causing battery to drain dead.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at approximately 70 MPH, there was a loud bang followed by a rattling sound coming from the passenger’s side rear tire. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and parked. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the suspension spring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 101,000.

Five years old vehicle jerked and almost came to a complete stop. Engine transmission services warning popped up as soon as the jerk happened the first time. Another warning came up as well. Jerking happens at least every mile. Car full of young kids jerked and almost came to a complete stop on the road and highway. Multiple moving vehicles were near when this occurred, which could have resulted in a terrible accident. Honda dealer said this is due to front camshaft and sensor. No engine warning regarding this problem showed up prior to this jerking. This first appeared on June 23, 2033.

Vehicle was taken into Honda dealer due to trunk not opening and closing properly & receiving “Power Tailgate Failure” warning and rear entertainment system not working. After many hours, I was told the power tailgate control unit and floor wire harness would need replaced due to corosion from water damage ??? This was at 42,653 miles!! They couldn’t explain how the damage could have happened and Honda refused to do anything about fixing it.

Our 2018 Honda Odyssey has randomly failed to start three times. No warning no advance warning messages or alerts. These appeared once after being parked overnight and twice immediately after being driven a short distance. First time was in June of 2021, second time in May of 2023 and third time in June of 2023. When trying to start the vehicle either the dash would flash with unknown information before going blank or was blank and wouldn’t crank the starter motor. We replaced the battery after the third failure.

I am having an identical issues as described in NHTSA ID Number 11526094. Vehicle hesitates when accelerating from a stop. Have been almost hit a couple times as it is unpredictable when this happens. This is a dangerous behavior and I cannot in clear conscience sell this minivan to another family. I have returned it to the dealer multiple times and they were eventually able to reproduce the problem and captured the behavior on diagnostic equipment. Their finding is that when the accelerator is slightly pressed, and then release (like one might do when entering an intersection to make a left hand turn) the transmission jumps to 5th gear. When the accelerator is pressed to complete the left turn, the transmission spends several seconds shifting from 4th to 3rd to 2nd before finally accelerating. This delay opens up the opportunity to get hit. The dealer concurred that this was a problem but then contacted Honda and they said this is normal characteristic with 2018 and 2019 model Odyssey's with the 9 speed transmission. This may be a normal characteristic with this model year according to Honda but it is not acceptable behavior for any type of vehicle. It is just a matter of time before an accident will happen. It happens often and seems to be getting worse over time including irregular/rough shifts while driving. See attached documentation.

Rear hatch on our Odyssey EX-L started giving a "Power Tailgate Problem", and it would not open at all except by mechanically releasing the hatch from the emergency access panel. I replaced the rear hatch control module and the hatch could now again be opened from the outside as normal, but the power tailgate still did not function up and down, and requires manual lifting open and pushing closed. Upon inspection, the removed/malfunctioning control module appears to have failed due to water infiltration, meaning water has entered the inside of the vehicle and then shorted electrical components, potentially creating a fire hazard.

There are no warning lights illuminating. The 2018 Odyssey inconsistently will not accelerate when needed and it puts the driver and passengers in dangerous situations if there is other traffic. When the driver pushes down on the foot pedal for acceleration, the car acts as if it can't engage for a moment (like it is thinking about what it needs to do), it briefly freezes, but then will suddenly jerk into gear and jump. It is dangerous because it can happen when trying to accelerate onto the freeway or when trying to turn onto a busy road and there is no rhyme or reason as to when it is going to happen. There have been 2 close calls in which the other drivers acted defensively preventing crashes and on 1 instance, there were children in the car. We should not have to wait for an injury to have a problem considered and corrected.

The problem is with the 9 speed automatic transmission system. Yes, it is available for inspection. There is a delay in acceleration which has caused the vehicle to "stall" in dangerous situations such as pulling out onto a road with traffic, making a left turn with oncoming traffic, or needing to accelerate at a green light. There have been multiple incidents when an oncoming car has had to brake to avoid a collision because I have stalled temporarily in their lane. I have also nearly been rear ended as I stall after moving forward at a green light. The vehicle accelerates too slowly from a stop, then stalls for several seconds before over correcting and too much power causes the tires to spin and the car can get a little squirrelly if I am not extra careful. It happens often but not always and is getting worse and more frequent. There are also problems with rough shifting and delayed shifting that have been an issue since I bought it in 2018. I have taken it to the dealer many times and while the issue has been reproduced, they have never been able to identify a cause. One Honda mechanic said that his 2018 Pilot acts the same way and it is "normal" for that engine. The issue was reproduced during a recent inspection from an independent mechanic who sent me to a specialty transmission shop who said the transmission was fine and suggested that it was due to a tech issue and sent me back to Honda. The mechanics at Honda have not gotten stuck in front of an oncoming car on a road test so they treat the issue as a mild annoyance. No warning lights have gone on. The severity and frequency of this problem is increasing and I no longer believe the car is safe to drive. Honda does not have a fix and I am ready to sell it but I don't think it is safe for others to drive either and I don't know what to do. It is only a matter of time until this causes an accident.

The sliding doors do not work properly when the windows are down. When the windows are up and you open the door you hear a clicking noise locking the door in place. If the windows are down when opening the doors they do not “click” and the door can slide closed. This is a bigger issue when parked on a hill or slight decline as the door can slam shut on small kids. If the windows are down when opening the door you need to use one arm or your body to keep the door open while you buckle kids up. Or just make sure windows are up.

When the accelerator is depressed and the vehicle is in drive, it does not accelerate. This has happened multiple times, the date provided is a representative date where others witnessed the issue and is not the first or last time it occurred.

On Monday, March 27th While driving at various speeds, the collision mitigation system message flashed on the instrument panel without anything provoking it/no real cause. I observed while driving the vehicle, the warning message repeatedly flashed on the screen before the entire instrument panel went blank. This includes the infotainment system restarting as well, alternatively, I was driving going between 40-60mph and the all-dashboard notification lights started flickering (lane departure warning, odometer, blind spot warning, Collision Mitigation System etc.) it continues to happen randomly while driving at unpredictable times the wheel does lock up for a short time and the vehicle is temporarily not under driver control. It was able to restore, and I was able to regain control of the vehicle other times its last for several seconds. I have captured this incident on video. Additionally, there is also an issue with the vehicle hesitating while accelerating from a stop even with Auto Stop disengaged. On Thursday, June 1st same issue as described above occurred at 8:10AM when issue occurred again the vehicle steering for a 5-8 Second Period was locked and not able to move. Shortly after, I began to record the vehicle. Within a 7-8 Minute Period I was able to capture on video it happening an additional 3 Times.

When driving the dash and instrument cluster will restart suddenly and the van will shift out of drive suddenly.

I have 2018 Odyssey EXL . on instrument display got message "Power Tailgate Issue". The tailgate can not open either by control button or manually. I have already had this issue 2 times. I sent it to dealer and been told the power tailgate control module was intruded by water. I replaced the control module, and after several months, the issue recovered. The power tailgate can not open and close will cause my trip in danger. I hope the honda can fix this issue for the customers free.

I was driving the vehicle as normal and stopped at a Red Traffic Light. I attempted to drive when the light changed to green. The car stuttered, the dashboard lights flashed and the car shut down. - Multiple attempts to re-start failed. No prior warning lights etc. Car just return from Dealer to address Recall Issues etc. Dealer made comments on Brake Maintenance etc which was then serviced. No Mention of Auto Stop/Start issues. - FULL failure: No brake, no steering, no radio, dashboard went blank. No lights. - FAILURE OF HAZARD LIGHTS TO WORK. - This is a SHUT down in the middle of a busy street with 2 kids in the car. NO Hazard lights working. - Mulitple near accidents from incoming traffic. No lights working??? -Spoke to mechanic over the phone. He thought it was NOT likely the battery and I needed to get a tow truck. -Tow truck not available for several hours. - Mechanic was able to send someone to me. He worked on it and eventually got it to start. - Immediately took it to the Mechanic Shop. They Tested the Battery, alternator, starter and connections. Stated No Problem detected. - Mechanic thought it could be related to the computer/Auto Stop/Start system and suggested I get it checked at the Dealership. -Spoke to the Dealership the following day and base on the description of events they also mention the Auto Stop/Start system???? -This seems to be a problem they are aware of but????? The Dealership recognize this problem base on the conversation???? It is thus well known???? - Car left at Dealership - This is EXTEMELY DANGEROUS. The car Shuts Down/Freezes in the middle of Traffic. - NO HAZARD LIGHTS WORKING?????? - This is an Accident/Deaths waiting to happen. - Why is the computer even controlling the HAZARD lights. That is a HORRENDOUS Design Error. Hazard Lights should be HARD WIRED to switch.

several times when stopped at a light, the vehicle's auto idle engine engages and shuts the car off. When the brake has been released, the vehicle has failed to start. Most recently, this occurred while waiting in a car line of traffic and it took many different attempts to get the car engine back on - about 10 minutes before the engine could be started, resulting in myself and my children stuck on the road while we opened doors, the hood of the car, tried to start the car and turn it completely off. It was in a stuck position until it wasn't. that was the first time the vehicle wouldn't start after numerous attempts to start the engine. We have been told there is no way to fix this - only to manually turn the function off every time the car is started.

The high pressure fuel pump is not working causing a noise like a motorcycle. took to dealer they advised it is a safety issue. Could cause gas lines to blow out while driving. Part is saying it is discontinued and is on backorder. Honda dealer is the one who diagnosed the problem. No warning no check engine light

Vehicle has roughly 32,000 miles. KEY SAFETY ISSUES [with vehicle parked, engine off and doors closed] (1) vehicle randomly and without warning locks driver out (cannot open car with key fob by pressing unlock button, cannot open car manually by entering key into door). Had to call AAA on 4 different occasions to pry open door with specialty tools. After that, had to leave window fully open in order to ensure we would not get locked out. (2) when vehicle locks driver out it also sets off the alarm, turns the car on to idle, and turns on the radio (even if its off) thus draining the battery until its dead. Why this is a major safety issue? -- Scenarios I though of (1) child/toddler getting accidently locked into car with no way to open and AAA not readily available (2) getting locked out of your car in a remote location with no cell service (mountains, desert, etc) When this issue happened the dash screen would show an error of "Auto Engine Idle Stop System Problem". I took the van to Honda and they diagnosed the problem to be a faulty keyless access control unit. Fees to replace were +/- $1,100. Honda decline to provide any cost reduction or assistance stating that warranty for the part had expired.

The third row seat belt latch constantly gets stuck when lowering the driver side seats down. It has bent over time and it finally broke in half. We constantly try to move it to be safe but as the driver side seats go down, they catch the passenger side seat and pull the seatbelt latch with it. It results in the latch part being crushed between the seats. It was still usable up until this weekend when it got caught again and broke the latch completely.

SUNROOF EXPLODED - glass was contained by cover but I had to hold cover shut until I got to dealer - insurance inspected the damage - no warning before it happened

The driver's seat belt consistently came 'unbuckled'. There were times that I had to pull over to re-insert it into the base. On 14 DEC 2022, I took the van to Honda of Gainesville FL to have this evaluated and repaired. The seat belt was replaced that day for a total of $269.67 (a receipt is available upon request). Last week, I checked the recalls online and Honda is recalling its 2018 Odyssey vans for this same problem. When I called about this, I was told by both the local dealer's staff member and Honda's Recall staff member (888-234-2138) that our VIN was not included in the recall. This is the reason I am writing to you; I believe that our VIN should have been included for this recall and the seat belt replacement covered by Honda. I don't see how it could not be included. Also, we want to notify you of this situation should other Odyssey owners be affected.

when starting from a stop, occasionally when the accelerator is first pressed, the van doesn't immediately accelerate, there is about a two second hesitation where the car does nothing, and then finally it engages and starts to move forward. This happens occasionally in DRIVE, but I don't think I have ever seen it in reverse. It seems to happen more right after the vehicle is first turned on. I have seen many others complaining in various forums about the same issue. Here's one site: https://www.odyclub.com/threads/2018-odyssey-having-1-3-second-acceleration-lag-from-stopped-or-rolling-on-9-speed-transmission.368250/ This has been happening for a long time, I don't recall when it first started to happen. the date I put below is pretty much a random date

Just bought the car used with 60240 mi at the end of March on a Friday. 30 minutes after leaving the dealership the Auto Idle Stop warning notice appeared on the dash stating this feature was unavailable. It would not engage when idle at a light and as a result, when the gas was pressed to accelerate the car would hesitate and jerk into gear. This happened the entire 1.5-hour ride home, whether for a short pause or longer pause. It was a bit scary because the car would hesitate to move and clearly there were cars behind me. At any point and time, someone could've rear-ended me thinking I was able to accelerate properly. About 1 hour into the ride the brake lights came on flashing red at the bottom of the dash the entire time and would not go out. I immediately called the dealership once I reached my destination to announce the problem. The following Monday I took it back for a look over. In their investigation, they found a tracker attached under the dash and assumed this was interfering with the transmission of messages for the Auto Idle stop to engage. The dealer claimed there were codes, but after removing this attachment the auto idle stop feature engaged and they cleared all the codes. To my surprise, after 4-5 hours of being there, I drove home to find as I neared by destination all error codes returned including the brake lights flashing. I immediately called the dealer again and complained. This time to not further inconvenience me with the back and forth, they came and picked up the car on a Thursday with the intent of troubleshooting it over the course of some days. They had the car from a Thursday to the next Friday for me to arrive after them saying it was good, to find it was still doing it. This time the codes were reviewed with me in the car and the issue was "it was unlearned". After the reset, it started working again. Four days later it's still happening. Engages when it feels like it which causes a rough drive and acceleration. Honda help!

Electrical issues with camera, screen & infotainment system. Terrible crackling noise coming from stereo system. Screen randomly goes black for prolonged periods of time. While in reverse and relying on camera….all of a sudden you do not have visibility. Screen will stay off as well as the music and randomly turn back on. Car has been in shop 5 plus times for this issue and several remedies tried…..nothing seems to work. Whatever remedies have been tried, problem is now worse and more frequent.

Vehicle intermittently engine does not accelerate when gas pedal is pushed. Seems engine is hesitating and will not react to input from gas pedal. Very dangerous situation when you are merging onto highways or turning on to a road. Has done it for some time now. Cannot replicate when taken to dealer. I have read on Honda Odyssey (Ody Club) that this is a common issue with this vehicle. I am afraid my wife is going to wind up in a nasty accident.

While driving multiple system failure- warning lights then failure of: blind spot alert, lane departure, back up camera, wipers, tailgate function. When able to stop, power locks did not function. Inability to access rear of car via sliding doors would pose serious risk if accident occurred due to system failure. Prior to all systems alert, tailgate warning light had been intermittently appearing for a few days. Dealer service center noted water leak from unsealed section between window and frame in back driver side panel that corroded body console module.

This issue been going on for a while now. I Have taking it to the dealer for issue. They said was the battery i replace the battery. Still doesn’t fix the issue. Last week we stuck on the hogging in traffic with my family of 5 including children. We came to a stop and it went into idle stop then it when i released brakes the engine didn’t turn back on tell me to shift in park in the middle of the highway. I could have been hit from the rear with this issue especially if you’re stuck in traffic. This issue has been going on a few times thinking it was because of a battery. I replaced my battery twice because that what Honda said is the issue .

On March 13, 2023 my Honda Odyssey 2018 would not shift out of "Park". The message,” Stop Driving When Safe. Transmission Problem. See Manual” appeared on my dashboard. I turned off the Odyssey and started it back up. After this I was able to shift into drive. This message never appeared before March 13, 2023. Later as I was driving, the Odyssey shifted into "Neutral" by itself without any action on my part. The vehicle became unresponsive, the Odyssey lost all drive train power as we were driving on a steep decline. I was only able to slow the Odyssey with the foot break. This was an extremely dangerous situation that put the safety of my whole family at risk. I was able to steer the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway out of on coming traffic. The next day, March 14, when I started the Odyssey it would not shift out of "Park" and the same error message about the transmission appeared. We were left stranded on the side of the road with freezing temperatures.The mechanic at the Honda dealership stated he could not get the Odyssey to shift out of Park until it had been running for 45 minutes. The problem was confirmed by the Honda dealership. The Odyssey was inspected by the Honda dealership. He could not determine the exact cause and suggested a new battery. I purchased a new battery, and the Honda technician installed it. I had the old battery tested at AutoZone, the battery passed the test, it was a good battery The Honda Dealership changed the Transmission fluid and updated the software of theOdyssey. After being serviced and repaired by the Honda Dealership, the same transmission problem happened again on March 21 as I was driving my boys to school in the morning, going down a decline, again the Odyssey shifted into "Neutral" by itself without any action on my part. The power train lost all power, I could not shift it into "drive". Again this loss of control put my family's safety at risk. This was the third time my family was left stranded.

The radio goes out on my van and the van shifts into neutral while I'm driving. This has been going on for months I've had it to the Honda dealership twice this last time thay said the only thing they could come up with is that the alternator is losing power but alternator is on back order until June and still no guarantee this will fix the problem since none of there test showed up anything other then they were able to get it to go into neutral for them while they were driving it.

I have a 2018 Honda odyssey 9 speed and I am well aware of the many issues people have been complaining of and I am experiencing many of those same issues. My number one issue is my acceleration. I need to step down all the way on the gas pedal to make the car move and once it does my rear tires spin because of the acceleration. I have also had many instances where my car will not accelerate fast enough while turning causing me to sometimes be stopped in on coming traffic. I have had my main screen turn off while driving but did not affect the car however and a handful where I will be stopped at a light and my car shifts to park. I have had the car brought into the dealer 3 times for these issues and all that was done software updates. I did have one instance where my check engine light was on and they replaced the fuel injectors which did not solve the problem.

Car was parked at home. Entered car to get something, noticed car smelled of faint smoke. Didn't think much of it. Next day when I went into the car noticed a large burn hole in passenger side seat.

2018 Honda Odyssey - 120,738 miles at time of occurrence Premature failure of the monocular camera (Honda Part Number 36160-THR-A04). This impacted Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Breaking, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assistance and automatic high beams. This part failed very suddenly when I was on a major highway. No warning lamps prior to failure We kept the part for inspection. The problem was confirmed by a Honda dealer and the part was replaced at my expense ($1,335.88). Reported to American Honda who told me this was no longer under warranty. When i tried to find the part myself, it was on a long back order and I was told by many other dealers that this is a common failure

On 2 occasions, the "Auto Engine Idle Stop" has caused my vehicle to completely die while stopped at a stop light. The car did not start, leaving me stalled in active traffic. Eventually the car reset itself and I was able to restart the car. After this happened the first time the battery in the vehicle was replaced. The second time this happened the battery was only 2 years old. The manufacturer should fix this problem with a recall.

My Honda Odyssey 2018 has a problem that sometimes, particularly during winter, that a lot of check lights are on, and sometimes the car starts to slide. The check lights may include the check engine light, the power steering light, the power brake light, and the transmission light. An independent mechanic determined that this is addressed by the Honda Service Bulletin 20-100, but Honda service representative denies a warranty coverage as they say the VIN is not in the range even when the Model, Make, and the diagnosis all matches (Honda Service representative: case # [XXX], [XXX]). INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Blindspot monitoring, emissions system problem, transmission system problem all come on at the same time when vehicle is motion. Unable to manually shift if needed. A lot of vans had recall, however ours is not on the recall list, but we highly believe it should be due to safety concerns due to transmission failure.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle was shaking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.

My car would not switch gears quick enough which resulted in a brief stalling when trying to cross traffic. This is just the most recent issues when it comes to faulty gear shifting in this vehicle. if it weren’t for other cars slamming on their brakes, it would have been a bad accident.

As I was driving down the interstate in my 2018 Honda Odyssey, clear of other vehicles or debris, I heard a loud bang and saw glass slide off the back of my car. I could instantly hear the air in the moonroof as if it was open. Fortunately, I had the cloth/hard cover closed so no glass got in my car or on me. For obvious reasons this is extremely dangerous and puts many people in the car and outside the car at risk. The shock of the exploding sunroof while driving on the interstate is not safe but if the cover wasn't closed, it would have covered me and my children in glass shards. One week ago, January 27, 2023, I had my a few recalls repaired on my van. One being, "Safety Recall Campaign: Replace Harness Clips and Moon Roof S/B 20-012".

ALL the warning lights came on, including brakes, power steering, lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, and others, indicating the car should be stopped immediately regardless of traffic or conditions. I do not know if the functions were also impaired or if was simply false alarms. I understand this is typical of this auromobile.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that upon opening the driver’s side sliding door, the cable inside the door snapped which rendered the door inoperable. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer to be inspected. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V437000 (Latches/Locks/Linkage) which she linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not under recall or warranty. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

I was on a road trip with my family and stopped at a gas station. When we were ready to leave I attempted to place the vehicle in drive but it was stuck in park (vehicle has a push button shifter) and multiple warnings started to show up including transmission disabled, blind spot monitoring disabled and one other warning that I can't recall. There were no prior warning signs and we did all of the recommended services. There were prior issues with the transmission not seeming to engage. You would press on the gas and nothing would happen (It almost seemed as if you were just cruising) and then, after a lengthy delay the transmission would suddenly engage. There was also some issues with the transmission slipping. We brought this up several times with different dealers and were always told that they couldn't replicate the issue and that there were no recalls on our vehicle.

The auto idle on my van has cause problems for over three years. I have reported this to our Honda dealership numerous times. The car dies when I am stopped and I try to take off. Everything in car shuts off - dashboard, A/C, radio, etc. When it does not all the way die when I try to go from a stop, all my collision mitigation warnings start flashing and a few times my car has braked itself. They have blamed it on my battery twice - once they replaced and the next time they made me pay for the battery. Then, they tried to blame it on the master computer switch because my door locks would just lock and unlock as I would drive down the road. They ordered the chip in February 2022 and finally replaced it in August 2022. The van has started locking and unlocking again, collision mitigation warnings go off for no reason, and auto idle is starting to kill the van again when I try to take off.

The PowerTrain in my car has been giving me nothing but headaches since I purchased it in January 2022. Multiple times at intersections, the car stalls and starts going backwards, causing me to put the car in park and restart it to go forward. The problem is so severe that it happens almost every time I come to a stop. It's not just inconvenient, it's downright dangerous. I can't even begin to describe the feeling of helplessness when my car starts reversing in the middle of a busy intersection with oncoming traffic heading my way. I have taken my car to the dealer multiple times and they have attempted to fix the issue by replacing the transmission and a camera, but these repairs have not resolved the problem. I even had to have my car towed back to my hometown after it stalled in Dallas. The dealer assures me that the problem has been fixed, but it continues to happen, and it's getting worse. Yesterday, on January 18, 2023, the issue occurred again while driving in slow traffic, nearly causing a collision with the car behind us. My family and I were put in a very dangerous situation, all because of this faulty PowerTrain. I have been to the dealer over 5 times and they have yet to fix the issue. I am beyond frustrated and disappointed with this car and the dealer's inability to resolve the problem. I am a loyal customer, and I expect better from a brand that I trust. This car needs to be recalled, and I demand that the dealer and the manufacturer take responsibility for their faulty product and take immediate action to rectify the situation. I should not have to continue living in fear every time I get behind the wheel of my car, and I should not have to continue to waste my time and money taking it to the dealer for repairs that don't work.

GOODMORNING, I bought my car honda Odyssey 2018 model, on August 20th, 2018, from Honda of Clearlake, in League City, TX, the day they opened new location, this car has been giving us trouble since then. when under warranty the sunroof motor became faulty. I agree that they repaired it but took more than a week to get repaired. The car has less than 30000 miles now, last year November when I was driving car started showing up multiple warning lights, and tail gate not closing and locking and took the car dealer service center and without proper multi point inspection they ruled out its poor battery and changed it. Within a week again the same problem started appearing, took the car to dealer service center and took almost more than week to do inspection and stated that, there is a faulty weld and leak on back tail gate hinges in car and water is seeping into electrical system which is on driver side rear in between plastic trim and main body. this caused a short circuit and multiple warning lights turning on. electrical system and carpets were damaged, and they recommended to change whole harness and electrical components which will be more than $6000.00 After a week they stated that it has a faulty caulk on roof were water seeping through, Honda of clear lake service advisor [XXX] agreed that he have come across multiple cars (3 or 4) in same dealer ship with same problems. nobody knows how many dealers service centers had same problem. This is clearly manufacturing defect and Honda corporate don't want to make this issue a recall. they agreed to replace components, but we have to pay the labor which we agreed, but it's been more than a month which they can't repair and give back our car. now I think this leak issue and the issue, I mentioned earlier (faulty sunroof motor) is somehow related. I would request you to probe an enquiry into this issue which, can be an electrical and fire hazard and rule out to be a recall from Honda side. Thanking you INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Own a 2018 Honda Odyssey Touring w/10 Speed Transmission just outside the powertrain warranty. The current Mileage is 115,863 miles. On 1/2/2023, while my wife was driving, she experienced severe jerking and gears slipping in Drive. The car continued to drive, but there was hesitation in gearing. The following day (1/3/2023), hesitation rapidly turned into the complete failure of the van to go into reverse. The car would not engage reverse, started blinking R, and was freewheeling like it was in neutral. Suddenly, the dash indicated transmission system failure + blind spot warning failure. All modes, Drive, Sport, Neutral, and Reverse, were flashing. Wife was able to get the van home, and I immediately took it to the dealership. The following morning, 1/4/2023 (today as of this writing), the dealership notified me the tech observed what he called “a death code,” indicating the transmission must be replaced. $11,000 repair is underway as of this writing. The problem is exactly similar to this reported and others in Odyssey Consumer Forums. It appears to be a Transmission Manufacturing Defect by Honda Car. Answers to questions: 1) Component Malfunction is Transmission System - and ADAS/Blind Spot. 2) Car was slipping and jerking on the motorway in the middle of high-speed traffic and trucks, endangering our safety. 3) Problem was reproduced 100% of the time personally and by the dealership personnel. 4) The dealer indicated a “death code” and that the transmission must be replaced. 5) Transmission system failure + blind spot warning failure, all modes, Drive, Sport, Neutral, and Reverse, were flashing the letter associated with the gear/mode selected.

The vehicle has a very significant delay in accelerating from a stop or slow roll. Often the delay is up to 2 or 3 seconds and has caused several near misses when attempting to cross traffic. It's inconvenient and more important, a safety problem. Upon research I have discovered it is a wide spread issue among Odysseys in this generation. It seems to be an issue with cars equipped with either the 9 speed or the 10 speed transmission.

Our van regularly hesitates when to accelerate from a stop. Example, when turning left across traffic, depressing the accelerator will provide some speed to get into the intersection, then it becomes unresponsive. Letting up and pushing the accelerator will cause the van to move again after about .5 to 1 seconds. Often the accelerator has to be pushed all the way to the floor, which causes the van to move aggressively once it does start to respond causing the tires to spin out. This has been happening since the vehicle was under warranty, however, the dealer wasn’t able to find an issue. While the performance issue is annoying, this becomes a safety issue when stranded out in traffic. There are no service lights on before, during or after the incidents. It seems to happen more in winter, but we have experienced it throughout the seasons. It also occurs whether eco mode is on or off.

Power rear sliding door will not close properly.

The transmission does not accelerate properly from a rolling stop. When at a stop and slightly depressing of the accelerator to get the vehicle moving prior to making a turn (for example), if you take slight pressure off the accelerator pedal the vehicle will not accelerate until the engine RPM's fall below 1,000RPM. This causes a slight delay in acceleration as the vehicle is rolling but unable to accelerate. This poses a collision risk from oncoming traffic. I reported this issue multiple times with my local Honda dealership and was told each time that there was no issue, this is normal for a Honda and "this is a known issue with no fix". Three times with three different excuses. This has been occurring from around 30K miles and continues today with 72K miles. There are no warnings or lights. The dealer has reprogrammed the transmission computer and I have paid for a transmission fluid change hoping for improvement but nothing has worked. I have sent a message to Honda Motors about 4-6 months ago and has not heard a response from corporate or the dealership.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a collision mitigation system message would flash on the instrument panel without incident. Recently, the contact stated that while his wife was driving the vehicle, the warning message repeatedly flashed on the screen before the entire instrument panel went blank. The contact called multiple dealers about the failure but had not yet schedule an appointment for the vehicle to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

Vehicle suddenly shifts to Nuetral when driving forward at approximately 30mph to 55mph. The Collision warning system and the Emergency Braking system then shows falt/inoperative on the information display. This is an extremely dangerous situation that causes the vehicle to suddenly lose forward power.

The transmission has intermittent harsh or jerky upshifts with steady acceleration, or the MIL comes on with DTC P0716. Abnormal TCM adaptation values or a miscalculation in the TCM software causes the MIL to come on with DTC P0716. The harsh upshifts cause a momentary driver distraction which may cause an accident.

Both the dashboard and the computer shut down randomly, different warning signs pop up intermittently and the wheel locks up for a short time. It happens while driving at unpredictable times. It happened on the highway at the speed of 65 mph. and the vehicle is temporarily is not under driver’s control. Yes, I took the vehicle for repair 3 times. Yes, the certified car dealership had identified different issues but none of them had fixed the problem. No, not by insurance or the manufacturer. No, no warning signs prior. First it happened in July, 2022

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and depressing the accelerator pedal, the transmission failed to operate as needed and was shifting hard. Additionally, the vehicle would hesitate to respond and there was an abnormal loud mechanical sound coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed a Transmission Control Module (TCM) software update. However, the failures persisted. The contact also stated that the vehicle would jerk and would shudder when depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that the rear driver's side and passenger's side sliding doors would reopen independently after being closed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 50,000.

While attempting to cross a road the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating. This happened after entering the roadway with heavy traffic and my family in the vehicle, I pressed the accelerator pedal all the way down nothing. Then after a brief 5sec of fear the vehicle jerks into gear making everyone slam back into their seats. This has been reported by many owners on various forums, some of which were in accidents. This will not end well for a few drivers and their families. Honda technicians try and diagnosing this with no luck, said” I’ve never seen this issue, 64K miles great condition no damages to the transmission core unfortunately we are 4K miles over warranty!? At here is a recall for very similar issues same VF 9 speed transmission but my vin didn’t fall under the recall, American Honda said they weren’t going to help because I didn’t have “customer loyalty” I’m asking the technician to dissemble the transmission and take a bunch of pictures to try and help explain how this happened and how to avoid this from happening again because next time we may not be so luck.

The rear view camera on this car is defective. Honda and the dealership appear to be playing games with customers stating that they will get this dealt with but no ETA has been forthcoming the whole of 2022.

After having the odyssey repaired for the recall rear passenger door latches, the rear passenger door still continues to open randomly, it has happened on multiple occasions while the vehicle is parked (at a park) with no one near the vehicle, at least twice since the repair while the vehicle is going between the speeds of 35-45 mph the rear passenger door on the driver side slides open.

When the pedal is pressed, there is a delay in acceleration. This has happened several times over the past couple of months. It seems to happen mostly when trying to make a left-hand turn, typically at low speeds or from a stop. I will have time to make a safe left turn, but the unexpected delay in acceleration has created dangerous situations and has almost caused accidents. I'm not sure what's causing it because I can't re-create on-demand. The car has been well maintained and no error codes or warning lights are on.

Auto idle system engaged when the car was stopped waiting for a train to pass last night. When I took my foot off the brake to move forward, the car completely went dead. No engine start up after auto idle, no electrical system available for emergency flasher lights. No response from the van at all. This put us at considerable safety risk when we could not process through traffic, at night, on a dark country road. A kind passerby attempted to jump start the car for us and while the electrical system came back on momentarily, the engine would not turn over. After five attempts to jump start the van, we stopped trying. There was zero response from the van after that. We purchased this vehicle brand new in December of 2017. It has had electrical issues ever since the day we bought it. We have reported this to our Honda dealer several times over the course of the past 4+ years. Initially, the auto idle never worked. Then the sliding doors wouldn't shut all the way, reliably. They continue to cause issues and won't close all the way, without popping back open, about 60% of the time. The radio and entertainment center has malfunctioned. The collision warning has malfunctioned and alerts at times when there is nothing in the way of the vehicle. It has been several electrical issues after another. We have had multiple new batteries installed over the past 4+ years. Last night was the absolute greatest risk to our family's safety. The vehicle has experienced this "black out"/stall another time in the past year, but was temporary and came back on after a full restart of the engine. Last night, however, there was no hope to restart. The van was completely seized up and a tow truck had to drag it onto its flatbed truck, assuredly damaging our tires and transmission, potentially. We will have to have the van towed to the Honda dealer Monday morning (this incident happened last night, Saturday Oct 1, 2022.). Now we are without our primary family vehicle.

I have an 2018 Odyssey Touring that apparently has a problem with the auto-idle stop while driving at slow speeds, many times (2 to 6 times a day) for a few weeks now. It starts with a weird noise (like a loud record scratch) through the speakers, then engine turns off, dash and radio shuts off too and immediately everything turns on again. Car don’t go to park, it stays on drive mode. Sometimes I was able to read different messages on the dashboard or radio about “Collition mitigation system” “anti theft system” and sometimes “loading” appears on the radio screen. This messages disappear quickly. Before this problems happened, the DVD rear screen stopped working (it’s completely black) while the DVD can be heard playing on the speakers. Don’t know if the two issues are related. I'm worried this can cause the car to stop at higher speeds and cause an accident, my wife usually drives this car with the kids with her. I took the car to a Honda dealership, they run diagnostic tests and it doesn't show anything. I left the car at the dealership, they will try to replicate the problem to understand what is happening.

On at least 3 occasions, the "Auto Engine Idle Stop" has caused my vehicle to completely die while stopped at a stop light. When the car shuts off/dies, the system prompts you to shift the car in park and restart the car, but on these occasions, the car did not start, leaving me stalled in active traffic. I felt very unsafe to be stalled with no way to operate the vehicle. The dealership checked the battery to ensure it wasn't a battery issue and found it to be completely fine. At the time we did not realize that it could be a problem with the Auto Engine Idle Stop feature, otherwise we would've had them check that system specifically. Further research from other customer forums online prompted us to turn this feature off, but we have to do that every time we start the car. There is no way for us to turn it off permanently. The car gives you no warning that this will happen. When you remove your foot from the break to resume driving, the car shuts off without immediately restarting, leaving you stranded. I am hoping that Honda will issue a recall on affected models. At this point they aren't offering any help other than to tell us to turn it off, but you have to remember to do that every time you start your vehicle.

engine reves , no forward movement. Happened the first time on 80/94 east bound (traffic slowed @ 34-36 mph). 4 times now in the last two years. Seems that the speed is always the same when it happens. , into Community Honda, Orland Park, IL . They say no problem . No warning signals. Husband with me the last time it happened Sept. 2, 2022 definately something dangerously wrong.

The automatic emergency braking system has failed multiple times. The vehicle is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others are put at risk when my vehicle executes unexpected emergency braking. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by the dealer on two different occasions. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives of other, except the Honda dealer. No other warning lamps, messages of other symptoms. Around Feb 1, 2019 the car started applying the brakes when crossing slightly raised railroad tracks. The braking action was hard enough to engage the antilock brake feature. On 2/11/19 the vehicle was taken to AutoWest Honda for warranty repairs at 22,853 miles. The millimeter radar was mis-aimed. This corrected the problem. See attached repair order. On 9/21/20 while driving on the freeway at approximately 65 miles per hour the automatic emergency braking system activated as I passed a vehicle on the right. There were no vehicles in front of me. Braking was again hard enough to activate the anti lock brake system. The vehicle behind me just taped my car. Only a tiny nick was put in my bumper. On 9/22/20 i returned the vehicle to AutoWest Honda. The car had 47,655 miles on the odometer. It was found that the millimeter radar was mis-aligned again. It was realigned free of charge and all was well for the next 22,000 or so miles. On or about 8/25/22, with approximately 66,000 miles on the odometer the automatic emergency braking system activated at about 65 miles per hour as I was passing a vehicle on the right. Again the anti lock braking system activated. The vehicle behind me did not hit my vehicle, but was apparently hit from behind as I saw at least one vehicle run off into the ditch as I looked in my rearview mirror. I believe this to be a design defect in the vehicle The mis-alignment of the millimeter radar appears to be an ongoing problem about every 22,000 miles

My 2018 Honda Odyssey elite 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 regarding the issue and have been dealing with Honda headquarters with no resolution. 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.

It is very common for the vehicle model to experience water intrusion toward the back lift gate because of rain. This can cause electric problems with the vehicle that can result in property damage or death. Airbags may not deploy due to water damage as well. Theses vehicles should be recalled as soon as possible. Most owner are not aware of this issue because they park vans in a garage. Please investigate this matter and issue a recall

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while attempting to accelerate, there was a delay in response from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure however, the TCM module software was updated and the vehicle operated normally. The contact stated the dealer informed him that the failure could reoccur. The manufacturer was contacted and suggested that the vehicle be diagnosed by the dealer. The failure mileage was 17,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated during acceleration with the transmission message displayed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The dealer informed the contact that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to a transmission specialist who related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V299000 (Power Train, Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.

Vehicle keeps turning on accessory mode uncommanded. Resulting in draining battery. Battery is then recharged and process starts over again. Took vehicle to Honda dealership for diagnosis. Dealership diagnosed tailgate control module. Disconnected all connections to that module and problem persists. Constant discharge and recharge of battery presents a fire hazard. A automotive/mechanical engineer evaluated the problem, suggested it was the body control module and highly recommended I not park my vehicle in my attached garage until the problem is resolved.

The automatic tail gate hatch closes when its fully open. It will close while under it and bumps your head if you're not careful. I have bumped my head a few times. Nothing serious enough to see a doctor but it happens 95% of the time the gate is opened. I reported this to Honda dealer where I purchased the vehicle over two years ago before COVID but it doesn't seem to concern them.

My wife was waiting outside in our vehicle with our kids while I was running an errand. She stated that she went to move the car and as she put it in reverse, the car rolled forward and automatically engaged itself into park. Then she stated that the van also started sputtering and shaking. She shut it off and got our kids out of the car. When I got back to the car, she was explaining it to me. I then started to troubleshoot by checking for blown fuses, bad battery connections and etc. Everything appeared as it should be. I turned the car on to the accessory mode, and it was throwing almost every code possible if not all of them. It showed emissions system, abs systems, hill start and several others. With the car still in accessory mode, I noticed the radiator fans were not coming on as they should have. Also the engine bay was hot, as in the air filter housing was hot enough that you could not keep your hand on it. After letting it cool down, I inspected the battery terminals again for any loose connections and could not find anything. We ended up having to get a tow truck to tow it to a shop to get it worked on. The van has 73k miles on it. The vehicle would not go into gear for us. It was also sputtering when running. It sounds like an electrical issue.

The component that is giving me issues is the power liftgate. As I have been driving down the road, it has unlocked and opened even at a stoplight. And would go up and down up and down until finally it runs the battery completely dead. I have taken it to Honda. They did not know what’s causing it. I am taking it now to another service dealer. to see if he can fix it. I’m in hopes that he can do something. But upon reviewing other complaints online, this has been an issue for other people. That could cause a lot of safety issues for anyone around the vehicle or driving the vehicle.

i was backing up and the camera failed to warning me of people walking behind me or the vehicle passing

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the passenger’s side air bags deployed without warning or a crash. The contact was able to pull over safely. The contact’s daughter was injured and taken to the hospital to seek medical assistance. The vehicle was towed to a Collison Center and then towed to the dealer. The dealer and the manufacturer were contacted and notified the contact of a hole under the subframe of the vehicle. The contact was informed that the repair would be an out-of-pocket expense. The failure mileage was 135,000.

While attempting to cross a road the vehicle suddenly will not accelerate. This happened after entering the roadway with cross traffic coming at you. This happens more and more frequently and seems to occur after the vehicle initially rolls out from a stop or after coasting at low speed. If you press the accelerator pedal all the way nothing happens and you panic as traffic comes barreling towards you. Then after a brief moment of fear the vehicle jerks into gear making everyone slam back into their seats. This has been reported by many owners on various forums, some of which were in accidents. This will not end well for a few drivers and their families. Honda technicians when diagnosing this complaint say No Trouble Found or do not have a repair or recall for this.

I have taken my Honda to the dealership on multiple occasions, regarding lack of acceleration, after a complete stop. The engine does not engage after pushing the pedal down, so that my vehicle can move. It has a very long delay after coming to a stop. This is a huge safety concern, considering when making a right turn, and perceiving there is enough time to accelerate my vehicle, before another oncoming vehicle, there is a delay a potential accident will occur. This should never happen and my family has been in multiple situations where there was almost an accident. I love my Honda but this safety concern has made me rethink and potentially inform others of this matter. Please help me find a solution to this problem. I even purchased an extended warranty I hopes there may be a solution, but I’m beginning to lose hope. I have a family of 7, and I shouldn’t fear having to drive a stock vehicle, that my families life may be in danger due to this faulty engine delay. Please help a pleading father feel safe. Thank you and I hope to hear a response.

When coming to a stop, usually in stop / go traffic and at times when coming to a complete stop, the auto-idle stop kicks in, but then immediately shuts the engine down and shifts vehicle into park. Vehicle has to be entirely shut down and restarted to bring the engine back. We have been taking the vehicle to the dealership since we bought it a couple of years ago. Seems to be mostly occurring in warm summer months. Also affects the audio entertainment, all sounds stop. And after the most recent repair by the dealership (replacing the tuner), the display screen will not come on for 10-15 min when first starting the vehicle (including the back-up cam and warnings)

Own a 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite w/10 Speed Transmission that is still under powertrain warranty. Current Mileage is approx 51,400 miles. On 06/23 while driving on I-680 south bound driving my kids to school - experienced severe jerking and gears slipping in Drive. Car continued to drive, but there was hesitation in gearing. As a precaution decided to pull over and stopped the vehicle in Milpitas, CA. On restart the car was completely stalled, The car would not engage in "Reverse" gear and on pressing accelerator it seemed like it was in Neutral. All modes, Drive, Sport, Neutral and Reverse were flashing and got a warning in the dashboard saying "Transmission System Problem/Blind Spot Info System Problem". Also see this thread. https://www.odyclub.com/threads/2020-ex-l-10-speed-transmission-failure-at-11k-miles.358491/ - Problem exactly similar to this reported and others in Odyssey Consumer Forums. Looks like Transmission Manufacturing Defect by Honda Car totally endangered my and my 3 kids safety today and we fell lucky we did not stall on the highway. Answers to questions: 1) Component Malfunction is Transmission System - and ADAS/Blind Spot 2) Car was slipping and jerking on the Highway 680S in the middle of high speed traffic and trucks endangering our safety. Car completely stalled and was not drivable after pull over. 3) Problem reproduced 100% of the time on 06/23. Towed the car to nearby Honda Delaer. Awaiting further Diagnosis 4) Car has been towed to Envision Honda of Milpitas, CA and no further info received on root cause. Created case with Honda Automobiles. Case #13101086 5) Yes warnings in dashboards - recorded video - see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cImyqZl5cc.

Auto restart feature when enabled did not restart vehicle after coming to a stop at stoplight on multiple occasions in the last few months rendering vehicle unable to proceed. We recently saw news article about same issue with Pilots.

I was driving on the freeway at 60mph and the all dashboard notification lights started flickering (lane departure warning, odometer, blind spot warning, etc) and the car went from drive to neutral. This occurred twice while i was on the freeway on 6/6/22. This has also occurred twice before.

Anytime the temperature is below freezing (32F), the infotainment system fails to boot. This prevents us from properly defrosting windows for visibility, or using the rear-view camera while backing, or accessing many of the other features of the vehicle that are controlled by the infotainment unit. The lack of a rear-view camera is especially concerning on a van with otherwise poor rearward visibility through mirrors. Many people have car seats in their mini-van which further obstructs rearward visibility without the camera. We have visited the dealer numerous times for a fix for this issue, and there either is none, or Honda's dealers arent interested in fixing it. Essentially, we are without most of the vehicles advanced features whenever it is cold outside.

Sliding door not latching all of the way, opening and closing on its own

Driver and Passenger Sliding Doors have issues closing sometimes. It would close ranging from 70% to 90% of the way, and then slide back open. This happens occasionally enough to not have confidence in the doors consistently closing. We made sure there were no obstructions to the door, as well as nothing preventing the sliding rail roller from completing full movement. The family would have to attempt to shut it several failed attempts, sometimes up to as much as 10 x times, until it closes. This happens randomly to both driver and passenger sliding doors. This happens every thousand miles or so, and has happened since owning the vehicle. Recall was previously performed on the sliding doors for a seperate issue, but this issue still persist, and am pretty much sure it will continue to happen through the life of the van.

In lower gears, there is hesitation when accelerating which causes driver to unknowing lurch forward. Sometimes peeling out. In stop and go traffic, the van does not accelerate for a few seconds when gas pedal is pressed. There is sometimes a clunking sound which causes van to lurch when accelerating at a lower gear which feels like someone has hit my van from behind. It is a safety issue because I don’t know if the van will accelerate or not right away when I press the gas pedal.

Transmission delays in shifting from neutral to first on acceleration, when it engages it finally squeals the tires. Also at around 25 miles an hour it club is into the next gear and the whole car shudders. It is a safety issue and makes crossing roads scary. It has been looked at multiple (4?) times by different Honda dealers and they always reply it is functioning normally. There are no warning lamps or errors showing on the instruments but it is not normal.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN SUDDENLY THE ACC, LKAS, BLIND SPOT, LANE DEPARTURE, WENT ON. ALSO I PARKED MY VEHICLE THEN THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM INDICATOR WENT ON. TOOK IT TO HONDA WAS TOLD IF ITS DRIVEABLE ITS FINE. SO I LEFT. PUT GAS WHICH THE RANGE READ 130 MILES TIL EMPTY HAVE WAY DOWN THE BLOCK I SUDDENLY HAD 121 MILES TIL EMPTY. THERES NO WAY I DROVE 9 MILES.

My transmission on my 2018 Honda Odyssey has failed multiple times since I have owned the vehicle. I have brought this safety issue up to the dealer multiple times and nothing has been done to fix the complaint. My safety concerns have been ignored by Honda. The vehicle is shifting into park while it is moving creating a safety risk for my family and I. You can feel the entire car shift gears while driving and the vehicle shifts/accelerates forward on its own without pressing on the gas. I have almost hit the person in front of me when the car shift gears and accelerated on its own. The problem has been recently noticed by the dealership as well. The transmission warning lights did not come on prior to all of the failures. The transmission warning lights came on for the first time on 04/17/22, which was way after all the problems started occurring. Another safety concern that I have is my passenger side sliding back door will pop open while driving and often will not close. This has been witnessed by others in my child's car line. I have to pull over, stop the engine and restart the vehicle to get the door to close. This is a safety concern when I have a child sitting next to a door that opens while the vehicle is in motion.

My sunroof exploded while driving on the interstate. Nothing hit the car.

Like many others, I am experiencing hard shifts between the 25-30 mph range. The downshifting is also very hard. While I don’t hear clunking like I do with a gear shift, it will jerk down to a gear that seems too low and almost feels like the brakes are being applied when they are not. The most terrifying issue is the lag time between gas being applied. My engine remains idle and then jolts forward. This has almost caused an accident with oncoming traffic when I am trying to turn left. I beg of you to research this for a possible recall. Since it isn’t a constant issue, Honda says it runs normal and nothing is wrong.

Merging from west bound I-40 to south bound I-15, there was a slight incline. I accelerated to merge and change lane from 4 to 3, the van suddenly lost power. Engine was running and I could hear it rev up but transmission seemed to not have engaged. The car decelerated to almost 50 mph forcing me to move back to lane 4 in order to avoid being hit by an incoming 18-wheeler. It's most likely an transmission issue of old with Honda. The vehicle regained power after I let go of gas pedal for about 4-5 seconds. It happened again on I-40 near Flagstaff at high speed on my way home to Dallas from SoCal on Jan 2nd. To lose available power to wheels at high rate of speed, it's surely a safety hazzard. I don't feel safe to allow my wife to drive the vehicle. Please help investigate.

I have had 4 incidents where I was in heavy traffic and acceleration onto a busy freeway from a ramp and when I merged into heavy traffic, my car quit! Suddenly I had no power and was slowing down rapidly. The driver behind me got no warning brake lights and I had no place to go. Needless to say I was greeted with a loud long horn blast and luckily not the expected crash sound I was expecting. It took 3 to 5 seconds for my transmission to get back in gear and generate power. At 70 miles an hour you travel quite a distance in 3 to 5 seconds. The scariest incident was on a crowded four lane divided highway. I pulled out to pass a slow moving semi truck and as soon as I got into the faster crowded lane, the car lost power again. This time I had a semi truck barreling down on me and and one to my right side. Fortunately, the truck was able to slow down and not hit me, but again the long horn blast was accompanied by a rude gesture. If any of these incidents had resulted in an accident I probably would not have survived to even explain the cars malfunction. This is totally unpredictable and not reproducible. We took the car into a Honda dealership and reported the problem and were told they drove it and couldn't reproduce the problem and it was fine. I strongly suspect there have been multiple incidents where people were not as fortunate as I was and the failure resulted in serious rear end collisions. It would be interesting to see if Honda vehicles with this year CVT have seen an increase in rear end collisions. I hope I am not a victim of a fatal collision due to this defect, but I can't help but feel nervous any time I am merging into traffic or passing in heavy traffic. This problem has been reported before by others as a quick internet search confirms. It would be a very expensive recall for Honda, but what price do you put on safety and a human life. Friends have suggested I get a different vehicle. I can't afford this in today's economy.

After leasing our car for less than 1 year - the power liftgate malfunctioned (which coincidentally there had been a recall in the past on our honda odyssey 2009 for appears to be the exact same issue.) It seems to be exactly the same thing happening again with the 2018 model we have now. So that the trunk won't open by itself. So for the past few years we had too manually lift the trunk and it's extremely heavy to lift and slow and can bang you in the head because it does not lift very high. If this wasn't bad enough a month ago the electrical power/fuse to even accomplish what I just explained electrically shorted for no reasonable explanation. So that my husband has to quite literally climb through the two rows of seats take the plastic off permanently on the manual/nonelectric trunk release from the inside of the car in order to get our trunk door to open at all. The outside of the car electrical button has no electricity running in it at all. This is terrible for a family of 5 children. There haven't been any recalls on this and I'm sure it'll be quite expensive to replace. Please look into this issue for us please. Thank you kindly. Please see below the recall in 2009 that should also be for the 2018 model as well. HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 ODYSSEY VEHICLES, THE GAS-FILLED STRUTS THAT HELP TO RAISE AND SUPPORT THE LIFTGATE OF VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM MAY BE PRONE TO EARLY LIFE FAILURES DUE TO A MANUFACTURING FLAW. THE FLAW CAN RESULT IN A LEAK OF THE PRESSURIZED GAS, LEADING TO REDUCED STRUT PERFORMANCE.

STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. GAS LEAKING ON TO THE ENGINE BY EITHER THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL INJECTORS. FUEL INJECTORS WERE PURPORTED REPLACED IN APRIL OF 2021.

Four years ago I bought this vehicle, immediately from day one, up until today, the automatic braking system slams on the brake randomly for no reason, sometimes even on highways. I contacted Honda several times and they offered no fix to this. Since the first week of owning the car, up by until today, I need to disable this feature EACH and EVERY time I start the car. The few times I forget, the sudden braking reminds me. I am shocked NHTSA has not investigated this.

The driver side sliding door will open automatically but will not close. Gives me 3 beeps and doesnt attempt to close. I unplugged the pinch sensor and checked to see if that was the problem but the pinch sensor works as its supposed to. When I plug the pinch sensor back in the motor works to close for a little while but will eventually stop closing soon after. I have repeated this step multiple times and get the same results. The door has done this every now and then up until the last time they did a software update and now it almost always does this.

The engine was making a chirping noise that was heard from within the cabin. The service department of the Honda dealer verified with Honda that the noise was due to a timing belt chirp, per Honda Service Bulletin(SB) 16-054, which applied to the year, make and model of the automobile. The SB indicates that the timing belt idler pulley is too close to the crankshaft pulley, which cause the timing belt to contact the back edge of the crankshaft pulley. This is a 2018 model with less than 14000 miles. The indication is that the belt will fail prematurely, besides making a noise that is quite distracting to the driver. Certainly, this is a design flaw needing the manufacture to recall and fix this well known and common problem with this vehicle.

The infotainment screen went dark during the trip causing loss of navigation guidance, loss of safety features such as back up camera and rear cross traffic warning. It caused loss of climate control as well as every single option related to and/or activated via infotainment display (WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth function, Navigation, etc..)

Backup camera stopped displaying and cross traffic monitor non functional. No warning or impaired function before system failure. All fuses checked OK.

Passenger sliding doors will freeze in process of closing. Must manually disengage power feature and reset door to fully close. Door will be anywhere from 80% to 95% closed when it fails.

The Touring and Elite trim levels on the Honda Odyssey have 'rain sensing' wipers, as well as a low, high, and one-wipe function. The rain sensing function cannot be disabled, and takes the place of any intermittent feature. The rain sensing is always on and not disableable, unlike other vehicles that allow the operator to choose whether or not to use the feature, or simply set intermittent wipe speed manually. Honda's rain sensing function simply does not work, making the wipers go full speed in light mist or not work at all in heavy rain. Due to the fact the rain sensing function cannot be disabled, operators are either stuck with wipers off or on continual speed. This is both distracting as operators either must manually flick the wiper stalk for a one-wipe function in light rain every few seconds, or run the wipers continually, causing streaking and difficult visibility in lighter rain or snow events. This problem is well-documented on Odyssey and Civic forums, and I have purchased and replaced the rain sensor with no change in system performance. It's shocking Honda cannot allow a user to simply disable the feature via a software menu like almost every other manufacturer.

I removed the car seat cover to wash and discovered there was a crack in the hard foam of the head piece. It completely separated the two side of the headpiece and the side was coming away from the hard plastic base on one side. When I removed the cover completely, half of the head rest piece fell off. This is the 2nd Chicco MyFit car seat that I have had because the first one was replaced under warranty for this very same problem. The biggest issue is that the foam is breaking and coming loose underneath the cover so I don't know how long it has been like this. This compromises the safety of my child if we were to get in an accident. The head protection is obviously important, especially in a side impact crash but with the hard foam broken in half, it is useless.

Car had 60,000 miles when my wife was driving and stopped on a red light the car never moved again, check engine light turned on and the car put itself in park, she couldn't shift to drive or reverse. The transmission stopped working, no prior notifications, no weird noises it just stop working, I got to her and tried everything but I had to eventually tow it to the dealership. After a week of troubleshooting we were told a new transmission was needed, at 60K Miles! Thank god I opted for the extended warranty and only had to pay $800 of deductible, if not it would have been a $8K repair, it is unacceptable that a transmission stop working at 60K Miles!

The transmission started shifting hard on November 20th, 2021 while driving 60-70 mph on the interstate. I was on a Thanksgiving trip (Indianapolis, IN to Venice, FL) with my wife and three kids ages 8, 6, and 4. We were on I-75 north of Atlanta when the transmission shifted hard up and down around 2000 rpm. After about four hard shifts the van lost the ability to accelerate (no amount of throttle increased vehicle speed); no dash indicators or warnings. At the time we were going around 60-70 mph when we lost acceleration and I had to coast the van to the side of the road through the northern Atlanta traffic. The transmission did come back and I was able to get of the next exit and take the van to the Honda dealer. The transmission continued to hard shift on the approximately 15 minute drive to the dealer. I did leave the van with the dealer, but before I left I tried to put the van in reverse and it would not move. The dash and button suggested I was in reverse but there was no function, and at that time I got a transmission problem warning. Prior to trying to reverse the vehicle I did not get a warning. So while on the interstate when it was a real problem the vehicle did not give any indication of what was wrong; so I’m glad I was driving and not my wife or someone less capable in a dangerous driving situation. Honda looked at the van on Monday November 22nd and told me I needed a new transmission at a cost of $9,300. The van was purchased in March of 2018 and currently has around 69k miles on it. I don’t believe anyone would agree that a transmission replacement at 69k miles is acceptable. This transmission failure is on top of the RES problems that have persisted for multiple years now. If Honda doesn’t contribute financially to the transmission repair, I have no reason to buy another Honda. My van has been nothing but problems. The RES is unreliable for the family and the transmission failure left us stranded 500 miles from home.

Car started showing all kind of errors before the milleage waranty went out, one day when car was started, we saw the following errors scroll through the dash: Road Departure mitigation system problem Power Steering System EPS problem VSA Vehicle stability assist problem Hill start assist problem Brake system error Brake Hold system problem Brake system problem I have taken the car in for these issues 3 times at a local dealership and nothing was found as a reason for the issue, they just "rolled" the errors to clear them and that seems to work for a few months. When these errors happen the car is not fully responsive and becomes a safety hazard in my view, not having all the safety features available while driving the car in this error mode is dangerous for me and my family these will happen every once in a while, and the most recent happening was today 11/19/2021.

When making left or right turns from completed stops, the car some time hesitates to move or to speed up for short 2-3 seconds. This could cause accident between my car and in coming trafic.

The transmission will occasionally not engage in gear in situations where the driver is accelerating slowly from a stop, and then has to let up on the accelerator as to let a car pass, and then applying pressure on the accelerator again. The minivan will stall, not because the engine died, but because the transmission will not engage in gear. It will then jerk in gear causing the tires to lose traction since the engine is reving. The last times this occurred was Nov. 1 and 2, 2021. On Nov. 1st when I was leaving a driveway, I paused to let a car cross in front on me and then attempted to accelerate onto the intersection in front of a semi. The minivan wouldn’t move since it wouldn’t engage in gear. My daughter was screaming at me since the semi was barreling down. The transmission then slammed in gear, tires screeched, and the minivan accelerated. I took the minivan to a Honda dealer on Oct. 1,2021, but they couldn’t find anything. They checked software and DTC and no codes stored or active. This transmission issue has occurred occasionally since the minivan was new but has become much more frequent in the last three or four months.

My husband was driving our 2018 Honda Odyssey Van when he hit a deer and the airbags came out and my hearing was permanently damaged. I had taken a hearing test during the year before the accident and have hearing results after the accident. I have been told by two specialists that nothing can be done to repair the damage to my ears. It has been suggested that the air bags shouldn't have come out. Hitting the deer made a bad situation but the air bags coming out made a bad situation much worse. We had hit deer before and it never made the air bags come out which was absolutely not necessary in this situation. My leg was also cut and bruised by the air bag and I went to the emergency room for treatment.

Sunroof shattered at highway speed without warning. No previous cracks in the window. All windows were rolled up an closed, conditions were dry, there was no immediate debris that caused the issue.

The contact's parents own a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the gear shifter was shifted to drive however, the vehicle failed to move. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission software needed to be reset. The contact stated that the transmission software was reset however, the vehicle stalled inadvertently while driving. The warning message "Do Not Drive, Transmission Trouble" and several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed back to the dealer who reset the transmission software however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed back to the dealer for the third time and the transmission software was reset; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to a second dealer who informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure recurred, and the vehicle was towed back to the second dealer who diagnosed that the transmission had failed. The contact stated that the transmission was replaced however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.

There is a chirping coming from the engine area with the engine warmed up AND NOW IS RATTLING UNDER NEATH THE VAN

The transmission stalls and doesn’t shift into different gears or takes a long time to shift while letting the car roll (almost causing accidents as I have no control) The van also rolled back on its own down my driveway while I was trying to park and wouldn’t go into gear until I was able to get a complete stop. The speed is also affected as it will not speed up when Pulling out from a stop And then it will speed too fast which makes it hard to not get hit by traffic going at a steady speed. This is not a one time incident, it’s now a non stop issue every time I drive. This happens at all speeds and now can not drive past 50 mph without the engine revving.

1. The battery died after sitting still for 2.5 hours on the inserstate. (A tractor trailer had jackknifed stalling traffic). The van had been turned off after 20 mins. When traffic started moving again, the van would not start. The battery was too drained to even be jumped. People offered to help push it to the emergency lane but there was no way to get it into neutral to move it, because it has gear shifter buttons which were also disabled. 2. It was 10 pm and on a pitch black interstate in the pouring rain. It sat in the moving lane of traffic, which had picked back up to normal interstate speed, for about 25 mins until cops got there to park behind it with their lights on waiting for a tow truck. Before the cops got there, cars, tractor trailers, etc. were coming up on it rather suddenly b/c they couldn’t see it in the lane of traffic, they were dodging it left and right at full speeds. 3. The vehicle was towed that night and then the following day to our local honda dealer where they couldn’t determine why the battery had been drained, and confirmed it was too dead to have even been jumped. We never got an answer as to why it died. My husband had me tell him about the evening and basically re-enacted it. We believe it was the fact that even after the van was turned off after 20 mins of sitting there, that the driver door had not been opened once and that it dying had something to do with the anti theft system. We reported these findings to our local service dept. 4. There were no warnings that it had died because it had been turned off for over 2 hours, the driver door had never been opened. This happened in September, 2018. It was a very scary event and I didn’t want to keep the vehicle knowing there is no way to get it into neutral when it’s that dead. (The service dept confirmed that and when I asked a salesman about it, he was puzzled, also confirmed that he does not know of a way to get it into neutral once dead.)

Vehicle leaking water on backside and is causing electric issues. One of the issue is rear lift gate malfunctioning. The hatching opening on its own etc which is a safety risk.The dealer repaired this under warranty and they issue came back again almost four times so far. Now dealer is saying the issue is due to leaking water from top which they mentioned after vehicle went out of warranty and asking to contact body shop to identify the leak. The honda dealer not fixing the issue now. Please check if you received similiar issue and help with me regarding the same.

This is regarding the sliding door recall that happened a few months ago. Honda replaced it via recall. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:20V-437 MFR CAMPAIGN ID: A88 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION:2018-20 Ody Sliding Door Outer Handle Cables Safety Recall RECALL DATE:07/28/2020 After getting this fixed by Honda, now while driving the car at a certain speed, the System would throw error information, that the right slide door has not closed properly. Even the door is locked, The error is not constant, but it gives errors on and off while driving. This creates confusion for the driver while the vehicle is moving. I guess the recall fix has caused further damage to the sliding door. I have a kid and it concerns me the safety of kids who sit closer to the door. Would like you guys to take a look at this ASAP before a disaster occurs.

My car stopped me in the middle of the road and went into parking, next it showed transmission something on the screen... I turned off the ignition and turned it back on after about 15mins And I was able to drive off .. It was then I went online to check what caused it and realized there's a recall on that and I didn't get mail or an email about that

I have the car in service for the second time related to errors and issues around Adaptive cruise control, automatic breaking, and collision assist. On a couple occasions the auto braking system engages when there is no need.

The fuel pipe set, fuel joint connecting the high pressure fuel pump to fuel rail was leaking gasoline. When the car is stopped at a light, the gas vapor would be evident around the front of the car and be pulled into the cabin through the vents when not in recirculation mode. The gasoline vapor odor were clearly evident when walking, standing outside the front of the vehicle. The car could have caught fire with leaking fuel from top of the engine. There were no prior engine repairs done to the vehicle, thus a factory defect. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. This leak first occurred during a long 7 hour road trip. Dealer confirmed leak and replaced defective pipe set, fuel joint. Saved defective part.

The plastic seatbelt buckle in the third row cracked apart. No one damaged this buckle, the vehicle was not in a crash, it appears to be defective.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 40-50 MPH, the warning message "Brake Problem Failure" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who tests drove the vehicle and informed the contact that they could not determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring upon starting and driving the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure started occurring after an unknown recall repair had been completed on the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 36,170.

My 2018 Odyssey at 62000 mileage right now, there is happen a lot of delayed response when accelerating, then start fast, it was scary while I am at middle of intersection waiting for left turn, or at stop site and or red lights. Is this an SAFETY ISSUE? I feel somedays I may get hit accident from this issue.

The automatic lock on the driver side sliding door fails to automatically unlock. The only way to unlock that door now is to awkwardly reach behind the driver's door. It feels unsafe because in the event of an emergency it could take extra time to unlock and open that rear door to assist children in the back of the vehicle. I bought this vehicle new about 3 and 1/2 years ago and have performed all scheduled maintenance. A local Honda dealer inspected the vehicle and determined that there was corrosion in the fusebox/harness and that it would need to be replaced. The quote for parts/labor was more than $5000. It's unknown if other electrical failures will appear at a later date. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The problem first appeared about a month ago.

The transmission on this vehicle is super jerky when accelerating at low rates of speed and decelerating. The extreme concern is when accelerating from being completely stopped. More than once I have almost been in a major accident because when I pushed the accelerator the vehicle took a second or two to begin and once it accelerated it was extreme to the point of spinning the wheels and the vehicle being moved too late and in the middle of an intersection with a vehicle headed right towards us. If the car had accelerated when the gas was pushed like it should I would have not been in this predicament. This is very concerning and not how this vehicle should perform.

The air bag light came up on 7/13/21 because according to the owner’s manual this is a warning and it can be a tragically event. I was afraid that if an incident happened my family would be in danger. I took the van to the Honda dealer it has 59,000 miles and I was told the I need to replace passenger seat weight sensor assembly (seat rail with sensor) part #81201-THR-A01. I asked told them that this might be a manufacturer’s problem because when I turn on the van the light was already on. I purchased the extended warranty and this vehicle was certified and we have to pay for the repair and labor. Because I was told this is not covered under any warranty which in my opinion since this is a safety feature should be covered.

The Odyssey Elite has "rain sensing" wipers with no ability to disable them. The rain sensor fails to accurately assess water on the windshield, making the van's wiper choices either "off" or "low" or "high". I researched other Odyssey forum posts, and this issue is extremely common. This is a safety issue for two reasons. First, driver distraction trying to operate a non-functional system. Second, in light mist or rain as the "low" setting is too fast and smears and streaks, while "off" doesn't remove water. Other vehicles with rain-sensing wipers contain a disable feature in the software, allowing manual override for intermittent speeds. Honda offers no such bypass.

Vehicle dash showed the following problems when parked in front of store at full stop: Brake System Problem, Emission System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Problem, Power Steering System (EPS) Problem, Brake Hold System Problem. Upon driving the vehicle to get home the vehicle would not accelerate above 40 mph. (Your system will not allow me to upload pictures in jpg format)

The door panel on the left sliding door became separated from the door itself thus preventing the door from opening. The malfunction prevent egress from that door. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for repair. The dealership hated that the issue was considered cosmetic. The dealership ordered a new door panel at my personal expense. There was no prior warning that the door would malfunction and egress would be prevented.

The vehicle is slowing at low speed and it gives an impression that break is being applied when there is no break being applied.

The rear tailgate shocks have weakned up with vehicle just having 32500 miles. When you open rear automatic tailgate the tailgate opens completely and starts to slowly lower down while unloading belongings. When you suddenly looking back the tailgate will be half way down and can hit over head. I myself got hurt and don't let my wife use it.

The front suspension struts makes popping noise when steering vehicle extreme left or right and parking lot speed. If you turn complete right or left while vehicle is stand still and start driving, you hear these noise like axle cracking. Got it inspected with local mechanic and he said its struts making these noise which is surprising because vehicle is only 3 years old and only has 32500 miles. He said this noise has no safety risk but contact Honda dealership to see if they have any recall associated to it.

Driving at low speed about 25MPH, the dashboard where the speedometer and odometer is located went completely black for about 10 seconds.

MIRRORS ARE DIVERTING FROM ADJUSTED POSITION ALMOST EVERY TIME I START THE CAR, SOMETIMES EVEN IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING! DISABLING ME FROM SEEING WHAT'S WONDERFUL

TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP; TRANSMISSION HESITATES BETWEEN GEARS WHILE DRIVING; TRANSMISSION INDECISIVE AND SLAMS INTO A GEAR AND HESITATES AGAIN WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATOR - ALL CAUSING LOSS OF ACCELERATION; ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND HAVE TO JUMP THE VAN DAILY TO GET IT TO START EVEN THOUGH BATTERY IS STILL GOOD AND NO ACCESSORIES ARE ON; IF THERE'S NO POWER, CANNOT SHIFT CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO POSITION CAR TO JUMP OR TOW IT; LOSE POWER TO MULTIPLE SYSTEMS AND HAVE TO HOLD BUTTON TO RESET IT; CANNOT ACCESS BATTERY TO JUMP OR REPLACE WITHOUT REMOVING AIR INTAKE; WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE ACCELERATION LIKE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF; ISSUES WITH BOTH SLIDING DOORS NOT OPENING OR CLOSING AUTOMATICALLY; LATCH ON GAS TANK DOOR STICKS AND THERE IS NO MANUAL RELEASE TO OPEN IT - HAD TO DISASSEMBLE IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR; NUMEROUS RECALLS IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE; VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD WITH UNRESOLVED SAFETY AND MECHANICAL ISSUES; HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW ~AUGUST, 2017.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE HEAD LIGHTS DISPLAYED A HORIZONTAL LINE AND ABOVE THE HORIZONTAL LINE, NO LIGHT WAS PROJECTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE LIGHT BELOW THE HORIZONTAL LINE WAS NOT ADEQUATE FOR SAFE DRIVING. KEENAN HONDA (4311 W SWAMP RD, DOYLESTOWN, PA 18902) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE, AND THE HALOGEN BULBS WERE REPLACED WITH LED BULBS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF SIMILAR ISSUES HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR HAD TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET OR THROUGH THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

VEHICLE WAS OFF IN A PARKED STATE IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS FOR THE HORN MALFUNCTIONED AND THE HORN WAS AUDIBLE FOR ABOUT 4 MINUTES. DURING WHICH, THE FUSE FOR THE HORN WAS REMOVED, THOUGH THE HORN DID NOT STOP BEING AUDIBLE. AFTER THE FOUR MINUTES, THE HORN CUT OFF AND THE HARNESS SHORTED OUT. SMOKE WAS VISIBLE AS WELL AS THE SMELL OF BURNT WIRE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT HEADLIGHT. PULLING OF THE FUSE HAD NO EFFECT AS THE HORN CONTINUED TO BE AUDIBLE. THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME AND CAN POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FIRE IN THE VEHICLES ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WAS NO ONE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. MAINTENANCE IS PREFORMED IAW THE VEHICLES MANUAL AT AN OFFICIAL HONDA DEALERSHIP.

THE CAR TURNED ON THE ENGINE LIGHT INDICATING MISFIRE IN ALL THE ENGINE CYLINDERS THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE FUEL INJECTOR SYSTEM AND THEY CHANGED THEM THEY GAVE ME THE CAR BUT IT NO LONGER WORKED I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT THEY UNCOVER THE ENGINE AND FIND OUT THE DAMAGE THAT WAS ALLEGEDLY CAUSED BY THE INJECTORS WITH FACTORY DEFECTS AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE ENGINE TO CHANGE IT IF NECESSARY WITH MY MONEY.

SINCE LATE LAST YEAR, MY 2018 ODYSSEY HAD BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THE SLIDING DOOR. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T CLOSE TILL I HIT THE BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES SO FINALLY, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME MY CESS HARNESS IS KINKED AND WOULD COST ME $485 FOR REPLACING IT. THE DOOR HAD AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT RECALLS IN THE PAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 6500 MILES AND THESE WIRES ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO GO BAD THAT FAST.

OUR 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE HAS INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE. AS CONTEXT, THE CAR ENGINE WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULLY STOPPED, FOR EXAMPLE AT A RED LIGHT, AND A FEW OTHER CONDITIONS ARE MET (BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE, BATTERY CHARGE, ELECTRICAL LOAD). OUR VEHICLE WHEN AUTO STOPPED MAY STALL WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESUME DRIVING. WHEN THE DRIVER RELEASES THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR FAILS TO AUTO START, OR AUTO STARTS WITH WARNING MESSAGES. WHEN THE CAR FAILS TO START, A VARIETY OF WARNING MESSAGES WILL BE DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD. REMEDIATION VARIES. THE CAR MAY RESPOND TO SHIFTING TO PARK AND PUSHING THE IGNITION START/STOP BUTTON TWICE. AT TIMES, THE CAR MAY NOT RESPOND TO SHIFTING TO PARK AND IGNITION BUTTON ACTIONS. THE ONLY FIX THEN SEEMS TO BE A 'HARD' SHUTOFF THAT REQUIRES OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR AND PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON, CLOSING THE DOOR, PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON, AND SHIFTING TO DRIVE. WHEN THE SYSTEM PARTIALLY FAILS, THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING/MITIGATION SYSTEM IS TEMPORARILY DISABLED. MY CAR IS CURRENT ON ALL RECALLS. I RECENTLY HAD DEALER SERVICE, AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE ARE NO KNOWN BULLETINS FOR THIS ISSUE. THE CAR IS CURRENT ON MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND IS OTHERWISE IN VERY GOOD OPERATION CONDITION. THIS SITUATION CAR BE QUITE STRESSFUL WHEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, OR WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT TO MERGE INTO A MAJOR ROAD FROM A STOP. THIS FAILURE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU NEEDED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE QUICKLY, FOR EXAMPLE IF STOPPED NEAR A RAILROAD CROSSING. THE AUTO START/STOP SYSTEM IS ENABLED BY DEFAULT TO IMPROVE FUEL ECONOMY. IT CAN BE MANUALLY DISABLED, HOWEVER IT RESETS WITH EACH SHUTOFF. I WOULD PERMANENTLY DISABLE IT, HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE APPARENTLY FOR EPA REASONS. I HAVE VIDEOS SHOWING THIS BEHAVIOR.

I'M AN OWNER OF 2018 ODYSSEY EX WITH 9-SPEED TRANS. THIS IS MY THIRD ODYSSEY I OWN. I HAVE TWO 2016 AND ONE 2018. I'M VERY DISAPPOINT ABOUT THIS 2018 TRANS AND THE LACK OF ATTENTION FROM HONDA REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. FROM THE PART SALEPERSON TO THE ADVISOR, ALL NOTED THE ISSUE WITH THESE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION. RATTLE, HESITATION, SHUDDERING, JERKING, WERE SOME OF THE ONGOING ISSUES. I COMPLETED INTENSE RESEARCH AND FOUND TONS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS REAR ENDED DUE TO THIS HESITATION AND MISS GEAR ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. THE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRES BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUS HURT.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT MY CAR ALARM WENT OFF FOR NO REASON AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN IT OFF BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STUCK IN A LOOP OF POWERING ON AND OFF. AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH SUGGESTED A FAILURE OF ENGINE AUTO IDLE. I PUSHED THE ENGINE AUTO IDLE OVERRIDE BUTTON AND MANAGED TO TURN CAR OFF. NEXT MORNING I JUMP STARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A FEW ERRANDS. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN. THIS TIME PUSHING THE ENGINE AUTO IDLE OVERRIDE DID NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE ALARM, BUT COULD NOT BREAK THE LOOP OF THE CAR POWERING ON AND OFF. I HAD TO LET THE BATTERY DIE. I TRIED JUMPING IT AGAIN BUT IT NOW WON'T POWER ON LONG ENOUGH TO TRY TO START. HONDA TOLD ME I WAS ON MY OWN TO GET IT TOWED IN. TOW TRUCK CAME BUT THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION ' THERE IS NO WAY TO MANUALLY SHIFT THIS VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO POWER THE CAR ON AND USE THE TRANSMISSION PUSH BUTTONS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. HONDA IS REFUSING TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE GETTING THE CAR IN TO BE LOOKED AT. I'M LUCKY THIS POWER ON/OFF LOOP DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING, BUT A PIECE OF TRASH VAN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY UNABLE TO BE MOVED DOES ME NO GOOD EITHER.

SSINCE THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED, THE GAS NEEDLE IS WRONG. IT MAY SHOW FULL WHEN YOU FILL GAS TANK, BUT LESS THAN 25 MILES NEEDLE WILL DROP DOWN APPROX.1/8 BELOW FULL AND WHEN YOU FILL UP. GAS NEEDLE WILL BE BELOW 1/2 FULL AND IT WILL ONLY TAKE APPROX. 8TO 9 GAL YO FILL UP TANK IT APPEARS TO BE 2GALS +, - WRONG. DOESN'T MATTER IF VAN IS MOVING OR STILL. ALSO THE GAS MILEAGE SEEM TO BE LESS..

THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SYSTEM IS INDECISIVE AND IT JUST REVS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I BOUGHT THIS VAN NEW IN 2017. MY MECHANIC JUST DID SOME WORK AND NOTICED IT ON A TEST DRIVE AND SAYS THIS TRANSMISSION IS MADE BY A GERMAN COMPANY THAT HAS THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE ALMOST BEEN T-BONED ON TURNS BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND JUST ROLLS FOR 3-5 SECONDS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AN NEEDS TO BE FIXED

VEHICLE IS NOT SHIFTING AT ALL, DOESN'T GO RIGHT AWAY WHEN PEDAL IS PRESSED, PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE BUTTONS FLASH ON DASHBOARD WHEN CAR IS ON. ALL SENSOR LIGHTS COME ON WITH ISSUES.

I'M OWNER OF 2018 ODYSSEY. I HAVE 9-SPEED TRANS. THIS IS MY THIRD ODYSSEY I OWN. I'M DISAPPOINT ABOUT THIS TRANS. HESITATION, SHUDDERING, JERKING, WERE SOME OF THE ISSUES. IN TAKING THE ODYSSEY INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES THEY SAD THE MODEL 2018-2019 WITH 9 SPEED TRANS. JUST HAVE PROBLEM. WOW I JUST HAVE 31000MILS. (MY PREVIOUS 2011 ODYSSEY SHIFT WHIT NO PROBLEM) I WAS RESEARCH AND FIND LOT OFF PEOPLE HAVE SAME PROBLEM , EVEN SOMEONE FILED CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT ALLEGES THAT THE NINE-SPEED ZF 9HP AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHAT I NEED TO DO?

THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVEING. THE LIGHTS FOR POWER STEERING, BREAK PROBLEM, LANE KEEPING ASSISTANT SYSTEM AND LANE DEPARTURE MIGRATION LIGHTS ARE ALL ON IN THE DASHBOARD. THE POWER STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 20V-439) FOR THE BACK-UP CAMERA ON MY 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY BY MAIL IN SEPTEMBER 2020. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THE REPAIR MADE (3 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS) AND HAVE BEEN TOLD EACH TIME THAT THE NECESSARY PARTS FOR THE REPAIR ARE ON "BACK ORDER" AND ARE UNAVAILABLE. THEREFORE THE LOCAL DEALER (UNDERSTANDABLY) WILL NOT SCHEDULE A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. I ALSO CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY ALSO HAVE NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PART'S AVAILABILITY AND THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IF PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO MAKE THE NEEDED REPAIRS, WHY IS A RECALL NOTICE EVEN ISSUED?

LAND DEPARTURE SYSTEM IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED, BUT NOT TURNED ON. PERIODICALLY, EVEN WHEN NOT LEAVING THE LANE, SYSTEM OVERRIDES MY ACTIONS. RATHER FRIGHTFUL WHEN UNAWARE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. IT FELT LIKE A TUG-OF-WAR. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON TWO LANE ROADS.

CAR DELAYS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE WHEN STATIONARY. CAR THEN LUNGES FORWARD WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. AT TIMES I'M STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS VEHICLES ARE APPROACHING. MAKES IF VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CROSS ROAD.

UPON OPENING VEHICLE USING REMOTE CONTROL (SLIDING DOORS OR TAILGATE), THE DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT UNLATCH OR UNLOCK. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, YOU CAN NOT OPEN THIS DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. ONLY WAY TO OPEN IT IS TO GO IN VIA THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND MANUAL RELEASE THE DOOR. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM ONCE BEFORE AND STATED THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE COMMON ANSWER FOR HONDA WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR THEIR VEHICLE ISSUES.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I STARTED TO PUT ON MY SEAT BELT, BUT WHEN I PULLED ON THE BUCKLE, I FOUND THAT THE LOWER ANCHOR POINT OF THE SEAT BELT HAD COME COMPLETELY LOOSE FROM THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THAT SEAT BELT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, SO MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT IT CAME LOOSE ON ITS OWN. CLEARLY THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT JUST BEFORE THIS BOLT CAME COMPLETELY LOOSE.

ALL WARNING LIGHTS POPPED UP AND CONTINUED TO CYCLE THROUGH WHEN I WAS DRIVING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A SAFETY/LIMP MODE. SHIFTING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND THE MAXIMUM SPEED TOPPED OUT AT 45MPH.

WHEN DRIVING WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY ABRUPTLY DECELERATES WHILE TRYING TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF WE ARE BEHIND THE VEHICLE WE ARE TRYING TO PASS AND PULL OUT IN THE LEFT LANE, OR IF WE ARE ALWAYS IN THE LEFT LANE AND JUST APPROACH THE VEHICLE WE ARE TRYING TO PASS WHILE ALWAYS REMAINING IN THE LEFT LANE LIKE ON AN INTERSTATE. OUR VEHICLE IS ALWAYS SAFELY IN OUR LANE AND DOESN'T COME ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO PASS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE CAMERA ADJUSTED THREE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE ACC ON AS THE ABRUPT DECELERATION CAN RESULT IN US GETTING REAR-ENDED AT PASSING SPEEDS. WE NO LONGER USE THE ACC FEATURE OF THIS VEHICLE WHEN APPROACHING OTHER VEHICLES TO PASS.

WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION FAILED AND DROPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR. THIS CAUSED A SUDDEN REDUCTION IN SPEED AND DIFFICULTY IN SAFELY REMOVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE HIGHWAY.

DRIVING ON I26 TRAVELING EAST INTO CHARLESTON, SC IN SECOND FROM THE LEFT LANE, DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH DURING BUSY RUSH HOUR. SUDDENLY, A LARGE SUV IN THE NEXT LANE TO MY LEFT VEERED INTO MY LANE. I TURNED THE WHEEL SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID A COLLISION, ALSO SIMILTANEOUSLY BRAKING JUST ENOUGH TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAD MOVED APPROXIMATELY 1/2 A LANE TO THE RIGHT. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO COME BACK INTO MY LANE. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN VEERING TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT AS I WAS FIGHTING TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL. IN THE NEXT 10-15 SECONDS, THE VAN VEERED ALTERNATIVELY RIGHT AND LEFT ABOUT 5 TIMES EACH UNTIL IT STABILIZED. I WAS USING ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM TAKING OFF ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC. I CALLED HONDA NORTH AMERICA AND WAS ESSENTIALLY DISMISSED AS I WAS TOLD TO JUST TURN OFF MY LANE MITIGATION SYSTEM, WITH NO EXPLANATION OR APPARANT CARE ABOUT WHAT I HAD GONE THROUGH. I WENT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS CONCERNED AND TOLD ME HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME. THAT WAS OVER A MONTH AGO AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION FROM THEM. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM WILL REPEAT ITSELF, OR IF IT HAS EVER BEEN REPORTED. I AM QUITE CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEVASTATION INJURY OR FATILITY TO MY FAMILY AND OTHERS.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR RATTLES BADLY WHEN GEAR SHIFTS DOWN ON A RAMP AT SPEEDS OF 15 TO 30 MPH.

ALL WARNING LIGHTS POPPED UP WHEN I WAS DRIVING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A SAFETY MODE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS ON A FAIRLY NEW VAN!

THE ISSUES STARTED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT STARTED WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM CRACKLING AND CUTTING OUT. THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START OR WOULD ROUGH START AND I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY HAS A BAD CELL (NOW 1200 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY) AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR NOTIFICATION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DOOR NO LONGER OPENS. I JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE BACK UP CAMERA. THIS IS THE 3RD RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUES ARE WHAT DAMAGED THE BATTERY AND THAT HONDA SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND FIX THE DOOR ISSUE. BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT 1500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY, HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. I AM GETTING AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO WEIGH IN. I JUST SAW THERE WAS A RECALL IN MAY 2019 FOR LOOSE BATTERY CONNECTORS. I NEVER RECEIVED THIS RECALL AND AM TRYING TO DETERMINE IF MY VIN WAS EXCLUDED, AND IF SO, WHY. HONDA CLEARLY DOES NOT STAND BY ITS PRODUCT.

VEHICLE REQUIRES A JUMP START AT LEAST ONCE A DAY IN THE COURSE OF NORMAL USE, NO LIGHTS LEFT ON, NO DOORS LEFT OPEN, NO USE OF ACCESSORIES WITHOUT THE CAR RUNNING. WE WILL DRIVE THE CAR SOMEWHERE, BE THERE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME FROM 5-10 MINUTES AT A GAS PUMP TO A FEW HOURS AT A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUR OR A FEW DAYS ON A CAMPING TRIP. THE NEXT TIME WE TRY TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP. THIS IS THE VEHICLE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN USE AND I HAVE TO KEEP A PORTABLE JUMP STARTER IN THE CAR TO AVOID MY WIFE AND KIDS BEING STUCK WAITING FOR AAA TO COME JUMP THE VEHICLE. 2 YEARS OLD, JUST OVER 17,000 MILES AND WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALER FOR MULTIPLE DAYS AND THEY TELL US THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL GLITCH OR PROBLEM AND IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT HONDA HAS NO ANSWERS.

MY DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WON'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND KEEPS REOPENING WHEN I AM IN PARK POSITION. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIME AND RECALLS HAVE BEEN DONE BUT STILL DOES IT EVERY DAY. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT. IT'S BEEN DOING IT SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW SINCE 2018.

2 DIFFERENT TIMES I HAVE COME TO A STOP AT AT STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I GO TO START AGAIN THE CAR TURNS OFF AND GOES INTO PARK. LUCKILY IT HAS HAPPENED AT NO SPEED BUT VERY TERRIFYING TO THINK YOU ARE IN DRIVE THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND YOU ARE IN PARK. ALSO ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAVE COME OUT IN MY GARAGE (AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN OFF AND PARKED FOR A FEW HOURS) AND MY CAR IS IN ACCESSORY MODE AND THEN THE BATTERY IS DRAINED. I HAD THE KEYS OUT OF THE CAR AND NO ONE ELSE WAS HOME BOTH TIMES. SO CAR IS GOING INTO ACCESSORY MODE WITHOUT KEYS OR A PERSON IN THE CAR.

ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM AND BLIND SPOT SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGES AND ISSUE SURFACED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE, I WAS UNABLE TO BACKUP THE VEHICLE AT SERVICE PLAZA AND ALSO WAS UNABLE TO BACKUP VEHICLE WHILE PARKING ON OUR HOME DRIVEWAY! NOT ABLE TO BACKUP VEHICLE IS A HUGE SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUE. I TRIED CALLING HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, BUT WAS TOLD TOW TRUCK WAS RESTRICTED ON OHIO TURNPIKE. ISSUE SURFACED SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER LOOKED AT THE ISSUES AND PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE. DEALER DETERMINED ' AFTER CODES WERE CLEARED, ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED'. I AM NOT CONVINCED THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY KNOWN ISSUES LIKE THIS ON 2018 ODYSSEY'S WITH 10 SPEED AUTO, ELECTRONIC PRESS BUTTON TRANSMISSION! A CASE 11543835 HAS ALSO BEEN OPENED WITH HONDA , BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE YET.

POWER SLIDING DOORS SITTING ON THE EXTERIOR BODY WHEN OPENED. DOORS OPEN AGAIN RIGHT AFTER PRESSING CLOSE BUTTON.

TAKING NOISE AT MORNING CALLS START

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, MULTIPLE ERROR MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAILURE MESSAGE AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SEVERELY SHAKE AND VIBRATE. IN ADDITION, THE BACK-UP CAMERA WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER DCH HONDA LOCATED AT 1101 U.S. 9, OLD BRIDGE, NJ 08857 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR POWER LOCK DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE RESULTING IN AN INABILITY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AFTER CLOSING AND THEREFORE INHIBIT ENTRY THROUGH THAT DOOR. MANUALLY PUSHING IN OF THE LOCK RESTORES THE ABILITY TO POWER-UNLOCK, HOWEVER IT DOES NOT RESTORE FUNCTION TO THE POWER LOCKING MECHANISM. ADDITIONALLY, THE EFFECT APPEARS TO BE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE, WHERE WARM WEATHER INCREASES THE CHANCES OF FAILURE OF THE POWER LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.

WHILE IN MOTION AT A SPEED WHERE THE VEHICLE AUTO LOCKS THE DOORS, THE DRIVER'S DOOR POWER LOCK WILL ATTEMPT TO REPEATEDLY LOCK THE CAR DOOR. THE LOCK APPEARS ENGAGED, HOWEVER IT IS NOT CLOSED AS FAR AS THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCK. THE LOCKING ATTEMPTS CAN BE REDUCED BY PUSHING THE LOCK MANUALLY TO A FULLY CLOSED POSITION. THE LOCK STILL FUNCTIONS AND THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED, HOWEVER ANY ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE POWER LOCKING MECHANISM ARE UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE DOOR MUST BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED FROM THE INSIDE.

WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, AFTER CLOSING THE REAR DOOR. THE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT ALWAYS HOLD THE REAR DOOR IN A FULLY CLOSED CONDITION, CAUSING A DOOR OPEN WARNING CONDITION. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FORCEFULLY SLAM THE REAR DOOR CLOSED BEFORE IT LOCKS CORRECTLY. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES EACH MONTH. ON VEHICLE WITHOUT AUTO CLOSING REAR DOOR OPTION.

THE PINCH SENSOR KEEPS BREAKING WHICH THEN CAUSES THE DOOR PANEL TO SEPARATE AND THE WINDOW TO DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SINCE WE BOUGHT IT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

2018 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS DANGEROUSLY UNPREDICTABLE WHEN ACCELERATING. ESPECIALLY FROM FULLY STOPPED CONDITION. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER ADVANCING STRAIGHT AHEAD OR TURNING INTO EITHER DIRECTION. TERRAIN CONDITIONS DO NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THIS BEHAVIOR. THE DRIVER MAY EXPERIENCE WIDELY VARIABLE RESPONSES TO A CONSISTENT APPLICATION OF THROTTLE. VEHICLE MAY, WITHOUT ANY WAY FOR THE DRIVER TO PREDICT, 1) ACCELERATE WITH A NORMAL PREDICTABLE RESPONSE TO THROTTLE PRESSURE, 2) RESPOND TO THE SAME THROTTLE INPUT BY VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATING (EVEN IF THE DRIVER SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THROTTLE INPUT) OR 3) IMMEDIATELY. NOT MOVE AT ALL WHILE ENGINE REVS, THEN MOMENTS LATER, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE SO RAPIDLY THAT IT LAUNCHES INTO TRAFFIC OR THE TIRES FIRST LOSE TRACTION BEFORE IT LAUNCHES. IN INCLEMENT WEATHER THE CONDITION IS EXACERBATED INTO AN EVEN MORE DANGEROUS LACK OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

WE CAME HOME FROM THE MOVIE THEATER (WHICH WAS ONLY 5 MILES AWAY) AND PARKED OUR CAR IN THE OUR DRIVEWAY. WHEN MY HUSBAND TURNED OFF THE CAR, WE IMMEDIATELY SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. WE SEE SMOKE COMING UP FROM THE HOOD OF THE CAR. MY HUSBAND, KIDS AND I IMMEDIATELY GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SEE WAFTS OF SMOKE RISING FROM THE HOOD. WE SEE FIRE AT THE UNDER BED OF THE CAR. WITHIN 3 MINUTES FIRE WAS COMING UP THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THE ENTIRE HOOD OF MY CAR WAS UP IN FLAMES (4-5FT TALL) WITHIN 5 MINUTES FROM SMOKE TO FULL FIRE. FIREFIGHTERS THANKFULLY PUT OUT THE FIRE WITHIN 8 MINUTES FROM WHEN IT STARTED. THE HOOD HAD DISINTEGRATED AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE AND ALL THE PARTS IN THE HOOD WERE BURNT AND MELTED. MY WINDSHIELD SHATTERED FROM THE HEAT. THIS CAR WAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, 37,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS BOUGHT AND SERVICE LOS REGULARLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE CAR WOULD JUST COMBUST OUT OF THE BLUE. CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA WITH NO AVAIL. AND REFUSAL OF ANY INVESTIGATION. THE ENTIRE INCIDENT WAS CAPTURED ON OUR SECURITY CAMERA.

THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE LAGS AND SLIPS REGULARLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A HONDA DEALER TO SERVICE THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY AND WERE TOLD THAT THE PERFORMANCE WE ARE EXPERIENCING IS NORMAL FOR THIS SPECIFIC TRANSMISSION. IT US UNACCEPTABLE THAT HONDA WOULD ALLOW THIS TRANSMISSION TO BE USED BY SO MANY IN SUCH AN UNSAFE WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING AT ABOUT 2 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION WENT FROM DRIVE TO PARK WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE GENTHE HONDA DEALER, LOCATED AT 15100 EUREKA RD, SOUTHGATE, MI 48195, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

THE 2018 ODYSSEY HAS MANY PROBLEMS ON THE FUEL INJECTORS SYSTEM THAT CAUSED ALL CHECKING ENGINES LIGHTS ON. THE COSTS TO REPAIR IS TOO EXPENSIVE. COSTS ME 1650.00 AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER

METAL BAR ON THE SIDE SLIDE BACK CAUSING CAN'T CLOSE TAIL GATE OR HARD TO OPEN. HONDA DOESN'T KNOW WHAT CAUSE IT. I AM NOT SURE WHETHER IT HAS TO DO WITH SLIDING DOOR RECALL THAT IT NOT LATCH (WHICH ALREADY FIXED) OR SLIDE DOOR PUSH THIS SIDE METAL BAR BACK WHEN OPEN. HONDA TECH SAID THEY SAW IT IN MORE THAN 5 VEHICLES, IT CATCHED IT BEFORE 35K, HONDA WILL COVER UNDER WARRANTY. BUT MY CAR IS OVER 35K SO IT NOT COVER EVEN UNDER EXTEND WARRANTY. IT COSTS $140 TO REPLACE. I AM MORE CONCERN FOR MY KIDS SAFETY, IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSE IT. IT HAPPENED AFTER I COME IN FOR RECALL OF POWER REPLACEMENT IN THE BACK.

BOUGHT NEW IN OCT 2018. HAS 39,000 MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES ON VAN NOW. FEB 17, 2020 - VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO "REVERSE" TO ACTIVATE THE CAMERA. NO IMAGE WAS DISPLAYED, BUT A BLANK (BLACK) SCREEN WITH MESSAGE: CAMERA SYSTEM FAILURE. HOW IS THAT FAILURE EVEN POSSIBLE - NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO CAMERA WHATSOEVER? THE CAMERA ISN'T A STRESSED PART LIKE ENGINE PARTS. WHY IS THE CAMERA FAILING SO SOON?

CABIN WATCH SAFETY FEATURE FOR PASSENGERS MALFUNCTIONING PERIODICALLY

THE REAR CAMERA SYSTEM HAS 'CAMERA SYSTEM FAILURE' ERROR. ANYTIME THE CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE, INSTEAD OF THE REAR CAMERA VISIBILITY, THE SCREEN GOES BLACK WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE OF CAMERA SYSTEM FAILURE.

WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION, FIRST TIME BRAKE PEDAL GETS SOFT AND GET PRESSED EXTENSIVELY TO FLOOR WITH LOSS OF BRAKING POWER, IF U HIT BRAKE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FIRST PRESS, BRAKE PEDAL WORKS NORMAL. AGAIN ONCE U HIT ACCELERATION, AND TRY TO HIT BRAKE, FIRST ATTEMPT OF BRAKING GETS VERY SOFT AND ALMOST BOTTOM OUT WITHOUT MUCH BRAKING POWER THEN IMMEDIATELY SECOND PUSH TO BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES MORE NORMAL AND HARDER BRAKING. WHOLE CYCLE KEEPS REPEATING.

WHEN I STOP CURBSIDE FOR SCHOOL CARPOOLING (I HAVE 5 CHILDREN AT 3 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS) TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO EXIT THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR, I THEN CANNOT GET IT TO CLOSE. THE DOOR WILL SLIDE ALL THE WAY TO WITHIN 1 INCH OF CLOSING AND POP BACK OPEN. REPEATEDLY. DRIVING WITH THE SLIDING DOOR AJAR IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE DRIVER'S SIDE BUTTONS TO STOP THE DOOR, AND START IT CLOSING AGAIN. IF I DO THIS STOP/START ACTION REPEATEDLY (NOT ALLOWING THE DOOR TO SLIDE ALL THE WAY BACK OPEN) I CAN ALMOST ALWAYS GET THE TIMING RIGHT TO GET IT TO CLOSE...BUT OFTEN IT TAKES 3-5 MINUTES TO GET THE STOP/START COMBINATION TO CLOSE THE DOOR ENTIRELY. I AM USUALLY UNABLE TO REMAIN IN THE CARPOOL PULL THROUGHS THAT LONG SO I SEAT MY BABY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SO WHEN WE PULL AWAY WITH THE DOOR AJAR, THERE IS LESS OF A SAFETY CONCERN UNTIL I AM ABLE TO PULL TO ANOTHER SPOT AND DEAL WITH THE DOOR. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND EVEN MORE SO, UNSAFE!

KEEP GETTING ERROR MESSAGE THAT MY CARE HAS LOST POWER BETWEEN DRIVING AND THE ANTI THEFT ON THE RADIO DISPLAYS. DEALERSHIP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PHOTOS OF IT HAPPENING 15 + TIMES IT HAS HAPPENS SINCE THE VAN WAS A FEW WEEKS OLD

THE CAR HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT. THE ENGINE MOUNT IS BEING REPLACED DUE TO IT BEING BAD, THE RADIO IS VERY DELAYED AND CRASHES AND THE SLIDING DOOR KEEPS STICKING AND I HAVE TO FORCE IT CLOSED.

FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT MY CAR THE BRAKES HAVE SQUEALED WHEN APPLYING THEM AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE GAS TOOK AN EXTENDED TIME TO WORK. ONCE I WAS TRYING TO SWITCH LANES AND WHEN I ACCELERATED THE VAN DIDN'T GO ANY FASTER AND I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE VAN SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD. EVERYTHING THE VAN SHIFTS AROUND 20-30 MPH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE JOLTS BACK AND FORTH. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERS WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO HONDA'S CORPORATE NUMBER BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES, FLUIDS AND FUEL INJECTORS BUT ALL THE ISSUES STILL REMAIN. I HAVE ALSO HAD A FEW ISSUES WITH THE SOUND SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY BUT HAVE NOT MENTIONED THAT TO THE DEALERSHIP OR HONDA CORPORATE.

THE FRONT ROTORS WARPED AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEELS AND FRONT END OF THE CAR TO SHAKE WHILING BREAKING AT HIGH SPEED. SHAKING ISN'T NOTICEABLE UNDER 30MPH BUT THE FAST YOU GO, THE WORST THE SHAKING BECOMES. WE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH OUR OLDER 2012 ODYSSEY AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE IT. WHEN I ASK THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL LIST FOR IT AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACE MY BREAKS AND ROTORS.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES: AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR 2 ' 5 MINUTES, ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, REAR ENTERTAINMENT SCREEN AND PARKING SENSORS STOP WORKING. THE SPEAKERS MAKE LOUD POPPING SOUND THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY EVEN WHEN YOU TRY TO POWER OFF RADIO/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF WAS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SOUND. ONCE RESTARTED, EVERYTHING WOULD WORK FOR 2 ' 5 MINUTES AND THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN. THE SPEAKERS POPPING WERE VERY LOUD AND DISTRACTING, SCREEN WITH BACKUP CAMERA AND PARKING SENSORS STOPPED WORKING MAKING THE VEHICLE NOT DRIVABLE.

I HAVE HAD THIS VERY PROBLEM IN MY 2018 EX WITH NAV RES. I'LL BE ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING 65MPH+, AND I WILL ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES OR PASS AND THE ENGINE WILL SEEMINGLY STALL FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. AS I PRESS THE GAS, THE CAR ACTUALLY DECELERATES AS IF IT'S COASTING IN NEUTRAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT REENGAGES, THE ENGINE REVS A LITTLE, AND THE CAR BEGINS ACCELERATION. I ALSO OFTEN NOTICE THAT THE VAN DOES A SIMILAR THING WHEN I'M ACCELERATING FROM A STOP TO ENTER TRAFFIC OR MAKE A TURN. WHEN I HIT THE GAS, THE CAR COASTS FORWARD FOR A SECOND BEFORE ACTUALLY ACCELERATING. IT IS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN THERE HAS BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY 'CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.' TODAY MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD OPEN A CASE WITH HONDA, WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD THAT THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION WAS DISCONTINUED BECAUSE CONSUMERS 'COMPLAINED' AND 'DIDN'T LIKE IT.' THEY FURTHER SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULD NOT FIX IT. IN THE CASE OF MY VAN, IT IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS. MY SON IS LEARNING TO DRIVE AND I AM FEARFUL FOR HIS SAFETY. I HAVE FELT IN DANGER IN THIS CAR MYSELF. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT TO WHOM I COULD SPEAK TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS, I WAS DIRECTED TO 'PAGE 2 OF THE ONLINE OWNER'S MANUAL.' THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FREQUENTLY WITHOUT RESOLUTION.

WHEN WE START THE ENGINE ALL THE ERRORS COME UP SAYING THAT THE VHS FAILED, THE ELECTRONICS STABILITY FAILED, BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AND ALL THE OTHER COMPONENTS. WE HAVE PURCHASED 2 ODYSSEY AND THEY BOTH HAVE THAT PROBLEMS. WHEN WE CALLED HONDA THEY TOLD US TO REPAIR IT AS IT WAS OUR FAULT. AFTER FEW STARTS IT GOES AWAY. WE WENT TO OUR MECHANIC AND THEY RESET THE CODES AND IT HAS GONE AWAY FOR NOW BUT THERE IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE ODYSSEY. SO HONDA HAS RECALLED THE PILOT BUT NOT THE MINI VAN. SAME PROBLEMS.

DROVE VEHICLE, PARKED, AND KEPT CAR RUNNING. HAD ONLY SET OF KEYS IN HAND WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR. USED THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE CAR. COULD NOT UNLOCK THE CAR USING THE KEY FOB OR BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF VAN. AT THE TIME, DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A PHYSICAL KEY IN THE FOB. MY KIDS WERE LOCKED IN THE CAR AND I HAD TO INSTRUCT MY FIVE-YEAR-OLD TO UNBUCKLE THEMSELVES FROM THEIR CARSEAT AND UNLOCK THE DOORS. EVENT OCCURRED LATE 2019. HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUE WHERE I HAVE STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR, WHILE IT IS NOT RUNNING AND MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR, THEY KEYS WERE IN THE CAR, AND WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR, THE DOORS LOCKED. THANKFULLY THE BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF VAN WORKED TO UNLOCK DOORS, BUT IF IT HADN'T, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE CAR TO GET TO MY KIDS ON A HOT SUMMER DAY. EVENT OCCURRED SUMMER 2019.

THE 10-SPEED TRANSMISSION ON MY 2018 HONDA EX-L ODYSSEY VAN SLIPS. THIS HAS INTERMITTENTLY HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. THE SLIPPAGE OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN STARTING AFTER A STOP. THE ENGINE WILL REV FOR TO A FULL SECOND BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION "CATCHES" AND STARTS TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL START WITH A JERK, OTHER TIMES, THE ACCELERATION WILL BE SLOW. THIS UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I'VE HAD SEVERAL "NEAR MISS" INCIDENTS WHERE THE UNPREDICTABLE TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR IT IMMEDIATELY LEST LIVES BE LOST.

2018 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL RESNAV W/ 9SPEED AT ASIDE FROM THE TRANSMISSION I ALSO WROTE UP OUR ODYSSEY HAS USED THE COLLISION MITIGATION AUTO BRAKING SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES TO NOT JUST SLOW BUT COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN JUST ONCE. OR JUST TO MY WIFE THE PRIMARY DRIVER. IT'S HAPPENED TO BOTH OF US MULTIPLE TIMES. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE HAVING THE CAR 'TAKE THE CONTROLS' AND STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU HAVE THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESSED TO PASS A VEHICLE THIS IS UNSAFE. DOUBLY SO WHEN THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU ANTICIPATES YOUR ACCELERATION AND NEARLY REAR ENDS YOU. OR THE TIME MY WIFE HAD A CAR CROSS TRAFFIC LEFT TO RIGHT TOO CLOSE TO HER AND THE SURROUNDING VEHICLES TURNING INTO THE LOCAL CHICK FIL A. THE VEHICLES TO HER LEFT AND RIGHT WERE ABLE TO SLOW AND THEN PROCEED. OUR ODYSSEY STOPPED DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 6 LANE ROAD THAT USUALLY RUNS 45. SHE WAS NEARLY HIT DUE TO THE OVERLY AGGRESSIVE STOP FROM THE CMBS. TURNING LEFT WITH A GREEN ARROW THE VAN WILL EVEN ATTEMPT TO STOP WHEN IT DETECTS TRAFFIC SITTING ON THE OPPOSING SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION YIELDING RIGHT OF WAY. AND WILL ALSO LOCK ON TO VEHICLES TURNING LEFT FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND STOP. THIS IS COMPLETELY AND 100% UNACCEPTABLE, UNSAFE AND HAS DESTROYED MY OPINION OF HONDA WHICH WAS STERLING UP UNTIL NOW. WE MAY BE TRADING THIS THING SOON.

OWNER OF 2018 ODYSSEY EXL RESNAV W/ 9SPEED AT WIFE IS PRIMARY DRIVER AND WE RECENTLY RETURNED FROM A ROAD TRIP. VEHICLE PERFORMS VERY SMOOTHLY 95% OF THE TIME. THE OTHER 5% YOU CAN EXPECT ABRUPT AND VIOLENT UP AND DOWN SHIFTS. FURTHER, THIS IS THE SAFETY VS ANNOYANCE ISSUE, THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS IS A FACTOR THREAT WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. HESITATION CAN AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HONDA OF NA NEEDS TO GET TO WORK AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE HURT.

I HAD THE HONDA ODYSSEY IN AT LEAST 8 TIMES FOR A JERKY TRANSMISSION. IT WAS ACTUALLY REPLACED AT 15,000 MILES (1/21/19) WITH A NEW ONE, NO PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER 15,000. THEN IN SEPT OF 2019 THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED AFTER 3 SERVICE CALLS AND NUMEROUS FAX AND TELEPHONE CALLS BASICALLY HONDA CUSTOMER CARE SAID I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING THRU BUSY DOWNTOWN GRAND RAPIDS THE ODYSSEY DOWNSHIFTED ON ITS OWN WHILE THE WIFE AND MOTHER IN LAW WERE DRIVING. MY WIFE ALMOST LOST CONTROL BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OF THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT I TRADED THE CAR IN. AND SENT A LETTER TO HONDA CUSTOMER CARE AND BETTEN HONDA IN MUSKEGON THAT I SUGGEST THE CAR COMES OFF THE ROAD. AS I KNOW THE NEXT PERSON WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ISSUE IS THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE AND CAN NOT BE RECREATED OR DETECTED BY A COMPUTER CHECK. BUT IT IS VERY REAL. TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS WILLING TO LOSE 12,000 DOLLARS. NOT AN EASY PILL TO SWALLOW. MY HOPE IS THAT NO ONE ELSE GETS HURT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT I CAN SEE IT COMING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING, ON A SIDE CITY STREET, AND TOOK A SPEED BUMP, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CUT OUT ENTIRELY. I LOST POWER TO MY SPEEDOMETER AND MY ENTIRE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, GOT OUT, THEN GOT BACK IN, THE SPEEDOMETER CAME BACK, BUT THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM CONTINUED TO BE OUT. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE ABOUT DAY 30 OF OWNING THE CAR. IT WILL CUT OUT, SAY CHECK TUNER, THE SPEAKERS CRACKLE. ORIGINALLY THIS WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE AUTO ON/OFF FEATURE, BUT NOW THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN.

ALL MY ALERTS CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING. A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE EMISSION LIGHT CAME ON - HONDA TOLD ME TO COME BACK IF IT DOESN'T TURN OFF IN A WEEK. THOUGHT GAS TANK/NEW GAS ISSUE. THEN ALL ALERTS CAME ON TODAY. HONDA DIAGNOSED AS A ISSUE WITH FUEL INJECTORS. OUT OF WARRANTY. $2,500.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES ROUGH SHIFTING WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP IN STOP IN GO TRAFFIC. IT IS LIKE IT FALLS INTO GEAR, AND NOT A SMOOTH SHIFT. VERY DISAPPOINTED FOR A $33,000 PURCHASE. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, OR ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE 400 IN WEST SENECA NY AND A TRUCK ENTERED AT THE UNION RD EXIT. THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE AROUND ME AND SOMETHING CAME OUT OF THE UNCOVERED DUMPSTER THE TRUCK WAS CARRYING AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD LEAVING A CRACK.

MY CAR SHAKES WHEN I BRAKE. HONDA DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT'S OK, THE NEW BRAKES DO THAT A LITTLE. MY 2007 ODYSSEY DID NOT DO THIS. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES TELLING THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

MY 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS ONLY 3295 MILES , I AM GETTING MESSAGE ON DISPLAY ANTI THEFT SYSTEM LOST POWER . THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED 4 TIMES IN LAST THREE MONTHS. SOMETIMES IT IS SCARED TO DRIVE THE VAN.

WHEN I SLOWED TO A STOP, THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND WENT INTO PARK. THE AIR CONDITIONER CONTINUED TO RUN, WE COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE DEALER SAYS THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I'M HEARING FROM MANY SOURCES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM - EVEN WHILE MOVING. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG, BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT IT'S SOMETHING MAJOR. IT MAY ALSO BE DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING, AND I GUESS I DON'T TRUST THE DEALER. I'M JUST NOTIFYING YOU TO MAKE A RECORD OF THIS IN CASE THIS TURNS OUT TO BE SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST A QUICK FIX..

WHEN DECELERATING AT THE SPEED AROUND OF 25 MAKES A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND AND SHIPS A RADICALLY

THE ELECTRICAL SLIDING DOOR IS OPENING ON ITS OWN AT NIGHT. I WAS NOT SURE IF THIS WAS RECALLED ON THIS VEHICLE. I COULD NOT FIND IT. WE ALSO HAD A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT THE SLIDERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS RECALLED. I BELIEVE THIS IS RECALLED FOR DOORS OPENING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAD HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY BEFORE HAPPENING LAST NIGHT.

I HAVE BEEN INCREASINGLY CONCERNED WITH THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE FEATURE, WHICH ACTIVATES AT TIMES IN A SURPRISE. IT IS TOO "TOUCHY" IN SLOW CITY TRAFFIC, AND I AM AFRAID THAT I CAN GET REAR-ENDED IF/WHEN IT ACTIVATES. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET. THE WORST PROBLEM IS WHEN TRAVELING ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMITS IN THE RANGE OF 45-55 MPH. WHEN THE ROAD IS TURNING TO THE RIGHT, THE SENSOR WILL PICK UP ONCOMING TRAFFIC (BECAUSE IT SEES THE ONCOMING CAR AS IN MY LINE OF TRAVEL) AND PUT ON THE BRAKE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL ON ONE OCCASION. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED I CAN TURN THIS FEATURE OFF, BUT IT REACTIVATES EVERY TIME THE CAR IS RESTARTED. THUS I HAVE TO REMEMBER ALWAYS TO TURN OFF THE FEATURE WHEN I RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS ANNOYING, AND CAN STILL LEAD TO A PROBLEM IF I FORGET TO TURN IT OFF. THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WAS ON/ABOUT AUGUST 7, 2019. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON U.S. 31 ABOUT 15 MILES SOUTH OF CHARLEVOIX, MI. THE HIGHWAY CURVED TO THE RIGHT, AND SUDDENLY THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE DEPLOYED AS AN ONCOMING CAR APPROACHED. MY SPEED WAS ~55MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) AND I BELIEVE THE ONCOMING CAR WAS DOING THE SAME. THE SUDDEN ACTION OF THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE FEATURE REALLY SURPRISED ME, AND I WAS FORTUNATE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS SO-CALLED SAFETY FEATURE IS MORE HELP THAN I NEED. PLEASE TELL CAR COMPANIES NOT TO ADD THIS FEATURE. IF THEY FEEL THEY MUST DO IT, PLEASE REQUIRE A PERMANENT SHUT-OFF FEATURE

ON AUGUST 28,2019 MY VAN HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE ALL MORNING UNTIL I DECIDED TO GO PICK UP LUNCH. I DROVE ABOUT 10 MINS TO THE RESTAURANT, PARKED FOR AROUND FIVE MINS, THEN GOT BACK IN CAR TO DRIVE HOME. ABOUT FIVE MINS INTO THE DRIVE HOME I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF AND THEN A SCATTERING SOUND. I WAS SHOCKED BC THERE WAS NO CARS BEHIND ME ON THE ROAD AND ONLY ONE SMALL SEDAN TRAVELING ABOUT TWO CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD BEEN WATCHING CLOSELY TO THE BACK OF THE SEDAN BC IT HAPPENED TO BE A FRIENDS AND WE WERE TALKING ON THE PHONE TOGETHER. AND NO POINT DID ANYTHING FLING UP FROM THE ROAD AND THERE WERE NO TREES, BRIDGES, OR ANYTHING ABOVE THE ROAD. SHE COULD HERE THE NOISE FROM HER CAR AS WELL AND WE BOTH WERE LIKE OMG WHAT WAS THAT SOUND, AND THEN A SECOND TIME THE BOMB LIKE SOUND HAPPENED. ABOUT TWO MINS LATER I PULLED BACK INTO MY GARAGE AND BEGAN INSPECTING MY CAR AND THAT WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS MY SUN ROOF. MY SUN ROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NO WHERE. I LIVE IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND ON THIS DAY WE WERE UNDER YET ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AROUND 12:53PM IT WAS CLEAR SUNNY SKIES AND 95 DEGREES OUTSIDE WITH A HEAT INDEX OF 115. THE ACHING A/C WAS SET TO 71 INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR COVER TO SUNROOF WAS CLOSED THANKFULLY BECAUSE OTHERWISE THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE WITH GLASS FLYING AND FALLING EVERYWHERE.

THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE AUTO IDLE STOP FUNCTION IS ENGAGED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE IN TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY AND STREETS OR AT STOP SIGNS AND STOPPING BRIEFLY AND AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO PARK AND MUST BE RE-STARTED BY PRESSING THE "ON/OFF" BUTTON. IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. ALSO I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING THE VEHICLE'S "HEATED SEAT SYSTEM PROBLEM". SECONDLY THE VEHICLES COLLISION WARNING COMES ON WHEN THERE IS NOTHING AROUND AND SAYS THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT.

WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR, I HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR UP AND THERE WERE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM NOT WORKING; OTHER THINGS THAT WEREN'T WORKING WERE THE HEATED SEATS OR THE REAR CLIMATE CONTROLS. LATER THAT DAY, THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN WAS BLACK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR MY 2018 TOURING THAT IS ALMOST 50K!

CABIN WATCH SCREEN GOES BLACK AND SHOWS ERROR "CAMERA SYSTEM PROBLEM IMAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED". THIS OCCURS WHILE IN USE TRAVELING. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 40 MILES PER HOUR ON A BACK ROAD WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. THE ROAD WAS ONE LANE EACH DIRECTION, FULLY MARKED WITH LINES, AND GENTLE ROLLING HILLS. IN A ABOUT MILE LONG STRAIGHT STRETCH I CAME UPON A CYCLIST USING THE CENTER OF MY LANE AND CLIMBING ONE OF THE HILLS. I COASTED A LITTLE BIT SLOWER AND THEN MOVED FULLY INTO THE ONCOMING LANE TO GIVE THE CYCLIST PLENTY OF ROOM. AT THIS SAME TIME A CAR POPPED OVER THE FURTHEST VISIBLE HILL A LITTLE LESS THAN MILE AWAY. AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR STOPPED TAKING ACCELERATOR INPUT. I WAS GOING UP A HILL NEXT TO A CYCLIST AND LOSING SPEED RAPIDLY. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PASS WITH MAYBE 4 SECONDS TO SPARE ENDED UP BEING LESS THAN 2 SECONDS AND A LITTLE FRIGHTENING. I PULLED IN FRONT OF THE CYCLIST MUCH CLOSER THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED. ONCE I WAS BACK IN THE LANE THE CAR GAVE ME CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN. DURING THE INCIDENT THE WERE NO WARNINGS AUDIBLE, VISIBLE, OR HAPTIC PROVIDED BY THE CAR. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS UNUSUAL WAS THE ENGINE GOING TO IDLE AND THE ACCELERATOR NOT RESPONDING.

MY BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT FUNCTION OR CANNOT BE VIEWED DUE TO ERROR MESSAGES, SYSTEM FREEZING, CAMERA ERRORS WHICH IS UNSAFE. THE RADIO IS EFFECTED AND THE HVAC CONTROLS, TOO. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, WHEN STARTING THE CAR AS WELL. I HAVE REAR WINDOWS THAT WILL NOT ROLL UP, WHICH IS UNSAFE. WIPERS ALSO DO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THEY WIPE TOO SLOW OR TOO FAST AND CANNOT BE CONTROLLED, WHICH IS UNSAFE. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS.

AT RANDOM TIMES EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING, THE AUDIO MULTI FUNCTION UNIT WILL LOCK UP AND DISABLE VARIOUS FEATURES OF THE CAR INCLUDING SECURITY SYSTEMS AND CLIMATE CONTROL. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATE THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT AND THAT I SHOULD TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON TO TRY TO RESET IT. SOMETIMES THIS WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. AS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ALREADY CONCERNING ELECTRONIC CONTROLS AND SAFETY SYSTEMS I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS RANDOMLY PRESENT MALFUNCTION COULD CREATE A CRITICAL SYSTEM FAILURE AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.

THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THE LATCHES ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS. I WAS NOTIFIED AT THE END OF 2018 ABOUT THIS RECALL HOWEVER MY DEALERSHIP (HUBLER HONDA) DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AT THAT TIME. THEY ENCOURAGED ME TO BRING MY VAN TO BACK TO HUBLER HONDA AT THE BEGINNING OF 2019 AS THE PARTS WOULD BE MORE READILY AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW JULY 25. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW AND THAT DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME, TODAY, THAT THE PARTS ARE BACKORDERED AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THE LATCHES. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT SAFE WITH THREE CHILDREN AND UNACCEPTABLE. CAN SOMEONE HELP? I KNOW I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENING TO. TOWARDS THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, THERE WERE MULTIPLE EPISODES IN THE CAR PICK UP LINE. MY CHILDREN WOULD CLIMB INTO MY STOPPED VAN, PUSH THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE DOOR, IT WOULD CLOSE ALMOST COMPLETELY, AND THEN OPEN BACK UP.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW ON 07/10/2017. IT HAS BEEN TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES BECAUSE IT WON'T START. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS TOWED IN, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE SECOND TIME IT SAT IN MY GARAGE FOR TWO DAYS. WE WERE UNABLE TO START THE VAN. THE VAN HAS A KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM. THE VAN WOULD NOT UNLOCK, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULDN'T LIGHT UP AND IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK FOR THE CAR. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TRIED TO START THE VAN BY JUMPING THE BATTERY AND HE COULD NOT START IT. IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THAT SUNDAY. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME ON MONDAY MORNING AND TOLD ME THAT COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE VAN. THEY SAID IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEY SAID THEY TRIED TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT. I PICKED THE VAN UP THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEN ON 07/19/2019 MY WIFE DROVE THE VAN TO A LOCAL VENUE WITH THE GRANDCHILDREN. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, SHE CAME OUT TO THE VAN AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AGAIN. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SENT ANOTHER TOW TRUCK TO PICK IT UP. ONCE AGAIN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO JUMP START THE VAN, AND ONCE AGAIN IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THE VAN WAS TOWED OVER TO HONDA WHERE ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE VAN. IT STARTED FINE. THEY KEPT IT TWO DAYS CHECKING IT OUT AND ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN 2 YEARS THAT THE VAN HAS TO BE TOWED IN AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I HAVE THE ONLY HONDA ODYSSEY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS AND FIND THE PROBLEM.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR DRIVER SIDE DOOR SINCE IT WAS 6 MONTHS OLD THEY HAVE FIXED IT TWICE NOW INCLUDING THE RECALL A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND IT IS BACK TO NOT CLOSING. THE FIRST TIME THEY FIXED IT WHEN WE WERE WAITING ON PARTS THE DOOR GOT TOTALLY SUCK CLOSED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED ANY WAY. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE 10 PLUS VIDEOS FROM OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS WHERE THE DOOR REFUSED TO CLOSE AND BOUNCE BACK OPEN MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE TO SWITCH THE DOOR TO MANUAL TO GET IT TO CLOSE, WE ALSO GET A ANTI THEFT ERROR AT LEAST 1 TIME A WEEK AND HONDA HAS NO IDEA ON THAT ERROR EITHER. ALL MY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ARE TOO BIG TO ATTACH.

WHILE DRIVING ON I65 THE DRIVER'S SCREEN THAT DISPLAYS SPEED, RPMS, FUEL GAUGE, ETC WENT COMPLETELY BLACK FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG, THE DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG, AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG (A TOTAL OF 4 AIRBAGS) OF THE 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY LX UNNECESSARILY AND DANGEROUSLY DEPLOYED IN A REAR-END COLLISION THAT DID NOT DID NOT CAUSE SIDE DISPLACEMENT OR ROLLOVER OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH NO PASSENGERS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD EVEN HAVE BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD IF, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WERE A CHILD IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS OCCURRENCE CONTRADICTS THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE OWNER'S GUIDE, WHICH STATE THAT THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED AIRBAGS SHOULD DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF SIDE IMPACT OR ROLLOVER SITUATIONS. THIS UNNECESSARY AND DANGEROUS AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT: A) INCREASED THE RISK OF A SECONDARY COLLISION BY STARTLING AND DISTRACTING THE DRIVER AT THE EXACT TIME IT WAS CRUCIAL TO FOCUS AND SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE, B) INCREASED THE ACCIDENT-INDUCED TRAUMATIC STRESS ON THE DRIVER FROM THE IMPACT SHOCK OF THE DEPLOYED AIRBAGS, AND C) INCREASED THE COST OF VEHICLE REPAIR BY NECESSITATING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE NEEDLESSLY DEPLOYED AIRBAGS, WHICH IS ABOUT 40% OF THE ESTIMATED TOTAL COST OF REPAIR. REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY, TORRANCE, CA, HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE IT. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS.

WHEN AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR OPEN/CLOSE IS ENABLED THE DOOR WILL OPEN, BUT WILL NOT CLOSE. WHEN THE DOORS ARE PLACED IN MANUAL MODE, THE DOOR PANEL COMES LOOSE FROM THE FORCE OF THE DOOR CLOSING MAKING IT SO THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED BECAUSE THE LOOSE DOOR PANEL EXTENDS OUT JUST FAR ENOUGH TO WEDGE ITSELF LIKE A DOOR STOP.

UNUSUAL SUPER LOUD NOISE COME FROM AC FAN UNDER THE HOOD WHEN AC IS ON.

THE REARVIEW CAMERA ISN'T FUNCTIONING. THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, AND THE REARVIEW CAMERA IS NEVER DISPLAYED WHEN THE CAR IS IN REVERSE.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STATIONARY POSITION OR WHENEVER MORE SPEED IS NEEDED. HAPPENS WHEN GOING UPHILL OR LANE CHANGING WHEN MORE SPEED IS NEEDED.

CAR WAS POWERED OFF ON LEVEL GROUND, NO LIGHTS, RADIO, NOTHING WAS TURNED ON IN CAR. NO SENSORS DISPLAYED IN DASHBOARD, NO SOUNDS FROM CAR. HATCH WAS LEFT OPENED FOR 2 DAYS FOR AN EVENT. WHEN EVENT OVER, CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID CAR BATTERY DIED. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY BAD BATTERY SINCE NOTHING WAS ON BATTERY SHOULD NOT DRAIN. I SUSPECT IT'S A FUSE ISSUE WITH THE HATCH DOOR DRAINING THE BATTERY NOT A BAD BATTERY.

BEGINNING AT 10,077 MILES MY VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING DEFECT SYMPTOMS WITH FAILURES OF ITS CENTRAL CONTROL PANEL TOUCH SCREEN/DISPLAY. MULTIPLE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES ARE CONTROLLED AND DISPLAYED THROUGH THE TOUCH SCREEN. MANY FAILURES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WITH VIDEO AND IN THE PRESENCE OF QUALIFIED HONDA SERVICE PERSONNEL. THIS CENTRAL TOUCH SCREEN ALSO SERVES AS A CONTROLLER FOR RADIO-MEDIA CONNECTIVITY, PHONE CALLS, NAVIGATION, AND IT IS THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY. FAILURE SYMPTOMS INCLUDED ISSUES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION: SLOW NAVIGATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, DELAYED BACKUP CAMERA IMAGES WHEN TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, DISPLAY "FREEZING", WARNING MESSAGES APPEARING ON DISPLAY, TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY WHICH STAYS ON ALL NIGHT AND DRAINS BATTERY AFTER VEHICLE IS SHUT DOWN, AND CAMERA FAILURE MESSAGES. THE BACKUP CAMERA IS SOMETIMES COMPLETELY NONFUNCTIONAL WHEN REVERSING THE VEHICLE. TWO HONDA DEALERS HAVE VERIFIED THAT THE COMPLETELY NONFUNCTIONAL BACKUP CAMERA ISSUE EXISTS. EACH CONTROL/DISPLAY OCCURRENCE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION REPRESENTS A DISTRACTION OF DRIVER ATTENTION. THE TOUCH SCREEN/DISPLAY/CENTRAL CONTROLLER/AUDIO UNIT HAS NOW HAD 11 REPAIR VISITS. I HAVE SUBSTANTIAL VIDEO AND PRINTED DOCUMENTATION. AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE THAT SUCH PROBLEMS EXIST, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY, FURTHER, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY DENIES THAT FAILED BACKUP CAMERA PERFORMANCE IS A SAFETY MATTER. *BF 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS CONSTANTLY. CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAYS MESSAGE: 'CAMERA SYSTEM PROBLEM. IMAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED.' THIS WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR IS ON WHETHER I'M DRIVING OR NOT. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENING MORE OFTEN WHEN THE AC IS USED. IT ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPENS WHENEVER REMOTE START FEATURE IS USED.

THE VEHICLE IS HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. THE SPEED SEEMS TO VARY, THE RANGE IS BETWEEN 24 AND 33 MPH. IT SEEM TO BE MOST PREVALENT AFTER BEING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, 45 MINUTES AND LONGER. THEN WHEN AACCELERATING GENTLY FROM A STOP IT CAN LURCH WHEN SHIFTING, OR SHIFT HARD AND MAKE AN AUDIBLE CLUNK. OTHER TIMES, NOT HAVING BEEN DRIVEN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, IN THE SAME SPEED RANGE, 24 TO 33 MPH, DURING GENTLE ACCELERATION IT DOES NOT SHIFT EASILY OR SMOOTHLY. THERE IS NOT NECESSARILY A CLUNK (THERE CAN BE), BUT IT DOES NOT SHIFT NORMALLY OR SMOOTHLY, I WOULD DESCRIBE IT A MISS OR LURCH. IN BOTH CASES IT WILL SHIFT, BUT NOT AS IT SHOULD. THIS BEGAN AROUND 17,000 MILES. I AM NOTICING VERY FINE VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THROUGHOUT THE FRONT END, ITS NOT ALL THE TIME, BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. I AM UNABLE TO ASSOCIATE IT WITH ANY PARTICULAR SPEED OR STRETCH OF ROAD, BUT IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW.

THE SECOND ROW SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT LOCK AT TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT WOULD SLIDE BACK AND FORTH. I WOULD HAVE TO PARK THE CAR WHEN ON THE ROAD AND TRY TO LOCK THE SEAT TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING AGAIN ON THE CITY STREET BEFORE GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE SAME SEAT DON'T LOCK FORWARD AT ALL WHEN PEOPLE FROM THE THIRD ROW SEAT IS TRYING TO GET OUT. THE SEAT WOULD SLIDE, AND A FEW KIDS INCLUDING MY MOTHER HAD ALREADY GOTTEN INJURED FROM TRYING TO GET OUT FROM THE THIRD ROW SEAT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTION, AND PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET OUT THROUGH THE SECOND ROW SEAT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY TODDLER'S CARSEAT IS ON THE SECOND ROW SEAT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SO PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR SIDE, AND I FEEL THAT MY TODDLER WOULD BE SAFER STRAPPED ONTO A SEAT THAT ACTUALLY LOCKS IN PLACE. WE NOTICED THE ISSUE AFTER A WEEK OR TWO AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW VEHICLE.

***2018 HONDA ODYSSEY CAUGHT FIRE WHILE OPERATIONAL**** ON 24TH APRIL 2019, ON HER WAY TO DROP OUR KID TO SCHOOL, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS VEHICLE GOT SMOKE AT FIRST AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE WHILE IT WAS OPERATIONAL. MY WIFE PULLED OVER AND TOOK THE KID OUT IMMEDIATELY. THE PASSING BY GARBAGE TRUCK DRIVER STARTED TO CONTROL FIRE TILL COPS AND FIREMEN TEAM ARRIVED. THE FIRE WAS CONTROLLED BY EXCELLENT EFFORTS OF THAT COP/TRUCK DRIVER. THE FIRE APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED NEAR 3RD ROW DRIVER SIDE SEAT...MY 3 YEAR OLD WAS ON THE DRIVER SIDE 2ND ROW SEAT---JUST 1.5FT AWAY FROM IT. LUCKILY, MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE NOT HURT. I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING UP WITH GEICO INSURANCE, US HONDA (CASE# 09517538) RIGOROUSLY. I AM REALLY INCLINED TO KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THAT VIRTUALLY THREATENED THE LIVES OF MY WIFE AND CHILD. I AM STILL AWAITING RESPONSE FROM THEM. ONE OF MY FRIENDS SUGGESTED ME TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO NTSB AND THEY REDIRECTED ME TO NHTSA. MY INTENT IS TO ENSURE THAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS MISHAP CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND RECTIFIED ASAP BY US HONDA AS THESE HONDA ODYSSEYS ARE DRIVEN MOSTLY BY FAMILIES WITH KIDS. I WAS UNDER AN IMPRESSION FROM THESE FOLLOWUPS THAT THIS INCIDENT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO APPROPRIATE FEDERAL/STATE AUTHORITIES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NHTSA HELP ME IN MY QUEST TO UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY WENT WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CHECK ENGINE AND COLLISION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. HONDA OF OLATHE (1000 N ROGERS RD, OLATHE, KS 66062, (913) 782-3636) DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE AND THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAGS AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON WHILE MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING.

AUTO SHIFTING ANYWHERE FROM 20-30MPH RESULTS IN HARD SHIFT OR KNOCK. WHEN VAN IS DOWNSHIFTING THERE IS AN ACCELERATION OR KNOCK. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 22,000 MILES. NO EXPLANATION FOR THE CAUSE. THIS WAS NOTICED ABOUT 3 MONTHS INTO OWNING THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW AT 8 MILES FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. IT TOOK THEM 13 MONTHS OF A CONTINUOUS CYCLE OF GOING INTO THE HONDA CERTIFIED SHOP FOR THEM TO BELIEVE US. NOW OUR VEHICLE AT 25,000 MILES CONTINUES TO REPRODUCE THE SAME PROBLEM.

AUTO SHIFTING ANYWHERE FROM 20-30 MPH RESULTS IN HARD SHIFT AND KNOCK. WHEN VAN DOWNSHIFTS AROUND 20-30 MPH THERE IS A JUMP OF ACCELERATION AND KNOCK. SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING AND GEARS SHIFT THERE IS UN EXPECTED JUMP IN ACCELERATION

BOTH REAR DOORS BECOME STUCK AND COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THE POWER DOOR MECHANISM HAS FAILED AND NOW THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THERE IS NO WAY TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE.

TRIED TO PULL OUT OF PARKING LOT ACROSS 2 BUSY LANES TO MAKE MY TURN AND CAR WENT INTO IDLE WHILE DRIVING, HIT THE GAS PEDAL SINCE CARS WERE COMING AT HIGH SPEED AT ME AND IT WOKE UP. A DAY LATER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY HONDA APP CALLED UPDATE PARK LOGIC SAFETY RECALL AND SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT IMMEDIATELY FOR 4/29/19 TO BE TOLD THEY GET THE SAME COMPLAINT OFTEN AND CARS BROUGHT IN. THE AUTO IDLE THAT COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY SHOULD BE ACTIVATED BY BREAK PEDAL AND WOKEN UP WHEN LET GO BUT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS, IT ACTUALLY COULD GET ACTIVATED IF SOMEONE WITH BIGGER FEET ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHES THE GAS PEDAL. NOT SURE THAT IS TRUE BECAUSE NOBODY HAS THAT BIG OF FEET TO PRESS FULLY BOTH GAS AND BREAK PEDAL AND IDLE DOES NOT COME ON UNLESS BREAK PEDAL IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY. THIS IS SERIOUS ISSUE IF YOU TRY TO PULL OUT OF PARKING LOT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR JUST REFUSES TO GO BUT HONDA KEEPS STICKING TO SAME STORY AND BASICALLY WANTS TO MAKE ME BELIEVE BOTH BREAK AND GAS PEDAL WERE PUSHED AT SAME TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH MY SIZE 7 SHOE AND IF THAT WAS THE CASE WHY DID THE CAR MOVE OUT OF PARKING LOT AND DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET? I POSSIBLY TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL BUT DEFINITELY NOT PUSHED IT AND HONDA IS TELLING ME "SAFETY SYSTEM FOR THE BRAKE OVERRIDE IS WORKING AS DESIGNED, IF BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL ARE PRESSED AT SAME TIME THE SYSTEM THINKS YOU ARE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE SO IT CUTS POWER TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ACCELERATION". BUT IF I AM PULLING OUT IN THE BUSY STREET WHY WOULD I BE PRESSING BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL, ONLY GAS TO GET AWAY BEFORE I GET TAKEN OUT OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN EXCUSE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT.

WHEN CLOSING THE POWER SLIDING DOOR, IT REVERSES DIRECTION.

VAN WAS PARKED INSIDE A GARAGE WITH NO DAMAGE. WALKED INTO THE GARAGE HOURS LATER AND NOTICED THE DRIVERS REAR QUARTER PANEL WINDOW CRACKING AND BREAKING APART ON ITS OWN. GLASS BREAKAGE PATTERN APPEARS TO BE SPONTANEOUS WINDOW FAILURE POSSIBLY DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT. MAY CAUSE SAFETY HAZARD IF I WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH KIDS IN THE REAR SEAT AND IT GAVE WAY THEN.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN HIGHWAY AT 70 MILE/H, THE SUNROOF GLASS BROKEN. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING HIT MY CAR, NO TRUCK AND BRIDGE NEAR BY.

THE VAN BRAKES HAVE SQUEALED SINCE BRAND NEW 2018 PURCHASED, RETURNED VAN AND THEY INSTALLED NEW BRAKE PADS AND POSSIBLE OTHER PARTS HOWEVER THE BRAKES STILL SQUEAL, IVE CALLED AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHATS WRONG AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX. THE 2ND ISSUE IS THE CDS WHEN PLAYED GET VERY HOT LIKE ON FIRE HOT, TOOK VAN IN TO GET LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE CD PLAYER . THE FIX DID NOT WORK THE NEW CD PLAYER STILL MAKES THE CDS VERY HOT LIKE ITS GOING TO START A FIRE. THE CDS ARE SO HOT THAT I CANT EVEN HOLD THEM. I BELIEVE A FIRE WILL START

WHILE DRIVING ON A 50 MPH, TWO LANE ROAD, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AUTONOMOUSLY AFTER EXPERIENCING A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND PROHIBITED THE DRIVER FROM RETAKING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITH NO POWER AVAILABLE, THE DRIVER WAS ULTIMATELY FORCED TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WARNING MESSAGES INDICATED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE, EMISSION CONTROL FAILURE, AND BLIND SPOT MONITORING FAILURE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER.

SUDDEN 'POP' NOISE WAS HEARD AS COMING TO A STOP ON EXIT RAMP OF HIGHWAY. FOUND OUT THAT THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS BROCKEN IN PIECES. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT IT WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE. INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE ON VEHICLE PRIOR TO CUSTOMER PAYING FOR THE SINCE AMERICAN HONDA WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE GLASS. THE DEALER WRAP THE GLASS OVER BUT STILL THOROUGH INVESTIGATION HAS NOT BEEN DONE. CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY FILED IT AS COMPLAINTS AND BELIEVES WHAT DEALER SAYS SINCE TECHNICIAN IS THEIR INVESTIGATOR. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED AT BY ANY TECHNICIAN YET.

THE ENGINE STALL WHEN TRYING TO ENTER TRAFFIC AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION,IT PAUSES FOR A WHILE TAKE LONG TIME TO PICK UP.THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC OR STOP SIGN.IT HAPPENED CONSTANTLY SINCE PURCHASED.ALSO AFTER STOP ,I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS HARDLY TO PICK UP TO NORMAL DRIVE I WENT DEALER TWO TIMES THEY CHECK THE CAR AND THEY CAN'T RESOLVE THIS ISSUES VEHICLE HAS ALSO SAFETY RECALL ,THEY FIXED IT I HAD PROBLEMS WITH AUDIO SYSTEM,NO SOUNDS THEY REPLACE IT

I SHOULD HAVE NEVER GONE BACK TO HONDA! MY 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS BEEN ANOTHER LEMON! BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CPO ON DECEMBER 21, 2018 WITH JUST OVER 3,000 MILES. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES TO FIX THIS INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. I HAD THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD BLACK OUT ON ME AND COULDN'T SEE MY SPEED, YET THE HONDA DEALERSHIP NEAR ME TOLD ME 'JUST DRIVE IT TO WORK, IT'LL BE OKAY.' THEN THE INFOTAINMENT WENT OUT AND NOTHING WORKED FOR WEEKS UNTIL ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WAS NICE ENOUGH TO REPLACE IT. JUST YESTERDAY MY INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM MAKES A VERY LOUD 'BEEP' AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY! THEN THE DASHBOARD BLACKS OUT AND THE CAR 'SAFETY FEATURES ' CAUSE IT TO BREAK! WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP I AM TOLD 'WE WILL HAVE TO RECREATE THAT PROBLEM BEFORE ANYTHING IT DONE' ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I TAKE MY KIDS AROUND IN THIS MINI VAN. I PUSHED TO GO BACK TO HONDA BECAUSE 'THEY HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER', BUT IT TURNS OUT THEY HAVEN'T.

CABIN WATCH MALFUNCTIONS AND TURNS OFF, WHEN THAT OCCURS THE REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FREEZES AND STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY JUST A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. NOW I KNOW TO TURN THE SCREEN UP WHEN THE CABIN WATCH MALFUNCTIONS SO THAT MY BATTERY DOES NOT DRAIN. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS ALSO MALFUNCTION FREQUENTLY SO I CANNOT CHANGE THE STATION VIA THE STEERING WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MADE AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING SOUND DURING ACCELERATION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SACO HONDA (754 PORTLAND RD, SACO, ME 04072, (207) 282-0900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW LOWER BEARING, SHORT BOX, PISTONS, CYLINDERS, AND CRANKSHAFT NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WANTED THE CONTACT TO SIGN OFF ON A $2,500 PROMOTION TO KEEP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,373.

ON 30 DEC 2018 AS MY FAMILY AND I DROVE THROUGH OSCEOLA COUNTY, FLORIDA, OUR ODYSSEY DISPLAYED AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT READ, "SOME DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEMS CANNOT OPERATE: RADAR OBSTRUCTED." THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 70 DEG F AND IT WAS MODERATELY FOGGY. THE MESSAGE CLEARED ITSELF AFTER 20-30 MINUTES AND THE DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEMS CAME BACK ONLINE. WE DID NOT SEE ANY SUCH ERROR FOR THE REST OF OUR TRIP. AT THE END OF OUR TRIP, ON 3 JAN 2019, WHEN MY FAMILY AND I WERE JUST OUTSIDE CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO BRAKE QUITE AGGRESSIVELY WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT, AS IF IT WERE AVOIDING A COLLISION. IT OCCURRED NEAR MILE MARKER 115 ON I-64 WESTBOUND, ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE AT DUSK ON DRY PAVEMENT. WE WERE PERHAPS 1000-1200 FT FROM THE EXIT ITSELF, WELL BEYOND THE RANGE OF THE 'EXTRA LONG' SETTING ON THE ACC AT 70 MPH. THE ONLY CARS IN FRONT OF US WERE ALREADY AT THE EXIT AND DID NOT APPEAR TO BE UNDERGOING ANY UNUSUAL MANEUVERS. THIS OFF-RAMP IS PARTICULARLY LONG AT THIS EXIT SO I WOULD NOT ANTICIPATE THAT THOSE VEHICLES JUST ENTERING THE RAMP WERE DECELERATING RAPIDLY. I WAS USING ACC AND LKAS, AS I HAD DURING MOST OF OUR TRIP. WHEN THE VAN WAS BRAKING, I INSTINCTIVELY DEPRESSED THE THROTTLE PEDAL TO TRY TO MAINTAIN SPEED. THAT RESULTED IN THE ENGINE REVVING AND NO CHANGE TO THE HARD BRAKING. I DISENGAGED THE ACC USING THE 'CANCEL' BUTTON AND THAT APPEARED TO END THE HARD BRAKING (I MAY HAVE BRIEFLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME BUT CANNOT BE SURE). I WILL ALSO ESTIMATE THAT WE WENT FROM AROUND 70 MPH TO AROUND 30-40 MPH IN THOSE 2-3 SECONDS. THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS EXTERNAL REASON FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKING MANEUVER INSTIGATED BY THE HONDA'S ONBOARD SYSTEM. THIS PRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL HAZARD. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY BEHIND US OR WE WOULD HAVE RUN A VERY HIGH RISK OF REAR COLLISION. *JS

FIRST INCIDENT IN 2018, THE MINIVAN CAME TO A QUICK COMPLETE STOP UNNECESSARILY. A CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD MADE A QUICK TURN, I WAS NOT IN DANGER OF RUNNING INTO THE CAR. I HAD A DRIVER BEHIND ME HONKING HIS HORN. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. NEXT INCIDENT OCCURRED THIS MONTH, MARCH, 2019. DRIVING DOWN A STREET, 25 M.P.H. THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I HAD TO PULL OVER, THE WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. AFTER PULLING OVER, I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND DROVE HOME. GOOD THING I WAS NOT ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE.BOTH OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS. AUGUST 16, 2018 FIRST INCIDENT. MARCH 11, 2019. DT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE PARKING, STOPPING, AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED 4 TO 5 INCHES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRAD BARKER HONDA (1602 GENERAL ELECTRIC ROAD, BLOOMINGTON, IL 61704, 309-663-9591) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. *LD *TR

ON THE US 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY MODEL, THERE IS NO LOW WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WARNING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I FOUND THIS OUT ON A SLOPPY, SALTY WISCONSIN INTERSTATE NEXT TO A SEMI WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. SALT ON A WINDSHIELD GIVES YOU ZERO VISIBILITY WITHOUT WASHER FLUID, AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE AND MAKE IT TO A GAS STATION TO FILL WITH WASHER FLUID WITHOUT INCIDENT. MY 2000 EXPLORER AND 2010 RAV4 HAVE LOW WASHER FLUID WARNING LIGHTS. WITH THE 1000S OF DOLLARS OF ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SAFETY FEATURES BUILT INTO THE ODYSSEY, CONSUMERS EXPECT THE INEXPENSIVE SIMPLE THINGS LIKE A LOW WASHER FLUID WARNING. THIS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO RECALL.

POWER SLIDING DOOR CLOSURE

I'VE HAD MY 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING FOR 2 MONTHS; IT HAS 2600 MILES. MY VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE! THE CAR MADE A POPCORN/GRAVEL SLAMMING AGAINST THE CAR SOUND WHILE FELT AS THOUGH THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE VAN WAS TRYING TO SEPARATE FROM THE TOP!! TALK ABOUT FRIGHTENING! IT BRIEFLY FLASHED ""COLLISION MITIGATION"-SOMETHING,, BUT IT WAS JUST ON THE SCREEN FOR A HALF-SECOND. I PULIED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE DRIVE BUTTON. IT HAPPENED AGAIN MAYBE 10 MINUTES LATER ON A BUSY ROAD TRAVELING AT 45MPH. I ARRIVED AT MY FIRST DESTINATION, RESEARCHED HOW TO TURN OFF THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM, AND CONTINUED TO MY SECOND DESTINATION. IT HAPPENED TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO THAT DESTINATION, FLASHING THE SAME WARNING SO QUICKLY THAT I COULDN'T READ IT, SAME NOISE, VIBRATION. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT IT. THEY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. "BEST EDUCATED GUESSED" THAT THE BATTERY WAS THE PROBLEM, THOUGH I NEVER RECEIVED A LOW BATTERY WARNING FROM MY VEHICLE, AND THEY PERFORMED A BATTERY RESET PROCEDURE. THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTS ME TO DRIVE MY FAMILY HOME IN THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT CHANGING OR EVEN INSPECTING THE TRANSMISSION OR PARKING PAWL, WHICH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE LOAD POPCORN/GRAVEL NOISE. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND A CASE HAS BEEN OPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT WAS REMOVING ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE WITH THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPEN. THE SLIDING DOOR WOULD INADVERTENTLY CLOSE, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO BECOME PINNED BETWEEN THE SLIDING DOOR AND THE DOOR FRAME. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

I HAVE FOUND THE POWER SLIDING DOOR OPEN WHEN I RETURNED TO MY PARKED VAN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN MY VAN FOR RECALL 18V-795 WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THE POWER SLIDING DOOR COMPONENTS, BUT I FOUND MY SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPEN AGAIN EVEN AFTER THE RECALL FIX. SO I THINK HONDA HAS NOT COMPLETELY FIXED THE WHOLE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHEN THE CONTACT PRESSED THE REMOTE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS, THE WINDOWS AND SUN ROOF WOULD ERRONEOUSLY OPEN. IN ADDITION, THE ALARM WOULD RANDOMLY ACTIVATE ON OCCASION AND, AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

PANEL BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL IS MISSING. THIS EXPOSES A LARGE AREA OF ELECTRICAL WIRES. A DRIVER WILL EASILY BE ABLE TO GET HIS FEET THERE WHILE STRETCHING HIS LEGS AND INTENTIONALLY MESS UP THE WIRING. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL FOR 2018 MODELS OF ODYSSEY.

AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, AN ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS "CAMERA SYSTEM FAILURE" AND THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED OFF STREET IN FREEZING COLD OVERNIGHT, UPPER TWENTIES, 32F WHEN THIS HAPPENED. VEHICLE IS PARKED NOT IN MOTION, REMOTE STARTED. DRIVER DOOR WOULD GET LOCKED IMMEDIATELY WHEN UNLOCKED FROM OUTSIDE, MULTIPLE TRIES TO PULL THE DOOR HANDLE WOULD UNLOCK AND LOCK IMMEDIATELY AND EVENTUALLY OPEN THE DOOR. ONCE DRIVER GETS IN, AND CLOSES THE DOOR, IT IS LOCKED FROM INSIDE AND WOULD NOT OPEN. DOOR LOCK SWITCH, DRIVER DOOR HANDLE AND KEY FOB FAIL TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE. ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IS THROUGH A PASSENGER DOOR. IF THE VEHICLE IS UNLOCKED, DRIVER DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE BUT NOT INSIDE, JUST LIKE A CHILD LOCK WORKS ON A PASSENGER DOOR. ANOTHER TRICKY WAY TO OPEN DRIVER DOOR IS TO UNLOCK, ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER WINDOW AND PULL THE HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE.

MY CAR HAS BEEN ISSUED A RECALL AND I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA AUTONATION CHANDLER AZ; WHEN I ARRIVED, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND SAID TO GO TO TEMPE HONDA INSTEAD.

PANEL BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL IS MISSING. THIS EXPOSES A LARGE AREA OF ELECTRICAL WIRES. A DRIVER WILL EASILY BE ABLE TO GET HIS FEET THERE WHILE STRETCHING HIS LEGS AND INTENTIONALLY MESS UP THE WIRING. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE HAZARD AND ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD. PICTURES UPLOADED. EARLIER MODELS (2006 WHICH I OWN) HAS A MAJORITY IF THIS AREA COVERED BY PANEL. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL FOR 2018 MODELS OF ODYSSEY.

CRAKLING SOUND ON DASH FROM SIDE TO SIDE, NOISY AND STRONGER BY THE WEEKS. TOOK CA TO THE DEALER WITH 12K MILES; THREE ATTEMPTS WERE MADE. HONDA SERVICE REPLACED THE AUDIO SYSTEM, NEXT ATTEMPTS THEY SAID IT WAS MY IPHONE CABLE. NOW, WITH 14K MILES, CAN'T USE RADIO, BLUETOOTH, CARPLAY AND THE ENT SYSTEM FREEZES. ANY CALL I MAKE OR RECEIVE, THE CRACKLIN STARTS AND CALL FREEZES UNTIL GETS DISCONNECTED. DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR ON THE ROAD. HAVE MORE THAN 10 VIDEOS SHOWING THE PROBLEM. WILL GO NOW TO THE 4TH ATTEMPT TO SEE IF IT CAN BE FIXED.

JUST PURCHASED THIS VAN, BRAND NEW, LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO. WHEN DRIVING MY CAR, AND IN THE MIDST OF A TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, MY CAR SHUT DOWN. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, I COULDN'T MOVE THE WHEEL. IT JUST WENT DEAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE SERIES OF ISSUES I HAD EXPERIENCED IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS EVENT, WHICH INCLUDED NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE TRUNK, A MESSAGE FLASHING THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND TO TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE (NO LIGHTS WERE ON), ANTI-THEFT MESSAGE CAME UP TWICE, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE FRONT SAFETY SENSORS SAID THEY WERE NOT OPERABLE (WHICH ARE CONTROLLED BY A BOX BY FRONT REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND SENSOR WAS NOT BLOCKED), CALLS HAVE BEEN DROPPED RANDOMLY, SIDE DOORS STICK, ETC. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN OTA SYSTEM UPDATE, AND THAT THE CAR SHUT DOWN AS A RESULT. WHEN I QUESTIONED WHY THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION DUE TO A NEED FOR A SYSTEM UPDATE, I WAS TOLD THAT IS WHAT THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO DO. I AGAIN REPEATED, THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION JUST BECAUSE OF A SYSTEM UPDATE? I WAS TOLD YES, ALL COMPUTER ASSISTED CARS ARE DESIGNED THAT WAY. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING ELSE IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT PERILOUS DANGER AND RISK WHEN THESE CARS ARE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE NOW BEFORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OCCUR AND SOMEONE DIES. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING MY FAMILY BACK IN THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH NO SATISFACTORY ANSWER FROM THE DEALER ON WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE.

UPON PROCEEDING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE VAN BEGAN TO AUTOMATICALLY BREAK TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM APPROXIMATELY 30-35MPH, SCREECHING TIRES, THEN SHUTTING COMPLETELY OFF. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CLUSTER WAS DARK AS WAS THE COMPUTER DISPLAY FOR THE RADIO/OTHER CONTROLS. LOOKING DOWN THE "PARK" INDICATOR WAS LIT RED. I PRESSED THE BREAK AND THE VAN STARTED UP AND WENT INTO GEAR DRIVING AS IF NOTHING OCCURRED. THIS SCARED ME AND UPON MY CALL TO HONDA, THEY SAID IT'S RELATED TO ANOTHER "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UPDATE" WHICH NEEDS TO OCCUR BUT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I REACHED OUT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THE SITUATION AND THEY ADVISED ME TO USE THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE THE VAN TAKEN TO THEM FOR SAFETY REASONS.

USUALLY AT LOWER SPEED(15~30MPH), TRANSMISSION STRUGGLES TO SHIFTING GEAR. AND HESITATES TO SHIFT. ALSO, THERE IS SHIFT SHOCK AT LOW SPEED. IT IS WORST IN THE MORNING. I WENT TO DEALER TO CHECK THAT CONDITION AND TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IS NORMAL.

"TAKATA RECALL" SECOND: UPON CLOSING THE REAR SLIDING DOORS THEY BECAME STUCK IN AN OPEN POSITION. IT TOOK STOPPING AND PHYSICALLY CLOSING THEM TO ENSURE THEY WOULD CLOSE AND LOCK. UPON RESEARCH HONDA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS BRAND NEW VAN FOR THE SLIDING DOORS AS WELL BUT FAILED TO MENTION IT DURING OUR RECENT SERVICE AND COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LOADING.

TWICE IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, THE CAR WAS PARALLEL PARKED AND I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE (PUSH BUTTON SIFTER). UPON THE VEHICLE BEGINNING TO MOVE IN FORWARD MOTION IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY SHIFT BACK INTO PARK. I REPEATED AN IT DID THE SAME OVER AND OVER AGAIN. EVEN AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING; I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED, HAD TO GO IN REVERSE FOR A SHORT DISTANCE IN ORDER TO GET THE VAN TO THEN MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT ALMOST INSTANTLY SHIFTING BACK INTO PARK. IN THE SECOND CASE THERE WAS NO VEHICLE PARKED IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME AND I STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I DID RECORD A VIDEO OF THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR ON 8/26/2018 (SECOND TIME) .

AUTOMATIC DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CLOSES AS PASSENGER TRIES TO GET OUT OF THE VAN. DOOR BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH AND ALMOST INJURED THE PASSENGER. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE SAME PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS BEING OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE AND HALFWAY AFTER IT OPENED IT BOUNCED AND CLOSED ALMOST INJURING MY SON AND THE PRESCHOOL TEACHER.

WITH APPROXINATELY 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION UNDER PERFORMS. WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY AT SPEEDS UNDER 30MPH, THE TRANSMISSION STRUGGLES TO SHIFT SMOOTHLY. IT ALSO MAKES A LOUD JERKING SOUND AND MOTION WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SOMETIMES HESITATES TO SHIFT, ALLOWING YOU TO BE ABLE TO FEEL THE VAN SLOW DOWN WHILE IN PROCESS OF SHIFTING, APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS LATER YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL IT GO INTO GEAR. LASTLY, THE PICK UP ON THE VAN IS SLOWER THAN MOST CARS I HAVE DRIVEN.

I WAS OUT OF STATE ON VACATION. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IN THE CITY, A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL PURCHASED OCT. 2017 WITH ONLY 6000 MILES, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I GOT AN EMISSIONS WARNING NOTICE THAT I NEEDED TO GET THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM CHECKED. I CALLED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HE TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT AROUND FOR A WEEK AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED; IE: IF THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY OR SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE CAR. AFTER A WEEK I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN AND HE TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR TO USE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3-4 DAYS HE CALLED AND SAID THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF RODENT CHEWING ON THE COATING OF THE WIRES. HE SAID THE CAUSE WAS WIRE HARNESS CHEWED CAUSING SHORT IN SHIELDED WIRE. HE SAID HE NEEDED TO KEEP THE CAR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS TO CHECK ALL THE WIRES. HE CALLED ME BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND SAID THAT THE WHOLE SYSTEM WAS AFFECTED AND NEEDED TO GET A NEW HARNESS. APPARENTLY THE COATING ON THE WIRES WAS SOY BASED. I DID SOME CHECKING AND THERE WERE SEVERAL LAW SUITS AGAINST SEVERAL AUTO MANUFACTURERS IN 2014 AND 2015 ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OF RODENTS EATING THE COATINGS ON THE WIRES. I HAD TO WAIT 2 MONTHS BEFORE GETTING MY CAR BACK AS THE HARNESS WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE TOTAL COST OF THIS WAS $2619. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $500 AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY PAID THE REST. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY HONDA AS THEY HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND YET THEY STILL WERE PUTTING IN WIRING COATED WITH SOY BASED PRODUCT.

ENTIRE DASH TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER AND INFORMATION SCREEN-REPLACED RADIOHEAD. ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING-REPLACED FUEL INJECTORS. POPCORN SOUND AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AFTER PICKING UP CAR FROM GETTING FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED-STATING IT'S A BAD REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. I BOUGHT MY CAR 1 YEAR AGO AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY FLAWED.

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONICS BECAUSE THE CAR WILL REPORT THAT "THIS SYSTEM HAS LOST POWER. PUSH AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS TO ENABLE THE SYSTEM." THE BACKUP CAMERA HAS ALSO FAILED TO TURN ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO REVERSE. SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR PROOF.

IN THE SUMMER THE BACKUP CAMERA WILL OCCASIONALLY STOP WORKING AND THE MESSAGE "CAMERA TOO HOT" WILL APPEAR ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN. HONDA STATES THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT HONDA SHOULD RESOLVE.

HONDA NAVIGATION SYSTEM DISPLAYED A MESSAGE THAT A MAP UPDATE IS AVAILABLE. FOLLOWED THE HONDA INSTRUCTIONS TO PROCESS THE MAP UPDATE USING A USB DEVICE. WHILE UPDATING AT 78% COMPLETE, THE SYSTEM DISPLAYED A MESSAGE THAT THE UPDATE FAILED. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM, NOW, WILL NOT EVEN BOOT UP. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND AFTER ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, HONDA TECHNICAL TEAM STATED THAT A NEW NAVIENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED. THE SEPTEMBER MAP UPDATE SOMEHOW CORRUPTED THE NAVI PROGRAM.

A HUMMING OR BASS SOUND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS IN MOTION, BBMMMMM BBMMMM NOISE ALSO A HUMMING AND STATIC FROM THE RADIO WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF AND SITTING STILL OFF AND ON AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS, SOME DAYS YOU HAVE IT AND OTHERS YOU DON'T.

GETTING KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM ON HONDA ODYSSEY 2018 MODEL. DELAR RESET CODE, WARNING CAME BACK AGAIN IN 5 DAYS

DRIVER DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK. THE AUTOMATIC UNLOCK BEEPS LIKE IT IS WORKING, BUT DOES NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR. I HAVE TO CRAWL INTO THE BACK AND THEN I CAN UNLOCK DRIVER DOOR INTERNALLY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY MAKING IT HARD FOR DEALERSHIP TO SEE PROBLEM AND FIX. THEY WILL NOT FIX UNLESS IT CAN BE REPRO DUCIBLE. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A FORUM WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND UNABLE TO GET FIXED DUE TO HONDA WANTING IT REPRODUCIBLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY ODYSSESY ON A CITY STREET AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AS I BRAKED AT THE RED LIGHT, MY YOUNG CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT PULLED THE BLACK STRAP RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER, WHICH RELEASED THE MIDDLE SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD. THE MIDDLE SEAT WITH MY SON IN IT (WHICH WAS THEN IN A FREE SLIDE MOTION) FLEW FORWARD WITH INCREDIBLE MOMENTUM AND SLAMMED HIS HEAD INTO THE FRONT SEAT. I NOW AM WATCHING HIM FOR SIGNS OF CONCUSSION AND MONITORING HIS FRONT TEETH WHICH LOOSENED UP. THE MIDDLE SEAT RELEASE SHOULD NOT BE SO ACCESSIBLE TO YOUNG CHILDREN. IT SHOULD HAVE EITHER TWO POINTS OF ACTION REQUIRED TO RELEASE THE SEAT OR BE POSITIONED MORE OUT OF REACH FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. CURRENTLY THE STRAP IS SO CONVENIENTLY LOCATED WITHIN EASY REACH OF A CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT AND EASY TO PULL. WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR A CHAIR TO BE ABLE TO SLIDE FREELY AND FOLD. THIS DESIGN FLAW SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL.

2018 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS PURCHASED 3/16/2018 AT WEST HONDA DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN LAS VEGAS. NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASE, STRONG FUEL, AND SIMILAR CHEMICAL ODOR APPEARED, ODOR CAME OUT OF THE AIR VENTS DIRECTLY. THE ODOR IS SO STRONG THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SMELL CHEMICAL AND SMOKY FOR DAYS. ODOR ALWAYS APPEARED DURING DRIVING, THE LEVEL OF STRONGNESS CAUSED NAUSEA, COUGH, AND HEADACHE. ADDRESSED THE ISSUE TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, WITH THE MENTION OF HEALTH CONCERN AND FIRE RISK DURING DRIVING. BOTH DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE ADVISORS VERIFIED THE ISSUE VERBALLY, DID DIAGNOSIS IN 3 OUT OF 4 TOTAL VISITS. COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE WHILE ODOR PRESENTING IN THE CAR; THUS, NO REPAIR WAS DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE. REPORTS ARE COLLECTED, FILED A COMPLAINT TO THE HEADQUARTER. CASE MANAGER ADMITTED THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AS SIMILAR CASES WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE ARE HEARD FROM THE SAME AREA. BEING TOLD THAT NO INSPECTION CAN BE DONE WITHOUT ODOR APPEARS AGAIN AND IGNORED THE PREVIOUS VISITS' RESULTS.

PURCHASED VEHICLE TOWARDS THE END OF THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2018, THIRTY DAYS LATER THE DRIVER FRONT DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. TRIED UNLOCKING THE DOOR FROM THE KEY FOB AND DOOR REMAINED LOCKED. INSERTED THE KEY IN THE CYLINDER AND WAS A BIT HARD TO TURN THE CYLINDER TO UNLOCK. IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR I HAD TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER SLIDE DOOR AND COME IN THROUGH THE BACK TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. EVEN THEN THE INNER DOOR HANDLE WAS HARD TO PULL. THIS CREATE AN ISSUE AND INCONVENIENCE AS THIS IS A FAMILY CAR, HAVING THIS ISSUE IN VERY HUMID DAY ONLY MAKES IT WORSE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALERS DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT HONDA IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR MONTHS.

SLIDING DOORS DO NO CLOSE AT TIMES. IT IS INCONSISTENT AND WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY CANNOT REPLICATE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AS WELL AS VIDEOS OF THE ISSUE. I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR STOPPED OPENING ALTOGETHER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED THE MECHANISM THAT OPENS THE DOOR AS WELL AS THE SENSORS ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS TO ADDRESS THE CLOSING OF THE DOORS. THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS ABLE TO OPEN ONCE MORE, BUT NOT EVEN A WEEK AFTER I EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE WITH CLOSING THE DOORS ONCE AGAIN. TO CLOSE THE DOORS, WE NEED TO REPEATEDLY PRESS THE CLOSE BUTTON WHEN THE DOORS ARE TRYING TO OPEN BACK UP, BUT THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR VARIOUS REASONS.

DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WON'T CLOSE.THE ISSUE ACTUALLY PRESENTED ITSELF THE DAY WE PURCHASE IT AND THEY SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED IT A "HICCUP". WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THE SENSOR BEEPS THREE TIMES AND THEN REOPENS. I HAVE TO DISENGAGE THE DOORS TO MANUALLY CLOSE IT OR BE READY TO "HELP" THE DOOR CONTINUE ON THE TRACK TO CLOSING. PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR COMPLETELY STOPS IN THE TRACK HALF WAY WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY BEEPING. I TOOK THE VAN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER A MONTH AGO AND THEY SAID THAT THEY STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM HONDA (AS OF TODAY) AS TO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

TOURING-REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM SHUTS OFF TO BLACK SCREEN AND CABIN WATCH LOSES SIGNAL AND GIVES AN ERROR CODE. WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES, THE KIDS CAN ONLY WATCH THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OF THEIR DVD BEFORE THE SYSTEM SEEMS TO OVERHEAT AND COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN. WE HAVE RESORTED TO TURNING IT OFF TO LET IT COOL DOWN ( DVD THAT IS REMOVED FROM THE PLAYER COMES OUT SCALDING HOT) BEFORE RETRYING TO LET THEM WATCH AND HAVE IT FAIL A FEW MINUTES LATER. CABINWATCH SEEMS TO ACT UP AT THE SAME TIME THE REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FAILS.

SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE. SOMETIMES THE DOOR WILL CLOSE ALMOST TO THE END AND THEN RECOIL OR THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AT ALL (IT JUST BEEPS). A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE APPEAR TO BE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH ALL SORTS OF FIXES THAT ARE NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM (HTTPS://WWW.ODYCLUB.COM/FORUMS/81-2018-ODYSSEY/309801-DRIVER-S-SIDE-SLIDING-DOOR-STOPPED-CLOSING.HTML#/TOPICS/309801?PAGE=6) AND APPEARS RELATED TO NHSTA COMPLAINT NUMBER 10136418. DEALER INSPECTED AND REPLACED MOTORS ON BOTH DOORS PER HONDA'S RECOMMENDATION. PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY REAPPEARED MAKING IT SO THE DOOR CANNOT BE CLOSED UNLESS DISENGAGING THE POWER TO THE DOORS, EXITING THE VEHICLE, AND MANUALLY CLOSING THE DOORS. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND IS GETTING WORSE.

ON MARCH 24, MY 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY SHIFTED INTO PARK AT 65 MPH ON I-95 IN PHILADELPHIA. THE HONDA REP, OLIVER (A HONDA EMPLOYEE), EXPLAINED TO MY HUSBAND THAT WHEN THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR CONNECTED TO THE COLLUSION AVOIDANCE SENSOR DISCONNECTS, A COMPUTER ASSUMES THE CAR IS OFF AND THAT FORCES THE CAR INTO PARK REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED IT IS GOING. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE ENTERTAINMENT PANEL SCREEN WENT BLANK AND WHILE IT WAS REBOOTING, I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE CAR, NO GAS, NO BRAKE, STEERING WAS DIFFICULT. WHEN IT REBOOT, IT WAS IN PARK AND THE ENGINE MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE LIKE METAL HITTING METAL. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHLY WITH MY THREE CHILDREN AGES 8 MONTHS, 2 YEARS AND 4 YEARS OLD IN THE CAR. THE HONDA REP BELIEVES THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE WAY THE POWER CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY. HE EXPLAIN THAT THIS CAUSED THE SENSORS TO DISCONNECT INTERMITTENTLY. THE REP, OLIVER, BLAMED THE PROBLEM ON THE DEALERSHIP DURING THEIR REPAIR OF THE CAR FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE. HOWEVER, THIS IS INCORRECT. THE CAR FRONT SENSOR HAVE BEEN LOSING CONNECTION TO THE COMPUTER SINCE WE TOOK IT HOME BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP TOUCHED THE BATTERY. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR'S ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT I WOULD NOT BRING UP, BUT OLIVER'S DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR COMPUTER SYSTEM MAKES IT RELEVANT. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR HAS 6 COMPUTER CONNECTED WITH ETHERNET CABLES. MUCH OF THE WORK FOR THE BASIC FUNCTION OF THE CAR AND TRANSMISSION IS DONE BY THE COMPUTER THAT ALSO RUNS THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, THE BIG SCREEN COMMON IN THE FRONT PANEL OF CARS. OLIVER EXPLAINED WHEN ONE COMPUTER GETS BOGGED DOWN, IT TAKES THE ENTIRE SYSTEM DOWN. OUR CAR AND A LOT OF OTHER 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE A KNOWN FLAW THAT HONDA HAS NOT FIXED IN WELL OVER A YEAR. THE BUG, TAKE THE CAMERA AND RETAINMENT SYSTEM DOWN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE ENGINE REVVED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE REMAINED ON, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. PRIOR TO THIS, WHILE DRIVING DIFFERENT SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, LOST POWER, AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PERFECTION HONDA (2603 AMERICAN RD SE, RIO RANCHO, NM 87124, 505-221-5084) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NOTHING WAS DONE. ALSO, WHENEVER THE SPARE TIRE WAS IN USE, ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS, SUCH AS THE LANE KEEP ASSIST, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM, AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I THOUGHT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR START ROLLING AGAIN, EVEN IF I GOT OUT OF THE CAR OR TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. ON ONE OCCASION, IT ROLLED INTO MY GARAGE ENTRY DOOR TO MY HOME. CAUSED HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS DAMAGE TO MY DOOR , AND MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER. WARNING SYSTEM IN CAR SOUNDED, BUT AUTO BRAKE SYSTEM DIDN'T ACTIVATE TO STOP THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (SHEEHY HONDA, 7434 RICHMOND HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA). THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. APPROXIMATELY NINE MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ERRONEOUSLY SWITCHED FROM REVERSE TO THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS FAULTY. THE DOOR UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF. A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOORS OFTEN FAIL TO CLOSE USING THE ELECTRIC CLOSING SYSTEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF NOT NOTICED BECAUSE THE DOORS ARE NOT LATCHED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR BECAME AJAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALDORF HONDA (2450 CRAIN HWY, WALDORF, MD 20601, (301) 843-8700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR STUCK IN OPEN POSITION AS THE LATCH HAS BROKEN. DOOR WILL NOT CLOSED INTO POSITION. I TRIED TO CLOSE USING MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSING OPTIONS TO NO AVAIL. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY SO NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENTS.

THE BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES ARE NOT HOLDING UP I HAVE POPPED BOTH FRONT TIRES- ON SEPARATE INCIDENTS IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS SINCE IN GOT THE VAN. I PREVIOUSLY DROVE A SIENNA AND A PATHFINDER AND HAVE NOT HAD A POPPED TIRE BEFORE .

IF I BUY A NEW 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY AT AROUND 4000 MILES START HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT AROUND FIVE TO SIX THOUSAND MILES I START GETTING A HORRIBLE TOXIC BURNING CHEMICAL SMELL COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAR SOMEWHERE DO YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY NOTHING'S WRONG OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS DOING WHAT IT'S DOING

THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN TRYING TO ENTER TRAFFIC AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION. IT PAUSES FOR UP TO 5 SECONDS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC. THE ANNOYING ENGINE SHUT DOWN ON STOPPING IS, DISABLED AT THE TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED CONSTANTLY SINCE PURCHASED.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE.. (THEIR HIGHER TRIM) $50K AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT. THE CAR GAVE ME AN ERROR. I IGNORED IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP THEY INSTALL A NEW BATTERY THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS A SPECIAL KIND OF BATTERY. THE PROBLEM WITH THE REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM KEEPS IN DEFAULT. I TOOK IT IN 6 TIMES ALREADY NO SOLUTION JUST RUN AROUND. WHEN YOU START EVERYTHING IS FINE AFTER 10 MINUTES OF PLAYING ANYTHING THE SCREEN GOES CRAZY. I ATTACHED PICTURES. NOTHING WORKS. SOME TIMES IF YOU RESTART THE CAR YOU ARE LUCKY AND YOU GET PICTURE. BUT MUST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FEW HOURS. I THINK HONDA DESERVES A VISIT TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I CALLED THE DEALER SHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY TOLD ME TO CALL CORPORATE WHICH I DID AND THEY OPEN A CASE. BUT NO SOLUTION YET.

HAVING ISSUE OF ACCELERATION AT ROAD SPEED. WHEN DOING ROAD SPEED I HAVE HAD FLAT ACCELERATION WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. ALMOST FEELS AS IF VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO STALL OR DECELERATE. DEALER WITH VEHICLE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ISSUE. DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY HONDA COMPANY REPORTS ABOUT THIS. THIS EVENT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. LAST EVENT INTERESTING IS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN DECELERATING TO ENTER EZPASS EXPRESS TOLL AT AT 50MPH AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO FLOW OF TRAFFIC

PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED LETTER REGARDING THE POWER SLIDING DOOR THAT FAILS TO SHUT ALL THE WAY.

SOMETIMES, THE DRIVER SIDE, READ DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE WITH BUTTON, INSTEAD I HAVE TO HARD PUSH THE DOOR TO CLOSE IT MANUALLY. IT HAPPENS WITH BOTH KEY AND "CLOSE" BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS HAPPENING PERIODICALLY.

THE SLIDING REAR DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT FULLY LATCH, THUS THE DOOR REMAINS SLIGHTLY AJAR. IT REMAINS AS SUCH WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

ON MONDAY, JUNE 18, 2018 AT ABOUT 8:00 AM MY WIFE WAS SITTING STATIONARY AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE WINDOW IN THE REAR HATCH EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS/VEHICLES AROUND HER AND THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR. THE WINDOW EXPLODED FOR NO VISIBLE REASON. THE GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE INTO THE REAR PART OF THE VAN AND REAR SEAT AREA. WE BROUGHT THE VAN TO INVER GROVE HONDA IN INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN (WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VAN NEW IN DECEMBER, 2017) AND THEY REFUSED TO CLASSIFY THIS AS A DEFECT AND DIRECTED US TO FILE A CLAIM WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY (WHICH WE DID). THEY DID PROVIDE US WITH A LOANER CAR FOR FREE AND HELPED US WORK WITH A GLASS REPLACEMENT SHOP. HOWEVER, I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, THE GLASS HATCH WINDOW SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPLODED FOR NO REASON.

1. ONE OF THE TWO KEYS PROVIDED DID NOT OPEN THE DOORS. WE TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND IT WAS REPROGRAMMED. 2. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK, NOT EVEN FROM THE INSIDE. THEY HAD THE DOOR LATCH REPLACED. 3. LAST WEEK THE BACK DOOR WOULD CLOSE BUT WOULD NOT LOCK BY ITSELF. ON THE WAY TO THE SERVICE CENTER, WE WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL GEAR AND SHUT OFF. AN "EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH. WE CALLED ROAD ASSISTANCE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP. THEY RAN EXTENSIVE TESTS BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE TECHNICIAN WORKING ON IT, HOOKED UP A COMPUTER AND TOOK IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY HE CALLED AND INDICATED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL COMPUTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD ORDER IT TO HAVE IT REPLACED. TODAY.

WHILE TRAVELING ON CITY STREETS FOR 2 HOURS AND 1 HOUR HIGH WAY DRIVING, DURING THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT 6/21/18 AND 6/22/18, THE INSIDE CABIN OF THE VAN FILLED WITH A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASEOUS FUMES. THE OVERWHELMING FUMES LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS ON BOTH DAYS. ALSO LEAVING FUMES IN THE CAR OVERNIGHT WHICH WERE DETECTED AS WE ENTERED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AROUND 9:30 A.M. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA AUTO NATION IN LAS VEGAS AT 10:45 AM. ON 6/23/18. AFTER TWO HOURS THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I WAS ADAMANT IN REFUSING TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM AND THAT MY FAMILIES LIFE WAS NOT IN DANGER. I WAS TAKEN TO TWO OF THE DEALERSHIP'S MANAGERS AND WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE INSIDE OF THE CAR TO FILL UP WITH FUMES ON HOT DAYS AND THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT SINCE THE CAR FILTERS THE FUMES TO THE FRONT ENGINE AND THEN INTO THE VEHICLES CABIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A GOVERNMENT REGULATION THAT FUMES NOT BE TRANSMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT BUT RATHER TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, BUT FIRST THROUGH FILTERS. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE IN MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING NEW VEHICLES. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY VIEWED INFORMATION OVER THE INTERNET THAT THERE IS A HONDA CRV LAWSUIT FOR THEIR 2015-2017 VEHICLES PERTAINING SPECIFICALLY TO GASEOUS FUMES FROM GASOLINE. I AM TERRIFIED TO USE THIS VEHICLE. NOT ONLY DID WE HAVE TO ENDURE THE FUMES FOR HOURS, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT OUR SAFETY IS AT STAKE DUE TO AN EXPLOSION AND OR ASPHYXIATION.

PUSH BUTTON SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IS PROBLEMATIC. IF THE DRIVE BUTTON IS NOT PRESSED FIRMLY ENOUGH THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN REVERSE, BUT THE DRIVER THINKS THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. IF THERE IS A PERSON BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND THE OPERATOR PRESSES THE THROTTLE THEN A POSSIBLY DEADLY ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR. WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE THERE IS AN AUDIO NOTIFICATION (A CHIME SOUND) THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. THE IS NO SIMILAR NOTIFICATION WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING FLAW.

CUSTOMER STATES INTERMITTENTLY RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY, SLIDING DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE USING AUTOMATICALLY, HAVING TO MANUALLY/FORCEFULLY PUSH DOOR CLOSE, HAS HAPPENED TWICE DEALER SHIP DID NOT DO ANYTHING AS THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS HAPPENING WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THE DOOR IS OPENING. WITH KIDS ON BOARD IT IS ALWAYS RISKY. I STOPPED LETTING THEM SIT ON THAT SIDE.

ON JUNE 3RD MY 4 YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SECURELY RESTRAINED IN HER BRITAX CLIGHTIGHT 5 POINT HARNESS IN THE SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER IN THE MIDDLE ROW. WE WERE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AFTER A GROCERY TRIP AND I WAS GETTING READY TO RETURN HOME AFTER SHOPPING. I PUT HER IN THE CAR AND CLOSED THE DOOR OF THE VAN. SHE TRIED STOPPING THE DOOR WITH HER FOOT BUT HER FOOT DIDN'T REACH THE PRESSURE SENSOR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR (THE THIN BLACK TUBING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE) SO THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER FOOT CAUSING BRUISING.I TALKED TO 3 HONDA DEALERS AND I HAVE A COMPLAINT FILED WITH HONDA. WHEN HONDA RETURNED MY CALL I WAS INSTRUCTED THAT HIS JOB WAS TO INFORM ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS LIMITATIONS AND THAT THE LAST THREE INCHES OF THE DOOR IS THE "POINT OF NO RETURN" WHERE THE DOOR NEEDS MOMENTUM TO LOCK. THE LAST EXPERIENCE WAS AT THE HONDA STORE WHERE A SALESMAN SHOWED ME THE 2019 HONDA. I DESCRIBED THE INCIDENT TO HIM AND ASKED HIM TO TRY STOPPING THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SENSOR ON THE OUTSIDE. HE FIRST TOUCHED THE OUTSIDE SENSOR. I HAD HIM RETRY STOPPING THE DOOR ONLY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR WHERE MY DAUGHTERS FOOT WAS. HE SAID THE "POINT OF NO RETURN" ARGUMENT FROM HONDA OVER THE PHONE WASN'T TRUE BECAUSE THE PRESSURE SENSOR STOPPED THE DOOR WHEN HE TOUCHED IT AN INCH FROM THE DOOR. HE TOLD ME HE THOUGHT IT WAS ODD BECAUSE THE TAILGATE RETRACTS WHEN TOUCHED. HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO FIND OUT WHO I SHOULD CONTACT BUT NEVER GOT BACK TO ME. NO ONE CAN TELL ME HOW MUCH PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO MY DAUGHTERS FOOT THAT CAUSED THE SERVE BRUISING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WITHIN MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE DEALER (ATLANTIC HONDA, 1375 SUNRISE HWY, BAY SHORE, NY 11706, (631) 665-0005) TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND HEARD THE NOISE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. *JS

THE PASSENGERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY. THE OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON ON THE DASH WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR EITHER. THE KEY FOB WOULDN'T OPEN IT. WE SHUT OFF THE AUTOMATIC DOOR FEATURE AND THE DOOR STILL WOULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR HOME, THE DOOR OPENED WITHOUT ISSUE.

BRAND NEW VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 700 MILES ON ODOMETER. PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY; EITHER VIA THE PUSH-BUTTON OPERATION OR MANUALLY. MADE A GRINDING SOUND WHEN CLOSING AND THEN BEEPED 3 TIMES. DROVE THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WITH DOOR AJAR (BEEPING ALARMS THE ENTIRE WAY)

THE SLIDING DOOR CAN'T BE PHYSICALLY CLOSE AFTER IT WAS OPEN, THE VEHICLE CAN'T CONTINUE TO DRIVE TO A DESTINATION WITH THE OPEN DOOR IF KIDS INSIDE, AND THE DOOR CAN'T BE CLOSED EVEN MANUALLY.

2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE, 4 MONTHS OLD AND 650 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE MOON ROOF EXPLODED. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN GOING OFF. REMANANTS OF THE MOON ROOF ARE SHAPED UPWARDS SHOWING THE EXPLOSION CAME FROM THE INSIDE AND NOT BEING HIT BY A ROCK, ETC. NO TRAFFIC WAS IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND I WASN'T DRIVING UNDER A UNDERPASS.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON CITY STREETS AND STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DASH BOARD STARTED TO FLASH ENGINE PROBLEM AND CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND STOPPED IT. WHEN THEN I SAW SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 5MIN THE CAR STARTED TO GO UP IN FLAMES. DAVIE FIRE DEPT RUN # 3285 DAVIE POLICE KEPT #18-017945 HONDA CASE CLAIM MADE STATE FARM CLAIM MADE

AT 25 MPH THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM UNEXPECTEDLY ENGAGED AND BRAKED WITH FULL ANTILOCK VIBRATIONS WHEN THERE WAS NO CAR WITHIN BRAKING RANGE. THE CAR BEHIND ME BRAKED HARD AND AN ACCIDENT WAS FORTUNATELY AVOIDED. THIS OCCURRED AFTER DEALING WITH THE DEALER OVER SEVERAL DAYS REGARDING PHANTOM COLLISION AVOIDANCE CAUTIONS OCCURRING ON A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE ALSO BRAKED AUTONOMOUSLY WITHOUT ANY CAR IN FRONT OF IT EARLIER IN THE EVENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN PROMPTED. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, ALL OF THE DOORS FAILED TO OPEN WHEN PROMPTED BY THE KEY FOB. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE MITIGATION ENGAGED WITH A VISUAL AND AUDIO ALARM; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE AROUND. FURTHERMORE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS DID NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED AND THE CROSS-TRAFFIC MONITOR MALFUNCTIONED AND HAD TO BE TURNED OFF. DEL RAY HONDA (2500 SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, DEL RAY BEACH, FL) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE SERIES OF FAILURES. THE BATTERY AND THE TUNERS WERE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 636. *TT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

I AM OLDER AND I BELIEVE THE TURN SIGNAL VOLUME IS TOO LOW ESPECIALLY DUE TO ROAD NOISE. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I DRIVE WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO HESR THE TURN SIGNALS. HONDA CANNOT FIX THE VOLUME..

THE CENTER CONSOLE, WHICH IS THE MONITOR THAT UTILIZES GPS NAVIGATION, REAR VIEW CAMERA DISPLAY, CONTROLS HEAT/AC, VOLUME CONTROL, ETC. HAS CONTINUED TO FAIL SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE (7/15/17). THE MONITOR SHUTS DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES, FOR UNIDENTIFIED REASONS, LEAVING THE DRIVER, DISTRACTED AND ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE. THE SHUT DOWN CAN OCCUR WHILE IN THE VAN IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. NAVIGATION SHUTS DOWN WHILE THE DRIVER IS IN ROUTE TO A LOCATION CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION. WHEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN THE HEAT/AC ALSO SHUT DOWN FORCING THE DRIVER TO MANUALLY ADJUST, WHICH WHILE DRIVING IS AN UNNECESSARY DISTRACTION. HONDA WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN AUGUST 2017. WE BROUGHT OUR VAN IN TO THE SHOP TWICE AND NO RESOLUTION WAS FOUND. WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AMERICA (VOICE MAILS ARE RETAINED AS RECORD). AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF NO RESOLUTION, HONDA AMERICAN TOLD US OUR CASE WAS BEING CLOSED BECAUSE THE COMPANY CONTINUED TO HAVE NO RESOLUTION. 7 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE THE CENTER CONSOLE/MONITOR CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY FAIL. SOMETIMES THE MONITOR GOES BLACK, SOME FEATURES WORK WHILE OTHERS STOP (FOR EXAMPLE THE RADIO MAY WORK WHILE THE SCREEN IS BLACK). SOMETIMES THE MONITOR GOES BLUE AND EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN. PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF THESE OCCURRENCES WERE SUBMITTED TO HONDA VIA EMAIL. THE PROMOTED FEATURES BY HONDA AMERICA LEAD THE BUYER TO BELIEVE THERE IS ADDED SAFETY IN THIS VAN. THE OPPOSITE HAS TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE. THESE FAILURES CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE DRIVER AND THE YOUNG FAMILIES UTILIZING THE VAN.

THE FRONT WINDOW WASHER WILL NOT DISPENSE FLUID WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD. DEALERSHIP SAID FLUID FREEZES IN THE BOTTLE, BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE BECAUSE BACK NOZZLE WORKS. FRONT NOZZLES WORK IF VAN LEFT IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT. THIS MORNING, AFTER 15 MIN OF DRIVING IN 10 DEGREES, FRONT NOZZLES DO NOT DISPENSE. HONDA DEALERSHIP SHRUGGED WHEN I SAID IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. DRY SNOW, SALT, ICE, MUD THROWN ON WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING, AND NO WAY TO EFFECTIVELY CLEAR IT OFF. WASHER FLUID WAS FILLED BY DEALERSHIP ONE WEEK AGO. DISPENSER BOTTLE IS 95% FULL. THE ISSUE IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DISPENSER BOTTLE AND FRONT NOZZLES. THIS FIRST HAPPENED YESTERDAY EVENING WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME IN THE DARK (ABOUT 10 DEGREES OUT). WINDSHIELD WAS DANGEROUSLY DIRTY BY THE TIME I GOT HOME.

1. ) FUEL EFFICIENCY IS NOT AS REPORTED; IT IS SEVERAL MPGS LOWER UNDER ALL CONDITIONS (HIGHWAY/CITY). 2.) SAFETY SENSOR TO ALERT FOR PEDESTRIANS ON SIDES/FRONT DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. EVEN SERVICE REP AT DEALERSHIP SAID SHE HAS HAD OTHER REPORTS OF IT NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THE SENSORS/SYSTEM MAY NEED TO BE 'RESET'. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO THINK THESE SYSTEMS CAN FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING MESSAGE OR NOTICE. CAR WAS AT A STOP AND AS IT STARTED MOVING FORWARD, A PEDESTRIAN CAME FROM THE RIGHT FRONT AND WAS NEARLY HIT. THERE WERE NO ADVANCE WARNINGS, AUDIO/VISUAL TO ALERT THE DRIVER. ALSO AFTER CHECKING WITH A FRIEND, WE COULD NOT TRIGGER THE ALERT WALKING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT (FROM SIDE TO FRONT) OF VEHICLE. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, THANKFULLY, BUT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THESE SYSTEMS FAIL AND NEED TO BE CHECKED TO NOTIFY OF ONCOMING PEDESTRIANS/BIKERS/VEHICLES. I BOUGHT THIS EXPENSIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAD 'SENSORS' AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FAR SAFER ACCORDING TO SALES GUY. NOT THE CASE. THE PUBLIC IS BEING MISLED.

ON SATURDAY, 1/27/18 AT 9:17AM MOUNTAIN TIME WE WERE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD FOLLOWING A SILVER SUV. AS WE APPROACH AN INTERSECTION WITH A GREEN LIGHT, THE SUV IN FRONT OF US TURNED ON THEIR BLINKER TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. WE WERE FOLLOWING BEHIND AT A SAFE DISTANCE. THE SUV SLOWED DOWN CONSIDERABLY TO MAKE THE TURN, BUT WE REMAINED BEHIND AT A SAFE DISTANCE AS THE SUV MADE THE TURN. THE AUTOMATIC COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM ON OUR HONDA ODYSSEY FLASHED A WARNING, AS I'VE SEEN BEFORE, AND THE WARNING WAS APPROPRIATE GIVEN THE SITUATION. THE SUV COMPLETED ITS TURN AND I REAPPLIED THE GAS IN THE INTERSECTION. AS I DID SO, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED, VERY HARD, CAUSING US TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE INTERSECTION. I ASSUME THAT WE WERE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF APPX 15 MILES PER HOUR AS WE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION. WE WERE ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND US (WHO HONKED AT US, AND WITH GOOD REASON). THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING TO ENGAGE IN THIS SITUATION. FURTHERMORE, THE BRAKING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED MUCH TOO LATE TO AVOID A COLLISION HAD ONE BEEN IMMINENT. THE FEELING OF LOSING CONTROL OF DRIVING YOUR OWN VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING. WHILE I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING FEATURE, THIS EVENT IS INCREDIBLY CONCERNING. NO ONE WAS HURT AND NOTHING WAS DAMAGED LUCKILY. BUT, THIS EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT.

THE RIGHT BACK SLIDING DOORS DOES NOT CLOSE WHEN THE CLOSE BUTTON IS PRESSED. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR ON MANUAL OPERATION TO DRAG THE DOOR SHUT. EVEN THEN, IT IS NOT COMPLETELY SHUT THE "OPEN DOOR " ALARM GOES OFF FOR UP TO 10 MILES AND THEN EVENTUALLY THE DOOR SHUTS COMPLETELY .

OUR NEW 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY EX HAS FAILED TWICE TO RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO IDLE AND PUSHED ME OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY AFTER PRESSING THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE RESPONDED. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON A FREEWAY TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR COASTING BEHIND TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. AGAIN, THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND THE FIRST TIME I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER ABOUT THE THIRD ATTEMPT, THE ENGINE RESPONDED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY KEPT OVERNIGHT TO TEST IT WHEN IT WAS COLD AND RAN DIAGNOSTICS. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HOPE THEY FIGURE THIS OUT BEFORE THIS CAR KILLS ME.

THE VAN WILL STALL AFTER STOPPING. WHILE TURNING RIGHT, I STOP AT A STOP SIGN, WAITING AND WHEN IT'S SAFE, GO TO START TO TURN, PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VAN WILL STALL. IT WILL TAKE ME RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSHING IT AGAIN TO GET IT TO MOVE AGAIN. THIS IS TERRIFIYING. THIS HAS HAPPENED UPWARDS OF 20 PLUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VAN IN AUGUST 2017.

OUR 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE HAS A FEATURE CALLED IDLE STOP. THE FEATURE HAS MANY CRITERIA THAT MUST BE MET BEFORE IT WILL ACTIVATE. IT SHOULD JUST TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE CRITERIA HAVE BEEN MET IN AN EFFORT TO CONSERVE FUEL IN LIEU OF IDLING. WE ARE SEEING A RANDOM ISSUE WHEN THIS FEATURE ACTIVATES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF THE CAR ENTIRELY AND PLACE IT IN PARK. WE MUST MANUALLY START OUR VEHICLE AGAIN THEN PLACE IT BACK IN DRIVE TO PROCEED. WE'VE HAD IT HAPPEN THREE TIMES. ALL HAVE TAKEN PLACE AT STOP LIGHTS FOLLOWING A COMPLETE STOP. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE TOOK PLACE AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE HIGHWAY. I'M CONCERNED WE WILL BE REAR ENDED DUE TO OUR VEHICLE BEING DISABLED AT AN INTERSECTION. IT'S CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIFTH TIME (MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE) TO HOPEFULLY FIND A SOLUTION.

I JUST GOT DELIVERY OF THIS NEW 2018 EX-L W NAV+RES. THE HORN ON THIS VEHICLE IS TOO SOFT AND SOMETIMES ON BUSY HIGHWAYS CANNOT BE HEARD FROM OTHER CARS WHEN THE IT IS PRESSED IN EMERGENCY, ESPECIALLY IF THE OTHER DRIVER IS LESSENING TO RADIO AT MODERATE TO HIGH VOLUME. COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS ODYSSEY AND OTHER VEHICLES THIS MODEL TRIM HAS A SINGLE HORN WHEREAS OTHER HAD DOUBLE. THE HORN VOLUME NEEDS TO HIGHER FOR OTHER TO BE ABLE TO HEAR

HEADLIGHTS: WHEN THE VAN WAS PURCHASED I DISCOVERED SEVERAL DAYS LATER THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. DISCOVERED THE LIGHTS WAS NOT PLUGGED IN. DECEMBER 18 & 27 THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM DISABLED. THE DEALERSHIP PICKED UP VAN AND SAID THEY REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CONNECTION THAT WAS NOT SECURELY CLIPPED TOGETHER. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I HAD BEEN PARKED AND AWAY FROM THE VAN FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR ON BOTH OCCASIONS. WHEN I STARTED IT TO LEAVE THE ERROR MESSAGE WAS ON THE SCREEN. IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BOTH TIMES.

1. FAILURE OF THE REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM: THE REAR CAMERA AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM WILL LOST "NETWORK CONNECTIVITY" AND STOP FUNCTIONING 2. BRAKE MITIGATION SYSTEM: SPONTANEOUSLY TURNS ON 3. FAILURE OF THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM: THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WILL TURN OFF AND GO INTO A SERIES OF FAILURES, ULTIMATELY TURNING OFF COMPLETELY AND NOT FUNCTIONING. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WILL ALSO EXPERIENCE POWER ERRORS RESULTING IN ERRORS WITH THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, THE RADIO/SPEAKERS PERIODICALLY STOP WORKING.

MY SON WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN SECOND ROW BEHIND DRIVER'S SEAT WHEN HE GRABBED THE SEATBELT OF THE MIDDLE SEAT THAT ATTACHES TO THE ROOF AND WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK. HE STARTED COUGHING WHEN WE NOTICED THAT HE HAD WRAPPED THE SEATBELT AROUND HIS NECK WE STOOPED THE CAR AND I WENT BACK TO TAKE HIM OUT BUT THE SEATBELT WAS LOCKED AND THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE SEATBELT SO WE HAD TO CUT THE SEATBELT IN ORDER TO TAKE HIM OUT OF IT. I TRIED TO COMPLAIN AT HONDA BUT THEY SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE AS ITS THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. BUT TO ME ITS REALLY VERY DANGEROUS WE WERE LUCKY WE SAW HIM BUT A CHILD CAN EASILY DIE BECAUSE ITS SO EASY FOR ANY CHILD TO GRAB THAT SEATBELT.I HAVE ATTACHED THE PIC WHERE IT SHOWS HOW THAT SEATBELT WORKS FIRST IT LOCKS INTO 1 AND THEN INTO THE 2 LATCH. THE 1 LATCH CANNOT BE UNLOCKED.

WHEN DRIVING, MY VAN WILL SWITCH FROM DRIVE TO PARK. THE VAN MAKES A RUBBLING SOUND THEN CUTS OFF. I RESTART THE VAN THE VAN AND IT DRIVES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. I'M TAKING IT TO THE HONDA DEALER NEXT WEEK.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY DISPLAYS A WARNING THAT ANTI-THEFT CANNOT COMMUNICATE AND INSTRUCTS DRIVER TO PRESS AND HOLD POWER. AFTER SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS AT RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, WE DISCOVERED THAT IT MEANT THE RADIO POWER, NOT THE PUSH START FOR THE CAR. IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THIS MEANS THE RADIO ANTITHEFT OR THE VEHICLE ANTI-THEFT. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND IN A PARKING SPOT. IT HAPPENED ON START UP (AND REMAINED THERE DURING ALL 4 RESTARTS). IT WENT AWAY AFTER PRESS AND HOLDING THE RADIO POWER BUTTON.

WHEN THE FOB IS STORED NEAR THE VEHICLE IT CREATES A POWER DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. WE WERE CAMPING FOR THE WEEKEND AND THE FOB WAS GENERALLY NEAR THE VEHICLE (IN THE CAMPER). WHEN WE LEFT THE CAMPGROUND AT THE END OF THE WEEKEND, THE WARNING INDICATOR SAID NOT TO USE ANY AUXILIARY POWER. I AM NOT SURE HOW THE VEHICLE USES THE BATTERY VS THE ENGINE OR ALTERNATOR TO POWER THE INTERIOR OUTLETS, USB CHARGING PORTS, AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THE DVD/RES SYSTEM, BUT THE PREVIOUS POWER OUTAGE IN THE VEHICLE HAS US ON HIGH ALERT AND WE FEEL IT IS RELEVANT AS IT INDICATES A PATTERN OF POWER FAILURE AND INSUFFICIENT BATTERY OR POWER SUPPLY TO THE VEHICLE RELATIVE TO THE VOLTAGE IT PULLS WITH THE "BELLS AND WHISTLES" ON THE CAR. THE WARNING REMAINED FOR THE ENTIRE 3 HOUR DRIVE HOME.

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE ON HIGHWAY AND THE SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED. WE ONLY HAVE 2500 MILES ON THE CAR.THE HONDA DEALER OF BELLEVUE WA ARE TRYING TO MAKE US PAY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SUNROOF. WE WILL MAKE A COMPLAIN WITH HONDA OF AMERICA.

FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSOR FAILURE. TURNED CARE ON AND ALARM SOUNDS AND FLASHES PARKING SENSOR ERROR. ALARMS CONTINUOUSLY.

HORN ON 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY (ELITE & TOURING TRIM LEVELS) FOR SURE. HORN IS A SINGLE TONE LOW NOTE AND IS BARELY NOTICEABLE AND WOEFULLY INADEQUATE. YESTERDAY WHILE TRAVELING ON A NOT VERY BUSY COUNTRY ROAD, I ACTIVATED HORN AT ABOUT A DOZEN BUZZARDS FEASTING ON SOME ROADKILL IN THE ROADWAY AND HAD TO COME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THEY MOVED. THEY WERE MORE INTIMIDATED BY PRESENCE OF MY VEHICLE THAN HORN BLARING AT THEM. SOUNDS STUPID, I KNOW, BUT IT EMPHASIZES PROBLEM. HORN IS ALMOST ENTIRELY UNNOTICEABLE AND DOES NOT GET OR ATTRACT ATTENTION, WHICH MAKES IT A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN. IT DOES NOT "COMMAND" YOUR ATTENTION AND IS NOT EASILY HEARD OVER AMBIENT NOISES. HORN ON MY PREVIOUS 2013 ODYSSEY WAS A DUAL TONE HORN AND MUCH LOUDER AND DREW ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THE FACTORY INSTALLED HORN MEETS FEDERAL STANDARDS FOR DECIBEL LEVEL. NOT THAT IT MATTERS BUT IT JUST SOUNDS PITIFUL COMING FROM AN ALMOST $50,000 FAIRLY LARGE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS TRULY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS SAFETY ITEM AND I BELIEVE IT IS ENOUGH OF A CONCERN TO REPLACE THIS LOUSY HORN WITH A MUCH LOUDER DUAL TONE HORN AT MY OWN EXPENSE. SOMEONE THERE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE COMES INTO PLAY AT ANY TIME THE HORN IS NEEDED TO ATTRACT ATTENTION OR ALERT SOMEONE TO ANY NUMBER OF SITUATIONS AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.

I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA ODYSSEY 2018 EX-L ON OCTOBER 16, 2017. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY AND WILL HEAR SEVERAL LOUD POP SOUNDS FROM THE BACK OF THE VAN.

IF ACC (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL) IS ENGAGED (AS WELL LKAS -- I HAVE NOT TESTED WITH ACC ALONE) AND THE CAR GOES DOWN A HILL (EVEN WITH MODERATE SLOPE), THE BRAKES DON'T APPLIED PROPERLY, AND THE CAR SPEED KEEPS ON INCREASING VIOLATING THE CRUISE CONTROL SETTING. AT SOME POINT DURING THE VIOLATION, THE CAR EVEN ACCELERATES WITH THE ENGINE ENGAGING IN HIGH RPM; I.E., 100% OPPOSITE TO SUPPOSED BRAKING. FOR INSTANCE, LET'S SAY CRUISE CONTROL IS AT 45MPH. THE CAR KEEPS ON INCREASING DOWNHILL TILL SAY 51MPH, AND THEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE GOES TO HIGH RPM FURTHER ACCELERATING THE CAR DRAMATICALLY!

NEW 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE (10-SPEED TRANSMISSION) DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND MANY ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED ABOUT STEERING SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM AND OTHER FAILURES. CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS DOWNSHIFTING. HIGH RPMS FOR SPEEDS WHERE IT SHOULD BE LOWER. SENT TO DEALER FOR 1 WEEK. DEALER REPLACED POWERTRAIN COMMAND MODULE AND O2 SENSOR. MESSAGES DISAPPEARED. 1 WEEK AFTER THAT, TRANSMISSION STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS DOWNSHIFTING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. PARKED VAN AND CENTER CONSOLE SCREEN WENT BLACK THEN HAD BROKEN LINES OF PIXELS IN ONE OR TWO PLACES.

THIS VAN WAS SOLD TO ME NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER WITH AN ACTIVE RECALL.

WE WERE DRIVING ON I75 NORTH ON SAT JUNE 10. WE WERE RIGHT BEFORE THE ATLANTA MACON SPLIT. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DVD PLAYER TURNED OFF. THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DARK. THERE WAS NO POWER TO ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE TURNED BACK ON IN "PARK" CREATING A HORRIBLE POPPING NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP (WILLETT HONDA) IN MORROW GA LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND CANNOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE POWER FAILURE. THEY HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO RETURN IT TO US. THE CASE NUMBER AT HONDA IS 06075564. JERRY HOGAN AT BOMMARITO HONDA IN HAZELWOOD MO IS THE SALES MANAGER AND HE WANTS US TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN SPITE OF THE OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. HONDA CANNOT DETECT THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.
