The right side airbags deployed without any damage or accident occurring to the vehicle. The safety of the driver and backseat passenger was put at risk because the airbags deployed without any warning and completely disabled the vehicle forcing us to the side of the road and trapping the backseat passenger who was in a wheelchair. The vehicle has been assessed by police and reported there was no damage done to the vehicle. The dealership has evaluated and reported there was no reason the airbags should have deployed. An SRS light would come on frequently. Dealership said it was a wiring issue but no permanent fix was ever made or recommended.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while their wife was driving approximately 50 -55 MPH, the front passenger side air bag and the curtain air bag, which were expanded from the front passenger seat to the rear passenger seat, suddenly deployed without impact. The sudden deployment caused the driver to immediately stop the vehicle to avoid a further incident. The contact stated their wife had informed them of a pot hole being in the road; however, they could not confirm if the air bags deployed after driving over the pot hole specifically. The driver pulled to the side of the road, and the local police were contacted. A police report was filed. The contact stated that two children had received injuries, one child received a bruise and swelling to the side of their head, and the other child received bruising and scratches to their arms. The contact's wife received bruising and whiplash from the incident. The other two children in the vehicle at the time of the incident received mild whiplash. Medical attention was needed. The vehicle was towed to a body shop, where a mechanic confirmed that no impact had occurred and was unable to diagnose the cause of failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

The auto idle stop did not restart the engine and the van stalled in traffic multiple times. Temporary fix it to turn off auto idle stop every time we start the van.

The contact's girlfriend owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. While the owner was driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle, and the engine seized. The message to pull over to the nearest fuel station was displayed. The contact stated that the tow truck driver attempted to start the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to start. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was scheduled to be towed to the dealer the following day. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was unknown.

No sensor in the back of the sliding rear doors. Door was being closed and 2 year old’s hand was caught and stuck in the back when the door completely closed

My 2022 Honda Odyssey experienced a sudden catastrophic engine failure at approximately 154,000 miles while driving under normal conditions. The failure involved the vehicle’s engine and resulted in a loud knocking noise followed by loss of engine power and the vehicle becoming inoperable. The Honda dealership diagnosed the engine as having internal engine failure with metal contamination present in the oil, indicating severe internal engine damage. Based on the symptoms and the diagnosis, the failure appears consistent with possible connecting rod or connecting rod bearing failure. The failed engine remains installed in the vehicle and should be available for inspection upon request. Prior to the failure there were no warning lights or messages, and the oil pressure warning light never illuminated. The vehicle had proper oil levels and no indication of low oil pressure before the failure occurred. A sudden internal engine failure that causes loss of engine power while driving presents a safety concern because it can occur without warning and may leave the driver unable to maintain speed or safely maneuver in traffic, particularly at highway speeds. The problem has been confirmed by a Honda dealership, which documented the condition as internal engine failure with metal contamination in the oil and advised that the engine must be replaced. The estimated repair cost exceeds 6,000. The manufacturer has been notified of the failure through a customer assistance case, but the vehicle has not been physically inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. This complaint is being submitted to document the sudden internal engine failure and possible connecting rod bearing failure in case similar failures are occurring in other vehicles equipped with the same engine design.

My car’s power system is totally off twice suddenly ( around 4:00pm & 8:30pm) when I completely stop at the traffic light. Cannot re-start the car, cannot open the rear doors, cannot turn on the emergency light to warn other cars. After waiting for a a few minutes, the power is back, I can start my car again When my car totally loss power at 8:30pm and cannot turn on the emergency light at night, and cannot open the rear doors for kids getting out the car. It is very dangerous to the passengers.

The sunroof exploded, causing the glass to shatter, while driving. The vehicle is available for inspection. The noise from the glass shattering caused ear pain, headache, and tinnitus, which has been evaluated by a doctor. State Farm insurance has aided in the situation. The vehicle is in the body shop for repairs. The sunroof indicated no warning prior to the shattering of the glass.

All passenger side curtain airbags deployed after going over a pothole, despite no tire/wheel/frame damage to the car according to the Honda dealership. No collision occurred, only going over a pothole. SRS is available for review from dealership. Vehicle has been inspected by dealership and insurance representative. No warning lamps or messages prior to the failure, only after going over the pothole did the car announce 'collision detected' and immediately called Honda roadside assist representative.

Engine turns off by itself at stop. Auto idle stop was not turned on. It also happened when i pressed the reverse button. When it turns off by itself, i have to turn it back on and put it back into gear. It happened 4 times today

The glass sunroof exploded on our 2022 Honda Odyssey. No prior issues, dents, etc., serviced consistently by the local dealership. While driving on the highway an explosion sound occurred overhead. No overpasses were nearby, nor were any projectiles witnessed. Thankfully, the interior sunroof shade was completely closed, preventing the thousands of pieces of broken glass from falling into the vehicle. Thankfully, we were also able to avoid an accident in the moment. Talked to local dealership and Honda Americas. Both simply said I was out of warranty, even though this is a massive safety failure. A simple google search will show this is a known issue across Honda Odyssey sunroofs, Honda CRV back windshields and Honda HRV back windshields. All of these cars should be recalled.

The idle start stop feature constantly doesn’t work on our 2022 Honda Odyssey Touring. When stopped at a light or stop sign the engine will turn off COMPLETELY, causing me to have to put the car in park and restart the car. Also, sometimes the van will start, sometimes it won't. I replaced the battery and now it starts but it is still turning itself off in traffic.There have been several incidents where this is during rush hour traffic causing traffic jams and we have been very close to being rear ended. Sometimes I have to wait a few minutes before it will actually turn over. This is EXTREMELY unsafe and should be addressed by Honda with a FREE fix for all owners. I've taken it to the dealership and, after scanning my VIN, told that my specific Odyssey doesn't have any open recalls or service bulletins... Seems every other Odyssey does, just not mine? For the EXACT SAME PROBLEM???

The liftgate on my vehicle stopped functioning in March 2024, one month after the warranty expired. On June 24, 2025, the vehicle underwent a power tailgate unit replacement and water leak repair at Ocean Honda of Brockton. Water had leaked into the tailgate unit and caused it to short out. The total cost for this repair was $1,776.18. I have attached a copy of the paid service repair summary and proof of payment. My primary concern, beyond the financial burden, is the inherent safety risk posed by this malfunction. As a parent of three children, we specifically chose the Honda Odyssey for its reputation for safety and reliability as a family vehicle. A power tailgate unit that can fail due to water infiltration presents a serious hazard, as it could cause the tailgate to unexpectedly open while the vehicle is in motion. This could lead to items falling out onto the road, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, or potentially compromising the safety of passengers if the vehicle is involved in an accident. Right before the tailgate stopped working, we noticed a "low battery" warning upon starting the van. This is probably due to the electrical short. I sent a letter to American Honda Motor Company on July 2, 2025, detailing the issue, but have yet to hear a response.

On October 31, 2025, I brought my vehicle to the dealer for several issues, including an Auto Engine Idle Stop System problem, a memory seat malfunction, and other concerns that were discussed with the service advisor and are listed in the invoice. I was charged almost $1,000, including a new battery. Initially, some of the problems appeared to be resolved, but shortly after the service, the Auto Engine Idle Stop System problem reappeared, and the memory seat stopped working again. Even more concerning, a new and dangerous issue began immediately after the repair: while driving at night, the headlights suddenly turn off for a few seconds and then turn back on, and the “Auto Engine Idle Stop System Problem” warning appears at the same time. This issue never occurred before the dealer performed the repair. This situation is extremely unsafe, especially when driving in dark conditions with my family. I contacted the dealership through their “Contact Us” form on November 2, 2025, and again via live chat on November 5, 2025. I was told that someone would reach out to me, but as of November 9, 2025, I have received no response.

The Honda High Pressure Fuel Pump Recall is an ongoing and critical safety campaign impacting numerous Honda and Acura models primarily from the 2017-2022 model years. The defective fuel pump component can fail unexpectedly, causing sudden loss of engine power while driving, significantly increasing the risk of a crash or fire. I am the manager and co-owner in an automotive mechanic workshop in Miami, and in the last year several Honda Odyssey have arrived at my workshop with this problem with the high-pressure fuel pump. All of these cars were manufactured in 2022 and 2023. Symptoms begin after accumulating more than 80,000 miles traveled. The main symptoms are: Problems and delay when starting, loss of power, vibration, noise and tapping of the fuel lines at the inlet of the engine. This vibration and noise are felt much louder from inside the cabin, because the fuel lines are attached to the fire wall of the engine compartment. High fuel consumption, reducing the autonomy of the vehicle up to about 12 to 14 miles per gallon, when the Odyssey has a proven autonomy between 19 and 21 miles per gallon under normal conditions. Strong smell of fuel. The vibration increases by increasing the revolutions per minute of the engine, causing the connections of the fuel lines to suffer deterioration, cracking and loss of pressure, causing fuel leaks that could be the main cause of fire of the engine and the vehicle, in turn putting the life of the driver and his occupants at risk. For a few weeks I wanted to submit this request for extension of Recall to Honda for the Odyssey models of the years 2022 and 2023 through the NHTSA. But it was not until today that I decided to do it because I also own a 2022 Honda Odyssey EX-L with more than 90,000 accumulated miles, just 2 weeks ago my vehicle began to present all these symptoms mentioned above.

I was at a 4 way stop on a quiet street, I stopped and then proceeded to move forward. As I was moving forward, in the middle of the intersection, the automatic emergency braking system activated which slammed on my brakes, involuntarily, in the middle of the intersection. There were no hazards in front of me that the vehicle would have detected as being a cause for braking. Thankfully, no one was coming through the intersection at the time from the perpendicular sides or else I would have been hit. The braking was so forceful that it caused my phone, that was sitting in my lap to be flung to the floor and was ripped from the charging cord with force. Additionally, to show the force, I had books sitting on the passenger seat that all got thrown to the floor with the impact of the braking system.

Engine Auto Start/Stop vehicle failed to restart upon taking foot off of brake pedal. Took my car to Honda dealership on 8/29, dealership said it was a bad battery. Had the battery replaced and 2 weeks later on 9/12 vehicle failed to restart upon taking foot off of brake pedal.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the front driver’s side seat belt buckle unexpectedly unlatched. The failure had occurred on several occasions. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 50,000.

This vehicle had the recall repaired for the Most Bus cable issue that Honda has. Now they vehicle is back having the same issue and Honda has not done another recall for the issue starting again for the same thing this is a safety issue. You lose all rear warnings cameras and detection. Honda will not repair the recalled issue again. They have not properly fixed it.

It was the same thing as my last three reports. The vehicle stalls in a way that freezes the vehicle where I cannot turn it off or on or engage or remove the parking brake. I cannot put it in gear or in neutral. Last time it stalled me in the middle of a seven lane highway. This time it was in the middle of a hospital entrance. I feel like I am gambling with my life and the dealership won’t listen to me! How many times does this have to happen??

While stopped at a red light with brake engaged but not fully pushed down, the engine remained running while auto start/stop feature was still on. This was not the problem. Suddenly, all electric shut off including the engine. We fully engaged the brake and restarted the vehicle. This vehicle has also given low battery warnings right after engine is turned off but stereo etc remain on before the driver door is opened. The battery is less than a year old. Vehicle is available for inspection, traffic safety was a concern, we have not taken it to a dealer yet, and no one has inspected this yet.

My car unexpectedly did a phantom brake at high 60+ mph with no car in front of me. I was so nervous due to car behind me almost colliding into me.

Honda has issued a Service Bulletin (SERVICE BULLETIN 22-018 [XXX] ) for the issue stating that "After powering open, the tailgate either slowly sags down or the power tailgate control unit sounds a warning tone before powering the tailgate closed" This is a danger as the liftgate closes aggressively and anyone standing under it can be hit in the head and severely injured. The force required to reverse the closure is significant and requires active attention. If one had opened the liftgate and started removing items from the trunk, as has happened to both my wife and myself, the liftgate can hit very hard. If a child is there the risk is significant. This has happened to us multiple times. This should not be a mere service bulletin which requires out of pocket cost to the consumer, but an active recall for repair INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

There have been several instances where the vehicle’s “Idle-Stop” feature failed to restart the vehicle resulting in a stall. This has happened in heavy traffic including once in the middle of a busy intersection while waiting to make a left turn. My vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer, but this is a known issue with an open investigation.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact used a portable jumpstart kit to jumpstart the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The contact stated that the low battery warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that battery was drained due to the electrical system. The battery was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacture was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.

The tail gate automatically closes on us due to failed strut to support it. This is a repeatable process. When open the tail gate, it will closes automatically - very dangerous when the user (me) is trying to put stuffs in or out of the trunk. It closes on my head a few times. Went to dealership, they said this is a common issue where the strut holding up the tailgate failed and had to be replaced. It is currently not under recall, so I must pay fully for it to be safe.

The moonroof spontaneously shattered

Adaptive cruise control unexpectedly disengages. This has happened dozens of times, consistently every time I use the adaptive cruise control on the highway. My speed drops from the set speed (for example, 75 mph) down to 55 or 60 mph, at which point I realize it’s not going to come back on. This is extremely dangerous on the highway, and puts me at risk of being rear-ended by vehicles traveling at high speed.

All ADAS systems have failed including the ABS. The safety camera has failed.

Bought our 2022 Honda Odyssey in November of 2021. Vehicle has the Idle/Stop feature. That feature never worked properly. Always said, warming up or charging and didn't work. Recently, June 7, 2025 my wife driving was at the light with the stop feature activated, she took her foot off the brake for it to start up and it was shifting weird. Happened several times. On June 11, 2025, I was at a light and when I let my foot of the brake for the feature to start the vehicle, the vehicle stalled and I couldn't get it in gear. Eventually it went in gear. I could've gotten into an accident. I called the dealership on June 11, 2025 to make an appointment. After seeing something else on the news about a recall, I decided to look up my issue. I found that there is an investigation and lawsuits about it. I had no idea. I had no idea a letter was sent to owners. I NEVER received it!! I looked at my service records and on February 15, 2024, at an oil change, the dealership fixed a recall per Honda for Auto Start and says UPDATED. My vehicle is still having issues.

Vehicle Make/Model/Year: 2022 Honda Odyssey Date of Incident: 5-1-25 Mileage at Incident: 30,000 Summary of Incident: While my 2022 Honda Odyssey was fully stopped in traffic with my foot firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle unexpectedly lurched forward and struck the car in front of me. Just before or during the lurch, the brake system warning light appeared on the dashboard. I did not have my foot on the accelerator at any time. The road was flat and weather conditions were normal. The Idle Stop system has not been functioning for several months, so the vehicle was operating in normal engine-on mode. Despite this, the car surged forward from a full stop, indicating a possible failure in the brake system, electronic throttle control, or a software/ECU malfunction. This was a dangerous, uncommanded movement of the vehicle while stopped, which resulted in a minor collision. Thankfully, no one was injured, but this poses a serious safety hazard, especially if it were to occur in crosswalks or at intersections. I will report the issue to Honda the dealership and requested a full diagnostic inspection. I am submitting this complaint because this incident could have caused serious injury or worse and may be part of a broader defect affecting brake or throttle systems on this model.

Honda issued a recall of the MOST Bus Network which was done on my vehicle on 7/21/23. However, recently the vehicle started making static noise from the speakers whether the radio was on or not and eventually displayed a "Network Communication error MOST Network Off" error screen on the display temporarily. During these outages the display is completely unavailable and presents a hazard since the rear camera is unavailable. Since the display reboots and only happens intermittently the dealer was unable to reproduce the error and believes the vehicle is "operating to Honda specifications." Despite the fact that we have photos and videos of this issue occurring multiple times! This is a known issue in multiple other year/make/models of Honda vehicles which were eventually recalled. Clearly they have not corrected the issue in the 2022 Honda Odyssey and should be subject to dealer recall and replaced and repaired.

I have done all services according to Honda dealer. At 120,000 miles my transmission is bad and I have to replace it now They are asking for $4000.00

The fuel door will not open. It appears the fuel door actuator has failed. This can result in being stranded as not able to fuel. Dealer has confirmed and is charging me to fix. Vehicle only has about 33,000 miles on it and is 44 months in service. There were no warning lights, but interesting enough the driver side sliding door does make a grumbling noise like it needs to be oiled. I am having the dealer review this as well.

Water leak causing failure of tailgate control module. Water intrusion of rear drivers side allows damage to the unit controlling the rear tailgate- rendering inoperable or unable to open/close.

I am writing to file a safety complaint about the 2022 Honda Odyssey Elite concerning critical infotainment and electrical system failures that present significant safety risks. These failures include power cycling, freezing, and complete system shutdowns, which impair essential vehicle functions like navigation, climate control, and communication. The random nature of the failures makes it difficult for technicians to replicate the problem, but it occurs intermittently while driving. Normally, the infotainment system just fails, requiring the car to be parked and power cycled, including opening and closing a door. On one occasion, the vehicle catastrophically failed during operation and would not restart. The car had to be towed to the dealer, but when it arrived, it was able to start without any jump-start. The dealer stated they could not replicate the issue so there was nothing that would be done beyond replacing the battery.

The Anti-Theft System on the car randomly looses power. This causes the car's power to cut out when you are slowing down and apply the brakes to stop. Once the power cuts, you have to wait about 30 seconds before the ignition Start button illuminates again to restart the car. Once you restart the car the screen on the center dash (stereo/navigation screen) states the Anti-Theft System lost power and you must push the power button in on the stereo for a few seconds to reset it. When it occurs while at a stop sign, traffic signal or during stop and go traffic, other drivers have to wait for you to reset the car so you can proceed and get out of the way. When it occurs during parking, you get out of the car and when you attempt to lock the car it will not since the system lost power. You have to get back in the car, restart it, reset the Anti-Theft system, stop the car and then get out to lock it. With this issue, the system loosing power while in the flow of traffic is a safety hazard. This issue did not start to occur until after my Honda was serviced and had its system updated for the Auto Start safety recall.

Third row drivers-side power outlet caught on fire while dropping kids off at school. Kids started saying they smelled smoke while driving. Six year old child was sitting in seat right next to the power outlet shouted the van was on fire, everyone exited vehicle Fire extinguisher from school was used to put the fire out. Fire department came, stated the fire seemed electrical in nature; do not have fire department report yet. Plastic and surrounding area are melted from the fire. Vehicle is currently sitting at mechanics lot waiting to hear back from Honda; insurance told us to wait to hear back from Honda before they would do anything. Called the Honda Customer Care on the date of the incident and have still not heard back from them; have called multiple times and they say we are in a queue and there’s nothing they can do until our case reaches the top of the queue. No lights came on leading up to the fire. Incident seems very similar to Safety Recall Report 20V-066.

While waiting at a traffic light, I began moving as soon as the light turned green. However, I was momentarily blinded by the sun and accidentally hit the curb. The airbag deployed but failed to inflate properly; it just fizzled out and hung limp, like a deflated balloon. Fortunately, I was traveling at less than 5 mph, and no one was injured. However, the situation could have been much worse if the vehicle had been moving at a higher speed.

The transmission failed on two separate occasions. The first instance occurred while making a left turn when the gear shifting malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to emit a groaning noise. This happened at a speed of less than 5 mph and lasted only a couple of seconds. The second incident took place while I was waiting at a traffic light. When the light turned green, my vehicle failed to move. I immediately turned on the emergency lights, as I was the first car in the lane. More than half a dozen vehicles passed me before I turned off the engine and restarted it, which allowed me to move just before the light turned red again. This situation was risky, as I could have been rear-ended by cars behind me. This reminded me of a few unfortunate incidents in the past where I was hit from behind by other vehicles, adding to my concern about this experience.

Immediately after picking up my vehicle following the replacement of the front bumper, I noticed the keyless entry system started to malfunction. When I touched the driver’s door handle, it didn’t respond as it should. Instead, I had to use the rear left passenger door handle to unlock the driver’s door. Additionally, the vehicle used to emit a warning buzz if any doors were not properly closed. However, after the repair, this warning sound no longer functions. When the doors are properly closed, the vehicle typically beeps twice in quick succession, but these beeps are sometimes too faint to hear due to background noise. Three days ago, I returned home after dark and unknowingly left my vehicle unlocked in the driveway because I didn’t hear the usual warning sound. That night, a burglar entered the vehicle, ransacked it in search of cash or valuables, and stole my $100 jumpstarter/tire inflator. Alarmingly, my garage door opener was on the sun visor, which could have led to a much worse situation. This malfunction has caused serious concerns, as the lack of clear audible warnings creates opportunities for oversights and security risks. Besides, I talked to the dealership more than three different occasions but I got no help. On one occassion, service technician said to leave my vehicle longer than a day but I was in no situation to accept that offer.

Engine totally shut down at a stop sign. No indicator lights were on, the van was completely "dead". The van restarted after continuously mashing engine start button for 4 minutes. During the other occurrence, the engine would not restart after a short store stop but some of the lights were on on the dashboard. The van restarted after about a minute. These occurrences happened within 2 weeks of each other and the mileage was between 44,000-46,000mi.

After I took my car through a car wash I got the folllowing alert, "Radar obstructed warning." After this warning I then got the warnings for brake system, cruise control all not working

While placing an item in the rear of my Honda Odyssey mini-van the hatch began to close on me. The safety sensor did not activate and the hatch was closing with great pressure. I was able to slide out before being pinned or severely injured. After investigating why it happened, I discovered and was able to replicate the behavior. The key fob was in my right front pocket at the time I was almost pinned. My house key pressed and held the rear hatch button on the key fob causing it to close. Because the button was pinned down by my other key, the safety pressure sensor failed to activate. I was able to replicate and film this behavior. I was also able to replicate the behavior using my parent's neighbor's Honda Passport. 1. This occurred after turning off the vehicle, and on the first time closing the rear hatch. I have video of being able to replicate the issue available.

For approximately 1 year the collision mitigation braking system will intermittently activate even when no hazards or objects are present in front of the vehicle. This has happened regardless of speed or any other conditions and has even happened while accelerating. There are no lights or warnings that present before the system activates. This poses a hazard of losing control of the vehicle or potential causing a crash due to the unexpected and sudden braking. This problem is intermittent and does not happen every time the car is driving but has happened enough to bring the car in to the service center. The first time we were told they couldn't replicate the problem so they wouldn't look into it. The second time they acknowledged a know issue with their collision mitigation system and recommended the camera and radar be recalibrated at a cost of $850. For some reason this failure of the system is not covered under warranty. They also stated the calibration is not guaranteed to fix the problem.

The rearview mirror became unglued to the windshield causing it to bobble around. It is unsafe to have a rearview mirror that doesn't work and the electronics inside it are unable to work correctly if not mounted properly. The dealership reported that it was a defect. It also is not something they could glue back into place and that the entire windshield needs to be replaced and a new mirror put on and recalibrated due to the electronics involved. This is on a 3 year old car that has 43k miles on it. Flow Honda of Charlottesville provided a video detailing their analysis by the technician. The video can be viewed here on Flow Honda's site: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle braking system gets activated too often. Dealership services cannot find anything nor accept there's any issues. Today 08/15/2024 the vehicle locked up the brakes, while driving at 55 mph; injuring a 15 yr; 12 yr; 11yr; and 57 yr. Grandmother. Called dealership services and stated they will see vehicle, but don't believe to find anything, as before. Two of my family members sustained neck injuries. Can you please help. Vehicle can be inspected anytime. Please call first.

while driving in the through lane, we experienced (this has happened several times) a sudden sharp braking due to a car in a turn lane being stopped and sensed by the anticollision system. We believe this same system has caused hard braking when changing from a through lane to a right turn lane without putting on the turn signal. It also "gently" brakes at times when the lane markings on one side or the other are faint or missing, we think the system sees this as a lane departure. The most recent sharp sudden braking almost caused us to be rear-ended. Along with this there are various issues with proximity sensors around the vehicle. We believe all of these issues are related.

On a number of occasions the automatic braking system has engaged when no vehicles or objects were present in the vicinity of the vehicle. This is incredibly dangerous. When I get in the car now I have to remember to disengage that feature before operating the vehicle.

We keep getting a warning about SRS on dash. I see it’s part of a recall but not for our VIN number.

Driving on highway at approximately 30 MPH and vehicle suddenly braked for no reason.

Tired popped and all side airbags deployed - no collision or accident. No damage to the car except the wheel. Children were in the car and could have been seriously injured from airbags that deployed when there was not a serious reason for them to deploy.

Multiple occasions of emergency braking when not in traffic or in any danger.

Was issued a safety recall, called local Honda dealership, spoke to Tony on 9/7/23 would not see us for several months. Said service would not be available until April 2024. The safety issue could cause a crash according to the recall notice, but the dealership and person I spoke to at Honda manufacturer main number said we would be fine and they can’t force the dealer to get us in sooner. We got an earlier appointment for 7 Feb 2024. This is a leased vehicle and I feel our rights are being violated. They are not trying to fix it in a timely manner. The electrical components flash off and on still.

While at a stop sign in a residential area, after going approx 20 mph, the rear windshield spontaneously exploded. It threw glass into the back seats where there were children.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the driver’s side side view mirror displayed an extremely distorted image, which severely compromised the side view visibility. The contact also stated that the mirror had previously been replaced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V174000 (Visibility). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the driver’s side mirror. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 20,000.

I was driving around 65mph,decided to get off the exit,and the vehicle slammed on the brakes,another time a deer ran out in front of me while I was going 40mph,I hit the brake was able to keep from hitting the deer and the vehicle comtinued to brake,it has happened while the cruise control was on as well,so far it has happend 6 times,either slams on the brakes or continues to brake even after letting off the brakes,I am scared to drive it not knowing when it will happen again,it gives no notice,I have been lucky that a car has not hit me from behind….this is a serious issue that needs to be investigated and resolved,before one of my family members gets seriously hurt..

The Camera/sensors are defective and are dying. My vehicle is less than 2 years old and all these features are not working. Honda is saying I need to replace the camera out of my own pocket. I'm seeing online that this is a common problem to a lot of Honda owners

The sensor to open the sliding door on our left side, that stops it from closing when something is in between, did not work today. My 5 year old was reaching in as it was closing to grab her jacket. I was in the front seat, about to get out. I heard the door close and her scream. Her hand was stuck with the door fully closed, and I had to push the Open button twice to get it to release her hand. The sensor should have prevented it from closing and did not.

This is a Braun adapted wheelchair vehicle. It has a lowered floor with a protective under floor. When making a slow turn into a parking lot, a curb was brushed. The passenger side airbag deployed. There was no damage except for cosmetic scratch on outside. There were no injuries. The police attended and couldn't see why the bag deployed. It was examined by Honda mechanic who claimed there was structural damage. The Braun mechanic contested this, finding no structural damage just a superficial scrape to the lowered floor plate. Both the doors and the ramp work properly. The ramp would not work properly if the frame was bent but it works fine. There were no warning signs. Our safety is compromised by driving the van without side airbags. There are a number of complaints on Honda forums about others who have had the bags deploy in slow moving impacts with curbs, speed bumps and potholes. This seems to be a problem in these vans.

A recall was fixed in June 2023 due to faulty media components. However, the media center would again go completely blank and backup camera failed. We brought to dealer which did a "hard reset" on the media center. This solved the issue for only-3-5 days. The media center is again blank and all systems associated with it (phone, radio, back up camera) do not work.

While in stop and go traffic on I-75/85 through downtown Atlanta today, my 2022 Odyssey locked up. The dash indicated a battery problem and advised braking and finding a shoulder, however my engine had cut off and the vehicle would not respond when I attempted to follow the directions given. With my hazard lights on I attempted to turn off/on my engine and place the vehicle in Park without success. It would not restart until I turned off the AIS and put my van in PARK in the middle of the Interstate to finally turn back on. I am a skilled driver with ample engine knowledge and even then was barely able to avoid collision because the vehicle was completely incapacitated. Honda KNOWS this is a problem (I learned after my incident today) and need to find a remedy before someone gets killed.

While driving through a section of Highway that included a left turn lane my car sensed a collision when I was at least 8 feet from the nearest car. The brakes came on until I past the vehicle.

While approaching an intersection, a 4 door sedan in front of me rapidly applied their brakes to stop for a yellow light. I did not see they had stopped in time, so I rear ended them. The impact was so severe, the engine from my 2022 Odyssey was pushed into the firewall and most likely is totaled. If the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) initiated, it did not occur before I slammed on my brakes. The airbags also did not deploy. The car is undriveable. I was taken to the hospital and was found to have a hand injury from most likely my hand hitting the dash. My neck has whiplash and upper back/sternum is sore. I am being referred to an orthopedic surgeon for further hand evaluation. I am confused why the CMBS didn't react quicker and/or more aggressively as well as why didn't the airbags deploy?

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while reversing out of a parking space, the rear-view camera turned on, however, there was no beeping sound indicating the proximity of another vehicle, causing the contact to hit the front bumper of the other vehicle. There was no injury sustained. The contact stated that his vehicle was dented. The other vehicle was not damaged. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V431000 (Back Over Prevention) that he related to the failure. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

My wife was driving the vehicle, the vehicle unexpectedly came to a halt, displaying the "BREAK" sign on the instrument dashboard and emitting a beep. As a consequence, the car following her collided with the rear end. This incident occurred on a city street at an approximate speed of 35mph, and fortunately, none of the airbags were deployed. In response to the situation, I reached out to the Honda dealership and subsequently took the car there for a inspection. Additionally, I informed American Honda about the incident.

The air for the last 2 summers hasn’t worked right. Recently it wouldn’t work until being driven for hours then it would cool off. After it would cool down the car would start to get a very strong gas smell inside. After being checked 3 different times we were informed that there was a problem with the fuel line and the design of it. We would have to have it rerouted seasonally. This is very dangerous, they said there was no permanent fix and in the mean time we were left inhaling gas for weeks. Gas inhalation can kill you. This is a very serious problem that needs addressed ASAP. We traded the car in and the dealer has it listed as certified pre owned knowing there are chronic issues with this vehicle.

Unable to fully align tires specifically rear camber of the wheels. There is no adjustment only option presented is an aftermarket solution.

2022 Honda Odyssey:When the auto-off or whatever it is called engages when you put your foot on the brake at a red light or stop sign and the engine turns off, it is supposed to restart the engine when you take your foot off the brake. That feature is causing issues on average of one time per day where the engine does not turn back on. The van loses all power, red battery light comes on, and the dash gives an alert to put it part and restart the van. It eventually restarts but with wife and 3 kids in van on the highway, this is not safe as other vehicles almost hit us because they do not know the van died.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the sunroof exploded, and parts of the sunroof detached from the vehicle. There was no injury from the failure. The dealer was contacted and stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed and advised the contact was referred to a glass company. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 26,000.

When I was driving my car and stopped at red light my car loss all electrical power and engine died. Would not restart had to have the car jumped off. This has happen several times and I just had it in a Honda dealership this morning and about 3 hours later my car loss all electrical power and died and would not restart. Honda dealership did not know what is causing this issue.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that on two separate occasions, the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard without warning. The contact narrowly avoided crashing into other objects due to the failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

Crackling noises from speakers to include the continuous rebooting of the infotainment screen.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while reversing, the back-up alert was inoperable and there was no audible sound to warn the driver before the vehicle struck a parking garage wall. During a second failure, the vehicle struck a mailbox. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V174000 (Visibility) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The drivers side door mirror glass initially vibrated so it was impossible to see behind the vehicle. The glass fell out several times. After being repaired under warranty, the replacement glass that they put in now falls out.

I was heading east at about 60mph on the highway near sundown with the setting sun in my rearview mirror. There were no other cars close to me. I suddenly lost power very abruptly, going from 60mph to about 35mph in seconds. I always thought this had something to do with the setting sun angle making a reflection on the highway that the car interpreted as an obstruction, but I still don't know what happened. Something similar happened one other time, but at much slower city streets at about 35mph. It was raining, and again I think a reflection on the street tricked the anti-collision system. It's only happened two times in a year, but both times it was surprising and could have been dangerous if there were cars behind us.

The vehicle has lost its power during the drive. As I was pulling the vehicle out of the driveway, the vehicle was completely shut off and immediately turned on. A few month later, similar thing happen. This time I tried cold start and it never cranked just on for a second and then lost the power compeletly. It happened one more time and I took it to the dealership. They said there is no issue with the battery, the assume the batter power is not enough for the vehicle. Even it has a geniue battery that was never replaced from the very first purchase it is not supporting the vehicle. It has not happen to me, but I lost the power in the middle of an highway it is a disaster. On the way out of the dealership, ridiculously it did not start again, and they jump started the car. Attached is the service invoice and a photo of jump start at the lot. It was Honda Curry, 5525 Peachtree Blvd #100, Chamblee, GA 30366.

The glass of the sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving down the highway. It made an explosion sound and dropped shards of glass all over myself and my child. I am in the process of finding replacement glass for the vehicle. It is less than a year old, and the dealer does not have replacement parts nor does it know when they can get one. There were no warnings before this happened. The vehicle has never had any damage and is stored in an interior garage. The damage happened at 55 degrees on a dry overcast day in Nashville, TN.

We purchased a 2022 Honda Odyssey EXL and shortly after purchasing it the driver's rear door sliding door stopped unlocking and it won't lock if it's unlocked. This prevents the ability to lock the door using the remote locking feature it also prevents fueling the vehicle if the lock is unlocked because the fuel door will not open if the door is unlocked. We took the vehicle in August 26th 2022 to Honda dealership and the dealership tested the lock switch and it still didn't work so they said that it could be the BCM and that has been on back order since August it is currently January 6th 2023.

While breaking, rear driver’s side passenger seat disengaged. Our 8 year old son was in seat with seat belt on. Upon breaking the seat propelled him forward. His face hit drivers seat and he was lacerated and concussed. Not only did the seat locking mechanism fail, but seat belt lock did not engage or prevent him from being flung. Brought vehicle to dealership same day as incident. They claim to have attempted to recreate incident, but used an adult male (instead of a 50lb “dummy”). Because they couldn’t recreate the unlocking of seat or explain failure of seatbelt to restrain, was told nothing is wrong and they attempted to “close the case” with nothing fixed, replaced or explained.

Warped rotors causing violent shaking of the steering wheel in fast braking. Had dealership turn rotors and fixed the problem for a couple days but the rotors started acting up again after a couple days.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey that was modified by the BraunAbility company. The contact stated that after the vehicle was modified with a new floor, suspension, seats, and wiring for a ramp, the airbag warning light illuminated. The contact stated the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for BraunAbility where the failure was diagnosed as an airbag and seat belt sensor failure. The contact stated that he was informed that the BraunAbility company was unable to fix the failure. The manufacturer BraunAbility was contacted but offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 500.

My power sunroof busted randomly while driving. Thank goodness I had it closed underneath me or else the glass would have fallen on me. It was sudden & I was not under a bridge or anything else to make me believe a rock or debris hit it. Additionally could not find a trace of a rock or anything afterwards. Not only did this pose a threat to me, but the glass flew behind me & caused an issue for the cars behind me.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact stated upon depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal was stiff and would not go down. The contact was unable to pull to the side of the road and allowed the vehicle to roll until it came to a complete stop. The contact and his son exit the vehicle. The contact stated that while they were standing on the sidewalk, his son noticed that the message "Push the Start Button and Hold for Two Seconds" was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact's son pressed the START button as instructed and was able to restart the vehicle. The contact was able to drive at 20 MPH to the nearby dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

Intermittently, my 2022 Honda Odyssey with less than 16,000 miles will “stall” after the idle stop/start system is enacted. The first time it happened, I was waiting to turn left out of a parking lot onto a busy road. The idle stop kicked in, and when I went to go, my car lurched about 5 feet and the engine cut out completely requiring me to turn off the car with the push button start, restart the car, and put the car into drive. Luckily, people going both directions on the crossroad were able to go around me. This has happened probably 10 times before I was able to get it into the car dealership for service. It has no rhyme or reason for when it happens. The car dealership replaced the battery and said that it should fix the issue. When I went to leave the dealership after the “fix” the car again “stalled” as I was leaving the driveway of the dealership. I turned right back around, and returned the car to be serviced. Now, when talking to the service department at the dealership, I am being told that because “there is no code, and they cannot reproduce the issue, there is no fix.” I am not willing to drive an unsafe car, and additionally, the idle stop/start was one of the reasons this van gets good gas milage. So, I should not have to turn off that feature every time I get in the vehicle. My vehicle is currently sitting at the dealership because I have no other recourse to get it fixed. Husband has traded many phone calls with dealership and service department.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at 50-65 MPH, the collision mitigation braking system was applied and the vehicle stopped abruptly, causing her children to sustain whiplash. The message "brake" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. However, the failure had reoccurred several times while there were no other vehicles or objects around the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated while her son was attempting to exit the vehicle through the driver's side rear sliding door, he pressed the door lock button; however, the door did not fully open fully and closed abruptly on his left hand. The contact's son was taken to the hospital where it was diagnosed that he sustained severe pain, laceration, and swollenness on his left hand. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and advised the contact that they would arrange for a field technician to inspect the vehicle; however, the vehicle was not inspected. The contact followed up with the manufacturer. A case was opened. The manufacturer advised the contact to acquire a vehicle rental while the inspection was being completed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 950.

I was driving on the highway with no cars or obstacles in front of me. The car auto brakes for me. If not because there were no car behind me, I would have been smashed by the car in the back. This have happen twice now!

Both the drive side view mirror and passenger side view mirror vibrate/shake while driving over a even small bumps and uneven pavement/road. I have noticed this since the vehicle was over 1000 miles. Took it in multiple times to dealership to replace the mirrors. They don’t take any action and state vibration is normal, unlike any other vehicles which doesn’t vibrate on such surfaces. This is a safety issue as the driver has to spend more time to check the mirrors for vehicles in blind spots. Now, vehicle has about 4500 miles. I have made 4 visits to dealership already including 3 visits to Richfield Bloomington Honda in Richfield, Minnesota: still no resolution. I have opened case with Honda America three weeks ago. They have been unsuccessful in getting responses from dealership.

Car randomly auto brakes for no reason. Sometimes when other car is parked in lane to the immediate left or across median. This has happened in multiple occasions.

Driver side rear tire blowout about a mile from home at approximately 30 mph while slowing to make a right hand turn. The Bridgestone Turanza 235/60R18 103H is the exact model and size as a manufacturing lot that had already been recalled for a slow leak hazard. My failed tire's lot number is DOT 7X45 JB2 0521. A high speed failure could have easily resulted in an accident or a damaged vehicle. The failure point on my tire was at the exact failure point as described in the their recall. I took the tire to the Bridgestone local store where the on duty manager described the failure as simply a cut tire. I then again contacted Bridgestone cutomer service who did not have any interest in bringing it to their factory for inspection by qualified engineers. The failed tire is available for inspection. Seconds before the blowout I got a warning light alert.

Driver's side outdoor mirror is defective - a) On irregular payment ("not smooth") at any speed, this mirror vibrates and loses its vertical and horizontal position. Needs constant re-adjustment with power controls while driving or after vehicle is parked. Or both. b) At freeway speeds 45mph+ on smooth roads, it vibrates excessively and rapidly loses its viewing angle. c) At night on the freeway, mirror is unusable because of severe vibration with headlights in view. According to local Honda dealer's service department (Honda of Thousand Oaks, CA) this is a "known problem" and no repair or replacement is available since even replacement mirrors distributed by Honda have the same problem. Also, going back at least 2-3 years, all Honda vehicles with 6-cylinder engines have the same issue - Odysseys, Passports, Pilots, Ridgelines, etc. Only the driver side mirror - the outside passenger mirror does not have these issues. I contacted American Honda Corporate at the CEO level (see attached docs) and they eventually referred me to their Customer Car representative, "Jocelyn" - she informed me that Honda Engineering has no knowledge of this issue and therefore there's no service bulletin or "fix" under consideration. She said my only course of action is to have my local Honda dealer resolve the issue. Per the enclosed doc, I am in contact with the Service Manager at Honda Thousand Oaks, Mr. Max Picado, to arrange a visit so I can document their official response.

i own a honda odyssey elite 2022. for no reason the GPS and Radio screen in the vehicle went out while i am driving. i spoke to MS. Priecilla on 8/1/2022 working in America Honda Motor in Torran, California addrising her the setuation of the vehicle after i Googled it, and fuond that this problem is in all the pilote and odyssey vehicles since 2019. i asked her if she is aware of this problem she said no, and this is the first time she here something like that. I told her to google it because this problem is there since 2019 and the honda dealer is not taking of this issue since 2019. i opened a case with honda dealer in california and the case # 131-784-33. saturday the 8/6/2022 i am gonna take to woodhaven dealer in new york to check the problem and check why the screen go out. it is a very important to check that safty of the cars made by honda. send all owner of this models a note or advice what to do if they have same issues. also this days all cars are computerized and any thing wrong in the computer might put the drivers and passangers in danger if they didnot take care of it from the manifacture to help the owner and driver of the honda. thanks, M. Dalia

With nothing in front of me in my lane, the vehicle slammed on the brakes and I was almost rear-ended. I heard the squeal of brakes as the person behind me avoided hitting me.

Problem: While driving on the interstate (in a construction zone with no shoulders), and with no prior indications the van gave numerous alerts to include blind spot monitoring and transmission service. The gear indicator on the dash (“D”) began flashing. I had zero throttle response and began coasting. I was able to gain some forward response by cycling between sport mode and drive while fluttered the gas pedal to match when the gear indicator would flash. If I miss timed it, the engine would rev as if it was in neutral. Using this method, I was only able to maintain 40 MPH. Luckily the next available exit had a Honda dealership and I was able to limp the van into the service department. Safety concern: Without the quick troubleshooting to at least maintain speed for a viable exit/shoulder, the van would of stopped on a very busy interstate that has average speeds of 75+ MPH. It would have surely caused an accident that could of led to serious injuries or death. Diagnosis: Numerous service techs came out to look at the van since I pulled in with my hazards on. At least 2 stated they had seen the problem previously on 2022+ Odyssey’s and to expect it to need a full transmission replacement. Service advisor is suppose to call on Monday with more details and I will update here accordingly. Other information: 13.5k miles on the vehicle and no major mechanical issues prior to this event. Vehicle is regularly serviced at a Honda dealership.

The car was purchased new, and wasn’t even a year old. We were driving on the highway and all the sudden the engine revved. The car would no longer accelerate. We were able to pull off the highway safely but the car would not accelerate more than a few miles per hour. There were no warning lights or indications of an issue with the car. The car was towed to Honda and a new transmission was installed.

Passenger side, sliding door. The door closes on its own randomly but becoming more frequent. I have taken the van to the dealer multiple times and they can not figure out what is wrong. There was no warning light or error shown. Today the door shut on my son’s foot as he was getting in the car. The door fully closed and pinned his foot causing him great pain. He could not twist to open the door and free himself. The door did not safety bump open (as it should have if anything was in the way of closing) It was not until I heard his screams of pain that I ran to his side of the car and opened the door, freeing him. I have attached the photo of his foot.

Vehicle will randomly hard brake for no reason. Without warning.

Was watching news on other Honda models and the emergency break system going off erroneously. This has happened with my car as well. It doesnt appear breaks will engage but the light will flash indicating to break even though there are no cars or objects in front of me. I have not had it inspected and waiting for first oil change to do so.

After driving vehicle to run 3 stop and go inside errands I drove home . Estimate of time for errands etc. was about 30 minutes. I pulled into my home's driveway and applied brake pedal to bring car to a complete stop so that I could tilt-in side view mirrors before pulling into my carport. As I did this I noticed that a white smoke had begun to enter the car through the AC diffusers. Smoke was also seen exiting from front right side of engine hood and through the exterior fresh air channel (the wiper blade area). The smoke had the odor associated with a fire and not the odor of electrical component malfunction. I turned engine off and exited quickly along with getting my middle row occupant, my 60 lb canine companion, out of the vehicle and into my house. I was not sure what was happening to the vehicle. So I went back out and by this time I could see a lot of white smoke coming from engine compartment. My next door neighbor's father called 911. Before the fire department arrived the vehicle was engulfed in flames. This all occurred within a 10 minute time frame and the heat of the fire damage 2 of my nearby parked vehicles. If I had driven into the carport as usually do, my house would have suffered fire damage. This Honda Odessey Elite was a 2022 model vehicle that was leased March 18, 2021 had 3296 miles on odometer. This is a fire safety issue. Had it happened while I went inside the post office for 5 minutes and my canine companion remained inside vehicle, I may not have been able to get her out in time to save her life.

We just got a new 2022 Honda Odyssey EX-L. Since getting the van my family has ben having headaches and feeling nausea. On doing research we found out that the van comes with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation). If you just do a google research you will see a lot of people complaining about the same issue and that they had to somehow disable the module. I have contacted the dealer and Honda USA, they are still looking into it. We cant even enjoy the new van. Please help

When I first purchased my ‘22 Honda Odyssey a few months ago, the Apple CarPlay wouldn’t work, then the main center screen started black screening and not turning on. I took it in to the dealer and they ordered the part almost 4 weeks ago. It’s still not in. Anyways, about 2 weeks ago, my van randomly braked while I was going 70 mph on SRT. Fortunately, we didn’t get in an accident. There were no shadows, no other cars in front of us, not any reason for it to flash BRAKE and stop. My mom was next to me and yelled, “What are you doing there are cars behind us.” I said I didn’t know what was happening and started pushing on the gas to go again. I immediately took it to the dealer and told them I don’t feel safe driving it until they can fix the brake issue. The manager told me this happened to another lady in a ‘22 CRV from the same dealership, but she was on surface streets. It started w the black screening and than the random braking. Long story short, they replaced the tuner on her car and she hasn’t had issues in about 5-6 weeks. They told me to wait for the part, and while I wait, they can turn the safety features off. I said no thanks, I’ll leave it until they are sure it’s fixed. They won’t give me a loaner so I’ve been borrowing my parents’ car. I already have a case number with Honda and they don’t seem to be taking it seriously nor will they offer me a loaner. The dealer/manager has been extremely rude and has stopped responding when I ask him for updates. I am still waiting on the part to come in to fix the electronic issue.

We were driving with less than 1500 miles on the car on the interstate at roughly 70 miles an hour. Out of nowhere, the gears began slipping and when pressing the accelerator, RPMs revved to high levels but there was no acceleration as if we were driving in neutral. We were able to coast to the side of the interstate and down an off ramp. After restarting the vehicle, a litany of orange warning lights came on. Gears continued to slip resulting in the car being towed to a nearby Honda dealership where the transmission was completed replaced (Again, with less than 1500 miles on the car). This was a significant safety issue with three children in the car where we could not accelerate while driving at 70 MPH on the interstate. Numerous instances of this problem have been identified in the last 4 months alone.

Both driver and passenger side rear-view mirror glass separated from base within 3 months of ownership. Glass is held to plastic base with adhesive. Similar to complaint from MD already submitted.

We purchased our 2022 Honda Odyssey mini van less than a month ago. We drove it off the lot at I think 20 miles? All was great, we love the van. Until… I drove from The Colony to Justin. We were having our floors redone and I needed to take our toddler and infant away each day while our house was worked on. I was going to go back and forth Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It was our first “long” trip as we don’t really go anywhere due to Covid. The van drove great Until we came home Thursday evening. I was 25 miles into our trip, driving 75 mph keeping up with the traffic on 121 and all a sudden my van had a huge thud jerk like as if I hit a curb and then I lost all acceleration. I hit the gas and all that happened was the RPMs would skyrocket but no power. My speed went from 75 to 40 to 20 within seconds. I’m in the middle lane with cars speeding past and a semi coming up behind me. I AM SCARED!! I quickly call my husband while I attempt to get to to shoulder. I finally get over and I put the van in park. Cars are going so fast that the van is shaking anytime a car goes by. I put the van in drive in hopes to get to an exit. Absolutely NO acceleration. I KNEW this was a transmission issue. I was able to coast off to the next exit and into a parking lot. I had it towed to the dealer. Upon first inspection they said nothing was wrong with it. I told them to keep checking because there was something major wrong with it. A few hours later they called and said my transmission was being replaced and that Honda was aware of some issues with this year’s transmission. I asked if there was a recall yet as this was dangerous. They said no. I feel that’s extremely unsafe to continue to sell these vans without disclosing the known transmission issue. I feel quite cheated that I was allowed to buy a $40000 without any disclosure of a potential issue. We would have waited to buy a van then. Very very unethical

After driving for only 2000 miles, the car suddenly went into limp mode where the engine shut off. All system warning lights came on in the vehicle and we could not drive the car. The car was towed to a nearby Honda dealer and was inspected. The accelerator pedal was replaced and all error codes were cleared. While we were fortunate that this did not happen on the highway or where there were other vehicles, it is very concerning that a brand new vehicle malfunctions in this way. If my children were in the car, their safety would be put at risk. This incident also makes me question the reliability of this vehicle. There were no warning signs for this issue, as one would not expect anything to happen to a car that was purchased only a month ago. Since we were scheduled to drive 16+ hours back home in a few days, the unreliability of the car also caused unnecessary stress and anxiety. Additionally, a loose bolt was found on the driver's side after the vehicle was returned to us from the dealer.

We were driving our 2022 Honda Odessey Elite Van going 70 mph when the transmission shifted into neutral without warning on a busy interstate causing the van to no longer accelerate. We thankfully were able to coast to the shoulder, but we were unable to get the car to accelerate after the fact. There were no warning lights or indicator lights of any kind that went off leading up to the transmission failing. The car was towed to a local dealer (we were 4 hours from home) who confirmed that there was an issue with the transmission gears "miss numbering" and the transmission needed to be fully replaced after only 2,000 miles on the car. This is a significant safety issue given this occurred without warning and while the car was traveling at a high rate of speed. It not only put us as the drivers of the car at risk, but others on the road. Our car is still in the shop and the replacement of the transmission is in progress. I have seen others post of the exact same issue in online forums and it does not appear to be an isolated incident with the 2022 models.

Car won't shift gear. We were stuck on the highway which was obviously not safe. Turned off the engine, after a while started it and car was able to shift partially with lots of weird noises and only drove slowly. When we wanted to put in reverse to enter the driveway it did not respond once again and we were stuck in the middle of the road for a few minutes. Luckily no cars went by at the time. The car is ONE AND A HALF MONTHS OLD and has less than 500 MILES on it. This was crazy scary

I got a 2022 Honda Odessy towing only for 1 month with $1,500. Today, it started to shake when I tried to perform on the oil pedals. The rpm needles on the dashboard starting oscillating very quickly between gears. I can not accelerate rather than hearing a loud noise. The infotainment system froze at least 2 to 3 xs. 3. the rpm needles started oscillating very quickly, the car started shifting gears and making loud sounds. "Transmission system problem" shows on the dashboard and "blink spot information system failed problem" shows up as well. Eventually, I successfully moved the car to the sidewalk grass. It would be very dangerous if there were more traffic since it was responding to the oil pedal. The car was towered to my local Honda dealer this evening. I just can not believe a new honda odyssey broke down on the way in the first 1,500 miles. Luckily, it did not happen on the highway.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The transmission malfunctioned and is currently being replaced by the dealership. New transmission was ordered from Honda. Case ticket (12339737) has been opened with Honda America regarding this issue. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Driving on highway going 80 MPH. Van slows down to 50 MPH without warning and won't go any faster during rush hour. Luckily, no cars were behind us which they could have rear ended us. Was able to exit highway and pull into gas station. Test drive on local street and van won't go beyond 4th gear even with manual settings. Go back to gas station to park and van won't go in reverse. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, dealership confirm issue. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? UNKNOWN. Dealership is replacing transmission but don't know if Honda will come to inspect the part or not. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Cruise control was on at the time of issue and appear it wasn't able to pick up cars in front so it would slow down at random times.

The driver’s side rear-view mirror glass started to vibrate two weeks ago. While driving at freeway speed, I noticed the mirror glass tilt/drop down and it looks as if it had come detached from the mirror body itself. I pulled over and was able to “click” the mirror glass back in, but it has vibrated again a few times since. I’m concerned that the glass will detach while on the road.

On 6-10-21, we purchased a 2022 Honda Odyssey from Millennium Honda, Hempstead, NY. On the drive home, my husband immediately noticed a strong odor & felt the car acting strange on gear (like a shift that was out of place) but thought it was just part of being a new car. On 6-11-21, I drove the car with my 2 kids (2 & 5) and mom and she noticed a strong odor like "burnt rubber". The infotainment system froze & shut down twice. The car felt strange when I was accelerating. On 6-12-21, I was driving with my children on the NJ Garden State Parkway & approximately 40 minutes into the ride, the RPM needles starting oscillating very quickly between gears. The car felt strange when I was trying to accelerate. The infotainment system froze at least 2 to 3 xs. We arrived at our destination, parked the car and turned it off. That evening as I was driving back home on the Parkway approx. 20 minutes into the drive the RPM needles started oscillating very quickly, the car started shifting gears and making loud sounds. I tried to move to the right shoulder as there was a lot of traffic but the car would not accelerate despite pressing hard on the gas pedal. A few minutes later a warning message displayed "Transmission temperature near limit. Performance may be reduced." I pulled the car over horrified. We called the dealership & Honda roadside service but they could send a tow truck because I was on a state highway. My husband came to get us and after an hour he was able to slowly drive the car on "sport mode" at about 25 m/p/h. We reported the incident to our dealership and Honda America operations & they have opened a case number. The vehicle was towed today to a local Honda dealer for assessment. THIS IS A SIGNFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT POSES RISK OF HARM AND DEATH TO DRIVERS. HONDA MARKETS THIS VEHICLE TO FAMILIES & MY FAMILY'S LIFE WAS PUT IN JEOPARDY IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASE. THIS CAR WAS OUT OF SERVICE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF SALE.

We were driving on M-14 EB, merging onto I-275 N. As we approached the exit ramp, the vehicle began to decelerate as the engine wildly revved. We pulled over the the very narrow shoulder of the exit ramp, as to allow traffic to pass and turned the vehicle off, in hopes that it was simply a computer glitch. We re-started the vehicle and encountered the same problem. There were no warning lamps or indications of a problem. We managed to limp it slowly to the end of the ramp where we called Honda Roadside Assistance. We had it towed to the dealer we bought it from. Their service department called 3 days later, saying they had driven it, had the same problem, and verified that the entire transmission had failed and required replacement. We had taken deliver of this vehicle just a week earlier. It only had 212 miles on it. Had that transmission failed while we were in the center lane, with the amount of traffic at the time, it would have likely caused an accident. We were VERY lucky.

We were exiting from one freeway to another. As we approached the exit ramp, the vehicle began to decelerate and the engine began revving. We managed to pull over to the narrow shoulder, to allow traffic to pass. We turned the vehicle off, hoping is was a simple glitch in the computer. We restarted the car and encountered the same problem. We managed to limp the vehicle to the end of the entrance ramp and called Honda Roadside Assistance. They had the vehicle towed to the dealer we had purchased it from. There were no warning lamps or indications of an issue prior to this 4 days later, the service department called. The had driven it, encountered the same issue, inspected it, and determined that the entire transmission needed to be replaced. Had this occurred while we were in the middle lane rather than the exit lane, given the amount of traffic at the time, it would likely have caused multiple accidents.
