2018 Honda Odyssey Complaint Log

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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..

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

TAKING NOISE AT MORNING CALLS START

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.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. 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 the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that on one occasion the battery was replaced due to the failure. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,500. Parts distribution disconnection.

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

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.

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

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.
