During my recent recall repair by Ed Morse Honda in Riviera Beach, FL, I was advised that the rear tailgate sensor was reported as "wet". I do the maintenance myself, so I passed on a repair at that time by the dealer. Today, I researched what might have failed both online and with my Alldatadiy subscription, and accessed the part. Indeed, the Liftgate Control Module was molded and need of repair/ replace. However, I have grandchildren now, and during the removal - realized that in a water accident or other hazard where power is lost, there is NO WAY for rear passengers to exit the van by the rear tailgate. There is NO readily accessible latch or pull to open the tailgate from the inside, and NO key nor latch available from the outside for outside assistance. Additionally, if a child is in need of exiting the rear tailgate, there is NO child safety pull to allow them to exit. During my research on how to repair the vehicle, I saw that this is an ongoing issue for this model of Honda. I like my 2018 Honda Odyssey very much, it is my second Odyssey (the first was totaled in a T-bone accident, where both wife and daughter walked away), but I believe a recall is needed for the water issue affecting the Tailgate Control Board for the short term, and safety mechanisms added for the long term. Note: I have images, but the web site is NOT allowing uploads of any .jpg nor .pdf's at this time.
I don't yet know the exact cause of the problem, but while at highway speed (approx. 72 mph), my wife pressed the gas pedal to accelerate, and it didn't work. She continued to press the pedal, and after several seconds, the vehicle did accelerate. I see this issue on severe threads and will be contacting the dealer or my mechanic as we are very concerned about this safety issue, the vehicle not accelerating when the gas pedal is pressed.
The Control Module for the Power Tailgate experienced total failure due to water damage, documented by the servicing dealership (attached service invoice) and demonstrated by the attached photos. The point of water intrusion could not be determined definitively, but cracks in the bonding location between the roof, rear driver's side exterior D-pillar panel, and tailgate surround are the likely culprit (photos attached). Failure of the Module resulted in an unusable tailgate, except for a single manual lever on the inside of the vehicle, accessible behind a piece of plastic. It also resulted in a ceaseless, loud, constant beeping on both the inside and outside of the vehicle when traveling at over 1 mph. This vehicle has never experienced an accident.
On the week of May 3rd my car began to shift into different gears with no notice or reason while driving, when it would do this it would show a warning signal on the dash that stated"transmission issue!" And the gear letter would flash on the dash. I brought the car in to the dealership it was purchased from (Ira Honda Saco, ME) as the car was shifting into reverse and park while driving causing significant safety issues for myself and my children in the car. When I arrived I was told there was issue with loaners although the service employee was great in helping me find one eventually that day as I'm a solo parent with multiple children. However, when I brought the car I said there was a recall on the transmission for this exact issue. I was told my make model and year matched but not the VIN so it couldn't be the transmission recall/issue. Then I was told the issue was the fuel injectors but that they were not covered by any warranty so I'd need to pay out of pocket. Then I was told it was partially covered and I ended up paying out of pocket for the remainder and was told the car was all set no more issues, it's fixed, completely safe to drive. Now barely 4 weeks later on 6/1024 while driving on the highway the car slams into park with the same exact warning flashing on the dash. The car behind me nearly rear ended me and my seatbelt engaged as I was going 65mph and came to a complete halt, causing bruising to my chest and collar bone. I immediately brought it back to the dealership and they suddenly say it's the transmission (like I said last month) but that it's not under warranty and is $6300 to repair that Honda can't guarantee they can cover with a claim and they also don't have a loaner or any vehicle I can use to safely transport myself or my children. Yet the only reason I am at the dealership with a car that has now twice nearly caused severe injury events or death is due to the dealership's misdiagnosis of the issue and the guarantee the car was fixed
Water intrusion is causing failure of my liftgate module. The maintenance shop has identified this as the issue. After doing some research, this appears to no be a one time situation as i have read of several other owners experiencing the same issue. Lift gate is not opening and potential of liftgate opening uncommand due to module failure.
My 2018 Honda Odyssey stalls or hesitates when I go from a stop to accelerate. The vehicle will lose all power for 3-6 seconds and when the engine catches up to the pedal, the vehicle accelerates hard, spinning the tires and jerking the vehicle. I've had the vehicle inspected at my local Honda dealership and they've said the vehicle has no open recalls. This includes the fuel pump recall and the engine recall, neither recall has been issued for my vehicle. The results of the inspection was the technician explaining that "the vehicle just does that." My vehicle has not produced any warning lamps for the engine. My vehicle has produced several warnings lamps and warning messages on the infotainment screen about the side doors being open. I've had several instances where the door will not close and or will not open properly.

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

Power tailgate issue continues to happen. The module is somehow getting water damage and shorting out. This is the second time in a year that I have to replace the module. I can’t even manually open my trunk without having to climb through the car and undo the latch from the inside
When audio system is turned on, a very loud crackling sound occurs, and will continue after audio is turned off. Sirius XM works most of the time (with crackling sound). However, when the regular radio is turned on the audio will work for just a minute (with crackling sound), and then it will suddenly stop working and a message pops up on the display that says "audio connection lost". This also happens when a phone's Bluetooth audio is connected to the car. It triggers the audio system to suddenly fail. There has been other electrical issue with the rear lift-gate suddenly closing, with no way to stop it. It almost pinned my daughter and I on separate occasions. I'm not sure if this electrical issue is related to the audio issue, but as with any electrical issue I worry about the possibility of an electrical fire.
The forward camera malfunctions and causes the Cruise Control, Lane Assist, and Emergency Breaking to be inoperative. After looking online, this is a frequent issue for this van. I believe it is related to the recent recall because it was functioning perfectly until right after we had the recall repaired.
Occasionally, when the driver presses the accelerator, the car hesitates for about 1-3 seconds before accelerating. This most commonly happens when starting up from a stop sign or red light and after letting off the accelerator to slow down temporarily and then pressing the accelerator to speed up. This has been happening for at least a year or two. I recently received a safety recall notice from Honda saying that if I were experiencing this symptom, I needed to contact a dealer to have it repaired for free (with "FREE" in bold, red, and underlined letters). However, when I called a dealer and later called Honda Customer Service, they both told me that I would need to pay a $170 fee to run a diagnostic check. Then, if the diagnostic check showed that my car was experiencing an issue related to the recall, I would be reimbursed the $170 fee. However, if the diagnostic check did not show that my car was experiencing the issue, I would not be reimbursed. Requiring me to risk $170 to run the diagnostic check is not repairing my vehicle for free - especially when I am experiencing symptoms described in the recall notice. I believe Honda and the dealer should be required to honor what they wrote in their letter and both run the diagnostic check and complete the repair at no charge to me.

In May 2025, the front-facing windshield-mounted monocular multi-purpose camera unit abruptly failed in our 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite. The vehicle had ~53,000 miles on the odometer at the time. This resulted in essentially all of the warning lights showing/cycling on the dashboard display and total failure of the safety features dependent on this camera system (adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, etc). The unit had to be completely replaced and calibrated by my local Honda dealer.
Since 2020, we have noticed that the 2018 Honda Odyssey we own will not accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed. There is a noticeable delay between 1 to 3 seconds for the vehicle to accelerate. Once the vehicle accelerates, it does so at an increased rate of speed that is dangerous and scary. This has led to 100+ near miss collisions with pedestrians and other oncoming vehicles at 4-way lighted intersections, highway on-ramps and other driving scenarios. This has caused me and my family traumatic stress (injury) as we've had so many close calls due to Honda's manufacturing failures and failures to address this problem. We have to drive extra cautiously and under stress in anticipation of the acceleration delay. We took to the dealership several times and they said there appears to be no issue even though I'm certain they didn't do thorough test drive to inspect problem. We will seek legal remedies if NHTSA and Honda will not address this defect that is being reported by hundreds of other 2018-19 Honda Odyssey owners.
The automatic tail gate stopped working. When I went to replace the tailgate control module I found out that it was damaged due to water that leaked into the rear driver side cabin area. After doing some research to figure out the problem, I found that there where many others that have had the same problems on the same year, make and model as mine.

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

Emission system error messages popping up and disappearing until the fuel injector completely malfunctions and check engine light flashes along with several other safety lights. Car’s engine will be destroyed with further use or possible spontaneous stall while driving. This VIN is not included in current Honda fuel injector recall but clearly should be. Honda Please help get the recall extended to include other 2018-2020 Honda vehicles whose VIN isn’t included but still is dangerous to drive due to failing fuel injector.
When starting from a stop - either dead stop or coasting stop, but after applying the brake, when you start gently pressing the accelerator, nothing happens for an excessive amount of time. Likely only a second, but feels much longer when you're trying to make a left hand turn in front of oncoming traffic. The van may be barely rolling, because the brake isn't engaged, but you're only coasting with no response from the gas pedal. Then, after the short delay the engine feels like it is trying to catch up to where it should be based on the amount you've already depressed the pedal, and the van starts so fast the tires are peeling out. Our Odyssey has done this for several years. Its 100% a transmission software problem occuring when the car starts rolling from a stop and is "between" 1st and 2nd gear in an almost "neutral" state to prevent engine braking when throttle is not being applied, which would make for a not so smooth driving experience. However, this transmission obviously has really poor response times moving between these "in gear" and "neutral" states, and thus, we get the hesitation everyone has described when throttle is reapplied. The 1st gear in this transmission is EXTREMELY short. Fun fact, if you switch from automatic to standard shift mode(S) and use the shift paddles to force it to start in either 1st or 2nd gear, it's literally impossible to replicate the hesitation issue whether you're in ECON mode or not. By putting it standard shift mode, you take the TCU programming that was implemented to make the overall operation of the transmission feel more smooth, completely out of the equation so that you're fully in a particular gear, no matter what your throttle position is. The 9-speed transmission in these vehicles was KNOWN to shift extremely rough between gears; this is dangerous. From Honda - "If we can't find an error code, the problem doesn't exist and hence, we can't fix it." Pls review, hopefully this will make Honda address it
One day i turned on vehicle and all the warning lights turned on, the lkas system. Automatic emergency breaking, lane departure warning. Cruise control, brake system. More lights that i cant remember. I took it to the honda dealership and they found that it was an internal front multi purpose camera failure that caused all these features to not work which i was told is a safety issue because the seat belts may not engage or other safety features. I have heard of this front multi purpose camera failure multiple times for the odyssey. There were no warning before failure. I do have the failed component in my posession. It has now been replaced and the issue resolved
There is water leaking through the seams of my Van from where it wasn't welded and sealed properly, My tailgate opened on the highway today while I had my 7 kids in the vehicle while it was pouring down rain. I could not get my tailgate to stay closed and keep getting a power tailgate problem on my dashboard. My tailgate will no longer stay latched it automatically opens on its own and refuses to stay shut. I looked at the control module and it was completely soaked in water and can see the water leaking from the top of my vehicle in between the exterior frame and the interior frame. There are holes in the welding. They're quoting me almost $1000 to fix the mistake they made while manufacturing the vehicle. I currently have a bungie chord keeping my tailgate shut but it continously beeps from where it's trying to open automatically. Definitely the scariest day of my life today. This needs to be dealt with ASAP. Today could have been much worse than it was. Honda needs to be held accountable before someone dies over this. There is no reason why my tailgate should have automatically opened on the highway doing 65mph with my 7 children in the car.
- Monocular Camera failure. It is available for inspection upon request. - Multiple Dash warning lights are on and several safety features, including forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking fail to work. Dealer states that the monocular camera cannot be disabled because it is a safety feature. - The problem has been confirmed by a dealer. The dealer stated the problem was not caused by consumer usage or accident, but was an internal failure of the monocular camera. - No additional inspections have been performed. -There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, which first appeared in April 2024 at ~104,000 miles on the vehicle.
when stopped in traffic or a light, the engine idle engages. on several occassions (5-6) the stop is too short but the Auto Engine idle is engaged and rather than restart the engine, it turns the engine off. THe car will not restart or turn off unless i open the driver door then hit the on/off button and let the whole car completely shut down before turning it back on. It can take almost full minute or more to go through the process. The danger to myself and those in my car, when we are stopped on the highway, busy road and traffic begins to move again, and i have to open my driver door to get the car to turn back on. I have informed the Honda Dealership (Pohanka Fredericksburg) about the incidents almost every time they have occurred to have them look at the vehicle, but informed they cannot reproduce the problem. I have had video of the incident occurring.
Car stalls out and completely shuts off when auto start/stop is engaged. In the 2018 model there is no way to turn off auto start/stop. The car has been unable to turn on for 3 minutes causing major safety and traffic issues. On average it takes 10-20 seconds to manually restart the vehicle with the engine start/stop button. We have taken the vehicle back to the Honda dealership multiple (3-4) times with no resolution and in they can’t find the problem, but has happened to them during test drive. They did a system update hoping it will solve the problem, but it hasn’t. I’m going to have to take it back to Honda again. Please issue a recall, this has been a known problem/issue and is on Reddit. The issue first started about a year and a half ago with the most recent occurrence being today, April 17th 2024. The vehicle has failed to turn back on after the auto start/stop engaged over 20 times.
On April 13th, 2024 our son was driving the family 2018 Honda Odyssey (Approx 83,000 miles) in a nearby city. He was driving at 43 mph when the vehicle shifted from drive to neutral without his shifting it. He tried to brake using the brake pedal but was unable to stop or slow the vehicle. He also tried to accelerate and was unable to accelerate the vehicle. All the lights on the dashboard lit up and he was forced to use the emergency brake to stop the minivan. A good samaritan stopped and assuming that the battery was the problem, tried to help jump-start the vehicle -- but they were unable to start the car. Our son called us, and I drove 20 or so miles to his location. After trying a jump box in the vehicle, we called AAA. After trying a jump start and a new battery, At this point the technician said that the vehicle would need to be towed. The transmission of the minivan appeared to be locked and the towing company was not able to find a means to unlock the transmission. As a result, the front tires were placed on skids, which allowed the minivan to be drawn up onto the bed of the tow vehicle and towed the vehicle 20 miles to the local dealer, which had originally sold us the vehicle and had completed all recent maintenance. On Monday, the Honda service technician assessed it. We were advised that the 2018 Odyssey would require a new engine. After involving American Honda, we learned that the transmission was also affected, and the car would need to have $28,000 of repairs. After a month of discussions with American Honda, they closed our case without a teardown to identify root cause of the event. Our son could easily have been killed by being in a vehicle that could not be controlled while it was moving down the street. He used the only means available to him to stop the vehicle – the emergency parking brake. American Honda has told us that we must pay the $1600 to tear the engine apart to learn the cause. We have more history than can fit here.
I started the vehicle and it displayed a message on the infotainment system screen that the system had lost power. I believed that this would only affect the radio functionality which I was not concerned about immediately. I placed the vehicle in reverse and I accidentally backed up into a parked car. At no point before the accident did I realize the rear camera did not work and the collision assistance sensors did not function. I believe if the collision avoidance system was working correctly my accident would have been prevented. I have come to depend on the safety features of this vehicle. I know that this is not an issue with my car battery as I recently had a Honda dealer install a new battery prior to this accident and the vehicle started normally.
Water getting into rear liftgate control module. Had to replace seal and module.
It is available for inspection on request. Lost blindspot info, lost use of turn indicators, rear door hatch malfunction, several warnings flash up while driving. I was in a busy area and didn't have a way to signal my movements, screen flashing warnings was terrifying, the van felt like it might turn off at any moment. Before the most recent incident, we had brought the van to Honda dealer for repair, for similar issues that occured at start-up, they found water in the power control unit in rear left area of van that caused corrosion and short-circuit. No body damage or alterations to vehicle. Replaced unit and after rainy weather problems recurred at start up and power down, then while driving, they tested the battery and it was almost dead (the battery was only 1 month old) replaced battery. Problems recurred and water found again. significant leak suspected but not found yet as the service department won't evaluate the seals, and told us it's a body-shop task. summary: intermittent left-side passenger door and rear hatch door malfunction, blind spot system warnings/loss, loss of turn indication, brake system warnings, other system warnings, difficulty starting the car and turning the car off, brand new battery drained while the car was parked and turned off. This manufacturing defect should be addressed by Honda, seals should not fail when exposed to regular conditions. Water should not enter the vehicle and short out an important component leading to several malfunctions that could cause loss of important systems and rear-door latch while driving.
Water leaks into tailgate control module causing tailgate not to work. Replaced module, problem came back after 3 weeks. This is a common issue for the current generation Odyssey.

2018 Honda Odyssey engine failure due to a 'spun' connecting rod bearing. This is a known issue with this particular make and model and should be considered in the recall for these vehicles.
The forward warning system will say brake without anyone or anything in front of you. It will then slam on the brakes. This is very dangerous and has almost resulted in multiple collisions. We have took it to the dealership numerous times and it has not been fixed. I have called American Honda and they will not fix the issue. I get the run around that it is outside of warranty. It was took to them under warranty but was never fixed. The local Honda dealer wants to just try swapping out cameras at a price of $2,500. They do not know if it will even fix it. Now the system has numerous warning lights related to the adaptive cruise, lane keep assistance, forward warning system and lane departure warning. Again I have called America Honda and local dealership. They do not know how to fix it. This is a major safety hazard and they should be forced to repair it under a recall.
My van driving on the highway and pop up two error cods at the same time, one is transmission system problem and the other is blind spot info system problem. Check it out with code P0741. And this incident happened 7 times in the past 6 months.
Part of the interior frame under the dashboard disintegrated. This was discovered while Honda was fixing a different recall involving electrical components.
