2019 Honda Odyssey Complaint Log

Emissions recall work was completed on the vehicle but the vehicle continues to exhibit "start" issues. The gas pedal can be depressed and a large delay can be experienced in the vehicle responding to the pedal causing the risk of injury and accident. The vehicle was taken to the shop and error code 219 A/B was the problem meaning fuel injectors not working properly and my particular VIN was not under those covered for replacement. Multiple warning lights associated with this problem including Emissions System Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist problem, Power Steering Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Brake Assist Problem. The vehicle had about 95,000 miles when these warnings started.

After two months of sitting outside in the Arizona Sun, the transmission was replaced on my 2019 Honda Odyssey. A day after picking it up all of the sensors came on. I have been informed that it’s an internal failure with the ADAS camera that’s housed in the windshield. After a brief web search, this seems to be a common issue related to electrical issues with the car. Since the electrical was connected and disconnected during the transmission replacement begs to reason that there was something faulty about this camera that didn’t make its way through the reset.

The powertrain jumps sometimes it is not smooth.The brakes does not hold too good.

I am submitting this complaint to report a serious and recurring safety issue with my Honda Odyssey involving the front monocular camera system. After stopping for fuel and restarting the vehicle, multiple warning messages and fault codes appeared on the dashboard simultaneously, including: -Collision Mitigation System Problem -Adaptive Cruise Control Problem -Lane Keep Assist Problem -Auto High Beam Problem These systems are all disabled due to a failure of the front monocular camera. This failure occurred without warning and immediately compromised several critical driver-assistance and safety features. Based on my research and discussions with other Honda Odyssey owners, this is a known and widespread issue. Honda is aware that the front monocular camera is prone to failure, and numerous owners have reported identical symptoms and error codes. Despite this, no recall has been issued. The required repair involves replacement and recalibration of the front camera and carries an estimated cost of approximately $1,500, which places a significant financial burden on owners for what appears to be a known defect. More importantly, the sudden loss of collision mitigation, lane assist, and adaptive cruise control presents a clear safety concern, especially when drivers rely on these systems during normal operation. Given the safety implications and the number of reported cases, I believe this issue warrants further investigation and a formal recall by Honda. Owners should not be responsible for the cost of repairing a known defect that disables critical safety systems. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

With no external cause the multifunction camera/radar stopped working at ~59000 miles almost immediately after we purchased it (used).Problem may have been disguised by dealer and occurred earlier.oly fix is a $2000+ replacement. automatic braking, cruise, lane keeping, collision alerts all disabled.

The multipurpose camera has an internal failure at 105 thousand miles. This controls the automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and more. This safety features such as emergency braking, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning are important safety features. All of these features help drivers avoid collisions by acting to correct or avoid collisions or accidents faster or earlier than drivers can react. The Honda dealership service department has confirmed that the multipurpose camera had an internal failure, but did not provide a reason and there was no inciting incident during driving or ownership that caused this. The Honda dealership service department has been inspected and diagnosed that the multipurpose camera had an internal failure. No, there were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. They only appeared after the failure, and the failure happened without warning. The failure first appeared on July 7th, 2025.

Ever since we bought the car, the car has hesitated when we step on the gas pedal. It will then jerk forward, which makes it difficult to merge into traffic. There is a safety concern as it is unpredictable about when it will happen and when the car will start to go.

On random occasions all of the above warning lights come on. They will stay on for weeks at a time despite replacing the battery and following all reset protocol. It seems when weather is cooler, everything functions as it should and cam work fine for days and out of the blue will throw all the alerts again making lane assist, cruise control, and all departure assists not function. Because the system works sometimes and not others, the honda dealership doesnt believe it is an issue with the camera or sensor specifically because it would never work properly. It isnt an obstruction issues as I make it a point to regularly clean the sensor area on the grill and on the window where the camera is. A strange thing I notice is it seems 5o work better on days that are foggy or raining where youd think there would be obstruction. Its just been a whole distraction while driving. I would be content at this point just to have those options not function ever but keep the orange blinking annoying lights off that decide to work randomly with no reason or rhyme.

Car shut down for idle stop when I let foot off break the car did not start back up. Car died and I needed to restart car.

Intermittent hesitation to accelerate.

While driving on the interstate (60-70 mph) in very light traffic (2 cars in view), there was a beep from the consol and the following errors flashed: Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assistance Warning. At the same time as the beep the car felt like the breaks were being slammed on for 2 second. There was no car within 30 feet of us. and we went from ~70 mph to 40. This startled us. Ever sense then the errors would randomly come on and the vehicle will break suddenly, leading to very unsafe moments.

On July 1st 2025, while driving in Raton, New Mexico, my 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L experienced a spontaneous deployment of the driver-side curtain airbag. I was exiting the highway and slowing down to a stop sign (approx. 30 mph) when the airbag deployed. There was no crash, no impact, and no obstacle. This deployment disabled the entire SRS system, leaving the vehicle unsafe. My family — including three children — were in the car. I received a minor airbag burn on my arm, which healed in 24 hours. The SRS light came on only afterwards. There is zero exterior or interior damage. I recorded a video immediately after. The certified collision center at David McDavid Honda (Irving, TX) inspected the vehicle and confirmed in writing that there was no sign of collision. They sent me $11,000 repair (attached). I opened a case with American Honda on Monday, July 7th 2025 and I have not heard back since. The vehicle and components are available for inspection. I’ve since found multiple reports of similar airbag deployments in 2018–2020 Honda Odysseys, including:     •    https://www.odyclub.com/threads/2019-honda-odyssey-elite-random-air-bag-deployment.380737/     •    https://www.odyclub.com/threads/random-airbag-deployment.382243/     •    https://www.odyclub.com/threads/side-curtain-airbags-deployed-w-out-collision.366424/ This appears to be a pattern of spontaneous deployment and SRS failure that poses serious safety risk and warrants investigation.

The front multifunction windshield camera module failed due to a hot day. The cruise control, lane departure, collision mitigation, and other advanced driver safety assists are completely non functional. These are key safety features for ourselves and others. It has been confirmed by technicians, and many other owners of vehicle this model and generation with the same problem. It hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer. Many warning indications came on during startup and all the systems stated above stopped working. They haven't worked sense. This same thing happened about 2 years ago on this same van. This is a very common issue with this vehicle model and year. The manufacturer needs to issue recall for it.

Majority of the time while driving you can hear static popping noises from the speakers. Sometimes it will degrade to not having any audio via radio, res, or phone connection. When it is in this state if placed in reverse, the backup camera will not function or display on infotainment screen.

Auto stop start feature caused car to stall at a traffic light. Could didn’t not restart when brake pedal was released. Car did not restart until door was opened and key was cycled several times.

Upon coming to a complete stop on the freeway, the idle engine feature stopped the engine. Upon letting go of the gas, the engine wouldn't restart and the electrical systems in the car malfunctioned showing a restart of the car would be needed. After trying to restart the car, the engine wouldn't turn over. After pushing the off button and starting the car again, it finally restarted. This created a hazardous situation as there was the potential for the car behind us to rear end us since we were at a complete stop on the freeway. After the software update, this happened again at a right turn on a local street.

Warning for Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto High Beam, Collision Mitigation, and Road Departure all populated at once. The functionality does not work, even regular cruise control without the adaptive feature. There have been many reports of this issue with fixes upwards of $3,000. Appears to be a faulty camera. This is a safety issue and should be addressed and recalled.

When trying to accelerate from slow/ stopped, the car struggles to get into gear. I have on numerous occasions been merging or getting onto another road from a stop sign and the vehicle will start to go just slightly and then stall before suddenly jumping into gear. It has caused me to stall in front of oncoming vehicles even though im careful to not go unless there is Noone within a long distance from me. I have taken it to the dealership and there are no codes for transmission or any other issues. Im not sure what the issue is but it is very unsettling.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that several unknown warning lights were also illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed camera system. The contact was informed that the camera system needed to be replaced, and the software needed to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,395.

5 warning shows up.

The front sensor has malfunctioned and all ADAS features are now disabled. There is no damage to the vehicle and was mentioned that this is a common issue yet no recall has been instituted yet.

I had 5 warnings appeared in the dashboard : -Adaptive cruise control problem -Lane keeping assist problem -Collision mitigation system problem -road departure mitigation system problem -Auto high-beam problem and the Amber Brake system light came on permanently Searched the problem on Google and Reddit found many Honda Odyssey owners having the same problem which is a safety issue some people took their vehicle to the dealership and have been told that the windshield camera is causing these warnings to appear because the camera is overheated by the sun, and the manufacturer did not make the camera well ventilated to dissipate heat caused by sun light

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) My 2019 Honda Odyssey slammed on the brakes while traveling 70+ MPH on a clear freeway. There was no warning and nothing in the road. I have also had issues with the braking warning light flashing for no reason while traveling down the roadway. I called the Honda dealership and inquired about the braking issues and was told unfortunately it can happen, especially if I drive on windy roads.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the contact heard a ticking sound coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the rod bearings had failed, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

Warning lights for collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, and several additional safety features went on without any triggering incident. Brought to the dealership, where diagnosis is DTC U3000-49 Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar internal electronic failure. Technician advised that this failure often happens after a few years for no apparent reason. Repair is upwards of $4000. Without repair, none of these safety functions operate.

Turned on the car the other day and several warnings displayed on the odometer. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem Lake Keeping Assist Problem Collision Mitigation Problem Road Departure Mitigation System Problem Auto High-Beam Problem Other than cruise controls not working, the car works fine. I took it to the dealer, and they said the camera module behind the rear view mirror needs to be replaced. Technician claimed that because my cruise control button was left on, it kept the camera running, and basically overheated the camera to a fault. He mentioned recommending to router owners that they only turn on the cruise control button when they plan to use it, and to leave it off if not. I asked if turning the cruise control button when not in use was referenced in the owner’s manual, but he was unsure. I would have to double check, but I don’t believe that warning is there.

When I start the vehicle, I consistently get warnings for ACC problem, Lake Keep Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation Problem, Road Departure Mitigation problem, and Auto High Beam Problem. This occurs every time I have driven the vehicle for the past week. From cursory research, this issue commonly appears to be related to a failure of the camera module located next to the rearview mirror.

At restaurant on 6/1/25, backed out of parking spot. Drove about 30 ft to parking lot exit. Turned onto side street to go to light and turn on main street. About 3 or 4 car lengths from exit to light. Side street sloped down about 20-30 degrees. Brakes would not stop van. Not sure if brakes slowed down van as going slow. However, brake pedal pushed hard down to floor but did not stop van. If hit gas pedal van would have accelerated and engine raced causing acceleration and more damage. No damage to back of vehicle I hit. Very minor damage to my van. Tried yesterday and today to replicate (in isolated locations and with no other vehicle near) the van’s conditions at time of incident. I will be contacting dealer. There is no recall. Do not know if anyone else had this problem or if dealer can find any issue. Notifying NHTSA to advise of this potential systemic issue. I’ll follow up with results of interaction with dealer.

Multipurpose camera is defective. The camera is available for inspection upon request. A number of safety features do not work when this camera is not operational, including forward collision warning and lane departure warning. Honda dealership performed a diagnostic and confirmed it needs to be replaced. No other parties have inspected the camera. There were no warning messages prior to the camera failing, only after it had failed. This appears to be a common issue affecting many owners of this vehicle.

Power Tailgate failure. The power tailgate no longer opens and closes. There seems to be no cause for this. I have read, however, on several forums that this is a manufacturing defect and that rainwater is getting through the seal to damage the control motor. I cannot open the tailgate from outside the vehicle. This is a safety concern. There were no warnings leading up to this. I called my local Honda dealer to find out if there were any safety recalls, but there were none. I think there should be--this vehicle is only 6 years old.

I was driving the van and all this warnings came on my dashboard. ACC Adaptive cruis control problem, Lane keeping assist problem, collision mittigation problem. Road departure mittigation problem. All they come one after eachother on my dashboard. I did some research and a lot of vans 2019 have the sa e issues. My friend van same problem she payed 1900 to replace the camera. This is a safety issue and it cost a lot to replace. It cannot be deactivated. I hope it will be a recall issued for this model. I have 3 minivans honda. I never had an issue with thjs brand . The new one is terrible.... Thank you.

The Brake System warning light is on. With this, it is showing 5 different issue messages when the car is running. I've taken to the dealer and they are saying there is an issue with the multipurpose front camera. My car is on 39,900 miles.

My tailgate originally would not open and now the vehicle is inoperable. This was caused by a leak through the roof, where Honda failed to properly seal a seam, causing water to get onto the trunk control module and damage it. I see online this is happening with almost all Gen 5 Honda Odysseys and is clearly a manufacturing defect, causing thousands in repairs for each.

I am filing a complaint regarding an unresolved safety recall related to the fuel pump motor (NHTSA Recall 21V215000 and/or 23V858000). In 2024, I brought my 2019 Honda Odyssey to Stevenson Hendrick Honda in an attempt to complete the fuel pump recall. I was informed the part was not available and no repair was completed. I was told to check back later. In preperation for a family road trip I checked back in and was told the part was still unavailable. Unfortunately, I did not receive a written confirmation of these visits. Yesterday (5/21/2025), the vehicle failed to start and had to be towed to the dealership. The error code DTC P0087 (fuel rail/system pressure too low) was logged. I have now been presented with $4,000 in repairs, all related to the same fuel pump issue that should have been corrected under the recall. This failure represents a serious safety concern and has caused financial and logistical hardship. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this as a failure of Honda to provide timely remedy for a known defect, resulting in vehicle failure and costly repairs for a safety-critical system.

Nothing has happened yet, but I have been unable to get the connecting rod bearings inspected per the Honda safety recall notice. I contacted the Honda dealer in January of 2025 to have the bearings inspected, as well as to have the fuel pump replaced (also under recall). I wanted them both done at the same time. I set up an appointment for May 21st of 2025, because that date was the first mutually available date for the dealer and me. Later in the day, on May 21st, I got a call from the service department that my fuel pump was done, but they did not do the bearing inspection. I went to pick up the vehicle at the dealership only to find that the check engine light was on, so I had to leave the vehicle overnight so that the check engine light problem could be corrected. It was then that I was told that they could not do the connecting rod bearing inspection because the procedure requires a "special tool" and Honda had to send it to them. I find this strange because of the number of months that went by, from when I first contacted the dealership until the appointment date, and I thought that they would have been better prepared to complete the work. I was also informed by Honda that all of the parts necessary to do the bearing inspection were available. I received that notification on September 4th of 2024. I also find it strange that, out of nearly 250,000 affected vehicles, I am the first to request this service at this dealership. I was not told how long it would be until the dealership service department would receive the tool. In the recall notice from Honda, a connecting rod failure could potentially result in "...a fire, crash, or injury". That's the risk. I was told by Honda to continue driving the vehicle if I was not having any symptoms of failure. I have had no indications, but I would like to have this recall taken care of as soon as possible.

The automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning will occasionally go off when there are no vehicles or obstructions in the way. It will often cause the vehicle to brake and make the driver act to keep the vehicle in lane or from another vehicle from rear ending you.

My 2019 Honda Odyssey’s power liftgate control model failed due to water intrusion. My liftgate started to open and close while I was driving, would close on me while loading/unloading the trunk, and would also open while parked in parking lots nearly hitting passing vehicles. It is truly a huge safety concern. Once the old module was out, I found extensive corrosion and rust on the module and its housing. As well, the entire bracket inside of the vehicle is rusted. There appears to be a defect in the manufacturers body seams that is allowing water to enter.

The multi-purpose camera/millimeter wave radar has been diagnosed by a certified Honda service center as having an internal failure, disabling all advanced driver assistance systems from operating as designed. These systems include: adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, collision mitigation braking, lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, automatic high beam. The failure of these safety systems has increased the risk of crash and injury to the vehicle occupants.

Warnings Displayed: 1.Auto High-Beam Problem 2.Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Problem 3.Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) Problem 4.Collision Mitigation System Problem 5.Road Departure Mitigation System Problem 6.Brake System Warning (Red BRAKE light illuminated) Dealer diagnostic: Multipurpose camera malfunctioning. costs $2218 to replace. This should be a manufacturer recall.

On a rainy day, the power tailgate began to malfunction. First it would open part of the way, beep, and then close, then when trying again it would go move back and forth on its own, and then close. Trying it again later, however, it completely stopped working to the point where we had to manually force it to open and close, only the latch would work. The heads-up display showed power tailgate error. On my attempt to troubleshoot I found that water had leaked into the area behind the driver's-side rear inside body panel where the rear control module and fuse housing is located, which I noticed was covered with water. I was able to partially dry this. Later on the rear tailgate started working again briefly but the problem returned and now it no longer works. I contacted Honda USA about this issue and they told me there is no recall for this, however when I did a google search this issue immediately pops up and seems to be a common manufacturing safety problem that has not been addressed.

Delayed transmission engagement when accelerating from a stopped position. When the accelerator is depressed the transmission hesitates and does not shift for a few seconds. This is very unsafe when trying accelerate into traffic or cross roads. This has been an on going issue with this transmission.

Well driving on the highway in CT. I hit a pot hole and the drive side curtain airbags deployed. There was no accident, but my kids were freaked out.

Ton of warning messages. On the Honda online forum you can find hundreds of people with the same problem

I am filing this complaint to report a recurring and costly defect involving the starter system in my Honda Odyssey. The vehicle has been experiencing starter failures every few months, requiring repeated repairs and part replacements. Each time the starter fails, I am left stranded without warning, creating a serious safety hazard, especially when the failure occurs in public areas, on road shoulders, or during emergencies. The defect has caused extreme inconvenience, financial strain, and raised serious concerns about the reliability and safety of this vehicle. Given the frequency and cost of the problem, I believe this constitutes a systemic defect that should be investigated for a potential recall or manufacturer responsibility. I urge the NHTSA to thoroughly investigate this matter to determine whether this ongoing issue with the starter poses a broader public safety concern and qualifies for regulatory or enforcement action.

Without any notable prior messages or symptoms prior to the failure, on [XXX] after dropping off the kids at school and then turning on my 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L (28,170 miles), the "Brake System" light was on and the following 5 dashboard warning lights/messages turned on: 1) Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, 2) Lane Keeping Assist Problem, 3) Collision Mitigation System Problem, 4) Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, 5) Auto High-Beam Problem. The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems no longer works, and it becomes unknown to the driver whether the "Brake System" light is being triggered only by the Collision Mitigation System Problem, or an additional problemch as the anti-lock brake system not working. While no accidents occurred, the warning lights add unneeded driver anxiety, which can contribute to a potential safety impact. The problem has been confirmed by the San Leandro, CA Honda Dealer to be error code U3000-49. Dealer diagnosed problem as "Multipurpose camera / millimeter wave radar internal circuit failure" and recommended to replace the multipurpose camera and perform aiming. Dealer advised that safety features will not work. The diagnostic fee was $179.10, and the repair fee was quoted as $2456.55 The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others.

The fuel injector system is failing. The check engine light came on at around 60k miles and the error code P219A is present for this model. Service Bylletin 21-010 covers Honda Odysseys but do not cover this specific VIN.

I was driving to work and all of a sudden, the Check Engine light turned on and when I looked at the dashboard, it says Emissions System Problem. As I went home, I purchased an OBD sensor and as I used it, it read P219A which is about fuel injectors replacement. I was searching for answers online and I came across an extended warranty for problems like this with 18-19 Honda Odyssey but it says for certain VIN numbers. I called Honda America and said that my VIN number is not within the list so they are not covering the warranty. Same is true with the dealerships, they said the same thing. As I looked into Odyssey Forum online, a few of us at about 90k mileage has this issue and we were all told that our VIN numbers are not in the list. I do hope you can help us on this that we can be covered by Honda regarding this inconvenience.

This vehicle is horrible and should be bought back by Honda. They knowingly put this bad engine in the 2018-2019 year models for the Odyssey. The transmission grinds. The read door opens. The engine shuts off while driving at high rates of speed. You then have to pull to the side of the road and turn the ignition off, open the door, and restart the vehicle. I have complained to Honda for a buy back and they flat out said NO! Please help.

About 5 warning lights came on simultaneously keeping me from driving my vehicle safely

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that whenever it rained, water was leaking into the vehicle and caused the rear door circuit board and power module to short circuit. The contact stated that the rear door was inoperable. The contact stated that the failure was an ongoing issue which started a year after purchasing the vehicle new. The contact stated that whenever it rained the rear door failed to function normally. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same dealer several times and the dealer was unable to duplicate or determine the cause of the failure. The contact had taken the vehicle back to the same dealer for the recent failure. The dealer diagnosed that water had entered the vehicle from the roof and had accumulated in the rear door near the electrical circuits. The dealer determined that the rear door power module and circuit board needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.
