  • 12/28/2024· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

    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.

  • 12/23/2024· ELECTRICAL SYSTEMFire

    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.

  • 12/17/2022· SEAT BELTS,SEATS

    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.

  • 12/08/2025· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

    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.

  • 11/29/2025· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

    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???

  • 11/18/2025· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

    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.

  • 11/17/2024· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

    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.

  • 11/17/2024· AIR BAGS

    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.

  • 11/17/2024· POWER TRAIN

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

  • 10/31/2025· ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

    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.

    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.

  • 10/21/2024· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

  • 09/24/2023· AIR BAGS

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Exploding SunRoof: I was driving on the east bound 2020 freeway about 65 mph. There were no taller cars or trucks around, no overpass. All of a sudden there as a huge bang. The glass of the sunroof had exploded. It has not been used in 2 years. I cannot think of anything that could have caused it. I have only opened the sunroof once back in 2024 when I got the vehicle just to see what it was like; I haven't used it since then. When I stopped, it looked like a basketball and gone through the glass. I can't image how dangerous it would have been if the inside cover had been opened and the glass had sprayed the car. I did not get a picture of it. I drove directly to State Farm and they looked at it an approved the repair without photos.

    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.

    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??

  • 08/27/2024· SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

    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.

    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.

    The engine fails to restart on its own after the Auto Idle Stop (auto start/stop) system shuts it off at a stop. When this occurs the vehicle is left without power and I must shift to Park and restart the engine manually with the ignition button. This has happened while I was stopped at an intersection in traffic, leaving the vehicle disabled in a live lane until I could restart it. This is a serious safety hazard — the vehicle cannot move when traffic begins to move, and it cannot be moved out of the path of cross traffic. Honda's service campaign remedy for this condition (PGM-FI software update) was performed on my vehicle in March 2025. The failure recurred after that repair and has continued for approximately nine months. On [XXX] I returned to the selling dealer (Bob Rohrman Honda, Lafayette, Indiana, RO #[XXX]) and was charged $170 for diagnosis. The technician road-tested the vehicle, performed a battery test, and reported that the system was operating correctly with "no problem found." No cause was identified and the condition was not corrected. The failure has continued to occur since that visit. My vehicle is within the scope of NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA25004. I am filing this report because my vehicle demonstrates the specific pattern cited in that investigation: the failure persisting after the manufacturer's service campaign repair was completed.

    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

    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.
