| Feb 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I was patient throughout the 2 previous Odyssey recalls (which took HONDA months to remedy) but, since, according to HONDA, fuel pump recall # 23V-858 poses a clear SAFETY RISK: If the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury -- I cannot be patient again. My vehicle, which seats 8, is regularly used to transport people from [XXX] of age. If this vehicle should stall on the busy [XXX] highway, or even just fail to start on a hot Florida day, it could have serious consequences for the occupants. I have reached-out to Honda Corporate, and my local Honda Dealer (where I bought the car) but neither would even offer a guess as to how/when this unacceptable SAFETY RISK will be corrected on my vehicle. Thus far, I've had no obvious issue with the fuel pump defect; please help me resolve the issue before my lucks runs out. Many thanks in advance.

| Feb 2024 | POWER TRAIN | The transmission slips or doesn't engage appropriately. The van lurches forward at intersections and slips, pauses with a loud clunking noise at lower gears when driving in town. This morning, I attempted to cross a double highway...pressed the accelerator, nothing happened, then the vehicle lurched forward, stopped again, then lurched forward again all with the accelerator pressed down. I was almost hit broadside while crossing the highway. This is not the first time this has occurred. Multiple people in our household drive this vehicle and all have reported the same concern. I've asked about this every time I get routine maintenance but Honda dealership says it's working as designed and they've witnessed this issue in other customer reports. This is a significant safety risk! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2024 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | On January 18, 2024 I had the following recalls performed on 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite: Auto Idle Stop and the Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) communication coaxial cable. Immediately after the recall work was completed, I began receiving an error code "Collision Mitigation System Problem". The error code would flash after this sequence of events: After my car's engine has come to temperature and is warm. I come to a complete stop, my car goes into Idle Stop and when I release the brake to accelerate and the engine re-engages, this error flashes. And, I can continue to drive. Prior to this recall work, I had never received this error. In addition to this error code, on January 24, 2024, I was at a complete stop on a freeway offramp. When I released the brake and tried to accelerate, my car would not engage and very loud clunk, followed by the orange "Brake System" light flashed on. Eventually my car engaged and we were able to drive. The clunk was so loud my teenage children asked me if we were hit by another car. On, Friday January 25, 2024 after dropping the car off at the dealership we were told that "The diagnostics have revealed a 'defective Multipurpose Camera and AIM'. And, the cost to replace is $1793.77 plus tax. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | All safety systems which I had come to rely on failed all at once. Honda claims it’s the multi function camera that just randomly went bad. This affects safe driving. Condition Is ongoing | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | On June 2023, the driver side rear sliding door of my Honda Odyssey abruptly ceased functioning. Despite the infrequent use of this door—since I typically rely on the passenger side for dropping off my three children at school and activities—it is perplexing that the underused door has encountered such a critical malfunction. Given that our family of five heavily depends on this vehicle for transportation, the inability to utilize both doors has not only caused significant inconvenience but also raised substantial safety concerns. The driver side rear sliding door is currently sealed shut and attempts to open it manually have proven futile. It appears that the latching mechanism has completely failed, as the motor makes an audible attempt to open the door, yet no actual movement occurs. This issue has persisted for over six months, prompting ongoing communications with Norm Reeves Honda in West Covina and Honda's customer service team. According to the Honda report, it is suggested that the door may have been forced open. The estimated cost for potential repairs is $1,679.19, pending a proper assessment of the specific problem once access to the affected area is granted. The technician mentioned the necessity of breaking the paneling to reach the latches for replacement. Notably, this is my second Honda Odyssey, and two other family members also own Odysseys. Honda's van doors have a documented history of malfunctions, and it is disheartening to observe the lack of attention to this recurring issue. Moreover, the burden of the associated costs is unfairly placed on the customer. The prolonged delay in resolving this matter and the financial implications underscore a pressing need for Honda to address and rectify these door malfunctions promptly and responsibly. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | In early December 2023, while driving, I experienced a sudden malfunction in my LKAS system, receiving a notification that it had stopped working without any prior indications. In response, I promptly pulled over, turned off the vehicle, and restarted it, hoping to clear any error messages. Unfortunately, the issue persisted. Subsequently, I took my vehicle to the Honda service center, where I was informed that the front camera was malfunctioning, triggering multiple error messages such as collision system problems, auto high beam issues, and adaptive cruise control malfunctions—all of which rendered these safety features inoperable. The service center clarified that, while it was deemed safe to drive the vehicle, the automatic braking system and front camera features were unavailable, and any necessary repairs would be at my expense. The paperwork provided indicated the discovery of DTC U3000-49, citing a multipurpose camera unit/millimeter wave radar internal electronic failure. Additionally, beyond the LKAS system issue, I have repeatedly encountered difficulties with my vehicle's acceleration. Notably, there is a struggle to accelerate from a complete stop, and a significant delay in acceleration occurs when removing my foot from the gas pedal, especially in the middle of intersections. This delay has resulted in near collisions, with other vehicles honking and, at times, coming dangerously close to colliding with my vehicle. Despite reporting this ongoing acceleration problem to the dealer multiple times, the issue persists and has worsened over time. This comprehensive incident report aims to document and address the technical malfunctions in my vehicle, emphasizing the urgent need for a thorough examination and resolution of these safety concerns. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | STRUCTURE | Lift gate is malfunctioning. The lift gate opens but not all the way. It then bounces down and up attempting to open or close itself. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Over the years of owning this vehicle, we've encountered sporadic electrical problems that have led to the car either stalling or needing a jump start. Despite these issues, inspections of the battery have revealed no obvious problems. Additionally, we've had intermittent system warning messages for features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Departure. These warnings have surfaced and vanished on multiple occasions. The vehicle has never been in an accident or experienced anything beyond normal operating conditions. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | There has been no incident. And I hope there is not. But the forward camera that assists in the road departure mitigation, forward collision mitigation and lane keeping assist has failed. Also inoperative is the cruise control, auto dimming headlamps and the brake system light is on. I find it hard to believe that after some of the less critical recalls that have been sent out for this vehicle that they don’t address this very important safety system. The camera alone costs $800 and that doesn’t include the cost of installation and calibration. I have a family of six and we use this van extensively. But we cannot afford this repair and are forced to drive with all of these lights on in the instruments. We take extremely good care of our vehicles. It is serviced well and has been in no major accidents. Please help us get action for ourselves and others who are in danger | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I have not experienced a problem YET but a problem has been identified and a safety recall has been issued. A problem resulting in serious injury or death could occur while in traffic, but Honda has decided that it will delay replacing a potentially faulty part until I either have a problem or they have taken care of vehicles that have already experienced a problem. I tried to get an appointment but was told they could not request a part for my vehicle because I have not experienced a problem. Unacceptable. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | ENGINE | Basically, 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 inordinate amount of time. Likely only a second, but feels much longer when you're trying to make a left or right 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | POWER TRAIN | Vehicle will "neutral out" on acceleration and make a whizzing noise. This occurs every time we drive this vehicle. It loses a great deal of power when this happens and feels like it is never going to regain speed. Finally, after 5-10 seconds it goes back it to gear but not before you almost get rear ended | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE | A faulty body seam seal allowed rain to enter the body of the vehicle and infiltrate the power tailgate control module. On my vehicle, this produced the error message "Tailgate Problem". The tailgate would fail to open, open part way and then close, or attempt to open at random. There have been reports of tailgates opening while driving as a result of this problem. My dealer replaced the tailgate module and re-sealed the body seam where water was entering. This seam is where the top and side panels of the vehicle join near the driver's side tailgate hinge. This is a manufacturing defect in the body seam seal that is allowing this to happen. The problem has been extensively documented by vehicle owners at [XXX] This unsafe driving condition should be subject to a recall to prevent anyone's tailgate from opening unexpectedly while operating the vehicle, creating a hazardous condition for occupants or for other motorists who might be affected by items falling out of the rear tailgate.

| Jan 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE | Power tailgate began to malfunction first by opening slowly or not opening at all. Once open, would not close automatically. Would require a lot of manual force. Then, a "Power Tailgate Problem" error began to show on the dashboard. We took it to our local mechanic within about a week's time. They found the following 9 electrical codes: Power Tailgate Control Unit Internal Error Power Tailgate Right Touch / Pinch Sensor Circuit Malfunction Power Tailgate Left Touch / Pinch Sensor Circuit Malfunction Tailgate Closer Unit Half Latch Switch Circuit Malfunction Power Tailgate Sensor Pulse "A" Circuit Malfunction Power Tailgate Sensor Pulse "B" Circuit Malfunction Power Tailgate Drive Motor Circuit Malfunction Left Power Sliding Door Touch / Pinch Sensor Signal Error Left Power Sliding Door Touch / Pinch Sensor Signal Error They then found that the water was on/in the Power Liftgate Control Unit stemming from a leak somewhere in the body, probably around the D pillar. The Power Liftgate Control Unit will be replaced. The local mechanic recommended contacting Honda or a body shop to find the location where the water is entering the car. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
