2022 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

The glass of the sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving down the highway. It made an explosion sound and dropped shards of glass all over myself and my child. I am in the process of finding replacement glass for the vehicle. It is less than a year old, and the dealer does not have replacement parts nor does it know when they can get one. There were no warnings before this happened. The vehicle has never had any damage and is stored in an interior garage. The damage happened at 55 degrees on a dry overcast day in Nashville, TN.

We purchased a 2022 Honda Odyssey EXL and shortly after purchasing it the driver's rear door sliding door stopped unlocking and it won't lock if it's unlocked. This prevents the ability to lock the door using the remote locking feature it also prevents fueling the vehicle if the lock is unlocked because the fuel door will not open if the door is unlocked. We took the vehicle in August 26th 2022 to Honda dealership and the dealership tested the lock switch and it still didn't work so they said that it could be the BCM and that has been on back order since August it is currently January 6th 2023.

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.

Warped rotors causing violent shaking of the steering wheel in fast braking. Had dealership turn rotors and fixed the problem for a couple days but the rotors started acting up again after a couple days.

My power sunroof busted randomly while driving. Thank goodness I had it closed underneath me or else the glass would have fallen on me. 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.

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.

However, the failure had reoccurred several times while there were no other vehicles or objects around the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated while her son was attempting to exit the vehicle through the driver's side rear sliding door, he pressed the door lock button; however, the door did not fully open fully and closed abruptly on his left hand. The contact's son was taken to the hospital where it was diagnosed that he sustained severe pain, laceration, and swollenness on his left hand. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and advised the contact that they would arrange for a field technician to inspect the vehicle; however, the vehicle was not inspected. The contact followed up with the manufacturer. A case was opened. The manufacturer advised the contact to acquire a vehicle rental while the inspection was being completed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 950.

I was driving on the highway with no cars or obstacles in front of me. The car auto brakes for me. If not because there were no car behind me, I would have been smashed by the car in the back. This have happen twice now!
