2022 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

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.

Car randomly auto brakes for no reason. Sometimes when other car is parked in lane to the immediate left or across median. This has happened in multiple occasions.

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.

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.

i own a honda odyssey elite 2022. for no reason the GPS and Radio screen in the vehicle went out while i am driving. i spoke to MS. Priecilla on 8/1/2022 working in America Honda Motor in Torran, California addrising her the setuation of the vehicle after i Googled it, and fuond that this problem is in all the pilote and odyssey vehicles since 2019. i asked her if she is aware of this problem she said no, and this is the first time she here something like that. I told her to google it because this problem is there since 2019 and the honda dealer is not taking of this issue since 2019. i opened a case with honda dealer in california and the case # 131-784-33. saturday the 8/6/2022 i am gonna take to woodhaven dealer in new york to check the problem and check why the screen go out. it is a very important to check that safty of the cars made by honda. send all owner of this models a note or advice what to do if they have same issues. also this days all cars are computerized and any thing wrong in the computer might put the drivers and passangers in danger if they didnot take care of it from the manifacture to help the owner and driver of the honda. thanks, M. Dalia

With nothing in front of me in my lane, the vehicle slammed on the brakes and I was almost rear-ended. I heard the squeal of brakes as the person behind me avoided hitting me.

Problem: While driving on the interstate (in a construction zone with no shoulders), and with no prior indications the van gave numerous alerts to include blind spot monitoring and transmission service. The gear indicator on the dash (“D”) began flashing. I had zero throttle response and began coasting. I was able to gain some forward response by cycling between sport mode and drive while fluttered the gas pedal to match when the gear indicator would flash. If I miss timed it, the engine would rev as if it was in neutral. Using this method, I was only able to maintain 40 MPH. Luckily the next available exit had a Honda dealership and I was able to limp the van into the service department. Safety concern: Without the quick troubleshooting to at least maintain speed for a viable exit/shoulder, the van would of stopped on a very busy interstate that has average speeds of 75+ MPH. It would have surely caused an accident that could of led to serious injuries or death. Diagnosis: Numerous service techs came out to look at the van since I pulled in with my hazards on. At least 2 stated they had seen the problem previously on 2022+ Odyssey’s and to expect it to need a full transmission replacement. Service advisor is suppose to call on Monday with more details and I will update here accordingly. Other information: 13.5k miles on the vehicle and no major mechanical issues prior to this event. Vehicle is regularly serviced at a Honda dealership.

The car was purchased new, and wasn’t even a year old. We were driving on the highway and all the sudden the engine revved. The car would no longer accelerate. We were able to pull off the highway safely but the car would not accelerate more than a few miles per hour. There were no warning lights or indications of an issue with the car. The car was towed to Honda and a new transmission was installed.

Passenger side, sliding door. The door closes on its own randomly but becoming more frequent. I have taken the van to the dealer multiple times and they can not figure out what is wrong. There was no warning light or error shown. Today the door shut on my son’s foot as he was getting in the car. The door fully closed and pinned his foot causing him great pain. He could not twist to open the door and free himself. The door did not safety bump open (as it should have if anything was in the way of closing) It was not until I heard his screams of pain that I ran to his side of the car and opened the door, freeing him. I have attached the photo of his foot.

Was watching news on other Honda models and the emergency break system going off erroneously. This has happened with my car as well. It doesnt appear breaks will engage but the light will flash indicating to break even though there are no cars or objects in front of me. I have not had it inspected and waiting for first oil change to do so.
