2020 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

Honda 36160-THR-A81 Camera Monocular for 2019 Honda Odyssey 36160THRA81 Honda Sensing Camera Monocular system failed giving ACC- Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, LKAS - Lane Keep Asset Problem, Collision Mitigation Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Auto High-Beam Problem, Brake System light on.

Front windshield camera, controls adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure mitigation, front collision mitigation, auto high beam, all the lights came on and all the features stopped working. We were 1500 miles from home when this happened had it repaired at a dealership $1300. I called Honda corporate and after 2 days a customer service representative called me back. He told me the vehicle was 2500 miles out of warranty and it's a car and cars are going to break down. That I should drive it back home and have the dealership repair it and they might be able to help with some kind of reimbursement. I did not want to drive it that far without all the systems functioning so he said well that's on me.

When at a stop light at a busy intersection the idle stop feature would not restart the engine. The vehicle became stalled in the middle of traffic and I could not restart the vehicle for approximately 8 minutes. A transmission failure warning came on the screen and I was unable to operate anything in the vehicle. This could have caused me to be hit by oncoming traffic or rear ended. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer and they were unable to reproduce the problem. This has happened a total of 3 times within the last 3 months.

The following errors suddenly appeared one-at-a-time, causing all the advanced driver assistance capabilities to stop working, including regular cruise control: * ACC - Adaptive Cruise Control Problem * LKAS - Lane Keeping Assist Problem * Collision Mitigation System Problem * Road Departure Mitigation System Problem * Auto High-Beam Problem * Brake System light also appeared. Battery replacement did not fix issue. Errors usually appear within about 30-60 seconds of turning the car on, but errors occasionally go in and out intermittently. Lights come on with a distracting beep one-at-a-time, causing major distractions while driving and suddenly disabling any active cruise and/or LKAS features while driving in traffic. Dealer stated the windshield mounted LKAS camera needs to be replaced for $1592 + tax. Safety features should not be flaky, and customers should not bear the cost of repairing safety equipment such as this. This should be strongly considered for a recall.

I purchased my 2020 Honda Odyssey 3 months ago. We did notice that part number 72650-THR-A12 the rear door latch was carroded. The dealer had told me not to be concerned. Well I have been unable to drive my vehicle because I am waiting for that part which is on national backorder. The incident happened two weeks ago my sliding door opened while driving with my kids in the car. I had to pull over to try to close it I thought it was a fluke. Turns out I couldn't get it to stay closed. I had to drive it back home with the warning lights that my door is open. I can't get it to close at all or lock the vehicle while driving. There should be no reason why the inside of my door is all rusted and carroded. Not sure how water is getting in there. This leads to a failed door latch which then leads to the sliding door malfunction. The part is on backorder which makes me think that there are many other people experiencing the same problem.

Vehicle’s “Engine Idle Stop” feature malfunctions unless it is turned off manually. This is an energy conservation feature which turns off the engine when stopped. However, when lifting the brake, the engine does not turn back on at times, sometimes fully stalling the vehicle. At times, numerous lights have come onto the dashboard after this happens. At other times, the vehicle has completely turned off, leaving the safety of the driver and passengers at risk, particularly at stop lights, stop signs, and when in stop and go traffic. I’m continually worried someone is going to rear-end us when they see our brake light go off at an intersection. Vehicle has been brought to Honda dealership who stated they did not know the cause and replaced the battery. Problem was not solved and continues to happen.

There is a distracting static coming out of the speakers. sounds like popping and crackling.

While driving down the interstate the van went in Neutral and a message appeared on the screen that it was in Neutral, pull over when it is safe. The lights on the dash dimmed and no other message or warnings appeared. As I pulled off the interstate I was unable to use the brakes. We tried to put the van back in Drive but was not successful. We were able to get the vehicle in park and come to a stop. I turned it off and back on. No other messages appeared. The vehicle drove as expected and brakes worked.

The contact owned a 2020 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart. As a result, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact’s vehicle. The contact sustained injury to her neck and lower back that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot and deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,800.

The vehicle is currenting having an issue with the MOST feature which is causing a static sound coming from the speakers as well as the DVD/CD player not working at all. Once in a while when idling with brake on the vehicle will shut and down and restart on its on quickly. When this happens multiple warnings will appear on the dashes warning system. Some of these warnings are mitigation collision warning, cruise control, and low power.
