Our van regularly hesitates when to accelerate from a stop. Example, when turning right on red pushing the gas pedal will provide some speed to get into the roadway, then it becomes unresponsive. Letting up and pushing the accelerator will cause the van to move again after about.5 to 1 seconds. Often the accelerator has to be pushed all the way to the floor, which causes the van to move aggressively once it does start to respond causing the tires to spin out. While the performance issue is annoying, this becomes a safety issue when stranded out in traffic.

This vehicle (2018 Honda Odyssey) hesitates when acceleration is attempted after braking. This makes left turns in front of oncoming traffic particularly dangerous. The problem has been widely discussed on Honda/Odyssey online forums. Honda apparently has not acknowledged the problem or warned owners about it. I just missed getting hit with a car full of kids due to acceleration hesitation.

Part is saying it is discontinued and is on backorder. Honda dealer is the one who diagnosed the problem. No warning no check engine light

On at least 3 occasions, the "Auto Engine Idle Stop" has caused my vehicle to completely die while stopped at a stop light. When the car shuts off/dies, the system prompts you to shift the car in park and restart the car, but on these occasions, the car did not start, leaving me stalled in active traffic. I felt very unsafe to be stalled with no way to operate the vehicle. The dealership checked the battery to ensure it wasn't a battery issue and found it to be completely fine. At the time we did not realize that it could be a problem with the Auto Engine Idle Stop feature, otherwise we would've had them check that system specifically. Further research from other customer forums online prompted us to turn this feature off, but we have to do that every time we start the car. There is no way for us to turn it off permanently. The car gives you no warning that this will happen. When you remove your foot from the break to resume driving, the car shuts off without immediately restarting, leaving you stranded. I am hoping that Honda will issue a recall on affected models. At this point they aren't offering any help other than to tell us to turn it off, but you have to remember to do that every time you start your vehicle.

Auto restart feature when enabled did not restart vehicle after coming to a stop at stoplight on multiple occasions in the last few months rendering vehicle unable to proceed. We recently saw news article about same issue with Pilots.

Merging from west bound I-40 to south bound I-15, there was a slight incline. I accelerated to merge and change lane from 4 to 3, the van suddenly lost power. Engine was running and I could hear it rev up but transmission seemed to not have engaged. The car decelerated to almost 50 mph forcing me to move back to lane 4 in order to avoid being hit by an incoming 18-wheeler. It's most likely an transmission issue of old with Honda. The vehicle regained power after I let go of gas pedal for about 4-5 seconds. It happened again on I-40 near Flagstaff at high speed on my way home to Dallas from SoCal on Jan 2nd. To lose available power to wheels at high rate of speed, it's surely a safety hazzard. I don't feel safe to allow my wife to drive the vehicle. Please help investigate.

Strong odor of gasoline. Gas leaking on to the engine by either the high pressure fuel pump or fuel injectors. Fuel injectors were purported replaced in April of 2021.

When making left or right turns from completed stops, the car some time hesitates to move or to speed up for short 2-3 seconds. This could cause accident between my car and in coming trafic.

There is a chirping coming from the engine area with the engine warmed up AND NOW IS RATTLING UNDER NEATH THE VAN

- Heath, TX, USA

The fuel pipe set, fuel joint connecting the high pressure fuel pump to fuel rail was leaking gasoline. When the car is stopped at a light, the gas vapor would be evident around the front of the car and be pulled into the cabin through the vents when not in recirculation mode. The gasoline vapor odor were clearly evident when walking, standing outside the front of the vehicle. The car could have caught fire with leaking fuel from top of the engine. There were no prior engine repairs done to the vehicle, thus a factory defect. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. This leak first occurred during a long 7 hour road trip. Dealer confirmed leak and replaced defective pipe set, fuel joint. Saved defective part.

All warning lights popped up and continued to cycle through when I was driving causing the vehicle to go into a safety/limp mode. Shifting became very difficult and the maximum speed topped out at 45mph.

All warning lights popped up when I was driving causing the vehicle to go into a safety mode. Took it to the dealership and had to replace the fuel injectors on a fairly new van!

The 2018 Odyssey has many problems on the fuel injectors system that caused all checking engines lights on. The costs to repair is too expensive. Costs me $1650 at my local Honda dealer

- Garden Grove, CA, USA

All my alerts came on when I started my vehicle this morning. A few weeks ago, the emission light came on - Honda told me to come back if it doesn't turn off in a week. Thought gas tank/new gas issue. Then all alerts came on today. Honda diagnosed as a issue with fuel injectors. Out of warranty. $2,500.

- Bristol, WI, USA

Entire dash turned off while driving including speedometer and information screen-replaced radiohead. All warning lights came on while driving-replaced fuel injectors. Popcorn sound and warning light came on while driving after picking up car from getting fuel injectors replaced-stating it's a bad rear entertainment system. I bought my car 1 year ago and it's obviously flawed.

2018 Honda Odyssey was purchased 3/16/2018 at West Honda dealership located in las vegas. Not long after purchase, strong fuel, and similar chemical odor appeared, odor came out of the air vents directly. The odor is so strong that the vehicle would smell chemical and smoky for days. Odor always appeared during driving, the level of strongness caused nausea, cough, and headache. Addressed the issue to 2 different dealerships, with the mention of health concern and fire risk during driving. Both dealerships' service advisors verified the issue verbally, did diagnosis in 3 out of 4 total visits. Could not find the issue while odor presenting in the car; thus, no repair was done to fix the issue. Reports are collected, filed a complaint to the headquarter. Case manager admitted there is something wrong with the vehicle as similar cases with the same type of vehicle are heard from the same area. Being told that no inspection can be done without odor appears again and ignored the previous visits' results.

While traveling on city streets for 2 hours and 1 hour high way driving, during the middle part of the day for two days straight 6/21/18 and 6/22/18, the inside cabin of the van filled with a very strong smell of gaseous fumes. The overwhelming fumes lasted for approximately 3 hours on both days. Also leaving fumes in the car overnight which were detected as we entered the car the next day around 9:30 a.M. I took the car to Honda auto nation in las vegas at 10:45 am. On 6/23/18. After two hours they notified me that there were no problems with the car. I was adamant in refusing to believe that there was not a problem and that my families life was not in danger. I was taken to two of the dealership's managers and was told by them that this is normal for the inside of the car to fill up with fumes on hot days and that I would just have to deal with it since the car filters the fumes to the front engine and then into the vehicles cabin. They told me that it was a government regulation that fumes not be transmitted to the environment but rather to the inside of the car, but first through filters. I have never experienced this before in my 30 years of driving new vehicles. I have just recently viewed information over the internet that there is a Honda CRV lawsuit for their 2015-2017 vehicles pertaining specifically to gaseous fumes from gasoline. I am terrified to use this vehicle. Not only did we have to endure the fumes for hours, but I am worried that our safety is at stake due to an explosion and or asphyxiation.

1. ) fuel efficiency is not as reported; it is several mpgs lower under all conditions (highway/city). 2.) safety sensor to alert for pedestrians on sides/front do not work properly. Even service rep at dealership said she has had other reports of it not functioning properly and the sensors/system may need to be 'reset'. it is incredibly dangerous to think these systems can fail without any warning message or notice. Car was at a stop and as it started moving forward, a pedestrian came from the right front and was nearly hit. There were no advance warnings, audio/visual to alert the driver. Also after checking with a friend, we could not trigger the alert walking from right to left (from side to front) of vehicle. No accident occurred, thankfully, but people need to know these systems fail and need to be checked to notify of oncoming pedestrians/bikers/vehicles. I bought this expensive vehicle because it had 'sensors' and thought it would be far safer according to sales guy. Not the case. The public is being misled.
