See service Honda Service Bulletin 20-100 Dated 2-11-2021.The fuel Injectors part Number 16010 (6EA) has failed and my dashboard display, displays most of the sensors that means there is an actual problem, or a false reading. As a Honda owner, I cannot determine if it is an actual fault or a false reading. I had Rusty Wallace Honda dealer check the car using OBD device and the equipment indicates a code 219A, which indicates bad fuel injectors. Now after the check additional and different sensors are displayed with problems than were displayed prior to this check. The trouble shooting and after displaying the code 219A indicated a catastrophic failure. Rusty Wallace has verbalized the results and that I should continue driving the vehicle, that this would not damage the engine or the car. I am not a certified mechanic, but my younger days were devoted to back street work repairing and driving vehicles. Anytime that you starve or flood a cyclinder you had serious problems. I need this vehicle as a daily driver.

It is very common for the vehicle model to experience water intrusion toward the back lift gate because of rain. This can cause electric problems with the vehicle that can result in property damage or death. Airbags may not deploy due to water damage as well. Theses vehicles should be recalled as soon as possible. Most owner are not aware of this issue because they park vans in a garage. Please investigate this matter and issue a recall

My husband was driving our 2018 Honda Odyssey Van when he hit a deer and the airbags came out and my hearing was permanently damaged. I had taken a hearing test during the year before the accident and have hearing results after the accident. I have been told by two specialists that nothing can be done to repair the damage to my ears. It has been suggested that the air bags shouldn't have come out. Hitting the deer made a bad situation but the air bags coming out made a bad situation much worse. We had hit deer before and it never made the air bags come out which was absolutely not necessary in this situation. My leg was also cut and bruised by the air bag and I went to the emergency room for treatment.

The air bag light came up on 7/13/21 because according to the owner-??s manual this is a warning and it can be a tragically event. I was afraid that if an incident happened my family would be in danger. I took the van to the Honda dealer it has 59,000 miles and I was told the I need to replace passenger seat weight sensor assembly (seat rail with sensor) part #81201-THR-A01. I asked told them that this might be a manufacturer-??s problem because when I turn on the van the light was already on. I purchased the extended warranty and this vehicle was certified and we have to pay for the repair and labor. Because I was told this is not covered under any warranty which in my opinion since this is a safety feature should be covered.

The driver's side airbag, the driver's side curtain airbag, the passenger's side airbag, and the passenger's side curtain airbag (a total of 4 airbags) of the 2018 Honda Odyssey LX unnecessarily and dangerously deployed in a rear-end collision that did not did not cause side displacement or rollover of the vehicle. The front passenger's side airbag deployed with no passengers present in the vehicle, which could even have been a safety hazard if, for example, there were a child in the front passenger seat. This occurrence contradicts the airbag deployment conditions specified in the owner's guide, which state that that the aforementioned airbags should deploy in the case of side impact or rollover situations. This unnecessary and dangerous airbags deployment: A) increased the risk of a secondary collision by startling and distracting the driver at the exact time it was crucial to Focus and safely stop the vehicle, B) increased the accident-induced traumatic stress on the driver from the impact shock of the deployed airbags, and C) increased the cost of vehicle repair by necessitating the replacement of the needlessly deployed airbags, which is about 40% of the estimated total cost of repair. Reported the issue to the american Honda motor company, torrance, ca, however, they refused to investigate it. Please see the attached document for details.

"takata recall" second: Upon closing the rear sliding doors they became stuck in an open position. It took stopping and physically closing them to ensure they would close and lock. Upon research Honda has a recall for this brand new van for the sliding doors as well but failed to mention it during our recent service and complaint. The vehicle was parked and loading.
