On June 16, 2023 When I got in my van and turned on, about 8 different system failure lights started singing and light up across my dashboard. I proceeded to drive it and it drove fine most of the time but then it would misfire or loose power. I took to a mechanic who plugged unit to read all the codes it was displaying. The ones that showed were P0300-P0306 and P219B. The mechanic pulled up and saw an extended warranty from Honda had been issued for my type of van, 2019 Honda Odyssey Touring. I called Honda to make appt to get fixed and was told that my VIN wasn-??t included in the extended warranty. My van is displaying the exact issues the extended warranty covers and is clearly in need of the corrective actions listed by Honda. My gas mileage has been greatly affected and my and my children-??s safety. When driving it will loose power and become very jumpy. When it looses power, there are times I-??m going 50-60 mph and it-??s dangerous because I suddenly drop speed and could potentially be hit. There have been codes in the past that have come on and when checked they signified dirty fuel injectors and cylinder misfires. The warning messages would go off just as randomly as they appeared. This time it-??s different and the lights have stayed on. I am pleading with NHTSA to please consider including my VIN/van in a safety recall. This is an issue that Honda should address to all 2018-2019 Honda Odysseys and not just the few it knows about. The fuel injector machining process is clogging the inside of the injectors. Honda knows this. It-??s dangerous to those of us who purchased their vehicles.

On 7/24/2023, my 2019 Honda Odyssey hesitated on start but did eventually start after a 5- second delay. After 6 miles on road, the car began to hesitate, choked, decelerate on its own even with foot on gas petal, and finally won't move an inch. The following warning lights were triggered: Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Emissions System Problem, Power Steering System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, and also To Start Engine: Brake + Push. The 2019 Honda Odyssey was towed to the Honda Dealer near me. They kept the car overnight and it stalled and died on them too. The dealer said the fuel pump needs to be replaced. I collected my memory and recall the car has experienced jerky moments at times lately. This strike me as a prematurely dead fuel pump as fuel pumps are designed to last at least 100,000 miles of the life of the car. I found out that there was a fuel pump recall in 2021 but I did not receive any notification. With a prematurely dead fuel pump and my experience, I believe this car should be part of the recall as the defect may be more widespread, affecting more than just what the Honda manufacturer has recalled. Furthermore, this is my third Honda, but this has brought many problems causing me to have called AAA 4-5 times so far and towed twice in the last couple of years.

Van just randomly wouldn't start, has nothing to do with battery. I was told it was the fuel pump, saw a recall for fuel pump. Looked up to see if my vehicle was under the recall, but it said it wasn't.

My 2019 Honda Odyssey regularly hesitates from the stopped position or when quick acceleration is needed on the highway. This causes a safety hazard when making turns into traffic because I am not able to accelerate for approximately 1 second before I am able to increase speed. It is a known mechanical defect with Honda and they do not currently have a resolution. I reported this problem to my dealership and was told that this is "just how the Honda 9-speed transmissions are designed" and there is no fix. Not only does this cause performance issues, there have been several close calls when I have made a turn into traffic and when I have had to accelerate to make a lane change on the freeway.

Our approximately 50,000 mile Odyssey died while driving on Mar 25, 2023. Thankfully the vehicle was only going about 10 MPH as I was pulling up to a stop sign. First failure notice was -??emissions system problem-?? and then every error available to the system flashed after that. Would not restart. Towed to dealer and found no fuel pressure and fuel pump failure. I was never given notice of the fuel pump recall and this website says all my recalls are complete. Clearly there was an issue with the fuel pump. The replacement fuel pump is on back order with no ETA for availability. Vehicle has sat at the dealer for 4 weeks with no estimate for when it will be available for us. I speculate that Honda hasn-??t told everyone about the fuel pump recall in the hopes that the pumps don-??t disintegrate in the tanks while driving because they mismanaged their supply chain. Could be months before a -??like-new-?? vehicle is drivable again.

Several times when I ja e pushed the gas to try and hurry to go the van will stall and won't go almost cause me to get in an accident each time. The last time(1/16) I actually had passengers in my van and it scared the crap out of them and me. It seems like when I punch the gas pedal it isn't getting the gas to go right away. I had it checked out at a Honda dealership but they said the van didn't do what I was explaining. It doesn't do it all the time, however if it wasn't for the grace of God and me having a quick reaction to hit my brake after the van hesitates to go, I and some other people either wouldn't be alive right now or would be severely injured.

The low pressure fuel pump has failed. Honda has issued recall #21V215000 in March of 2021 regarding this issue on almost a million vehicles. My vehicle has failed, leaving me without transportation in the winter. Thankfully the car just failed to restart and I wasn't in traffic but this could absolutely happen to others (as described in the recall) so it is apparent that Honda was not genuine in their attempt to fix this problem as there are obviously other models in the year & model range they recalled that are being exempted from the recall that are destined to fail.

Our car has failed to start 3 times in one week. Our battery has been throughly inspected and nothing appears to be wrong with it. We have jump-started our car in July, and twice this week. (Once yesterday and once today.) We are not sure why this is the case.

Braun wheelchair conversion on 2019 Honda Odyssey. Gas overflows from below due to gas line in fuel tank. Fuel tank replaced on Honda by braun, braun hand builds the defective tank. Fire department had to come because of all the gas overflowing under van. I had filled the gas tank night before, 12-16 hours later while parked in my drive way gas was leaking onto driveway at least 2 gallons. Looked like a slow drip that time I saw it was a spewing faucet. I had van towed to Honda dealership but was transferred to braun dealership. Braun is going to make another fuel tank after Jan 6 in Indiana then ship to lubbock Texas end of Jan, early Feb. Same set up ! I don't want this unsafe van that may again spew gas and high risk for explosion or fire.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. While driving various speeds, the contact noticed a strong fuel odor inside the cabin of the vehicle through the vents. When the failure occurred, the odor was detected for 72 hours. The contact also mentioned that the phone charger port in the rear of the vehicle overheated and caused the cell phone to also overheat. The vehicle was taken to Honda West (7615 w sahara ave, las vegas, nv 89117, (800) 249-9504) where the contact was informed that the failure was a known issue, but the cause of the failure was unknown. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 13,658.

Car has under 7000 miles. Engine struggles with power in lower gears. There is also a jump when shifting from reverse to forward. The jump feel like a transmission gear transfer issue. Today as an example, when departing from a traffic light, I had to fully compress the gas pedal to get the engine to respond. In general, the lower gears feel sluggish and this has been the case since purchase. The engine simply sounds different than any of our previous Honda Odyssey's. at higher speeds, on a highway, the engine is responsive. We're in a do loop with mechanics as the problem is not always repeatable. Hope this helps if you start seeing trends.

Van randomly slammed on the brakes, with nobody in front of me, while I was going 75mph on the highway. Van will sporadically not accelerate when pressing gas pedal, then slowing start to move but not fast enough to pull into traffic on city street, causing me to almost be T-boned 5 times then decide to start rapidly accelerate and make me fish tail. After putting vehicle in park, it rolls 6"-12" (depending on incline). Too many tech issues to list (rear backup camera stops working while in use, audio will turn off an not turn back on while driving, navigation has been "loading" for months, etc)

Odyssey

  • 5,000 miles
Upon startup of the vehicle, a strong burning smell was sensed. The vehicle was briefly put into a slow reverse to take it out of the garage and a very rough idle started, black smoke appeared out of the tail pipe and every possible error message appeared one after the other on the dash. The vehicle was then briefly put into drive for a couple inches forward back into the garage with very little power on acceleration and an even stronger burning smell. The dealer was contacted and advised having the car towed in to be evaluated. Upon evaluation the dealer advised that the issue was a leaking fuel injector caused by a faulty fuel rail design from the factory. The injector leak caused too much fuel to be put into the cylinder causing the spark plugs to fowl out. The dealer stated Honda was aware of the issue also in 2018 models and they assumed they would have corrected the fuel rail design for the 2019 model. The dealer then advised that they could not make any repair until the redesigned fuel rail was released a month from now. The vehicle was purchased new 2 months ago and currently has apx 5,000 miles. The fact that this was caused by an error in the fuel rail design from the factory indicates the problem likely has been causing damage and posing a safety risk of possible engine fire from the leaking fuel injector the entire 5,000 miles of ownership. Also, it is unknown how the leak may affect the engine in the future due to the leak and design flaw persisting since it was sold new from the factory.
