Odyssey

  • miles
I have a 2019 Odyssey Elite and the following lights come on: Adaptive cruise control problem (ACC); Auto high-beam problem (A); Road departure mitigation system problem; collision mitigation system problem; lane keeping assist problem (LKAS); brake system lights. My problem is intermittent. I can make it go away most of the time by pouring water over the camera or spraying it from the windshield wipers fluid, then turning the car off and back on. That works sometimes. This makes me think it may be due to heat as the windshield (especially the black web lines around the camera) gets very hot. I also have noticed that at night or in cooler parts of the day the lights do not come on most of the time (have not kept a log of problem yet). One problem could be heat but cooling off with water does not always work. In that case, I lightly tap the camera case with a small rubber hammer (it is locate in front of my rear view mirror), turn the car off and back on, and the lights go out. Water plus tapping works and sometimes tapping alone works. This makes me theorize that the weather (heat in my case but I have seen other say it is cold due to snow) causes the cable/wiring within the camera to loosen (meaning weather [heat or cold] sensitive) cable connectors. Thus cooling with water and or light tapping fixes the problem until the next episode occurs. Who knows it could even be the windshield glass. As I said earlier, there is a black webbing type glass etching around the camera. Some say it is the battery, but I have yet to see a post where changing the battery fixed the problem. When the lights are off, all safety features (mitigation, adaptive cruise control, cruise control) work. I assume auto high beam and brakes system will work also. Forgot to add that when I turn the car off and back on, I have to press enter on the steering wheel a couple of times before the lights go off.

Odyssey

  • 80 miles
A brand new 2019 Honda Odyssey ex with 80 miles on it, started having trouble with vehicle's central display. Message network communication lost, even on slight moves while the car is on smooth freeways. Radio clicking static noise. Display unit turns off and on sporadically while the vehicle in motion or even sometimes when the vehicle is started from parking lot. Vehicle display goes blank completely. Cuts off back up camera, no radio, no bluetooth, no apps. As most of functions are controlled with touch screen feel like the vehicle is unsafe to operate. Dealer tried to fix it 2 times but now they blame Honda does not a solution yet. Raised a case (10281802) with Honda corporate but Honda refused to accept the problem and refused to give a loaner car and said its up to to dealer to give a loaner as a courtesy. I feel like I was sold a lemon. Both Honda corporate and Honda dealer is not to help me. Dealer says they cannot do anything. I feel the vehicle is not safe to drive with the central display unit which so critical to the vehicle's function. Worst part is radio clicking static noise cannot be controlled as the display is blank. All the above makes me frustrated that it happens on a new car and no one is helping me.

Odyssey

  • 2,500 miles
Since I purchased this vehicle the headlights dim way down and sometimes change intensity greatly every single time the A/C compressor clutch engages and draws current. All lighting across every system in the vehicle dims way down as well. That is, interior illumination, instrument console and panel, exterior marker lights. All lighting dims when the compressor clutch engages. The local dealership has tried a few things as instructed by the manufacturer but the situation has not been corrected. While out on freeways at night following behind other vehicles, the driver will become annoyed in front thinking that I am purposefully flickering or flashing the headlights to encourage them to speed up or move out of the way. This can cause a dangerous situation. This situation has been present since the vehicle was purchased in November 2018 and remains.
