The car has a system to warn the driver to brake due to an oncoming vehicle. The system shows brake in large orange letters on the instrument panel. This system malfunctions. If the car is in motion, going around a gradual turn to the right, typically on a two-lane road, it often warns of oncoming traffic in the other lane by shouting brake in the orange letters. The oncoming traffic is never in fact a danger. That traffic is simply making a gradual left turn in its own lane. By contrast, today (due to utility work) there was traffic coming directly at me on a two-lane road while I was in motion in my own lane--and the car said nothing. In my opinion, this so-called warning system is defective and unreliable. I asked our dealer about it but they said there was nothing they could do. (this problem of the brake warning has occurred many times, it is by no means confined to today's date.)

The infotainment system started shutting down and crackling started in the speakers when the car was 3 weeks old. The bluetooth option and apple car play are completely unusable due to the crackling. They stop working approximately 30 seconds into use. No sound. The entire system will shut down randomly, stating no network communication and radio unavailable beforehand. The dealership has refused to replace any parts, including the radio harnesses, which are the main suspects for the crackling. Crackling sound worsens during turns.

We recently purchased the new 2019 Honda odessey and then found out that there is no way to manually move the transmission into neutral (or any position other than park) if the engine or battery dies. This is a huge safety issue. The local Honda dealership said that Honda was aware of the issue and working on a fix, but recommended if we needed to get towed to put dish soap under the tires to be dragged onto the tow truck. Meanwhile though, while waiting for a tow, the broken down car could potentially be in the middle of the road with no flashers if the battery is dead and no way for police or anyone else to put the car in neutral and roll it to safety on the side of the road. I filed a complaint with Honda, and they said they have received multiple complaints about this, but they are not working on a fix and it is 'just how the car is designed'. they said that they 'think' there is a special tool that only their aaa roadside assistants have that might be able to manually override, but the local dealership was not aware of any such tool, and any other tow truck drivers would not have this supposed tool. Given that this is a safety issue, I found that answer unacceptable and am hoping your regulatory Agency can intervene to prompt action to fix this issue. The old 2018 model and others always had a manual override option, and the 2019 version needs to have that same option for safety, in case of emergency.

2019 Honda oddesay battery died on us at 2960 miles! after my wife and my two babies, drove the car for almost 45 min. Went to the zoo and came back 4 hours later only to find the car battery dead! 4/7/19, 4:45 pm! called Honda road assistant and when finally arrived at 5:20 pm he had a hard time clamping his portable battery pack into the car battery due to limited space around those battery terminal connections. He had to hold the claps manually in place! so even if I had was there and had a portable battery I couldn't start up the cars since it was impossible to clamps to battery terminals securely and jump inside to push the ignition key!

Was driving on a rural highway at about 55mph on a sunny mild day when my sunroof exploded. No other cars, trees or overpasses present. The sunroof exploded outward like it had been shot from inside the car. Sounded like a huge explosion. We had 7 people in my van including 5 children. Luckily the screen was shut or glass would've rained down on all of us. Was so startling we could've easily lost control of the car as well but luckily we didn't.
