Tailgate issue. Unable to open the automatic tailgate door. Quick search on the internet showed this is a common problem, yet it is not part of the recall and customers are expected to pay out of pocket. This appears to be either quality control issue or bad design. This should be a recall fix.

I've a recall 2019 Odyssey Fuel Pump Mtr Saf Recall Exp1 related to my Honda Odyssey. I can't start my vehicle on 09/10/2024, which I have paid $1200 for the delear to repair. I highly suspect that the reason that I can't start my engine is because of this recall, as "can't start the engine" is one of the symptom. To date, I still have trouble getting this recall repair at Honda authorized dealer, as they are running out of parts.

My odyssey will intermittently refuse to respond to pressure on the accelerator. If I push the pedal to quickly gain speed, from stopping, it will lag for 2-3 seconds before suddenly leaping forward and squealing my tires. This is very unsafe because it has caused me to be in several near collisions. The dealer confirms that other customers have experienced this issue, but Honda has not made a diagnosis or fix available. I have experienced this problem intermittently for several years, beginning around 50,000 miles, and my husband has also noticed it. All maintenance is current, and we have had the fuel system cleaned to try to fix it.

The following message suddenly appeared one day and since then, they kept coming back on every time starting the car: ACC problem, Collision Mitigation Problem, Lake Keep Assist Problem, Auto High Beam Problem, Brake Problem, and sometimes Transmission Problem as well. After research online, many other owners of the same vehicle had the same issue and which may be caused by faulty connector or faulty front camera component for the hardware issue; or software issue which was on the previous recall for the multi-media issue on the Odysseys. There is a HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 18-006 for the 2017-2018 CR-V models of the same issue/symptoms: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The transmission stalls and does not shift into gear from an idol. When this happens, it is a safety issue that creates a 2 - 5 second lag in acceleration, then a lurch forward as the RPMs rev and the vehicle finally shifts into gear. This is a known problem to Honda through multiple complaints filed with them, and is a commonly known and discussed problem on many online forums. The first time we took it into Honda they denied that there was any issue, charged us for a transmission diagnosis, and were very dismissive towards my wife. When i called to inquire about this issue several months later to set up a subsequent appointment, the service coordinator informed me that this issue is known to Honda but they will do nothing to remedy the problem because there is nothing -??physically wrong-?? with the transmission. He went on and on about how I needed to file complaints in order to pressure Honda to do something about this because it is dangerous and he personally knew of other vehicles with the 9-speed transmission that had been involved in accidents because they could not accelerate in intersections. He emphasized that Honda WILL NOT FIX the problem. Not only is this awful customer service, but it is putting my family-??s lives at risk. There have been several close calls for my wife when trying to turn left across oncoming traffic, merging into moving traffic, and navigating in smaller spaces. The transmission does not shift into gear for several seconds when trying to accelerate from a stop or from a rolling idol. It is dangerous to us and other drivers on the road. This is a known issue to Honda. They refuse to do anything about it.

While driving my car I have felt it stalling at take off or while slowing down and trying to resume speeds. I cannot fill my gas tank up fully, and now my car will not start. We researched and found that we can tap the fuel relay under the steering wheel to start the car. We-??ve taken the car in to the dealership and they will not even check the fuel pump recall because they do not have the parts. They tell me my battery is bad. But when we take the battery to replace it is good. I am now without a working vehicle because the dealership will not resolve the issue of the recall.

5 warning lights on dashboard for lane keeping assist, auto high bean, automatic breaking, collision mitigation and adaptive cruise control. Honda is saying it is the front sensing camera which is disabling these safety features. None of these features are working.

The camera system intermittently was cutting out. After researching it is apparently a known issue. I took it to my mechanic and what is "common" is a loose wire. This is not the case with my vehicle. It is a broken wire connection. Therefore neither my camera display or hands-free communication system work, they have no power.

I have a 2019 Honda Odyssey. I have been having trouble with my transmission for quite some time. The car pauses when I try to accelerate. I took it to a Honda service center in when the car was 4 years old. They plugged it into the electronic system for an update and to look for problems. The entire system crashed. Which required me to replace the entire transmission control module. Even after this, I am still having trouble with the car pausing when I try to accelerate, which can be unnerving. My 15 year old has his learner's permit and is very nervous while driving my car. We have had some close calls.

Hello. My Honda odyssey has a major safety issue. Three times now the rear hatch has failed. When this happens an alarm goes off and the door locks shut. Then, randomly and shortly after, the rear hatch unlocks. There is nothing locking the door when this happens. Two out of the three times I have been driving the car when the rear hatch unlatched and one is the three times I have had my three children in the car. Thank god no one was hurt or killed. Because there is nothing stopping items from falling out of the car causing an accident while driving. I have now paid two have this fixed twice at 1k each occurs. Despite me having purchased a warranty this is according to Honda caused by -??water damage-??. Well all over the Internet and forums there are people complaining about this with a class action law suit being investigated. The water damage is caused by improper sealing and assembly causing corrosion and the electrical failure. And then the worst part is, the hatch sticks open and the door is unlocked and not latched while driving! I have reached out to Honda directly over and over siting this obvious safety risk and saying that someone is going to get killed and there needs to be a recall. Again I can not emphasize enough how unsafe this is. I do not feel safe driving my children in this car or driving the car for that matter because the rear hatch could open at any time. I am disappointed in the lack of response by Honda and the dealership. I have spent thousands of dollars on repairing this manufacturers defect. I hope that someone can help make this matter important before someone is hurt. Honda needs to be accountable for their issue.

It is very common problem with 2018-2023 honda odyssey. Water leaks inside from the seam crack under roof drip trim. This water is dripping right on the tailgate control electronic module. And module is short circuit and dead. Now tailgate is either stays locked or stays open all the time as the latch is not operating at all. This is safety issue as if tail gate is not latched properly it can be open while driving on the road. Also with water leaking inside in trunk area it's a issue with growing mold under the carpet. It shows error message on instrument panel about trouble with tailgate system.

My vehicle would say mitigation control system failure, and would flutter by turning off and back on and making the vehicle in operable for a few seconds while in motion. Also, would have a transmission gauge issue and would make the car inoperable, and wouldn-??t move at all, would only turn on and would function like the radio, lights, etc.

While driving down the interstate going between 55-60 mph van began to downshift and rpm-??s started rising but gas pedal didn-??t accelerate. Then the next day I got stranded on a highway because the van locked into neutral before I could pull into a parking lot because of traffic, then it finally went into park(we were trying to get it back in drive obviously). I was stuck blocking traffic for almost an hour with 3 kids and an infant in the car. Finally, restarting it several times worked and i was able to pull in and wait for a tow truck. This almost happened on the interstate. Someone is going to be seriously injured or worse because we almost were. Honda I supposed to be known for safety but right now, I may just switch to Toyota because apparently this issue is known and they just don-??t care enough about their customers to recall and fix it.

My 2019 Honda Odyssey has had issues with engine hesitation since purchase, but have worsened in the last year to the point that I am concerned I will be in an accident. When creeping forward at a lower speed (5-8mph) to make a turn, the engine hesitates for several seconds, delaying my ability to turn and causing me to then turn seconds before another car is approaching me. I am in a Honda facebook group and many people report similar issues without any fix. I have taken my car to the dealership and they do not see any issues. I recently had my fuel pump recall done (I basically had to beg the dealership to do it despite them telling me Honda is short on supplies), and the issue is still present. The issue is worse in colder weather. I drive with 3 kids in the backseat. This issue needs to be addressed.

The power tailgate would open, then after opening, the tailgate may slowly sag down. Then it automatically closes within seconds. When going down to close, it beeps loudly.
