Honda Odyssey 2019 — Reported problems

The power sliding driver-side (left rear) door latch assembly on my 2019 Honda Odyssey has experienced a complete mechanical and electrical failure. There were absolutely no warning signs, dashboard lamps, or messages prior to the door suddenly malfunctioning. The built-in closer motor now completely fails to cinch or suction the door shut, preventing it from securing safely into the vehicle frame and triggering a persistent error message on the dashboard after the failure occurred. This creates an immediate, severe safety hazard because this vehicle is routinely used to transport children passengers. An unlatched or unsecured sliding door places my children at direct risk of injury should the door open unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. An authorized Honda dealership service department was contacted regarding this issue and flatly refused to provide a safety remedy or repair assistance, claiming my specific VIN falls outside the narrow manufacturing window of NHTSA Safety Recall 18V-795 (Honda Campaign Z33/O36). Furthermore, I escalated this critical safety issue to American Honda corporate to request assistance, but they have failed to give me an answer within their standard 48-hour response window and I am now approaching 72 hours with no resolution. Despite their refusal and lack of response, my vehicle is exhibiting the exact same dangerous component failure and defective behavior that prompted the original federal recall. The scope of the original recall is clearly too narrow, and it needs to be expanded immediately to protect families facing this manufacturing defect.

I was driving on a parkway with my children aged 5 & 10. No warning lamps or messages were present at any point before this incident: While driving straight ahead on the parkway my vehicle drove over a pothole causing the side airbags to deploy without warning. I immediately felt a burning sensation on my left arm & abdominal pain. My seatbelt had locked tightly, impairing mobility & making it difficult to view and judge the speed of other vehicles around me, thus making exiting the parkway difficult & dangerous. Upon stopping the vehicle I observed the left side curtain airbag & the driver's seat side airbag had deployed. My daughter and I, who are both asthmatic, had difficulty breathing as a result of the expelled airbag gas. My son, seated next to the airbag, suffered pain in his ears and tinnitus from the noise of the airbags. Upon inspecting the exterior of vehicle I observed no damage consequential to driving over the pothole. Inside the vehicle, a quick inspection revealed a damaged headliner from the side curtain airbag, a damaged driver seat from its airbag, & a driver's side seatbelt that would not retract or extend. I did not inspect other seatbelts. Front airbags did Not deploy. NYPD responded but did not take a report. The vehicle is now at a Honda Service department, Honda case#16610360. Presently, the case has been reviewed by a Honda case manager who refused repair for the damage resulting from this incident, in spite of an active recall addressing this issue. [MFR RECALL NO: UNW, NHTSA RECALL NO.:26V227- side & side curtain airbags INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY WHEN THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS STRONG ROAD IMPACTS SUCH AS POTHOLES]. I received no recall notice prior to this incident. I discovered the recall through my own research after this incident. I have no information on what if anything Honda has done to test or inspect any supplemental restraint system or airbag system components. Please see attached photos.

I was just driving normally on my way home with 5 codes suddenly appeared on my dash disable all the driver assist features.

Honda Front camera system failed causing drive assist issues. All ACC, Lane keep assist, forward collision , lane departure, automatic emergency braking, and transmission shifting are not working due to camera is failed. Dealer asked to replace the camera for car to be safe to drive

Forward facing multipurpose camera has failed triggering multiple warning lights. This occurred right after the last recall for the van was completed which replaced the rear camera.

6 months after purchasing our 2019 Honda Odyssey we got warning that popped up about lane departure, collision and cruise control not being able to work properly. When we took it in we were told it was our front camera and it needed to be replaced and recalibrated. It would come to almost $3000 total. It has started to work for a couple of hours 3 times now. We bought this vehicle for it's safety features for our large family, not sure we will get another Odyssey after our issues with this one.

In April of 2025 I had my vehicle towed to O"Donnell Honda because my car was sputtering and inoperable after getting gas a few min prior. The ran codes and got back PO300 PO3054 and PO306 misfires and unknown to me there was an active warranty recall on the fuel injectors. At this time I was withing the warranty period. The dealership told me that I got bad gas and their was nothing wrong with my car. I have spent the last 16 months taking my car back and forth to the dealer trying to figure out what this intermitent problem was with my car. I have at least three visits to the dealer and multiple phone calls with honda over this time. In addition to emails. Most times the code would disappear before I could make it to the dealer. I have also spoken to honda corporate and they have never mentioned this warranty until yesterday I had the issue again and they said it was my fuel injectors and want me to pay $2000 to repair it despite this being a known issues since 4/2025 when my car was withing the warraty period. They said they had no obligation to fix it back in May because they could not recreate the problem but that is not true according to their 21-010 Defect service bulletin. It specifically states they were to replace the fuel injectors. I have documentation to prove all of this. I have spent month and put out additional money on a situation that thye dealership refused to replace a known, warranty-extended safety defect that was officially scanned and documented prior to the 150,000-mile expiration window

At approximately 52,000 miles, my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite developed multiple simultaneous warning messages indicating problems with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Autio High Beam and Road Departure Mitigation system.. with Break Assist light on. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealership, where the problem was reproduced and diagnosed as a failure of the front windshield-mounted multipurpose camera used by the Honda Sensing system. The dealer recommended replacement of the camera and quoted approximately $2,350 for the repair, including calibration. The failure disables several driver-assistance and collision-avoidance functions at the same time, including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, road departure mitigation, and collision mitigation braking. I am concerned that the simultaneous loss of these safety systems could increase the risk of a crash, particularly if a driver is relying on the systems when the failure occurs. There was no collision or known physical damage to the camera prior to the failure. The warning messages appeared on the instrument panel when the malfunction occurred. The dealer has confirmed the camera failure. The vehicle has not otherwise been inspected by police or insurance representatives. The failed component is currently still installed in the vehicle and should be available for inspection upon request unless it is replaced during repair. I am submitting this complaint because a safety-critical camera component failed at relatively low mileage and simultaneously disabled multiple Honda Sensing safety systems. Worth mentioning, the rear camera system was recalled and was replaced given that failure and this camera failing around the exact same time I fear that this camera failed due to a manufacturing problem. The dealer confirmed that my rear camera was effected by the recall.

When I go from a dead stop, it 7/10 times has a long hesitation before going. Sometimes its up to 5 seconds of hesitation. I've almost been hit crossing oncoming traffic. I have mentioned it to the Honda mechanics who say they don't see it when testing. I'm always afraid it's going to stall. Also, sometimes when I let off of the gas it almost feels like a brake is being applied as I approach a stop. I've changed the transmission fluid and used gas additives to no avail. I see some models of odyssey had a recall for this but for some reason not mine.

The front camera all of a sudden is malfunctioning - the following has been affected because of it: auto high beam, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the message "Air Bag System - SRS Problem" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the front passenger’s side air bag needed to be replaced. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 26V332000 (Air Bags) and 26V227000 (Air Bags); however, the VIN was not included in the recalls. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

My vehicle suddenly developed multiple warning messages at the same time, including: Brake System, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Auto High-Beam. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Honda dealership for diagnosis. The dealership determined that the front-view/multipurpose camera was short-circuiting/failing and needed to be replaced and calibrated. This concerns me as a potential safety defect because a failure of a single camera caused multiple Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistance systems to become unavailable simultaneously. I am concerned that the premature failure of the front-view camera may represent a recurring safety-related defect affecting other 2019 Honda Odyssey vehicles. A failure of this component can potentially leaving drivers without safety functions they may normally rely upon. Additionally, Honda Customer Relations told me that several customers had contacted Honda about the issue, and the dealership told me that it had replaced front cameras on numerous customers' vehicles for the same problem. I understand that Honda has issued a separate recall involving the rearview camera on certain 2019–2020 Odyssey vehicles. I understand that the rearview camera involved in that recall is different from the front-view camera that failed on my vehicle. I mention this only as additional context because both involve camera-related components on the same generation of Odyssey. I respectfully request that NHTSA review consumer complaints and other available information concerning front-view/multipurpose camera failure on 2019 Honda Odyssey vehicles to determine whether there is a safety-related defect trend.

Safety Concern: Severe Transmission Lag and Hesitation on Honda 9-Speed Vehicles. The Honda 9-speed automatic transmission exhibits dangerous downshifting hesitation and delayed shifting while cruising at highway speeds. When attempting to pass another vehicle or accelerate quickly for extra power, the transmission frequently experiences a severe lag, causing a total lack of throttle response (a "no response" mode).This sudden loss of acceleration at highway speeds is highly alarming and significantly increases the risk of a rear-end or overtaking collision, creating an immediate safety hazard for the driver and other motorists.

I believe it is the WINDSHIELD MONOCULAR MULTIPURPOSE LKAS ACC CAMERA. This sensor has malfunctioned for the past two moths and I've tried everything to fix it short of replacing it, which is ridiculously expensive. This is such a common problem on this make/year of vehicle. My car only has 75,000 miles on it.

2019 Honda Odyssey VIN: [XXX] The same passenger-side door window on my 2019 Honda Odyssey has spontaneously shattered on two separate occasions. There was no known collision or impact that would explain the repeated failure. Because the same window has now shattered twice, I am concerned there may be an underlying issue involving the glass, door/window assembly, regulator, alignment, or stress being placed on the glass. This window is immediately beside the seating position normally occupied by my young daughter. Fortunately, she was not sitting in that position when either incident occurred. I am concerned about the potential for injury from shattered glass if another failure occurs while a child is sitting there or while the vehicle is being driven. The repeated failure of the same window makes me concerned that simply replacing the glass does not address the underlying cause. I am reporting this so NHTSA has a record of the repeated failure and can determine whether similar incidents have been reported involving 2019 Honda Odyssey vehicles or related models. Photographs and documentation of the failures are available. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am reporting a severe engine issue on my 2019 Honda Odyssey that matches the exact failure profile of NHTSA Recall 23V-751 and the ongoing investigation PE25008 / RQ24-013. While driving, the vehicle randomly began experiencing a loud, progressive metallic knocking and ticking noise from the engine, sometimes it was a squeal, the engine stalled while in motion and wouldn't drive anymore. This presents a severe safety hazard, as an unexpected engine stall or failure while driving increases the risk of a crash. My VIN currently shows as "excluded" from Recall 23V-751. However, given that this vehicle has the exact same 3.5L V6 engine and is exhibiting the textbook symptoms of premature connecting rod bearing wear and crankshaft-related failure, I request that the NHTSA review this case to expand the recall parameters to include my vehicle batch.

Starting around 70,000 miles the front multipurpose camera continues to fail causing various warnings, including: - Collision mitigation system problem - Adaptive cruise control problem - Lane keep assist problem - Road departure mitigation system problem - Auto high beam problem

when trying to accelerate from a stop or slow roll velocity (e.g. at a yield sign), there is a hesitation between the time I press on the accelerator and when the vehicle moves. This becomes a hazard because if there is a delay in acceleration, I could be hit by oncoming traffic. The fuel pump had been previously recalled because of an impeller issue. At that time, the same thing would happen. Hesitation in acceleration. After the fuel pump was replaced (done early 2025 on my vehicle), that symptom was better but in the last few months, it has returned and is increasing in frequency. It happened today as I was driving 9/22/2026 but it was not the first time. It has been ongoing for months now so I decided to finally report it. I feel that this is related to previous NHTSA recall campaign ID number 23V858000

1. The tailgate of Honda Odyssey started opening and closing on its own. 2. There was water damage on the electronic tailgate control unit that short circuited it making it misbehave. 3. The unit started opening and closing on its own mid drive and caused a minor fender bender. 3. Honda dealership could not find any source of water intrusion.

While driving on the turnpike, we heard a loud explosion sound and our sunroof shattered. The weather was sunny and clear and there was no other vehicles near us at the time. There was nothing on the road ways either.

I own a 2019 Honda Odyssey EX with approximately 117,000 miles. While driving the vehicle from the roadway into a church parking lot, the driver's-side rear coil spring completely broke. There was no collision or accident involved. The failure occurred during normal driving as the vehicle entered the parking lot. The snap was very loud. I have never previously experienced a broken coil spring on a vehicle. The failure involved a major rear suspension component and occurred while the vehicle was in motion. A broken coil spring could potentially affect vehicle stability and ride height, damage other suspension components or the tire, or create a hazard if a portion of the broken spring were to become detached. I am reporting this because I am concerned that a rear coil spring would completely fracture during normal use at approximately 117,000 miles. I have since learned of other reported rear coil spring failures involving 2018–2019 Honda Odysseys, including reports of driver's-side and passenger-side rear springs breaking while the vehicles were being driven. I request that NHTSA document this failure and consider whether there is a broader safety issue involving the rear coil springs on this generation of Honda Odyssey. Vehicle: 2019 Honda Odyssey EX Mileage: Approximately 117,000 miles Component: Driver's-side rear coil spring Failure: Complete fracture/breakage while driving Accident or collision involved: No Date of failure: September 11,2026

By August 1, 2026, the check-engine light was on in my 2019 Honda Odyssey. I reported that the light was steady and the van was running normally, with no noticeable drivability problems. On August 31, 2026, at 141,126 miles, an authorized Honda dealer recorded DTC P0430, performed an air/fuel test, documented that the fuel injectors failed, and recommended replacing them. The dealer noted that failed injectors can cause P0430. The injector-specific parts-and-labor estimate is $1,849.06. No injector repair or post-repair test is documented yet. There was no crash, fire, injury, fatality, or police report. Honda Service Bulletin 21-010 provides a 10-year/150,000-mile injector warranty extension for certain 2018-2019 Odysseys. For P0430, it directs an air/fuel test and injector replacement if the test fails. Honda says this vehicle's VIN is ineligible despite the dealer's matching diagnostic pathway and offered 50% goodwill. This bulletin is a warranty extension, not a recall. I ask NHTSA to examine whether the eligible VIN population adequately captures 2019 Odysseys with this documented failure pattern. The attached evidence summary identifies 27 public NHTSA complaints that report injector or matching-code concerns together with VIN-based coverage exclusion; those are owner allegations, not confirmed failure rates. Some other owners allege hesitation, power loss, or limp mode, but I have not experienced those symptoms. I am concerned that continued injector deterioration could create a future drivability or loss-of-power risk. Please compare Honda's production, warranty, goodwill, dealer-test, and failure-analysis data for included and excluded vehicles. The dealer findings and evidence summary are attached.

My wife was driving our young daughters and the vehicle had multiple warning lights come on. then several messages stated transmission drive unavailable. then the vehicle stopped moving and stalled in a busy street. it would re-start but was idling at 3000rpm. however it would not move from where it died. it had to be towed to the Honda dealer. It was a very dangerous situation because it went from a check engine light to a dead vehicle in 30 seconds. very unsafe!

My name is [XXX], we bought a brand new 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite, we have had problems with this vehicle since day one. They have lied and covered up the issues with this vehicle starting with the infotainment center, transmission slippage, fuel pump and the front camera has been overheating giving us the message that it is overheating and all the lights come on. They have stalled us on these issues and now the extended warranty is up and we want something done about this. We have babied this vehicle the entire time since new and it seems like one problem after another, at this point we are very disappointed from the way we are being treated from Honda. The latest is the front sensor on the front mirror that pops up all the lights on the dash, no one seems to be able to duplicate the problem, now they are on all the time and conveniently the extra extended warranty we bought have since expired, there was a lot of recalls on this vehicle and no one ever seems to be able to send us the recall letters. We really thin the mirror sensor and the transmission are definitely safety issues especially when the mirror shuts all the safety off. The transmission shifts hard at times and we pray that Honda will step up to the plate and do the right thing and fix the other recall issues on this same vehicle as well. We have other Honda vehicles that we have not had any issues with, we just can't understand why we are being treated in this manner, we just want the vehicle fixed.

Faulty fuel injectors. Causes code P0219A

Vehicle began to misfire on cylinder 3. As the issue continued more cylinders stared to misfire. Next was number 6, then 2 increased up the engine. Air fuel ratio was 1.6. Assuming it was fuel/air/electrical in nature, the spark plugs, and fuel injector were changed and air intake and upper valves were cleaned of carbon build up. All gaskets replaced by new. Discovered and replaced a bad egr valve. Last codes that the car displayed before towing to dealer were many misfire codes and 2 engine/transmission communication errors. Dealer shop discovered air fuel ratio of 1.35 and checked all work before. Discovered fuel pooling and some shiny areas in the engine from scoping it. Decided that if was a bad engine with internal failure and transmission. Quoted me 17000 (about the same value as the vehicle if it was jn very good condition) for a new engine and transmission or 6800 for a used engine alone at risk of replacing transmission as well assuming communication errors do not go way or transmission fails further. I have called honda corporate my reference # 16624114. I requested goodwill repair due to recalls and class action lawsuits related to connecting rods in engines of similar cars and model years. And transmissions recalls for similar cars and model years. Goodwill is unlikely but pending.

When attempting to accelerate after completing a stop, there was no response from the vehicle when the accelerator was pressed for 2-3 seconds, then the vehicle suddenly lurched violently forward and hit the rear end of a vehicle in front causing severe damage to the cars.

Multipurpose camera on the Honda safety sensing system has failed. There are no warnings for blind spots or lane assists. My daughter will be driving this car. Confirmed by a service center with a diagnostic completed. No warning signs prior to failure. It failed on 8/30/2026

The sliding doors on the Honda Odyssey aren't latching; when trying to close them, they refuse.

My 2019 Honda Odyssey has a recurring and dangerous hesitation-to-accelerate defect that began within a few weeks of purchase and has continued for approximately one year, occurring roughly once every 5 times I drive the vehicle. The failure occurs when accelerating from a stop or slow speed, most critically when crossing traffic — for example, turning left across an oncoming lane or pulling out into a road with an approaching vehicle. When I press the accelerator pedal, the vehicle fails to respond for approximately 2-3 seconds. The pedal feels unresponsive during this delay. The transmission then suddenly engages and the vehicle accelerates abruptly and rapidly. This has created several genuinely dangerous situations. On multiple occasions, while attempting to cross traffic or complete a left turn, the vehicle did not move as expected while another vehicle was approaching, leaving me exposed in the roadway during the delay before the sudden acceleration occurred. These were not near-miss "in my head" moments — an approaching vehicle was close enough that the delay put me at direct risk of a collision. I brought this to my Honda dealer for inspection. The dealer was unable to reproduce the issue during their test drive and found no diagnostic trouble codes. The vehicle was returned to me with no repair performed. I have researched this issue and found it to be widely reported among other 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey owners, with symptoms matching mine almost exactly — hesitation from a stop followed by sudden, uncontrolled acceleration, particularly when crossing traffic at intersections. I am also aware this transmission (9-speed, ZF-sourced) is the subject of a class action lawsuit (Browning, et al. v. American Honda Motor Co.) alleging a defective transmission programming/design issue causing this exact symptom pattern. This is an active and ongoing safety hazard: the vehicle is unpredictable during exactly the maneuvers (left turns, crossing traffic, merging) w

In January 2026, my 2019 Honda Odyssey (approximately 110,000 miles) suddenly began displaying multiple simultaneous warning messages on the dashboard, including Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Auto High-Beam Problem, and a Brake System warning light. These warnings do not clear and are present every time the vehicle is started. As a result, the following safety systems are completely disabled: Forward collision avoidance / automatic emergency braking — the vehicle no longer detects or warns of potential frontal collisions Auto high-beam headlights — no longer switch automatically Adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist — inoperable Road departure mitigation — inoperable In addition to disabling these safety systems, the persistent warning messages significantly obstruct the main instrument cluster display, making it difficult to see basic driving information including speed, fuel level, and odometer/mileage. This is a serious distraction and visibility concern in itself, separate from the loss of the safety systems. I have not yet had the vehicle professionally diagnosed, but based on extensive research into this issue — including reviewing the NHTSA complaint database — this appears to be a widespread and well-documented defect affecting 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The pattern matches hundreds of other complaints describing failure of the front-mounted Multipurpose Camera Unit (MCU), frequently associated with diagnostic trouble code U3000-49 (Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar Internal Electronic Failure). Other owners report repair costs in the range of 1,500 to 2,600 for camera replacement and recalibration. This represents a serious safety concern: a single component failure disables the vehicle's primary collision-avoidance and driver-assistance systems simultaneously, while also obstructing basic instrument cluster vis

Front camera failure causing all system errors to not work to include lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, auto high beam.

The rear latch on the passenger sliding door has stopped latching. The part seems rusted out, and the door doesn't stay closed. It actually slid open a few inches while we were driving. The door does not stay latched. Our daughter was sitting next to the door and was afraid of falling out.

2019 Honda Odyssey Ex : Sensing camera located behind front windshield failed and stopped working and giving bunch of error messages. Cruise Control and other saftey features operated with help of this camera stopped working. The part number is 36160-THR-A11-M1

The vehicle’s front camera/Honda Sensing system has failed, causing multiple safety features to become unavailable simultaneously, including forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and related systems. The failure produces multiple warning messages and disables safety systems that the vehicle was equipped and marketed with. This is a recurring issue reported by other Honda owners and is currently the subject of a proposed class action lawsuit, Jones et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Case No. [XXX]. The lawsuit alleges a defective front camera system affecting 2018–2025 Honda vehicles, including the Odyssey. I believe this constitutes a safety defect because the failure can occur unexpectedly and simultaneously disables multiple driver-assistance and collision-avoidance safety systems. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and require Honda to issue a safety recall and provide a free repair.

Emissions system code popping up. Car smells of fasoline

For about 3-4 years now we have had issues with either the accelerator and/or possibly the transmission. We are not exactly sure which because our dealer claims they can never recreate the issue which is hard to believe since the issue happens to us most times the car is driven. The complaint that we have is intermittent delayed/no acceleration when accelerator is pressed, followed by sudden surge/punch forward after releasing and pressing accelerator again. What makes it particularly frightening is when it happens and the car is exposed to other perpendicular traffic that may not have to stop. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem occur or accompany the issue in question. The vehicle has only been looked at by our Honda Dealership.

The multipurpose windshield camera module in my 2019 Honda Odyssey experiences an internal electronic/power failure (Diagnostic Trouble Code U3000-49) while driving. This failure triggers a cascade of warning lights across the dashboard, instantly and without warning disabling the entire Honda Sensing driver-assist suite—including Collision Mitigation Braking (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Auto High Beams.

Ton of warning messages displayed related to ADAS systems not working. Took car to the dealership and was told the multicamera system failed. Messages almost identical to what's reported here and apparently many other Honda owners are reporting the same problem.
