When i stop curbside for school carpooling (i have 5 children at 3 different schools) to allow passengers to exit the passenger side sliding door, i then cannot get it to close. The door will slide all the way to within 1 inch of closing and pop back open. Repeatedly. Driving with the sliding door ajar is not safe. I have been able to use the driver's side buttons to stop the door, and start it closing again. If i…

When i slowed to a stop, the car suddenly died in the middle of the street and went into park. The air conditioner continued to run, we could not get it out of park. My concern is that the dealer says this has never happened before. I'm hearing from many sources that this has happened to them - even while moving. They can't seem to find out what's wrong, but i'm concerned that it's something major. It may also be…

I drove about 10 mins to the restaurant, parked for around five mins, then got back in car to drive home.

This happens when we are in traffic on a highway and streets or at stop signs and stopping briefly and and the vehicle goes into park and must be re-started by pressing the "on/off" button. It is very scary and dangerous. Also i get an error message saying the vehicle's "heated seat system problem". Secondly the…

There has already been a recall issued for the latches on both sliding doors. I was notified at the end of 2018 about this recall however my dealership (hubler honda) did not have the parts at that time. They encouraged me to bring my van to back to hubler honda at the beginning of 2019 as the parts would be more readily available. It is now july 25. I have an appointment tomorrow and that dealership notified me,…

I should have never gone back to honda! My 2018 honda odyssey has been another lemon! Bought the car as a cpo on december 21, 2018 with just over 3,000 miles. Since then the car has been in the shop 4 times to fix this infotainment system. I had the entire dashboard black out on me and couldn't see my speed, yet the honda dealership near me told me 'just drive it to work, it'll be okay.' then the infotainment went…

I've had my 2018 honda odyssey touring for 2 months; it has 2600 miles. My vehicle shifted into park while driving 70mph on the interstate! The car made a popcorn/gravel slamming against the car sound while felt as though the bottom half of the van was trying to separate from the top!! Talk about frightening! It briefly flashed ""collision mitigation"-something,, but it was just on the screen for a half-second. I…

Panel behind the gas pedal and brake pedal is missing. This exposes a large area of electrical wires. A driver will easily be able to get his feet there while stretching his legs and intentionally mess up the wiring. I contacted the dealer and they said it is normal for 2018 models of odyssey.

Push button shifting from reverse to drive is problematic. If the drive button is not pressed firmly enough the vehicle remains in reverse, but the driver thinks that the vehicle is in drive. If there is a person behind the vehicle and the operator presses the throttle then a possibly deadly accident can occur. When shifting from drive to reverse there is an audio notification (a chime sound) that the vehicle is in…
