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…

Electrical issues: after driving vehicle for 2 ' 5 minutes, entertainment system, rear entertainment screen and parking sensors stop working. The speakers make loud popping sound that will not go away even when you try to power off radio/entertainment system. Turning the vehicle off was the only way to stop the sound. Once restarted, everything would work for 2 ' 5 minutes and the same thing would happen. The…

When i got into the car, i had just started the car up and there were warning lights for the blind spot information system not working; other things that weren't working were the heated seats or the rear climate controls. Later that day, the backup camera screen was black. This is unacceptable for my 2018 touring that is almost 50k!

At random times either stationary or moving, the audio multi function unit will lock up and disable various features of the car including security systems and climate control. I have taken this vehicle to the dealer and they state that there is no fix for it and that i should turn it off and back on to try to reset it. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. As there have been several recalls already…

Car was powered off on level ground, no lights, radio, nothing was turned on in car. No sensors displayed in dashboard, no sounds from car. Hatch was left opened for 2 days for an event. When event over, car would not turn on. Took to dealership who said car battery died. They said it was probably bad battery since nothing was on battery should not drain. I suspect it's a fuse issue with the hatch door draining the…

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…

The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failures. The…

Upon proceeding through an intersection the van began to automatically break to a complete stop from approximately 30-35mph, screeching tires, then shutting completely off. The entire dashboard cluster was dark as was the computer display for the radio/other controls. Looking down the "park" indicator was lit red. I pressed the break and the van started up and went into gear driving as if nothing occurred. This…

Entire dash turned off while driving including speedometer and information screen-replaced radiohead. All warning lights came on while driving-replaced fuel injectors. Popcorn sound and warning light came on while driving after picking up car from getting fuel injectors replaced-stating it's a bad rear entertainment system. I bought my car 1 year ago and it's obviously flawed.

Crakling sound on dash from side to side, noisy and stronger by the weeks. Took ca to the dealer with 12k miles; three attempts were made. Honda service replaced the audio system, next attempts they said it was my iphone cable. Now, with 14k miles, can't use radio, bluetooth, carplay and the ent system freezes. Any call i make or receive, the cracklin starts and call freezes until gets disconnected. Does not matter…

Touring-rear entertainment system shuts off to black screen and cabin watch loses signal and gives an error code. While driving long distances, the kids can only watch the first 30 minutes of their dvd before the system seems to overheat and completely shutdown. We have resorted to turning it off to let it cool down ( dvd that is removed from the player comes out scalding hot) before retrying to let them watch and…

Sliding doors will not close. Sometimes the door will close almost to the end and then recoil or the door will not close at all (it just beeps). A large number of people appear to be having this issue with all sorts of fixes that are not solving the problem (https://www.odyclub.com/forums/81-2018-odyssey/309801-driver-s-side-sliding-door-stopped-closing.html#/topics/309801?page=6) and appears related to nhsta…

In the summer the backup camera will occasionally stop working and the message "camera too hot" will appear on the information screen. Honda states this is normal operation. I believe this is a safety hazard that honda should resolve.
