Owner report 11435969 · 2021-10-07 (October 7, 2021)
When I first purchased my ‘22 Honda Odyssey a few months ago, the Apple CarPlay wouldn’t work, then the main center screen started black screening and not turning on. I took it in to the dealer and they ordered the part almost 4 weeks ago. It’s still not in. Anyways, about 2 weeks ago, my van randomly braked while I was going 70 mph on SRT. Fortunately, we didn’t get in an accident. There were no shadows, no other cars in front of us, not any reason for it to flash BRAKE and stop. My mom was next to me and yelled, “What are you doing there are …

Owner report 11451295 · 2022-02-09 (February 9, 2022)
After driving vehicle to run 3 stop and go inside errands I drove home . Estimate of time for errands etc. was about 30 minutes. I pulled into my home's driveway and applied brake pedal to bring car to a complete stop so that I could tilt-in side view mirrors before pulling into my carport. As I did this I noticed that a white smoke had begun to enter the car through the AC diffusers. Smoke was also seen exiting from front right side of engine hood and through the exterior fresh air channel (the wiper blade area). The smoke had the odor as…

Intermittently, my 2022 Honda Odyssey with less than 16,000 miles will “stall” after the idle stop/start system is enacted. The first time it happened, I was waiting to turn left out of a parking lot onto a busy road. The idle stop kicked in, and when I went to go, my car lurched about 5 feet and the engine cut out completely requiring me to turn off the car with the push button start, restart the car, and put the car into drive. Luckily, people going both directions on the crossroad were able to go around me. This has happened probably 10 time…

Owner report 11420301 · 2021-06-09 (June 9, 2021)
We were driving on M-14 EB, merging onto I-275 N. As we approached the exit ramp, the vehicle began to decelerate as the engine wildly revved. We pulled over the the very narrow shoulder of the exit ramp, as to allow traffic to pass and turned the vehicle off, in hopes that it was simply a computer glitch. We re-started the vehicle and encountered the same problem. There were no warning lamps or indications of a problem. We managed to limp it slowly to the end of the ramp where we called Honda Roadside Assistance. We had it towed to the dea…

Owner report 11732604 · 2026-04-21 (April 21, 2026)
Hello I am reporting a safety concern involving a 2022 Honda Odyssey EX-L that was involved in an accident and declared a total loss. During the incident, I was driving in snowy conditions at approximately 50 mph while entering a split lane. The vehicle began to skid, and shortly afterward I observed warning indicators activating. It appeared that vehicle safety systems, including stability or braking systems, engaged automatically. Over the next several seconds, I attempted to regain control by applying the brakes multiple times and making …

Owner report 11532884 · 2023-07-17 (July 17, 2023)
The air for the last 2 summers hasn’t worked right. Recently it wouldn’t work until being driven for hours then it would cool off. After it would cool down the car would start to get a very strong gas smell inside. After being checked 3 different times we were informed that there was a problem with the fuel line and the design of it. We would have to have it rerouted seasonally. This is very dangerous, they said there was no permanent fix and in the mean time we were left inhaling gas for weeks. Gas inhalation can kill you. This is a very serio…

Owner report 11696720 · 2025-10-31 (October 31, 2025)
The Honda High Pressure Fuel Pump Recall is an ongoing and critical safety campaign impacting numerous Honda and Acura models primarily from the 2017-2022 model years. The defective fuel pump component can fail unexpectedly, causing sudden loss of engine power while driving, significantly increasing the risk of a crash or fire. I am the manager and co-owner in an automotive mechanic workshop in Miami, and in the last year several Honda Odyssey have arrived at my workshop with this problem with the high-pressure fuel pump. All of these cars wer…
