The motor on the passenger side sliding door on our 2018 Honda Odyssey failed. The door could not be opened electrically - or Mechanically from inside or outside the vehicle. We had it repaired at the dealer at a cost of ~$2,000. The sliding door was INOPERABLE when the motor failed. If the car was in an accident the door could not be opened by second or third row passengers or first responders to enable evacuation from the vehicle. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! The problem was confirmed by the dealer. The sliding door can’t be opened when the motor fails. The dealer also stated that Honda had an active engineering assessment in process and that a recall might happen - so hold on to our receipt.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled and lost motive power with several warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, shifted the vehicle into park(P), and there was smoke coming from the engine. The vehicle failed to restart after the failure. The vehicle was towed to a service center, where an engine failure was confirmed, and the contact was referred to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine and front axle had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by telephone. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.

All my warning light come on every time I turn on the van. Been going on for several months. Was told the issue will get fixed if the front camera under rear view mirror get replaced. Feel like this needs to be recalled to get fixed, especially finding out Honda already knew there was a issue.

All this warning lights just come on out of no where due to the safety camera feature on the windshield that controls all the safety features of the car and this vehicles are not even 10 years old and the repair cost is too expensive for just that camera and almost every Honda odyssey is having the same issue I think there should be a recall for that specific camera in my opinion.

It started back in July 2026; I had a warning pop up that some functions aren’t available and to clean front windshield camera. We did. Still received the warning. Sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not. I can go down the highway and it will come up and then a few miles later it’ll turn off and the functions work. Even driving around town it does it. I have noticed there are a lot of drivers of the 2018 models having this same issue.

On October 14/15, 2026 it rained. At approximately 12:25pm on October 15, 2026 my power lift gate stopped working. It wouldn’t open with any of the controls. Upon further inspection we noticed the control module had water damage. We replaced the module on October 21,2026. It is still having issues. It opens with the controls but won’t close using the same controls. You have to manually close it.

In XXX, the power tailgate on my 2018 Honda Odyssey stopped working. I took the vehicle to authorized Honda dealer Fred Beans Honda of [XXX]. The technician documented in writing on repair order #XXX (XXX): "There is water leaking onto the power tailgate control unit. Technician found the water leak going into from the back of roof on the left side. Needs a new power tailgate control unit." Water entered through the rear body seam seals and dripped onto the power tailgate control module (P/N 74970-THR-A12). The removed module showed severe blue-green corrosion -- it does not fail on its own at 31,500 miles. Safety concern: A tailgate whose control module is destroyed by water intrusion cannot be relied on to latch or stay closed; an unlatched or unexpectedly opening tailgate while driving endangers occupants and surrounding traffic. Known defect, not isolated failure: Honda issued a TSB on rear body seam-seal water intrusion on 2018-2019 Odysseys; federal class action Case No.XXX (XXX.) covers 2018-2021 Odysseys with defective polyurethane seam seals destroying the power tailgate control module; numerous owner reports in the NHTSA database describe identical failures. What I did: The dealer quoted $1,302.88. I first asked American Honda by phone for goodwill coverage and was denied. I repaired it myself with a genuine Honda module ($215.57, Order #XXX, XXX); total out-of-pocket $416.92. On XXX I submitted a written goodwill reimbursement request online (case #XXX, continuing

I own a 2018 Honda Odyssey Touring. On May 29, 2026, I started the engine on my Odyssey and several dashboard system warnings appeared. The internet suggested having the battery tested and it was getting low, so I replaced the battery. The warning signs remained and caused several Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistance systems to become unavailable, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation, and Auto High Beams. Additionally, a Brake System warning appears on the dashboard. I have video recording of these warnings from when they first appeared in May. On September 2, 2026, the lights disappeared out of nowhere and all components worked. Later that same date, the lights were back and the components stopped working again. This happened again on October 13, 2026 - lights went off, then returned later in the day. The recurrent temporary reprieve from the lights makes me wonder if there is an electrical short in the rearview camera that controls those safety features. The diagnostics cost of this alone was going to be nearly $200. As numerous other similar complaints have been made to NHTSA, I am hoping this issue will be investigated and addressed - it is concerning that a single system failure is causing multiple safety features to be disabled - notwithstanding that is is difficult to know when to be worried about warning lights when the dashboard is full of them.

Front radar/camera failure.All yellow ADAS warning lights turn on simultaneously (Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and Road Departure Mitigation). Problem has been confirmed by dealer. Safety is at risk by not having this crash prevention features on.

The forward monocular camera mounted on the windshield of the 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite failed, and this single point of failure turned off the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation, and Adaptive Cruise Control. A majority of the safety and assist features of the vehicle no longer work.

Subject: Airbag Deployment After Recall Repair - 2018 Honda Odyssey My 2018 Honda Odyssey received the Honda airbag recall repair in XXX. After the recall remedy was completed, the driver's side by side curtain airbags deployed unexpectedly while I was driving. At the time of the incident, I struck a curb at approximately 25-30 mph. However, there was no collision involving another vehicle, object, or side-impact event, and there was no contact with the vehicle's bumper or body. The tire was not damaged. Fortunately, I was the sole occupant of the vehicle, and no children were present. Despite the absence of what I believe would be a qualifying side-impact collision, the driver's side curtain and side airbags deployed. I am reporting this incident because it occurred after the manufacturer's recall repair had already been performed. I will also provide the inspection report from Firestone, which indicates that the front passenger-side wheel alignment was affected as a result of the curb impact. I respectfully request that Honda investigate this incident, review any available SRS (airbag system) diagnostic data, and determine whether the airbag deployment was related to the previously recalled condition or another defect. Please advise if any additional information or documentation is needed. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

There is a very common issue with Hondas that the front camera behind the rear view mirror shuts down which causes many safety systems to shut down and nit work this happened to my car it is very unsafe as i am now missing five very important safety features and i am going to have to pay thousands to repair it. This problem has been confirmed by my mechanic as he inspected it. This happened randomly out of nowhere with no signs of this coming. The five components that do not work because of this camera failure are lane assist, auto high beam, lane departure, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning. This puts me and others at danger.

The front camera that controls lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, collision warning, auto high beam, lane departure failed so none of these features work. The component has been replaced by a Honda service center. I don’t believe the failed component is available to inspect.

The vehicle was stalled on highway local about seven times. My car got stranded and almost got into serious accidents. This happened multiple times and Honda couldn’t fix it. I spent $9000 and couldn’t find the problem. Honda changed fuel injectors, pump, regulator, high pressure. But the car is still stranded on highway which is very dangerous

Camera/Radar behind the rearview mirror failed. This triggered the following alerts to populate. Forward collision alert, auto high beams, lane departure, active cruise control (active and passive both failed to work), brake system, transmission system, lane keep assist failure. The gear indicator would flash when the transmission system error came on. Van has ~76k miles on it. ~$119 for diagnosis, ~$1400 for the part, ~$300 for the calibration and several additional hundred in labor. This is a known issue with the 5th generation Honda Odysseys. Honda won't do anything about it. It was up to 8 error messages on the dash at one point.

I own a 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite. On October 5, 2026, at 120,007 miles, an authorized Honda dealership diagnosed the vehicle with DTC U3000-49, Multipurpose Camera Internal Failure. The Honda technician cleared the DTC, but it returned shortly afterward. The technician inspected the camera and connector for poor connections or damage and documented that none were found. The dealership determined that the multipurpose camera needs to be replaced and reprogrammed. I was quoted $2,350 plus tax for the repair. The failure causes multiple Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistance systems to become unavailable and produces multiple dashboard warnings, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation, and related safety-system warnings. I have video documenting these warnings following the dealership diagnosis. My safety concern is that an internal failure of a single multipurpose camera can simultaneously disable multiple collision-avoidance, lane-assistance, and driver-assistance systems. I am reporting this failure so NHTSA has a record of the U3000-49 failure on my 2018 Honda Odyssey and can determine whether this represents a broader safety defect affecting these vehicles. The vehicle has not yet been repaired.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving out of the driveway, the rear passenger’s side power sliding door unexpectedly opened, with a message displayed that the rear door was opened. The contact stated that there was a failure with the automatic operation of the rear sliding door. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and DTC: B2087 was retrieved. The contact was informed that the rear latch assembly had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed by the dealer that the repair might not fix the vehicle and could cause additional issues. The contact stated that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V795000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by telephone. The failure mileage was approximately 113,987.

The contact owned a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that water was seeping into the trunk during inclement weather or while washing the vehicle. The contact stated that several warning lights remained illuminated, and the cruise control, blind spot detection, lane departure warning, and powered tailgate failed to function as intended. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the metal on the power tailgate needed to be welded to stop the leak, and the dash camera and computer needed to be replaced due to the water damage. The vehicle was repaired; however, water was still entering the vehicle during inclement weather or while washing the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.

Repeatedly, often several times a day, the front seatbelts become unlatched. They become unlatched without any warning either immediately after fastening them, or while driving

The vehicle doors have given issues where they open when attempting to close. The doors will start closing and then reopen or don’t close at all. We’ve had this van for about a year and started having this issue early on. Upon searching online, it was discovered that are many instances where door issues have occurred and a site found to further support this but my VIN was not listed even though the same issue occurs. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/honda-odyssey-minivan-recalled-over-problem-with-sliding-doors/#:~:text=Honda%20is%20recalling%20107%2C000%20of%20its%202018%20and%202019%20Odyssey%20minivans%20because%20its%20power%20sliding%20doors%20may%20not%20latch%20properly%2C%20raising%20the%20possibility%20that%20they%20could%20open%20while%20the%20vehicle%20is%20in%20motion%2C%20according%20to%20the%20National%20Highway%20Traffic%20Safety%20Administration.%20According%20to%20Honda%2C%20some%20components%20in%20the%20power%20sliding%20door%27s%20rear%20latch%20assembly%20are%20prone%20to%20sticking%2C%20which%20can%20stop%20the%20front%20and%20rear%20latches%20from%20securely%20connecting.%20This%20problem%20affects%20the%20left%20and%20right%20power%20sliding%20doors%2C%20Honda%20says.

The front camera has failed so all of my forward driving safety features no longer work such as lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation. Every time I turn on the engine I have multiple warning lights that appear every time that have to manually acknowledge to clear them from my dashboard.

The Fuel Injectors are failing which is causing a safety concern with regards to moving the vehicle. There was a warranty extension on these items that does not go far enough to remedy the issue. The components have been inspected and confirmed by the Burns Honda Dealership in Marlton, NJ. Because the vehicle does not consistently accelerate, it is a safety risk.

2018 Honda Odyssey EX-L, The vehicle consistently has a significant delay in acceleration. This is especially noticeable when starting from a stop or low speed and attempting to make a left turn across traffic. The accelerator pedal is pressed, but the vehicle sometimes provides little or no acceleration for 1 to 2 seconds. The vehicle will then begin accelerating, sometimes abruptly. This has created a safety concern because the vehicle can begin entering an intersection but fail to accelerate as expected, leaving it exposed to approaching traffic. The problem has occurs regularly and has been noticeable for an extended period. There are no intentional actions by the driver that would account for the delayed response. I am aware of two other Honda odysseys doing the exact same thing. One being my neighbor who brought it up themselves and another, an individual at work. My neighbor has the same year and model. The other I am unsure about. This seems to be a consistent and likely widespread issue. The vehicle is a 2018 Honda Odyssey EX-L equipped with the 9-speed automatic transmission. I will be scheduling the vehicle with a Honda dealership and ask the dealership to diagnose this acceleration-delay problem.

Car takes longer to start, difficult to accelerate and stalls. Shaking hard when accelerating at certain speed. There is a p0087 code when autozone scanned it.

Multiple warning lights on. Dealership told me it was code U3000-49 Multipurpose Camera mutimimillmeter wave radar internal electronic failure

Crankshaft/rod bearing defect that is causing an audible knocking noise in the engine and located metal shavings in the oil.

All systems relating to the forward facing camera have failed.

1. Component failed: The low-pressure fuel pump failed. The vehicle is currently sitting at my residence and is available for inspection upon request.2. Safety risk: The vehicle stalled completely while driving, causing an immediate loss of propulsion on a public road, creating a severe collision risk.3. Confirmation: The problem has been pulled and confirmed by an independent service center (AutoZone diagnostic scan tool), which pulled a code to replace the fuel pump.4. Inspection: The component has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives, as the manufacturer is currently refusing to authorize an inspection due to a salvage title.5. Warning lamps/Symptoms: Immediately prior to the stall, a complete cascade of warning lights appeared on the dashboard simultaneously, and the vehicle sputtered aggressively upon attempting to crank and restart.Assessment: This is the identical, textbook physical failure condition of NHTSA Campaign 23V-858 regarding defective factory-installed Denso fuel pumps in 2018 Honda Odysseys. American Honda Corporate is using an automated salvage title database filter as a pretext to deny mandatory federal safety recall remedies on a vehicle with zero structural fuel system damage.

This vehicle is actively immobilized on private residential property with its central ADAS safety networks and Advanced Driver-Assist networks completely crashed and offline (DTC U3000-49) and active short-to-ground circuit failures (DTC B2035) rendering the passenger sliding doors completely inoperable, creating an immediate entrapment and safety hazard. These progressive component failures cascade directly from severe environmental moisture intrusion inside the rear tailgate enclosure. This exact water migration vector intersects directly with active federal safety campaign NHTSA Recall 26-V-423 (Rearview Camera Failure), which isolates moisture intrusion into the panel housing as the root factory manufacturing defect. A manufacturer franchise location documented active water leakage onto the Power Tailgate Control Unit and heavy corrosion on the wiring connector under a previous Repair Order but performed zero interim moisture sealing, corrosion cleanup, or terminal mitigation, allowing progressive water migration to completely destroy the wiring system harness. Furthermore, American Honda Corporate Case Management explicitly stated on a recorded verbal line that the manufacturer is denying all repair assistance to remedy these cascading safety campaign electrical defects under an active corporate case. The manufacturer is in open default of its statutory federal obligation to remedy a safety recall defect free of charge to the consumer.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the audio of the vehicle unexpectedly became inoperable. The failure was a recurring failure. Additionally, there was an abnormal burning odor inside the vehicle. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V431000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The dealer was contacted and stated that the cost of the repair was not covered because the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 90,332.

My vehicle intermittently shifts from normal automatic Drive (D) into S mode without any intentional driver input. I do not touch or activate the steering-wheel paddle shifter when this occurs. Searching on reddit and other forums I see many other drivers have the same issue. The problem appears to happen primarily after coming to a complete stop, such as at a traffic light or stop sign. When I then press the accelerator to proceed, the vehicle may have very little acceleration because it has unexpectedly entered S mode. This has occurred while I was attempting to turn or proceed into traffic and has nearly caused an accident on multiple occasions. The issue is intermittent and cannot be reproduced on demand. However, it has happened multiple times under similar circumstances. I am certain I did not intentionally activate the paddle shifter. I am concerned this may be a safety defect involving the electronic shift control, paddle shifter, transmission controls, sensors, or related software. An unexpected change in transmission mode immediately after stopping can create a dangerous situation because the driver expects normal automatic operation and acceleration when entering an intersection or traffic. I am requesting that NHTSA document this complaint and investigate whether this is a safety-related defect that may affect other vehicles.

Tail gate problems Looks like there are a lot of tailgate problems with the Honda Odyssey, including water leaks that can affect the control module. I replaced the control module, but it looks like there’s a lot of information and research about this issue online.

Rear sliding door failure, doors wouldn't latch properly resulting in opening when driving down the road. Took to dealership for repair. Paid $1633.78 they replaced rear latches 3/31/2026. Rear latches failed to open resulting in one Rear door cable breaking and one that will not open at all 9/1/2026. Neither door opens at this point.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the rear liftgate was inoperable and had to be unlocked through the emergency release in the trunk. Additionally, the contact stated that the rear window seal was significantly fractured. A message that the tailgate was inoperable was displayed accompanied by a chime that was heard inside and outside the vehicle while driving. The contact stated that the message was displayed after a rainstorm. Additionally, while the contact's son was using the seat belt, the contact became aware that the passenger’s side third-row seat belt and seat belt retractor housing attached to the roof were wet. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the tailgate printed circuit board for the locking mechanism was corroded, and the motor had failed. The vehicle was scheduled for the repair. Additionally, the dealer referred the contact to an auto body service center to determine where the water was entering the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. While the contact's wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle drove over a pothole and the driver's- and passenger's-side curtain airbags deployed. The air bags deployment frightened the contact’s wife, and the steering wheel was jerked, and the vehicle crashed into the concrete median. The contact stated that the front driver's side tire was flat. The contact removed the deployed side curtain air bags and replaced the driver's side front wheel. The vehicle was inspected by the insurance company. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V227000 (Air Bags). The contact stated that the recall notification was received the day after the failure had occurred. The manufacturer was contacted by phone, and a case was filed. The contact was informed that the case was denied. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

NHTSA Recall 19V-299 / Honda Campaign Z4J. Sudden gear refusal, shifting malfunctions, and stalling. The premature structural failure of my 10-speed transmission is a direct consequence of the known factory software defect that violently shifts the car into Park while moving.

The vehicle would not accelerate over 40MPH, we took the vehicle into the dealership for what we thought was a failed fuel injector, upon inspection they found metal shavings in the oil and mentioned the engine is not repairable and would need a whole new replacement. We had this vehicle 9 months. Upon investigation there was a known recall that is identical to the issues we are experiencing. The whole engine is failed and we cannot utilize it. It was inspected by the dealership. The check engine light is illuminating, and does not increase in speed. My family and I were unable to drive at a reasonable speed on the highway once it failed.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the passenger's side power sliding door unexpectedly opened and failed to latch. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V795000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 195,000.

The windshield-mounted front monocular camera (Honda Sensing unit) overheated and failed/burnt out. This failure completely disabled the Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control systems, triggering multiple safety system warning lights on the dashboard.

COMPONENT THAT FAILED & AVAILABILITY: The vehicle's primary electrical architecture and data communications network (CAN bus) failed during a safety recall service for the SRS ECU and rearview camera. After attempting to complete the recall work, the vehicle is no longer able to start. SAFETY RISK: The manufacturer's federally mandated safety recall remedy compromised the vehicle's critical safety and control infrastructure. This rendered a previously reliable family vehicle entirely inoperable, destroying its ability to communicate, start, or turn on. It poses a systemic safety risk if the corporate recall procedure itself causes severe electronic failures in consumer vehicles. REPRODUCTION & DEALER CONFIRMATION: Yes. The failure was induced directly by Williams Honda ([XXX]) during service on Thursday, XXX. The dealership's Service Manager explicitly confirmed to me that their technicians compromised the electrical architecture while performing the SRS ECU and rearview camera recall work. The vehicle has remained dead at their facility ever since. INSPECTION BY OTHERS: The vehicle has been actively inspected by dealership technicians in coordination with Honda Engineering headquarters. It has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives, as no crash occurred. I have requested an inspection by a Honda Corporate Field Technical Specialist (FTS). WARNING LAMPS & PRIOR SYMPTOMS:NONE. Prior to this appointment, the vehicle was in perfect electrical and mechanical wo

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate, requiring the contact to forcefully depress the accelerator pedal to move the vehicle. The contact stated that multiple warning lights unexpectedly illuminated, including the Road Departure Mitigation system, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and Lane Departure Warning system warning lights, and all related safety features failed to operate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

The monocular camera (multipurpose camera secured under the rear view mirror) has failed. This disables the following" Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS): Detects obstacles or vehicles ahead and helps brake automatically if a collision seems likely. Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Works with CMBS to send visual and audible alerts if you get too close to a vehicle in front of you. Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Adjusts steering torque to help keep your van centered in a detected lane. Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Alerts you if you drift across detected lane lines without using your turn signal. Road Departure Mitigation (RDM): Applies steering help or braking if you drift off the paved road entirely. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Maintains a safe, set following distance behind a vehicle traveling ahead of you. These systems are helpful in keeping you safe while driving. The problem with camera failing cause these system warnings to populate on the dash. This is distracting. This has been confirmed with independent service center. Has not been inspected by manufacture. Started August 21. quoted $2200 to replace and recalibrate.

The car on a weekly basis or almost every time it is driven. The car jerks when driving at low speeds. This is a safety risk when driving for vehicles in front or behind me, as the car jerks forward. This has been mentioned to the dealer, but they stated a charge of 180 USD will be incurred for diagnoses. If you look at the NHTSA complaints database there are numerous complaints similar to what I am experiencing from other owners stating the same issue of jerkiness on the honda Odessey. I am surprised there is no recall on this. I put the date in down below but it happens almost every time the car is driven.

Forward Collision Warning

A warning for Power Tailgate Problem keeps coming up. It tried to open multiple times while driving, beeping at us. It wouldn’t open with the buttons at all. We had to manually open and close it. This makes the second time it’s done it. And it always has to do when it rains. Honda knows this is a well known issue with their odyssey’s and it needs recalled. The dealership wants us to pay for a well known issue. We had a friend with the same year odyssey and the same thing happened but their tailgate completely opened a few times while driving.

The passenger side curtain airbags deployed while driving with no prior warning.

My Odyssey randomly began displaying all of the ADAS warning messages: The Brake System indicator light comes on, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Lane-Keeping Assist, Auto High Beam System error, etc. These came on beginning 7/25/26 and have come on everyday since causing the entire ADAS system to be inoperable. There have been a few days that they didn't come on immediately. I have had a few days where they came on half-way through my drive. This is a safety issue due to a defect in either the front camera or wiring to it, a nuisance, and something Honda needs to correct. It seems to be way too common of an issue according to my research. There hasn't been any damage to the van and no reason for these to come on. I have done research and see this has happened to many people. The replacement camera is costly as well as the calibration. Therefore, I haven't taken it to the dealership but I have discussed the issue with them. They agree that the camera is getting too hot and failing, which is causing the errors and of course all of those safety features fail simultaneously.

Faulty transmission. Lags when you start to drive. Constant delay.
