2019 Honda Odyssey complaints

When braking hard it or on hills shakes the whole vehicle bad. Has been doing this since about 10,000 miles. Was taken back to dealer for this at 12,000 miles . I have new brakes and rotors changed 3 times since. Still not right. I think it’s ABS problem or electronic brake issue

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would downshift without warning, causing the vehicle to lurch forward. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 59,500.

Driving 60mph on the highway, everything electrical shut off and on several times. The dash screen, the touch screen, the AC, the lights. I immediately took an exit and got off, and when the rebooting stopped I was going about 30mph and the car shifted by itself into park. Then there was a horrible grinding sound of metal on metal...I hit the brakes to pull off the road the car got under 20mph and stopped instantaneously. I had the car towed to my local Honda dealership and they said they cannot replicate the issue, nor see any error codes. They will not take apart anything to check for damage to the parking rod because there were no error codes...And they want me to pick up the vehicle today.

When I go to accelerate I lose power and am unable to accelerate a lot of the times. The problem is intermittent and the sales people at Nissan dealership where I bought it from can't duplicate is. I've been mentioning this issue since I purchased the vehicle. Yesterday while driving the vehicle there was a loud bang noise and I lost ALL power driving 65 mph down Parmer lane. I had to coast and make a uturn at which point some power was regained. Multiple other times while driving to the dealership the same thing happened while trying to go across traffic. It was amazing nothing happened to us. I took it to the dealership and they acknowledged there's a major lawsuit right now for that vehicle but when Honda pulls up the VIN it doesn't show my vehicle is affected.

Our car has failed to start 3 times in one week. Our battery has been throughly inspected and nothing appears to be wrong with it. We have jump-started our car in July, and twice this week. (Once yesterday and once today.) We are not sure why this is the case.

Struck a 100lb dog going between 45-48 mph. Knee airbags deployed but steering wheel and dash did not. Driver and front passenger buckles locked in wreck. Driver side back and middle row seatbelts did not lock with passengers.

There is a crackling sound coming from the dashboard. There was a recall regarding this issue, however, I took the car into have this recall fixed. The issue has persisted even after the recall fix. I took the car into the dealership 4 times since and the issue still has not been fixed. I started contacting Honda three weeks ago regarding this issue. I have left five messages with the case manager, but have not had my phone call returned. I asked for another case manager, but was refused one. The case number is 1252 9330. The phone number for Honda is 800-999-1009. The case manager's name is Corey. I don't know what to do at this time so I am contacting the NTSB for your assistance. Thank you.

AC stops working when in slow traffic and outside is over 90 deg. This is a safety issue because it’s unsafe to drive a vehicle when the inside gets too hot. This is especially dangerous for when a baby is on board. Also the transmission is poor. It lags when I step on the pebble sometimes. This is dangerous when I try to make an unprotected left turn and the car won’t go forward. That means my timing for the turn is thrown off by a couple of seconds which could make a safe turn much more dangerous.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was hesitant to accelerate and would stall on occasion. While driving, several messages regarding the braking system, emission, steering, and the engine were displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the fuel injectors, and flushed and reprogrammed the transmission module however, the failure recurred. The dealer later advised that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 3,000.

The vehicle hesitates. It chokes so badly that it is a danger to drive. I do not know if this is a result of the new transmission type or a problem with the engine. I suspect that the problem is related to the transmission because of how you reach the point where it chokes. Plus the two dealers it was sent to for repair hinted to me that the issue is the new style transmission. Here's one typical example. Sitting at an intersection waiting to turn left. If I take my foot off the brake and apply my foot to the gas pedal without hesitation it typically works fine. However, if I touch the gas, back off the pedal then hit the gas pedal again, I'm left in the intersection not moving for a few seconds. This has become critically dangerous. I have taken my vehicle to two Honda dealers within the first 10,000 miles. I explained the problem and both dealers said the exact same thing. "Yes, we hear this from all the customers with that transmission. It's normal and nothing can be done to correct it." They did nothing further for it. Since the dealer made no diagnosis of it the manufacturer will not address it. I experienced this issue from the very first day of ownership and there are no warnings.

The Emission Control System error keeps coming on and going off. This time (08/22/21) van stopped while I was driving it. The Honda Darcars in Bowie, MD has stated they will not look at the van and they can't diagnosis the problem without the system error being displayed on the van when it is brought in for service. No, the van has not been inspected yet. The Emission Control System error light comes and has come on several times, but it keeps going back off. As, mentioned before the Honda Darcars in Bowie, MD has previously stated they will not look at the van. I've contacted the Honda Corporation prior to this incident to complain about the dealer not wanting to look at the van.

As I was driving I all of sudden heard a loud bang and the sunroof/moon roof whatever it is called exploded , glass had shattered for no reason at all. I was less than 2 miles from my house when it happened, I pulled over saw the glass was broken, then came home, tried to cover with plastic as rain was coming, then I took it to the local Honda dealer as our weather forecast calls for rain , they said it is probably not covered under warranty- but it has to be as sunroofs should not explode while driving

We were leaving a car dealership to head home, my husband put our toddler in his car seat and after doing the pinch test, pulled on the chest buckle to make sure it was tight enough. When he pulled the chest buckle, it loosened both harness belts. We attempted the same scenario over 20 times and each time you could pull on the chest clip and retract both harness belts. Without pushing the button to retract. Nothing is stuck in the car seat as our child doesn't eat or drink in his seat. We uninstalled and reinstalled, opened the seat, etc and there is no issue that we could correct. Our son's life was in danger driving home last night. If we were to have gotten in an accident, the force of the crash would have jolted his body forward and loosened the harness.

Power sliding door on the right has failed to close. It will close almost all the way and the re-open back up. It has to be closed manually. The problem has been reported and fixed altogether 4 times but the problem has never been resolved. The service dates were 1) Jan 15, 2020 2) July 7, 2020 3) May 13, 2021 and 4) July 21, 2021. It would work once or twice after fixing and go back to the malfunction stage. We need to use the car and are not able to take it back every time it happens. The services were conducted at Ourisman Honda, 4800 Bethesda Ave., Bethesda, MD 20814 Tel. 301-656-1000.

I am reporting a very strange occurrence with my 2019 Honda Odyssey mini-van. I was driving on Tuesday evening and it was very foggy and I was approaching one of those large metal plates they put over a trench they dig in the road when they do construction (it covers the trench) and my car started flashing "brake" like it does sometimes when it thinks a car is in front of it. Typically, this flashes occasionally when a car gets too close, but then goes away as long as the car moves out of the way. This time, there was no car, just an open foggy road and this large metal plate on the road. However, as I got closer to the metal plate, suddenly my brakes fully locked up and the vehicle went into an emergency full stop. I was pushing on the accelerator but it would not go and the vehicle came to a complete and sudden stop. Thankfully no one was behind me, or I would have gotten into an accident. Then the vehicle started to move again and has been totally fine since. But, what is this all about? It seems the emergency braking mode kicked in but it should not have, the road was wide open and the only thing unusual was a large metal plate covering some hole in the road.

Driver side mirror shakes a lot when driving to the point that is very difficult to focus when you trying to look back when changing lanes or just as spot check.

Our 2019 Honda Odyssey transmission failed while driving my kids in early 2020. The minivan was towed to Grappone Honda in Concord, NH and the transmission was replaced. The new transmission now jerks and stutters particularly at low speeds (20-40 MPH). I am afraid it is going to fail again and place me or my family at risk for being in an accident. I took the minivan in for service on January 6th of this year and was told that the transmission was working fine. This transmission is clearly not working correctly and I am concerned we will be in an accident.

I had new brakes put on my car my brakes for less 12,000 miles ago. I took my car back in today my front left brake is cracked and the caliper was blue indicating it was getting extremely hot. I have taken my vehicle in three times for an issue with the radio because I can hear others talking but they cannot hear me. The radio has not work since I bought the car. Also, there are times when I push the gas that the car stalls for a few seconds I am very dissatisfied with the price I paid for this car and all the issues I’ve had

AUTO EMERGENCY BREAKING: Vehicle OFTEN engages emergency breaking at highway speeds when a vehicle is slightly ahead, in a different lane, and brakes while exiting the highway, and there is no danger or no vehicles directly in front of this vehicle. Other vehicles following behind me have to manually (or automatically as well) brake accordingly and this creates both a nuisance and dangerous situation. Speed Control / Transmission: Vehicle has moved forward while in "Reverse", often "surges" in speed while for a brief moment while shifting, has moved/lurched when starting the engine. THe instance of moving forward while in reverse caused a near miss in hitting another vehicle. The surging, in particular on downhills, causes the vehicle to accelerate slightly.

2019 ODYSSEY REVERSE CAMERA HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES WILL WORK ON NEXT VEHICLE START, SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW DAYS. REPORTED TO HONDA DEALER PRIOR TO RECALL IN JUNE 2020. HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 11 MONTHS FOR RECALL REPLACEMENT PART AND I AM TOLD OVER AND OVER THAT REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ETA IS AVAILABLE. ALSO HAVE TROUBLE WITH CROSS TRAFFIC SENSORS, DEALER UNABLE TO TELL ME IF THIS RELATED.

THE SCREEN ON MY VEHICLE GOES BLACK AND SHOWS "NETWORK COMMUNICATION LOST" AT RANDOM. THE SPEAKERS START MAKING A CRACKLING AND STATIC SOUND AT RANDOM AS WELL. THE SYSTEM WILL REBOOT OVER AND OVER. YOU CANNOT USE THE REARVIEW BACKUP CAMERA DURING THIS REBOOTING AND TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF DOES NOT MAKE IT START WORKING AGAIN.

GOING 25MPH. STEERING WHEEL SHOOK THEN DASH READ IN BLACK "BRAKE" WITH ORANGE BACKGROUND. VAN BRAKED ON ITS OWN. NEAREST CAR WAS 75 FEET AWAY.

THERE ARE 2 ISSUES, POSSIBLY RELATED. FIRST OF ALL, WARNING FOR COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARED AND THEN THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WENT BLANK.THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. IN THE SECOND PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED, A WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF (TOO QUICKLY TO DETERMINE WHAT IT SAID) AND THEN THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL ON IT'S OWN. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION IN BOTH OCCURRENCES.

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SCREEN BECOMES DEAD WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THEN, IT DOES NOT COME BACK EVEN AFTER RESTARTING A CAR.

HIGHWAY DRIVING STRAIGHT ON LEVEL GROUND AT 70MPH. HIT GAS TO CHANGE LANES AND VAN SLOWED TO 55MPH BEFORE IT PICKED UP SPEED AGAIN. 1300 MILES LATER ON SAME TRIP DRIVING 60 MPH UP A SMALL INCLINE HIT GAS AND VAN SLOWED DOWN TO 45MPH BEFORE IT PICKED UP SPEED AGAIN. TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. 36,485 MILES ON VAN WHEN FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED.

TRANSMISSION IS SLOW TO GET INTO FIRST GEAR. THERE IS A NOTICEABLE AND SIGNIFICANT DELAY WHEN GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND PRESSING THE GAS TO GO QUICKLY. THIS OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY BEFORE THE ENGINE WARMS UP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY ITS JUST HOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW AND HAS PERSISTED TIL NOW WITH THOUSANDS OF MILES ON THE VAN.

THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION JERKS AND BANGS WHILE MOVING. DRIVING FROM SLOW SPEED THE CAR JERKS AND STALLS. AT HWY SPEEDS THE CAR BANGS VERY HARD - IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS BEING BUMPED. WE THOUGHT IT STALLED AT HWY SPEED AFTER IT BANGED VERY HARD. HONDA SERVICE SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING CAR FOR 2.5 YEARS - AND THE ISSUES ARE GETTING MORE FREQUENT AND HARDER.

- MEDIA/AUDIO MULTIPURPOSE SCREEN FREEZES CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF BACKUP CAMERA (WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY) - OCCASIONAL DELAY OF BACKUP CAMERA ACTIVATION (WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY) - CABIN AND SPEED CONTROL AND FUNCTIONS MALFUNCTION AND FAIL (WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY) - SLIDING DOORS FAIL TO OPEN COMPLETELY (WHILE STATIONARY) - STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS FAIL (WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY)

AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSING WIPERS EQUIPPED WITH CERTAIN MODELS DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY TAMPERING VISIBILITY IN RAIN/SNOW. IT FUNCTIONS IRRADICABLY, WIPING TOO FAST WHEN THERE IS VERY LITTLE RAIN OR CONVERSELY, NOT WIPING ENOUGH WHEN THERE'S A DOWNPOUR. ADJUSTING SENSITIVITY LEVELS KNOB DID NOT AFFECT ANYTHING.

THE NON-POWER TAILGATE ON MY 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY EX ONLY OPENS TO, A HEAD BASHING, ABOUT 5 FT 10 IN. ME, MY WIFE, AND MY 13-YEAR DAUGHTER REPEATEDLY HIT OUR HEADS ON THE LIFTGATE. THE 2019-2021 TRIMS WITH POWER LIFTGATE OPEN HIGHER THAN 6FT 2 INCHES. ALSO, PRIOR GENERATIONS (PRE-2019) OF HONDAY ODYSSEY LIFTAGTES OPENED HIGHER THAN 6 FT. WITH OUR CURRENT 2019 EX TRIM ME, MY WIFE, AND OUR 13-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER ALL HAVE TO DUCK EVERY TIME WE LOAD/UNLOAD THE TRUNK. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S NORMAL FOR THE EX LIFTGATE TO OPEN ONLY 5FT 10IN OR SO. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA CORPORATE AFTER I, AGAIN, HIT MY HEAD (WITH SCARS AND PHOTOS TO PROVE IT). HONDA CALLED ME AND SAID THAT IT IS NORMAL. I OWNED SEVERAL CARS BEFORE, HONDA AND OTHER BRANDS, AND NEVER EVER HAD AN ISSUE HURTING MY HEAD ON THE LIFTGATE. I AM 6FT 1IN. THIS ISSUE IS AN INNJURY HAZARD. HONDA NEEDS TO ADMIT TO THIS AS EITHER AN ENGINEERING OR DESIGN OVERSIGHT, OR A BAD DECISION, WITH THE NON-POWER EX TRIM LIFTGATE. THE POWER LIFTGATE TRIMS (MORE EXPENSIVE) DO OPEN HIGHER THAN 6 FT, SO CLEARLY IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I ALSO CHECKED THE 2021 ODYSSEY MODELS TODAY AT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP - HONDA DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE: THE EX NON-POWER LIFTGATE STILL OPENS AT A SIMILAR 5'10'' WHILE THE MORE EXPENSIVE EX-L POWER LIFTGATE OPENS BEYOND 6'3''. PLEASE HELP ME AND MANY OTHER EX TRIM OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. A LONG CONVERSATION HERE: HTTPS://WWW.ODYCLUB.COM/THREADS/PROBLEM-WITH-OPENING-HEIGHT-OF-TAILGATE-ON-2019-

MY CHILDREN AND I ARE WHERE ON OUR WAY HOME ON THE THE HIGHWAY, WHEN OUR ODESSY VAN SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AS I WAS DRIVING(65 SPEED LIMIT). IT WENT FROM DRIVING TO GOING TO PARK AND SHUTTING DOWN, EVERYTHING WAS FLICKERING AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AND WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS. I GET PUSHING THE STAR BUTTON AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON UNTIL A FEW MINUTES LATER, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AND HORRIBLY AS I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.

INSIDE PANEL OF SLIDING DOOR KEEPS POPPING OFF. THIS OBSTRUCTS OPENING AND CLOSING OF DOOR. SOMETIMES THE PANEL IS SO FAR DISENGAGED THAT THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM TBE OUTSIDE DUE TO CONTACT WITH THE BODY OF THE VAN. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAS HAD NUMEROUS UNSUCCCESSFUL REPAIRS MADE BY THE DEALER.

WATER KEEPS LEAKING IN THE TRUNK. EVERYTIME IT RAINS THERE IS A PUDDLE IN THE TRUNK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WELL OVER 15 TIMES AND AMERICAN HONDA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS BEING AS RECALL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ALL OVER THE FORUM AND REDDIT AS WELL. I AM NOT THE FIRST ONE THAT HAS FACED THIS ISSUE.

EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, DRIVING UPHILL AND CHANGING GEARS AT LOW SPEEDS. HERE ARE THE SPECIFICS: SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED AND VIOLENT SHAKING AND JERKING (COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS 'JUDDERING' OR 'SHUDDERING') HESITATION WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL SURGING, CLUNKING OR HARD 'DOWNSHIFTING' ALSO AFTER A RECENT RECALL SERVICE DONE ON THE DOORS, I DID NOT NOTICE ANY CHANGE, THE DOOR DOES NOT RESPOND WELL UPON PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE, SOMETIMES IT NEEDS TO BE PULLED UPON MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOOR TO OPEN.

SUNROOF GET POPPED UP 2 TIMES IN 3MONTHS, THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY MEMBER! WHEN I REPORT TO DEALERSHIP AND HONDA ! SEEMS THEY DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAD POLICE REPORT SHOW THERE IS NO OBJECT HIT TO BODY AND IT'S JUST GLASS GET BROKE BY ITSELF WHEN DRIVE IN HIGHWAY !! IT'S VERY SCARY TO RIDE HONDA ODYSSEY 2019

DVD PLAYER WILL NOT PLAY MOVIES. DVD PLAYER GETS EXTREMELY HOT. AUDIO THROUGHOUT ENTIRE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A CONSTANT SNAPPING/CRACKLE NOISE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. PROBABLY DUE TO A PINCHED WIRE IN A HARNESS NEAR INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN OVER 35,000 MILES. SPENT $40,000 FOR A NEW VAN AND WITHIN FIRST YEAR WE NEED TO SPEND OUR MONEY TO REPAIR THEIR MISTAKE. SHAMEFUL.

THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND A KEYLESS START PROBLEM MESSAGE APPEARED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE BACK UP CAMERA WOULD NOT DISPLAY CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V438000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION). PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

BRAKES LOCKED WHEN I HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY BECAUSE DRIVER IN FRONT STARTED AND THEN STOPPED. UNABLE TO ADVANCE VEHICLE. TAPPING BRAKES DID NOT RELEASE THEM. REQUIRED THAT I PUMP BRAKE PEDDLE WITH FORCE. CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE I WAS ADVANCING FROM A LEFT TURN LANE AND WAS STUCK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STATE HWY.

A WARNING FOR COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM APPEARED AND THEN THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WENT BLANK. PREVIOUSLY HAS HAPPENED, AND AT THAT TIME WE ALSO LOST OUR POWER STEERING.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, THE HEAD UNIT MALFUNCTIONS AND STAYS ON, ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING USED FOR APPLE CAR PLAY. IT HAS LEFT US STRANDED AND HAD TO BE TOWED ONCE, TWO OTHER TIMES, JUMPED AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES. BETWEEN 20-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DISENGAGES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, LOSES POWER, THEN 'CLUNKS' BACK INTO GEAR. IT MAKES THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS UNSTEADY, AND CAUSES UNANTICIPATED SLOW DOWNS AND SPEED UPS. ADULT PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE HAVE YELLED OUT IN CONFUSION OVER THE LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, IT SOMETIMES HESITATED TO GO INTO FIRST GEAR, AND THEN 'CLUNKS' INTO FIRST, EXPERIENCED AS A 'NEUTRAL DROP' AS IF ONE IS DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. OVERALL, THE TRANSMISSION IS CLUNKY, AND LEADS TO UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENTS, UNSTEADY FEEDBACK, AND EXTREME DISCOMFORT AND WORRY.

CAR ACCELERATES OR BUCKS WHEN CHANGING GEARS WHILST DRIVING. RETURNED CAR TO HONDA GARAGE TWICE AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO FAULT UNLESS ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. CAR HAS ONLY 14,000 MILES, FRONT TIRES HAVE WORN PREMATURELY AND CAR SHAKES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES.

FUEL CAP NOT CLOSING PROPERLY, SAFETY ISSUE MAY ARISE. MANY CUSTOMERS MAY HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM

WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY THE SPEEDOMETER AND CENTER INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM CRASHED, WENT BLACK, AND BEGAN TO RESTART SHORTLY AFTER. WHILE REBOOTING THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE GEAR CHANGING. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND HAD TO BE TOWED PER THE DEALERS RECOMMENDATION FOR SAFETY.

INFORMATION CENTER CUTS IN AND OUT. SOMETIMES THE WHOLE SCREEN IS BLACK, NO BACKUP CAMERA, NO NOTHING! IT LOCKS UP, CAN DIAL THE PHONE, OR GO BETWEEN OTHER OPTIONS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR NOW.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 24 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY INTERMITTENTLY. A LOUD POP IS HEARD AND THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION OFTEN BY MANY CUSTOMERS, BUT THAT HONDA SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE ISSUE WASN'T APPARENT FOR THE FIRST 15,000 MILES, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS ABOUT 1 OR 2 TIMES EVERY TIME I TAKE THE CAR OUT. THIS HAPPENS TYPICALLY WHEN YOU START FROM 0, EASE UP TO ABOUT 24 TO 26 MPH, TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS FOR A COUPLE SECONDS, THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. IT WILL HESITATE, THEN POP/LUNGE. NOT EVERY TIME THOUGH. THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE IS MENTIONED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN FLORIDA AND ALSO IN NUMEROUS MESSAGE BOARDS ONLINE.

BRAKES: SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION AT 20K MILES. ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON A STEEP DECLINE. ELECTRICAL: INFOTAINMENT UNIT SHOWS NO AUDIO AVAILABLE AT RANDOM TIMES. TICKING OR "SLEET HITTING THE WINDOW" SOUND FROM DASH SPEAKERS. THIS IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. SEEMS TO COME AND GO.

WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE PICTURE FROM THE BACKUP CAMERA FROZE AND WENT BLANK. THIS HAS CAUSED A LIGHT ACCIDENT WITH BUMPER DAMAGE. BASED ON THE ACTIVE RECALLS, THIS ACCIDENT MAY HAVE HAPPENED TO TO A KNOWN DEFECT.

THE VEHICLE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM CRASHED EVEN AFTER THE SAFETY RECALL. THIS MADE THE SPEEDOMETER GO OUT FOR A SHORT TIME, AND COMPLETELY DISABLE THE RADIO, REAR CAMERA, RES, AND MOST USER CONTROLS. THE SYSTEM ADDITIONALLY STAYED ON AFTER THE CAR WAS POWERED OFF, AND WOULD ONLY TURN OFF BY PULLING THE FUSE!

ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WARNING CAME ON. STEER WHEEL LOCKED ALMOST CAUSING HEAD ON CRASH. 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 2 WEEKS WITH THIS VEHICLE.
