2/5/2020 i was traveling at highway speeds with moderate traffic, when the main display screen in my minivan started flashing error messages. the radio display screen was acting wacky also. the van started making a loud rapid 'click.click.click." type noise. i was trying to figure out what was happening, when i noticed that the display said "p" for park. i could not accelerate to merge out of traffic. it happened so fast and was so startling. i was able to coast and move over to the shoulder and stop the van. i turned off the ignition and started it back up and it drove normally. my husband took it to the dealership and they moved the toll tag sticker on the windshield and said it was interfering with the sensors. 2/6/2020 i was too scared to drive it, so my husband drove it. he was on the freeway and the same thing happened to him. it is currently at the dealership. the dealership now says it is loose connections at the battery. the noise it made was horrible and i'm concerned that there is physical damage to the vehicle. the van has just over 5,000 miles on it and was purchased in september 2019
Initially the vehicle would randomly turn off while driving, it was not the idle stop since it is deactivated before driving. the dealer eventually said it was the battery. then the infotainment system stopped working, the radio was replaced after a week of being at the dealer. now 3 weeks after repair, the infotainment system does not work. has a noise that comes out of the speakers like sparks, has a chemical smell, no res usage, no cabin watch or cabin talk. everything that made the elite trim desired does not work.
While driving on a trip at about 60 mph, the infotainment system stopped working, nothing was functional, including the back-up camera which i heavily rely on. this is a safety issue. in addition, once the vehicle was shut off, the infotainment system wouldn't turn off and started draining the battery. i ended up having to pull the fuse to get it to shut off, which is ver difficult to access. i have had this vehicle to the dealer, they say there is no fix currently available. i am not comfortable using the infotainment system at all in the vehicle, which was one of the main reasons for purchasing.
The navigation screen stays black. no backup camera, can't change the radio, use the phone or change air flow or get directions from the screen. some days it doesn't come on at all, others it comes on while driving. you never know, very frustrating. i feel lucky if it comes on when i first start the car. this is unacceptable in a brand new vehicle.
I purchased a new 2019 honda odyssey elite on 9/17/2019. i drove to work as usual, made sure all electricals (e.g., dome lights, headlights, etc.) were off, parked and alarmed my vehicle. car remained parked while i worked. after my shift, i tried to use the remote engine start, but noticed the car didn't start. i pressed the unlock button on key fob, but no response; the car remained locked. i tried to unlock via hondalink app, which displayed that car was unlocked. i attempted to open any car door, but they remained locked. i was left stranded in 94*f heat and no nearby shade. luckily my family weren't there or they would've also been left baking in the heat. i used the manual key to unlock the driver side door and got in. then tried to start the car but no response at all (i.e, no lights on the hud, lcd monitors, etc.). also tried unlocking other doors from inside; nothing worked. called honda roadside assistance & they sent someone to help. guy tried jump starting car, still nothing. said he even sent "direct current" to car, but absolutely no response; no lights of any kind, no access to unlock other doors or open windows. called honda roadside assistance again. they sent a tow truck to tow car to nearest dealership. tow driver arrived, but couldn't tow my car as there were cars parked in front & in back of my car. there was also no way for him to put the car into neutral due to the electronic shift feature. we looked in car manual for solution. about 2 hrs later, the driver discovered he was able to start car by using key fob to press the start/stop button. i drove to dealership & told them exactly what happened. said they would perform thorough inspection. it's been 1.5 days & they still don't know the problem. said they couldn't replicate problem. i'm scheduled to pick up my car today but am hesitant & afraid of being stranded with my family when travelling.
The infotainment system is defective. without warning the entire unit blackouts or locks up rendering it useless. this impacts navigation, all audio, the backup camera and bluetooth connectivity. the vehicle was purchased new in late may and has been returned 2 times for the same problem without resolve. it is going back a third time in the morning. we've provided screenshots and video to the dealer. this malfunction occurs while driving and is a major distraction for my wife and i particularly when you consider highway traffic conditions in houston metro. we've driven the vehicle without cellphones in the cabin vicinity and the malfunction still occurs.
Van has shut off while being driven, transmission jumps constantly at 24 mph, radio goes in and out constantly- have no audio 90% of the time, navigation rarely works, car play rarely works, bluetooth drops phone connection consistently, have had rear camera freeze multiple times
Infotainment system freezes causing battery to drain to zero when parked. radio stops, navigation stops, phone stops working, backup camera stops working. evidently a common problem because class action suit filed in march in california. took to dealer, they changed battery, told me it was fixed. froze again the next day. vehicle was in motion when system failed. the next morning car would not start because battery drained.this was on a federal highway. happened again after the battery was changed. *tr
While traveling at highway speed on the highway, the dashboard (including not but limited to speedometer, tachometer, fuel level, current gear, etc) went complete off momentarily and then restarted itself. after the dashboard came back, the dashboard flashed an error like "accident avoidance system problem" for a few seconds and then the system functions normally until it happened again. this has happened 3 times in the last 4 days. i couldn't get a picture of the issue due to the fact that it happened randomly with no clear indication that it was about to happen.
On july 2nd our vehicle wouldn't start. prior to this date the vehicle worked fine. we call honda roadside assistance and they came and jumped it. my wife let it idle for nearly 1 hour and turned it off. she returned an hour later only to find it was dead again. i decided to come home and jumped it and drove it down the hwy. while driving down the highway there was some vehicles swearving around some debris on the road and when i applied my brakes the vehicle lost power and i wasn't able to stear the vehicle fast enough and hit some of the debris. i let of the brake and the power came back on. i drove home turned the vehicle off and then tried to restart it again only to discover it was dead. i got out of my vehicle and inspected the front end which had minor scratches and cuts in the lower front driver's side bumper
Our 2019 odyssey started having problems shortly after we got it. i tried trouble shooting myself for awhile. finally started taking it to the dealership after 6 months of owning it and it's been there more times than i can count. it has electrical problems, bluetooth doesn't work, the infotainment system doesn't work properly. nobody can hear me when i talk to them through the blue tooth or apple car play. the popping in the dash board is awful and it sounds like the van is going to catch fire at any moment. they have done a dash harness and full body harness on our van with no success. these problems happen when driving and the popping is when the infotainment/radio/music is playing or not playing. it's a serious hazard.
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 honda odyssey. while driving various speeds, the contact noticed a strong fuel odor inside the cabin of the vehicle through the vents. when the failure occurred, the odor was detected for 72 hours. the contact also mentioned that the phone charger port in the rear of the vehicle overheated and caused the cell phone to also overheat. the vehicle was taken to honda west (7615 w sahara ave, las vegas, nv 89117, (800) 249-9504) where the contact was informed that the failure was a known issue, but the cause of the failure was unknown. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 13,658.
We were on a vacation 5 months after purchase and 40 minutes into our trip the entertainment system, to include audio and visual all turned off. we had to restart the entire care. repairs were supposedly made the incident continued to happen off and on for a few months. van was taken in on a thursday for repairs, advised it was fixed. the same error occurred again two days later.
Three hours away from home and the infotainment system went completely out. all of the safety features attached were off and we were unsure of the impact to other features. it would not turn off even after the car was off. it continued to drain the battery without anyway to turn it off. called honda support and roadside assistance and no one could help me or reassure my family that we were safe to drive the vehicle. three days later they had to connect two wires at the dealership to reset the system. appreciate this is a reoccurring issue but no one has given us details of what cause the issue or the overall impact on safety features.
Since i purchased this vehicle the headlights dim way down and sometimes change intensity greatly every single time the a/c compressor clutch engages and draws current. all lighting across every system in the vehicle dims way down as well. that is, interior illumination, instrument console and panel, exterior marker lights. all lighting dims when the compressor clutch engages. the local dealership has tried a few things as instructed by the manufacturer but the situation has not been corrected. while out on freeways at night following behind other vehicles, the driver will become annoyed in front thinking that i am purposefully flickering or flashing the headlights to encourage them to speed up or move out of the way. this can cause a dangerous situation. this situation has been present since the vehicle was purchased in november 2018 and remains.
I returned home from picking up my children from school, and the passenger door on the driver's side would not close. contacted dealership, they had no answer but to tow the vehicle to them. brand new, 6 days old honda odyssey elite 2019, power sliding door does not close electrically or manually. the vehicle was stationary. vehicle had to be towed back to the dealership.
Vehicles in motion on freeway and city roads. dash warning lights go haywire when driving. loss of of lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control while driving is a serious safety issues. all warning lights turn on. dealership reset the computer but issue not resolved. issue has been happening since october 2018. honda roseville automall dealership made repairs yesterday 12/27/18 by resetting computer. still did not fix problem.
