FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
All of a sudden, I received multiple warnings that the forward collision warning system, lane keeping assistance system, automatic emergency braking system, adaptic cruise control, were not working. After looking for this part (front camera: 36160-THR-A11-M1), I see that it is very expensive to purchase and install. More importantly, I have come to learn that this part is failing on my 2019 Odysseys. I feel that the manufacturer should be held responsible if this is such a widespread problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The rear portion of the vehicle is leaking water through the seams and cause major issues to the power tailgate control module. Water is infiltrating through either the seams of the trunk or side panels and right onto the module that controls the power tailgate. I’ve replaced the module at 95,000 miles, and now within 4000 miles is having the exact same issue. I can see water leaking inside right onto the electrical components that are behind the drivers side rear panel.

Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar Internal Electronic Failure diagnosed with U3000-49 error code in my 2019 Honda Odyssey. The problem has been confirmed by the Honda service center and reason stated is low heat resistance. Coat of repair is approx $2000 and this is purely due to low heat tolerance levels of the Honda component

Other/I am not sure
There is a plastic cap holding in a metal bar on the underside of the car seat that came off. The metal bar could potentially become a projectile. I’m unsure of the purpose of the metal bar. If it is for latching into the base, structure integrity, or seatbelt. The car seat has not been inspected by the manufacturer has requested it be shipped back and has provided a shipping label, however I have to acquire a new car seat to use in the meantime first and find a box that will accommodate the car seat. Normal everyday use caused the part to come off. I’m not sure at what time it happened or where the plastic cap is.

ENGINE
There is a delay in acceleration. When at stop light, stop sign, or moving forward after backing out of driveway, we are experiencing a 2-4 second delay in acceleration after putting pressure on the gas pedal. This has caused scary incidents when trying to turn left at stop lights or stop signs. When talking to Honda dealers, they have not been helpful in determining the cause of this.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
Multiple safety systems on my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite have simultaneously failed, including LKAS, ACC, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Auto High-Beam Headlights, and other driver-assist features. The dashboard displays warnings for nearly every safety-related system, and the vehicle disables these features without warning. **Detailed Description of the Problem:** Whenever I start my vehicle, multiple error messages are displayed related to the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation, Auto Headlights, and other safety features. These warnings appear together and persist even after restarting the vehicle. Apparently, this issue is widespread among 2018–2020 Honda Odyssey owners, with many reporting the same cluster of system failures. The problem appears to be related to a malfunction in the vehicle’s electrical system, sensors/ cameras, or control modules. In my case, the failures occur without any external damage, weather event, or driver action that would explain the sudden loss of safety functionality. When these systems fail, the vehicle disables critical safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, and automatic headlights. This creates a significant safety risk, especially at highway speeds or in low‑visibility conditions. **Frequency:** The issue occurs whenever the vehicle is started, affecting my driving everyday.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Five days after getting back our car from the Honda dealership where they “fixed” the two recalls all warning lights came on and not turn off. Steering, breaking, accelerating all are difficult. There were no issues prior to the dealership “fixing” the recalls. The car was just at our mechanic for brakes and they check our engine, fluids etc every time. There were no prior issues.

The ACC is failing in the car. It is due to a faulty radar sensor located behind the rear view mirror that according to the dealership gets to hot it the sun and begins to deteriorate.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was commuting home, about 30 minutes into the drive, all of the dashboard and radio went blank for a few seconds. It came back on and the break light, anit-collision, lane departure, lights were all flashing. It did this 2 more times in the over the next 5 minutes. I was concerned for my safety because I wasn't sure if my breaks and all the other things were working propoerly. I didn't know how fast I was going or if my car was going to stall on the highway. I see that a recall was issued by honda yesertday, not for my car model, but a similar issue (a software bug can cause the instrument panel and rear-view camera to go blank). It has not yet been inspected by a repair person. There wre not any warning lights prior to this happening.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I own a 2019 Honda Odyssey with approximately 100,000 miles. The power tailgate began malfunctioning suddenly. The rear hatch repeatedly unlatches and beeps as if it is opening even while the vehicle is in motion. After inspection, the dealership stated the tailgate control module failed due to water intrusion into the rear hatch area. I was told this is a known issue affecting multiple model years of Honda Odyssey vehicles (2018–2021), but there is currently no recall. This malfunction creates a potential safety hazard because the tailgate may unlatch unexpectedly while driving and causes continuous warning alarms and electrical issues. Owners are being required to pay for repairs caused by what appears to be a design defect allowing water to damage the tailgate module. I am requesting that this issue be investigated for a potential safety recall.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
The front monocular camera assembly (Honda part number 36160-THR-A81) on my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite failed and is available for inspection upon request. When the failure occurs, the vehicle displays multiple warning messages including “Collision Mitigation System Problem,” “Adaptive Cruise Control Problem,” “Lane Keeping Assist Problem,” “Road Departure Mitigation System Problem,” and “Auto High Beam Problem.” As a result, several driver-assist safety systems are disabled, including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and road departure mitigation, which reduces the vehicle’s active safety features and increases the risk of a collision. The warnings appear simultaneously on the dashboard while driving and remain active until the vehicle is restarted. The condition has been reproduced multiple times and has been confirmed during diagnostic inspection by a service technician. The camera failures are very common and are a design defect. The design was changed in later years but there was not a recall for the 2019 models. This is a very expensive fix and should be covered by a recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Multiple possibly related issues: 1) Power Lift gate (rear hatch) will on occasion close unexpectedly and can trap a person between the hatch and the back bumper of the car. Very dangerous for children and for handicap adults who cannot move quickly (I have had both have issues with mine). (Has consistently occurred since purchase, dealership refuses to acknowledge/correct issue when it was under warranty). 2) Random electrical problems (various sensors malfunctioning, sliding doors unable to open/close, power lift gate would not close/latch). Occurred twice (Jun 2023, Feb 2026).

ENGINE
While driving, the check engine light appeared and the vehicle began running rough and hesitating during acceleration. The engine experienced a noticeable loss of power, which created a dangerous situation in traffic and nearly caused an accident when attempting to accelerate with surrounding vehicles. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealership for diagnosis. The dealership confirmed a failed fuel injector on cylinder number four and a catalyst efficiency fault code (P0420). The dealership explained that the failed injector may have caused improper fuel delivery and contributed to damage to the catalytic converter. The dealer also indicated that similar fuel injector failures are addressed in Honda Service Bulletin 21-010 for this model year. However, my vehicle was not included in the VIN range covered by the bulletin even though it is a 2019 model and uses the same fuel injector part number referenced in the bulletin. The issue was confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership and the recommended repair was replacement of the fuel injector kit and catalytic converter. Honda corporate declined to fully cover the repair costs despite the similarity to the known issue described in the service bulletin. This engine malfunction created a loss of power while driving, which could present a safety hazard in traffic.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Both rear power sliding doors on my 2019 Honda Odyssey failed at approximately 74,000 miles. The sliding door motors can be heard running, but the doors do not move and cannot be opened normally. The doors are available for inspection upon request. This failure prevents rear passengers from safely exiting the vehicle. In an emergency situation, this could prevent evacuation and creates a serious safety risk, especially when transporting children or passengers seated in the rear. A dashboard warning message related to the sliding doors appeared at the time of failure. The condition occurs consistently on both doors. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Honda dealer, who confirmed a malfunction in the sliding door system and provided a repair estimate. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. This appears to be a significant sliding door system failure affecting both rear doors simultaneously.

Water is pooling in trunk of van. There appears to be a failed body weld or seam sealant in the trunk area. Vehicle has not been in any incidents since purchased new. Spoke to a service adviser for Honda and they indicated a seam sealant may have failed as well. Have searched internet and found this is occurring frequently with this model.

AIR BAGS
On 2/27/25 while driving my 2019 Honda Odyssey on the hwy the passenger side curtain airbags deployed after running over a pothole in the road. This frightened my wife and may it very difficult to see to pull over safely on the side of highway. There were no passengers in the car when it happened, no injuries or collision following g the deployment. We were very lucky. Police officer would not provide report because accident did not occur. Officer sated he had never seen airbag deployment cause by pot hole. My wife’s safety and the safety of others on the road that day were definitely at risk due to this unannounced airbag deployment. We did take to dealer and we were never given explanation of why it occurred. Damage caused by airbag deployment cost over $8,000 dollars in repairs and my wife still does not feel comfortable driving this vehicle. Now a year later we are experiencing electrical issues in the vehicle on the passenger side with power windows and locks. We feel that it is related to incident. Original Repairs were completed by dealer but they are now looking into electrical issues. There were no warnings or light prior to deployment.
