LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The windshield monocular camera is completely non functional causing several dashboard errors to appear. It very disheartening as this is such a known issue within the Honda Odyssey community and very expensive to replace and get calibrated after replacement. This should be recalled since so many are having this issue. Clearly this is a fault of Honda. It seems that the camera can get too hot being in the windshield and just doesn't work. A big reason why I wanted this vehicle was because of these sensors. Now I can't use them.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Recently had the fuel pump recall completed. Within days had intermittent dash emissions light come on then go away. Then a few weeks later, while driving, my odyssey put itself into N and I coasted to a stop. It would not allow me to put the car into P or anything. I had to put the emergency brake on in order to not roll forward. The van at that point would not shift into any gear. It was towed to dealership and I was given the following 2K dollar repair needs. PROBLEM. ADVISE. [Other]: TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) AND TRANSMISSION SUB-HARNESS Needs replaced.

I was unable to utilize my cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure or any of the features that is related to the Honda sensing program. I was told by the Honda dealership that it was the camera refocusing and continue to refocus which leads for it to overheat.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
t approximately 105 000 miles, while driving my 2018 Honda Odyssey, multiple advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) malfunctioned simultaneously. The following warning lights and messages appeared on the dashboard: LKAS (Lane Keeping Assist System) ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) Auto High-Beam Headlights Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation This occurred without any prior symptoms, and the systems have remained nonfunctional since the initial incident. I did not observe any physical damage, sensor obstruction, or weather-related cause at the time. The car was in regular use and had not recently undergone service or modification. Safety Concern: These systems are critical to safe vehicle operation — especially at highway speeds — and are part of the vehicle’s integrated safety design. Their sudden failure without clear cause presents a serious safety concern for the driver, passengers, and others on the road. Troubleshooting / Diagnosis So Far: Battery is original and may be aging, but the issue persisted after a jumpstart. No recent accidents or damage. Online research shows that many other 2018–2020 Odyssey owners have reported similar simultaneous system failures, which may indicate a pattern or a design flaw. Request for Action: I respectfully request the following: That Honda investigate this incident and advise if it is part of a known issue or Technical Service Bulletin (TSB). If applicable, provide warranty or goodwill coverage for diagnosis and repair. Consider this complaint as part of broader data regarding a potential system-wide electrical/software defect.

ENGINE
Short Summary (for “Briefly Describe the Problem”) Sudden catastrophic engine failure — engine threw a rod at ~85,000 miles despite proper maintenance and fluid levels. Detailed Description (for “Provide Details of the Incident”) While driving, the vehicle began making a loud noise similar to a helicopter taking off. I immediately took it to a certified mechanic, who diagnosed that the engine had “thrown a rod,” requiring a full engine replacement. The vehicle has approximately 90,000 miles, has been regularly serviced per manufacturer recommendations, and all fluids were at proper levels at the time of failure. There were no warning lights or prior signs of mechanical issues. My mechanic and I contacted Honda to determine if NHTSA Recall 23V-751 applied to my vehicle; Honda confirmed it did not. Despite this, the symptoms appear consistent with known defects covered by that recall. Honda has declined to provide assistance or repair. The sudden and complete engine failure under normal driving conditions, despite proper maintenance, suggests a potential manufacturing or design defect that poses a serious safety risk.
