This Problem Across All Years
The front right sensor goes off randomly. Sometimes all day long for days, then nothing for a week or 2 then back to it. Various lengths of time, usually stressfully long times, with nothing aroundcausing stress and making fucus hard. It started a few months after getting the van. We cleaned it, had the dealer inspect it and no one has ever figured out why we have to live with this blaring warning alarm. The dash says object warning with it and if i close that out nothing stops the alarm but putting it in park which I can't do on the interstate or in pickup line at school

The present complaint alleges as follows: 1. Honda has a defective design in the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) of all Honda Odysseys, models 2018-2023. 2. Namely, Honda has placed the RADAR behind the large HONDA emblem on the front grille. This causes the radar to give a "RADAR OBSTRUCTED" warning, which disables all Advanced Driver Assistance Systems in the car (Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning). 3. The "RADAR OBSTRUCTED" warning cannot be reset by restarting the vehicle or disconnecting the battery, requiring recalibration of the RADAR at the cost of $800 each time since it takes several hours to do (per Dealership). 4. The official Honda Odyssey Forum online has countless complaints on the same issue without resolution by Honda. 5. Honda has acted in bad-faith towards their customers since this defect impacts the vehicle's advanced safety features for which buyers incur additional expenses, endangering the lives of passengers. 6. Honda has acted in bad-faith towards their customers by designing a system that requires continuous and substantial expenditures without resolution because it is an engineering problem, i.e., the placement of the radar behind the large, thick plastic H emblem obstructs the radar. 7. I hereby ask that the NHTSA investigate this issue and order Honda to offer a solution in the form of a RECALL that permanently addresses the problem.

I have a 2023 Honda Odyssey van. The van has been modified for me to drive from my wheelchair. The steering wheel has been locking up eight times when driving. It won’t out let me go straight or turn left or right. This happens when I come to a stop. It happened twice when driving. The wheelchair modifications company southern mobility said they fixed many times but it still have the steering wheel lock up. Now they are telling me it’s the Honda’s fault. Honda said it’s the van modification fault. Honda said they can look at it for $150 a hour. I am very frustrated and very concerned. I am in a wheelchair, my daughter is in a wheelchair, and I need to take my mom to dr appointments. I feel like my life is in despair l

While driving 35-40 mph, the car started acting strange, shaking and multiple alerts began appearing. No cars were around me and I was able to get the car over to the shoulder quickly. (Mileage 35,483. Owned car 20 months) Messages appearing: Electric Parking Brake Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Emissions System Problem, Electric Parking Brake Problem, Electric Power Steering Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist Problem, CMBS Problem. I turned car off and on, multiple times, hoping it was a fluke, but car was shaking and messages kept appearing. I called Honda Roadside & car towed to dealership. Was told internal failure of oil pump was the problem. Techline reported Multiple vehicles with same codes and same motor have had the same problem. Replacement of spool valve, valve cover gasket & valve was the fix. This may be a future recall. Car drives fine now after being repaired!

HONDA CORPORATION IS NOT COMPENSATING DEALERS FAIRLY FOR THIS SIGNIFICANT RECALL ON HONDA ODYSSEYS. THIS RECALL INVOLVES DISASSEMBLING MUCH OF THE INTERIOR TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE COMMUNICATION CABLES. TO DO IT CORRECTLY AND REASSEMBLE THE VEHICLE CORRECTLY THE WORK COULD TAKE 8 HOURS OR MORE. BECAUSE HONDA OF AMERICA IS COMPENSATING DEALERS FOR MUCH LESS THAN THE CORRECT WORK TIME, TO DO THE WORK, HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR REPAIRS. HONDA'S UNFAIR COMPENSATION TO DEALERS IS CAUSING OTHER MECHANICAL ISSUES ON HONDA ODYSSEY VEHICLES. On another note Honda Odyssey vans have some defective blind spot sensors. When we merge onto the Interstate (if we do forget to use our turn signal..... it does happen at times) the van goes (on its own) into emergency braking mode (when you are accelerating to highway speeds), causing us to almost CAUSE several Interstate accidents..... because of this SAFETY feature. These vans are very unsafe.

The problems occurred to a brand new 2023 Odyssey only few days (roughly 8 days) after purchase. I was driving the vehicle on road in my community, I came to a STOP sign and stopped, then I was about to turn right but found it was kind of difficult to turn, at same time I heard the sound of crack coming from underneath the steering wheel. I felt that I almost lost control of the vehicle if I did stop at STOP sign, anyway I was able to turn the vehicle as the speed was low and continued to drive slowly. Shortly, several warning icons lighted up on dashboard, including "Auto Engine Idle Stop System Problem", "Lane Keeping Assist Problem", "Adaptive Cruise Control Problem", "Charging System Problem". After that, I drove the vehicle to dealer as soon as I can and dropped the vehicle for diagnosis and repair. It has been 6 days since the vehicle was dropped at dealer and has not been repaired, I got email from service manager saying that the gauge control module was fault.

Since purchase the blind spot warning won't operate or goes off on its own. No audible warning when it is chosen. Purchased vehicle on a Friday, and returned Saturday and Monday. Both techs replicated the problem but no idea of a fix yet.
