2019 Honda Odyssey Problems

All of the warning lights came on at the same time. The dealer says the internal front camera sensor has malfunctioned and has happened so much that the part is on back order.

Error with the front camera system without damage to the instrument.

We have Multipurpose Camera Failure. No damage or accidents. It just started failing. There are many reports of this and the camera is on back order with Honda. They are charging $2100 to fix it. The official Honda Odyssey Forum online has countless complaints on the same issue without resolution by Honda. 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. 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. I hereby ask that the NHTSA investigate this issue and order Honda to offer a solution in the form of a RECALL that permanent addresses the problem. Our experience after contacting Honda Corporate to get some help is this is a money maker for them.

Safety recall 23V-431 / Honda campaign 23-046 (EEL) for the MOST/FAKRA network was completed after I purchased this 2019 Honda Odyssey in May 2026. I did not notice popping or crackling during my brief pre-recall ownership. After several thousand miles following the recall repair, faint but distinct speaker crackling began on approximately 08/02/2026. The upper steering-column/meter trim disturbed during the recall procedure was also returned loose, raising concern about repair workmanship and possible routing or strain on the installed FAKRA service cables or splice boxes. The rearview camera has not yet failed, but its image and the center display depend on the same MOST ring; interruption of that network can remove the rearview image while reversing and reduce rearward visibility. The vehicle's stored MOST shutdown history contains several pre-purchase SUDDEN_SIGNAL_OFF events and multiple CRITICAL_UNLOCK events, so I cannot say the recall created the original network defect. However, the exact crackling warning symptom has now appeared despite completion of the recall. No new post-repair MOST shutdown event had been logged when I checked. The vehicle and recall-installed components are available for inspection. No dealer or independent shop has yet reproduced or confirmed this post-repair symptom. I request that NHTSA evaluate whether the 23V-431 remedy and its installation procedure adequately prevent continuing MOST/FAKRA interruptions and potential loss of the rearview-camera display.

Failed Component: Direct Fuel Injector Set. The components are currently on the vehicle and are available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: The failing fuel injectors create a severe engine air/fuel imbalance, which causes engine hesitation, engine stumbling during acceleration, and unpredictable power loss. This puts my family at high risk of a collision, particularly when merging onto highways, crossing busy intersections, or accelerating from a stop. Furthermore, dumping unburnt fuel into the exhaust risks overheating the catalytic converter, creating a potential fire hazard. Dealer Confirmation: Yes. The problem was confirmed by AutoNation Honda 365 in Memphis, TN, on [XXX] (Mileage: 83,452). Manufacturer Inspection: The vehicle was inspected by factory-trained technicians at an authorized Honda dealership. A case was opened with Honda Corporate, but they refused to cover the repair, stating my specific VIN batch was excluded from their warranty extension, despite suffering the exact same failure. Warning Lamps & Symptoms: An "Emissions System Problem" warning and the Check Engine Light illuminated on [XXX]. Incident Description & Cause: Honda is fully aware of this dangerous defect. They issued Service Bulletin 21-010, acknowledging that "debris from the high-pressure pump or the fuel injector machining process can cause internal wear or clogging" in 2018-2019 Odysseys. Following the TSB 21-010 protocol, the dealer pulled code P219A and performed a "Cylinder AF Test." My vehicle failed the test (Cylinder 3 running rich). The Honda technician’s official notes state: "Fail air fuel test need injector set internal failure." Honda extended the warranty to 10 years/150,000 miles for this known manufacturing defect, yet they are arbitrarily excluding my 2019 Odyssey, which has the exact identical internal failure documented by their own dealer. Honda's refusal to issue a full recall leaves all affected drivers at risk. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.

Codes are being detected that is associated with Service Bulletin 21-010 but my VIN # was not part of the service bulletin and I strongly believe it should be part of the service bulletin.

Hello, my 2019 Odyssey 3.5L V6 engine has a severe knocking noise/engine failure identical to Recall 23V-751, but my VIN was excluded. The car has only 81,100 miles and started the knocking out of no where a week ago. I had an independant mechanic take a look at it and he said the same thing that it was the connecting rod bearing and the knock was coming from the engine. I dont think it is fair that I should be held liable for an engine repair that is a factory fault and just becuase my vin number is not inlcuded. The vehicles oil was also just changed at the dealership prior to the knock starting. Please have this strongly considered to have HONDA cover this repair.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the cylinder #6 rod bearing was damaged, and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000.

With a 103,000 on the dash, engine experienced signs on slowing, check engine, abs, adaptive cruise, and steering faults amongst others . No lights prior to the bearing failing. The engine experienced rod bearing failure and left use stranded on the side of the highway. All maintenance was performed at dealership, towed back to dealership where upon inspection rod bearing completely fell apart. Vehicle is still at dealership where a 14,000 dollar engine was quoted.

Brought car into Honda of nanuet for lots of dashboard lights on. Was told that i need a airflow tube replaced. Milage was at 79048. Immediately after picking up car, same thing happened and was told that computer needs a reset. 2 months later same thing happened again and was told there is an internal error of Powertrain computer and needs to be replaced. Now milage is 81,147 and am being told that it is out of warranty and need to pay 1500+ to place.

Rear lift hatch has failed. Everytime when opening the trunk rear hatch door it refuses to stay open and comes back down closing. This closing happens even with resistance and would injure or kill a child. The trunk shuts unless significant force is out upon it to stay open in which case case it sags and does not remain open at normal height. This is a part failure and Honda should recall for safety and replace.

The passenger sliding door randomly will not close with close button. The door will get 1/2-2/3 closed and then re-open. This happens intermittently and under no particular circumstances. There is occasionally a "door problem" light that flashes on the dash while driving.

On 8.1.26, while operating my 2019 Honda Odyssey, the vehicle suffered a catastrophic, un-commanded automatic emergency braking event followed by a total failure of the brake-release fail-safe mechanisms. While driving in active traffic, the vehicle's forward-facing sensor system suffered a false-alarm trigger. Due to a severe design and component vulnerability, the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) switch suffered a simultaneous internal mechanical and electronic hardware failure. Because the EPB switch failed internally at the exact moment of the automatic braking event, the system failed to command a brake release. The vehicle’s wheels locked completely, leaving the vehicle completely immobilized in active traffic. This multi-system failure resulted in an immediate, life-threatening crash hazard. By random circumstance and the grace of God, a catastrophic rear-end collision was avoided, but this was a severe near-fatal safety event. A professional automotive diagnostic scan confirmed that the vehicle's computer retained 2 distinct fault incident codes documenting the internal hardware failure of the EPB switch. The dealership confirmed that the system provides absolutely no advance warning to the driver, and fails entirely "in the event," meaning the vehicle remains safe until it suddenly and unpredictably locks the brakes on the highway. The vehicle was repaired out-of-pocket for $297 to replace the defective switch. I am filing this complaint because an internal electronic switch failure must never result in an un-commanded, un-releasable wheel lockup while a vehicle is in motion. This indicates a fatal flaw in Honda's braking fail-safe architecture. This issue must be investigated immediately before it results in a future serious or fatal acciden.

While driving at approximately 22–25 mph in rainy conditions, my vehicle hit a pothole, causing immediate spontaneous deployment of the side curtain and passenger-seat airbags. No vehicle crash occurred. An independent Bosch Event Data Recorder (EDR) extraction logged an 11 mph longitudinal delta-V and recorded 0 ms for all SRS airbag deployment commands, confirming a system malfunction/glitch. Honda Corporate opened a safety case but has stalled response efforts while the vehicle remains in an un-repaired, unsafe condition. No warning lamps, or lights or messages were present before the incident.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH uphill, the vehicle struck a curb. The vehicle was able to drive over the curb, but the air bags deployed. The contact stated that there was no damage to the vehicle to cause the air bags to deploy. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V227000 (Air Bags); as a possible cause for the failure; however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Rear suspension coil spring snapped/broke in 2 while driving on freeway at 70 mph. Confirmed by independent service center and replaced with 2 OEM coil springs and MOOG sway bar links in order to make car drivable again. Springs are in my posession and available for inspection. NO warning lamps/messages or other symptoms prior to spring breaking.

I am reporting a safety concern involving the rear shock absorbers on my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite. At 60,852 miles, the rear shocks failed and caused a significant vehicle handling problem. While driving on the highway at speeds of 65–70 mph, the vehicle would experience sudden steering jerks when hitting bumps in the road. The steering wheel would twitch unexpectedly, and the vehicle would momentarily move to the left or right, creating a loss of stability and reducing driver confidence and control. This condition was especially concerning at highway speeds because it created the feeling that the vehicle could unexpectedly change direction when encountering road imperfections. I believe this presented a safety risk to myself, my passengers, and other motorists. The vehicle was inspected and repaired on XXX, at Matthews Honda in [XXX]. The rear shocks were found to be blown and required replacement. The rear shocks were replaced the same day. After the repair, the steering jerking and instability immediately stopped, confirming that the failed rear shocks were the cause of the problem. Matthews Honda has performed the routine maintenance on this vehicle throughout my ownership. The vehicle has been regularly serviced and maintained in accordance with recommended maintenance schedules. The vehicle was serviced at Matthews Honda in March 2026. As part of that visit, I received a multipoint vehicle inspection report. The inspection checklist showed a green check mark for Shock Absorbers/Struts, Suspension, Tie Rod Ends and Boots, and Steering Gear and Dust Seal, indicating that no issues were identified in those areas at that time. Approximately four months later, on XXX, at 60,852 miles, the rear shocks were found to be blown and required replacement due to the handling and steering stability issues described in this report. During my visit for this repair, I was informed by service department personnel that they had been seeing an in INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the passenger’s side doors failed to open while pressing the power door button and while attempting to open the doors manually. The contact stated that the children had to crawl through the rear cargo door to enter the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,183.

Vehicle: 2019 Honda Odyssey Issue: Unintended airbag deployment consistent with Honda Recall UNW (SRS Control Unit Calibration Defect) Incident Type: Safety defect – airbags deployed without collision Location & Date: Highway 131, outside of Kalamazoo, MI - travel – normal road conditions on July 6, 2026 Insurance Outcome: Denied due to manufacturer defect, will only cover minor wheel damage While driving my 2019 Honda Odyssey on the highway, the vehicle hit a pot hole in the main lane and multiple airbags deployed without any collision, impact, or hazardous event. The side, and curtain airbags all deployed simultaneously. These airbags also did not deflate making it very difficult to see and could have been extremely dangerous. There was no crash, no debris, and no external damage to the vehicle. The deployment was sudden, violent, and completely unexpected. The circumstances of this incident match the description of Honda Safety Recall UNW, which identifies a defect in the SRS control unit calibration that can cause airbags to deploy from normal road vibration, potholes, or bumps. My vehicle’s behavior aligns exactly with the recall conditions. I filed a claim with my insurance provider (Allstate), and they issued a denial because the airbag deployment was caused by a manufacturer defect, not a collision or comprehensive event. As a result, I am left with over $10,000 in airbag related repair costs, including replacement of the airbag modules, seat airbags, curtain airbags, SRS sensors, and interior trim damaged by the deployment. I contacted Honda to request reimbursement under the recall, but Honda has refused my claim and pushed me back to my insurance provider. The lack of response from Honda leaves me with significant financial damage caused directly by a known recall defect. I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance in compelling Honda to address this recall related failure, reimburse the repair costs and ensure proper handling of unintended airbag deployments

The mirror in the casing for the drivers side mirror shakes a lot, even at low speeds, to the point where I can’t use it reliably.

The mirror has become detached on the drivers side. The same issue that has been reported as a recall for 2020-2022 Honda odyssey. My vehicle is 2019 and has the same issue. It is not bonded properly. It is a safety hazard. The dealership said I need to pay to have it replaced. However it should be that my car is included in the recall.

While driving down the road way the collision mitigation warning failure flashed and then pulled the steering wheel pulled me off the roadway and nearly caused me to crash.

The impact on the car is we no longer have cruse control (basic feature) and every time we turn on the car we see many warning lights turn on. Some other feature that does not work is lane assist does not work. According to what shows up to on the dashboard there are problems for "road departure mitigation system Problem", "Auto high-beam problem", "Adaptive cruse control problem", "Lane keeping assist problem", "collision mitigation system problem", "break system", "left sliding door problem" A quick search on the web indicate this a common issue with Honda car (including Acura). [XXX] Another problem we're seeing is driver Side sliding door does not close correctly or open correctly. We have since stop using this door since it's very dangerous for our kids since while opening, it would not open all the way and close on the kids. similar issues [XXX] These two things are broken under 65000 miles and less than 6 years owning the car.

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.

The chest clip is opening without having to press down the buttons to release it. It is magnetic and I'm able to open it with my non-dominant hand. I am not sure exactly how the child's safety was put at risk, but I imagine it is not safe to have a chest clip that can undo easily. The seat has not been inspected.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission failed to properly shift into gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that the solenoids needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Transmission stalled when the vehicle was in drive in the middle of the road. Wouldn't accelerate or move. I put my entire family in the car at risk of 6 people and those on the road as my car completely stopped driving. Went to Honda dealership was told faulty Transmission. They could not cover any of the repairs! It's a 3 year old vehicle with a faulty Transmission. No lights or warnings came up until the Transmission stalled out of no where.
