2019 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

2019 Honda Odyssey Ex : Sensing camera located behind front windshield failed and stopped working and giving bunch of error messages. Cruise Control and other saftey features operated with help of this camera stopped working. The part number is 36160-THR-A11-M1

The rear latch on the passenger sliding door has stopped latching. The part seems rusted out, and the door doesn't stay closed. It actually slid open a few inches while we were driving. The door does not stay latched. Our daughter was sitting next to the door and was afraid of falling out.

The vehicle’s front camera/Honda Sensing system has failed, causing multiple safety features to become unavailable simultaneously, including forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and related systems. The failure produces multiple warning messages and disables safety systems that the vehicle was equipped and marketed with. This is a recurring issue reported by other Honda owners and is currently the subject of a proposed class action lawsuit, Jones et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Case No. [XXX]. The lawsuit alleges a defective front camera system affecting 2018–2025 Honda vehicles, including the Odyssey. I believe this constitutes a safety defect because the failure can occur unexpectedly and simultaneously disables multiple driver-assistance and collision-avoidance safety systems. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and require Honda to issue a safety recall and provide a free repair.

For about 3-4 years now we have had issues with either the accelerator and/or possibly the transmission. We are not exactly sure which because our dealer claims they can never recreate the issue which is hard to believe since the issue happens to us most times the car is driven. The complaint that we have is intermittent delayed/no acceleration when accelerator is pressed, followed by sudden surge/punch forward after releasing and pressing accelerator again. What makes it particularly frightening is when it happens and the car is exposed to other perpendicular traffic that may not have to stop. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem occur or accompany the issue in question. The vehicle has only been looked at by our Honda Dealership.

?The multipurpose windshield camera module in my 2019 Honda Odyssey experiences an internal electronic/power failure (Diagnostic Trouble Code U3000-49) while driving. This failure triggers a cascade of warning lights across the dashboard, instantly and without warning disabling the entire Honda Sensing driver-assist suite—including Collision Mitigation Braking (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Auto High Beams.

Ton of warning messages displayed related to ADAS systems not working. Took car to the dealership and was told the multicamera system failed. Messages almost identical to what's reported here and apparently many other Honda owners are reporting the same problem.

At only 56,000 miles, one of the rear shocks completely snapped in half. While driving, hitting ANY type of bump caused the rear end to drastically sway side to side. Upon taking it to the repair shop, they stated it was a common problem with Odyssey's and only with Odyssey's. This website explains the issue well with pictures: [XXX] Why there isn't a recall is beyond me but this is a safety issue at this point. Especially for a vehicle designed to carry children. Shocks don't just break in half with normal driving. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The multipurpose camera went out due to heat apparently and stops the advanced driver assistance systems from working on the vehicle. It was taken to a dealership and was told it’s a known issue and is about 2k to fix.

All of a sudden for no reason, error messages starting showing up on the dashboard. Such as: blind spot info system problem, lane keeping assist problem, transmission system problem, and others. The car runs fine. I took it to my local shop and they put a new battery in. At first the lights went out but then they came back. So I took it to the Honda dealership. They ran diagnostics and tell me the multipurpose camera needs to be replaced. At a cost of $1,996.00. I asked if the camera can just be taken out, but have been told that is not an option. Obviously many of the security features are tied to this device. We are taking an out of state trip this weekend to a family wedding so must get this fixed this week. I’m not comfortable driving the car that far in this condition. There were absolutely no problems with the car beforehand. It happened two days ago on Sat 8/29/26. We were returning from a day trip about 70 miles from home. When these error messages started popping up, the car was running fine and continued to do so.

The front windshield camera mounted above the rear view mirror overheats and shuts off, causing a minimum of 14 errors to light up the dashboard screen during driving. This also prevents the back lift gate from opening once parked until the errors are cleared. This has happened multiple times, not always when it is hot and sunny, but the camera module overheats and shuts off anyway.
