Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I got into the car, I had just started the car up and there were warning lights for the blind spot information system not working; other things that weren't working were the heated seats or the rear climate controls. Later that day, the backup camera screen was black. This is unacceptable for my 2018 touring that is almost 50k!”
NHTSA complaint #11244922, filed 2019-08, 9,521 miles“Entire dash turned off while driving including speedometer and information screen-replaced radiohead. All warning lights came on while driving-replaced fuel injectors. Popcorn sound and warning light came on while driving after picking up car from getting fuel injectors replaced-stating it's a bad rear entertainment system. I bought my car 1 year ago and it's obviously flawed.”
NHTSA complaint #11143895, filed 2018-10, 42,000 miles“When we start the engine all the errors come up saying that the vhs failed, the electronics stability failed, brake system failed and all the other components. We have purchased 2 Odyssey and they both have that problems. When we called Honda they told us to repair it as it was our fault. After few starts it goes away. We went to our mechanic and they reset the codes and it has gone away for now but there is an on going issue with the Odyssey. So Honda has recalled the pilot but not the mini van. Same problems.”
NHTSA complaint #11300298, filed 2020-01, 90,000 miles“Electrical issues: after driving vehicle for 2 ' 5 minutes, entertainment system, rear entertainment screen and parking sensors stop working. The speakers make loud popping sound that will not go away even when you try to power off radio/entertainment system. Turning the vehicle off was the only way to stop the sound. Once restarted, everything would work for 2 ' 5 minutes and the same thing would happen. The speakers popping were very loud and distracting, screen with backup camera and parking sensors stopped working making the vehicle not drivable.”
