“After a week of driving a brand new Honda Odyssey 2019, with 177 mileage, the car had transmission problems, blind spot info system problem, and emission system problem. As I was exiting the freeway, I noticed the car was not accelerating when I pushed the gas pedal. When the gas pedal was pushed, I saw the RPM increased to 5000-6000r/min and I heard loud vroom noise coming our from my car. While the car still had some momentum right off the freeway, I made two right turn and came to a complete stop at the stop sign near my apartment. …”

“2/5/2020 I was traveling at highway speeds with moderate traffic, when the main display screen in my minivan started flashing error messages. The radio display screen was acting wacky also. The van started making a loud rapid 'click.click.click. Type noise. I was trying to figure out what was happening, when I noticed that the display said p for park. I could not accelerate to merge out of traffic. It happened so fast and was so startling. I was able to coast and move over to the shoulder and stop the van. I turned off the ignition and started it back up and it drove normally. …”

“Van randomly slammed on the brakes, with nobody in front of me, while I was going 75mph on the highway. Van will sporadically not accelerate when pressing gas pedal, then slowing start to move but not fast enough to pull into traffic on city street, causing me to almost be t-boned 5 times then decide to start rapidly accelerate and make me fish tail. After putting vehicle in park, it rolls 6 -12 (depending on incline). Too many tech issues to list (rear backup camera stops working while in use, audio will turn off an not turn back on while driving, navigation has been loading for months, etc)”

“The infotainment system started going bad after owning the vehicle within 2 weeks. When the vehicle is in motion the radio went out with a static sound and complete system blacked out with network communication error and restarted while car is in motion and this started repeating on the drive.I took it to the dealer and they said they fixed the problem by rerouting the electrical harness. …”

NHTSA complaint #11359868, filed 2020-09, 400 miles

“The infotainment system which controls everything in the vehicle constantly frozen and crashed. All, safety features including the backup camera disabled and couldn't be adjusted because of the system deem the vehicle was in motion even it wasn't. Worst, there is no way to reset or turn off the vehicle without visiting a dealer. Many drivers that I knew of are constantly forced to fix the system while driving. This creates serious safety issues for the public safety.”
