“When the car is on adaptive Cruise Control, going downhill it won't correctly control the speed and keeps on accelerating, Austin hill country at one point I managed to gain up to 20 miles above the set cruise speed limit. I have reported this to the First Texas Honda service department, took a test drive with their technician, and reproduced the issue, in a small test managed to increase 10 miles above the set cruise limit. …”
NHTSA complaint #11507803, filed 2023-02“I was driving on the freeway at approx 65mph with no cars around me when the orange light that said brake came on and the car slowed down on its own. Could not override problem for a few seconds.”
NHTSA complaint #11581411, filed 2024-04“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11517891, filed 2023-04“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11615114, filed 2024-09“While accelerating, well after a car far infront of me turned, the forward collision warning went off and automatically applied full breaks while I was accelerating slamming my legs into the dash. My kid has marks from his car seat. This is 3rd and most sever instance of this almost causing a severe crash behind me. While I hate the automatic idle stop function and want it gone, it hasn’t worked in 4 week and randomly started doing it today and now stopped again. The AC in the seets also stopped working when temps hit 110 in Phoenix.”
