Electrical system, Forward collision avoidance, Mar 5, 2022
I was driving my 2019 Honda Odyssey on the highway and it stopped suddenly in the middle of the highway. The car went to idle mode and changed itself to park gear. We had to off the car and restart it which was dangerous in the middle of the highway. This same incident happened earlier too but in a residential street. We took it to the dealership but they said they couldn’t find anything wrong. Then I heard the news story about nhtsa investigation into this problem with Honda and wanted to report my experience. This is dangerous and they need to figure out what is going on.

Driving 60mph on the highway, everything electrical shut off and on several times. The dash screen, the touch screen, the AC, the lights. I immediately took an exit and got off, and when the rebooting stopped I was going about 30mph and the car shifted by itself into park. Then there was a horrible grinding sound of metal on metal...I hit the brakes to pull off the road the car got under 20mph and stopped instantaneously. I had the car towed to my local Honda dealership and they said they cannot replicate the issue, nor see any error codes. They will not take apart anything to check for damage to the parking rod because there were no error codes...And they want me to pick up the vehicle today.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, THE HEAD UNIT MALFUNCTIONS AND STAYS ON, ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING USED FOR APPLE CAR PLAY.

BETWEEN 20-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DISENGAGES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, LOSES POWER, THEN 'CLUNKS' BACK INTO GEAR. IT MAKES THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS UNSTEADY, AND CAUSES UNANTICIPATED SLOW DOWNS AND SPEED UPS. ADULT PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE HAVE YELLED OUT IN CONFUSION OVER THE LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, IT SOMETIMES HESITATED TO GO INTO FIRST GEAR, AND THEN 'CLUNKS' INTO FIRST, EXPERIENCED AS A 'NEUTRAL DROP' AS IF ONE IS DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION.

THE RADIO AND COMPUTER SYSTEM CRACKLES MAKE LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE WIRING RUBBING TOGETHER, COMPUTER SCREEN SHUTS OFF AND RESETS AND YOU LOSE FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR SYSTEM THAT IS CONNECTED TO RADIO, PHONES AND MAPS. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE MOTION OR STATIONARY. *TR

THE CENTER MOUNTED INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WHICH HOUSES THE MONITOR FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA FREEZES UP AND GOES BLANK CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE CAMERON GULBRASEN KIDS TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ACT OF 2007 AND BECAME A MANDATE IN MAY 2018. THIS VEHICLE IS AT RISK AND NONCOMPLIANT WITH THIS ACT. I HAVE NOTIFIED BOTH AMERICAN HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ARE MAKING NO EFFORT TO REPLACE OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT HONDA DOES NOT VALUE THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THAT THEY ARE BEING ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO BUILD VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME CONDITION, UNKNOWN WHAT THE FIX IS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEED TO BE CORRECTED ASAP. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEMS ALSO FREEZES AND PREVENTS CONTROLS OF THE HVAC AND DVD PLAYER. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THESE ISSUES BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO FREQUENTLY.

A BRAND NEW 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WITH 80 MILES ON IT, STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH VEHICLE'S CENTRAL DISPLAY. MESSAGE NETWORK COMMUNICATION LOST , EVEN ON SLIGHT MOVES WHILE THE CAR IS ON SMOOTH FREEWAYS. RADIO CLICKING STATIC NOISE. DISPLAY UNIT TURNS OFF AND ON SPORADICALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IN MOTION OR EVEN SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED FROM PARKING LOT. VEHICLE DISPLAY GOES BLANK COMPLETELY. CUTS OFF BACK UP CAMERA, NO RADIO, NO BLUETOOTH, NO APPS. AS MOST OF FUNCTIONS ARE CONTROLLED WITH TOUCH SCREEN FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. DEALER TRIED TO FIX IT 2 TIMES BUT NOW THEY BLAME HONDA DOES NOT A SOLUTION YET. RAISED A CASE (10281802) WITH HONDA CORPORATE BUT HONDA REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO GIVE A LOANER CAR AND SAID ITS UP TO TO DEALER TO GIVE A LOANER AS A COURTESY. I FEEL LIKE I WAS SOLD A LEMON. BOTH HONDA CORPORATE AND HONDA DEALER IS NOT TO HELP ME. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE CENTRAL DISPLAY UNIT WHICH SO CRITICAL TO THE VEHICLE'S FUNCTION. WORST PART IS RADIO CLICKING STATIC NOISE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED AS THE DISPLAY IS BLANK. ALL THE ABOVE MAKES ME FRUSTRATED THAT IT HAPPENS ON A NEW CAR AND NO ONE IS HELPING ME.
