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.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATIC. WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION DELAYS ENGAGEMENT TO 1ST GEAR. THIS BEHAVIOR CAUSES A CLUNK TO 1ST GEAR AND SOMETIMES RAPID ACCELERATION WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE AND THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO ADDRESS BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS.

THE NAVIGATION SCREEN STAYS BLACK. NO BACKUP CAMERA, CAN'T CHANGE THE RADIO, USE THE PHONE OR CHANGE AIR FLOW OR GET DIRECTIONS FROM THE SCREEN. SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL, OTHERS IT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. YOU NEVER KNOW, VERY FRUSTRATING. I FEEL LUCKY IF IT COMES ON WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THEN SUDDENLY I LOST ALL POWER. THE MINIVAN AUTOMATICALLY PUT ITSELF IN NEUTRAL AND THE DASHBOARD SCREEN SWITCHED BETWEEN SAYING, "STOP DRIVING WHEN SAFE. TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SEE MANUAL" AND "TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. APPLY PARKING BRAKE WHEN PARKED." GIVEN THAT I HAD NO POWER I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I FEEL LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR DRIVE. IT WAS LOCKED IN NEUTRAL. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE CAR HAD AUTOMATICALLY PUT ITSELF IN PARK AND I WAS UNABLE TO PUT IT INTO ANY GEAR (DRIVE OR REVERSE). I CALLED HONDA ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE WHO SCHEDULED A TOW TRUCK TO COME GET THE MINIVAN. THIS LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD TWO OF MY LITTLE CHILDREN IN THE MINIVAN AND THIS EXPERIENCE WAS QUITE SCARY. BOTH ME AND MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES, PARTICULARLY IF THIS OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY.
