Potential Consequences:
While driving certainly Air bag SRS problem information came up on the dashboard and never went away during my four hours of driving.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My car has had all recommended service completed by the dealership since I purchased my Honda Odyssey in 2018. On 2/18/25, my power liftgate started malfunctioning. An error message beeps inside my car 4 times, every 4 seconds and cannot be manually turned off. I took the car to the dealership and was quoted $7500 to make the repair. My car only has 90,000 miles on it and has passed all of my previous service inspections. Supposedly, water is getting into the rear control module. I have never had water in my car so this is clearly a manufacturer's defect that is allowing water to seep into the rear control module.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
There is a major safety issue that has happened a few times now. As I come to a stop, or come out of a stop, the engine stutters and completely shuts off. All electronics stop too. Immediately there is a message flashing “right sliding door problem.” I have to put my foot on the brake and restart the engine to get going again. This recently happened as the red light turned green, and a car almost slammed into me from behind.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I took my 2018 Honda Odyssey to the dealership for a fuel pump recall repair. The next day, the engine warning light turned on, and I heard a loud abnormal noise from the high-pressure fuel pump.I scheduled an immediate service appointment. The dealer charged me $230 for a diagnostic but claimed no fault or error code was found. They turned off the warning light without explaining why it was triggered.The abnormal noise from the high-pressure fuel pump persisted, and the dealer recommended replacing the high-pressure fuel pump for $1,942.78 while denying any connection to the recall repair. Component/System That Failed: High-Pressure Fuel Pump Engine Management System How Was Safety Put at Risk? A fuel system failure can cause engine stalling, leading to sudden loss of power while driving and an increased risk of a crash. Has the Problem Been Confirmed by a Dealer? Yes. The dealership acknowledged an abnormal noise from the high-pressure fuel pump but denied any connection to the recall. They only reported a DCA-8000 code, which is not a standard fuel system error code. Has the Vehicle Been Inspected by the Manufacturer? Yes. The dealership inspected the vehicle but refused to take responsibility. Honda Corporate was also contacted, but they denied warranty coverage. Any Warning Lamps or Symptoms Before the Failure? No prior issues before the recall repair. The engine warning light turned on the next day, and the abnormal noise from the high-pressure fuel pump began immediately after. Why This Needs to Be Investigated: The issue began right after the recall service, suggesting a possible defect. The dealer charged me $230 but failed to explain the warning light activation. If other vehicles experience this, it may indicate a recall defect. A fuel system failure can create serious safety risks for drivers and passengers. NHTSA must investigate whether the recall service contributed to high-pressure fuel pump failures, as this could pose a significant safety hazard.

I see this is an ongoing issue, and because it is not consistent in manner people fail to repair/research issue.

Defect Description:
AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
The airbag system malfunctioned, causing the airbags to deploy unexpectedly while driving. The vehicle is currently at the Honda dealer for repairs and the airbags, as well as related components, are available for inspection upon request. The unexpected deployment of the airbags posed a significant safety risk. It startled me, which impaired my control of the vehicle suddenly as I was driving on the highway. Afterwards, I noticed fumes in the vehicle and I began feeling nauseous and light headed. I managed to pull over on the highway and stepped out of the vehicle. This could have led to a loss of control of vehicle, increasing the risk of collision or injury to not only myself but others on the road as well. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet. However, my insurance appraiser inspected the vehicle immediately after the incident and confirmed that the airbags deployed without any signs of a collision or impact. The cause of the deployment remains unknown, and the appraiser recommended that Honda investigate the issue further to identify any potential malfunction in the airbag system. The issue has been inspected by my insurance appraiser, who concluded that while the airbags deployed, there were no visible signs of a collision or any impact that would typically trigger airbag deployment. The inspection of the vehicle’s exterior panels, undercarriage, and suspension showed no signs of damage. The cause of the airbag deployment is unknown, and the appraiser recommended that Honda investigate further to determine if a malfunction within the vehicle’s airbag system is responsible. I believe Honda is at fault, as this issue appears to be related to a malfunction that they need to address. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to the airbag deployment. However, after the airbags deployed, warning lights appeared on the dashboard, indicating a potential issue.

Potential Consequences:
My 2018 Honda Odyssey experienced a heavy snowfall in January 2025. The control panel displayed an alarm, Power Tailgate Problem , and the trunk door could not be opened. I asked a professional who pointed out that it is usually due to water intrusion into the control unit located on the rear driver's side body panel, which causes the tailgate to fail to open, close normally, or even open accidentally. They believe that this is a manufacturing defect caused by the manufacturer and there is a safety hazard.
