2018 Honda Odyssey brakes complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 41, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The front camera has failed resulting in safety concerns including braking system and cruise control failure. This is a known issue with many new Honda Odysseys and needs to be recalled as it is not safe to drive as it disables all honda sensing and auto braking components on the vehicle.
Multiple warnings occurred simultaneously for the "brake system" intermittent. I have the same issue per [XXX] for my Honda Odyssey 2018 elite. I can see the same problem by a lot of people. I told Honda and paid them $220 diagnosis fees and they ended up asked me to change the whole camera that cost 4k. This obviously defect issue from Honda. Looks like known issue for this. Can this escalate back to Honda? For example [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Prior to purchasing this vehicle, On the test drive, the vehicle slammed on the brakes for no good reason. The dealer assured me the collision mitigation braking system (“CMBS”) can be turned off, so I bought the car. I then learned that the CMBS automatically turns on every time the engine is turned on. I must shut CMBS off each and every time I start the car, but since my other car is a Tesla (which doesn’t have this problem), sometimes I do forget to shut off CMBS. Through out my almost 7 years of ownership, the car has slammed on the brakes COUNTLESS numbers of times for absolutely no reason at all. Sometimes no cars are behind me, but there have been several times when cars behind me have almost crashed into me due to my faulty CMBS. My elderly mother is in need of a car and I refuse to let her borrow mine because I am scared she will forget to disable the CMBS and get into a crash. I am deeply astonished that with everything that is known about Honda’s CMBS, the federal safety agency has not taken any action against this dangerous feature. I wonder what the federal safety agency is getting paid to look the other way. A complete failure of an institution I used to hold in high regard.
Soft or Low Brake Pedal The brake pedal have a soft feeling and travel to the floor with low effort. This is causing low braking performance and increased pedal stroke. This condition is increasing the risk of a crash.
2018 Honda Odyssey front camera failures. We bought it brand new and found out today that front multipurpose camera was not working properly. There are bunches of warning lights popped up on dashboard: LCC, LKAS… problems. I went to Google and Facebook to see there were so many people have the same problem particularly with this 2018 models. Dealership wanted $1800 to replace camera and they know that was Honda technical issues, not in customers control.
See service Honda Service Bulletin 20-100 Dated 2-11-2021.The fuel Injectors part Number 16010 (6EA) has failed and my dashboard display , displays most of the sensors that means there is an actual problem, or a false reading. As a Honda owner, I cannot determine if it is an actual fault or a false reading. I had Rusty Wallace Honda dealer check the car using OBD device and the equipment indicates a code 219A, which indicates bad fuel injectors. Now after the check additional and different sensors are displayed with problems than were displayed prior to this check. The trouble shooting and after displaying the code 219A indicated a catastrophic failure. Rusty Wallace has verbalized the results and that I should continue driving the vehicle, that this would not damage the engine or the car. I am not a certified mechanic, but my younger days were devoted to back street work repairing and driving vehicles. Anytime that you starve or flood a cyclinder you had serious problems. I need this vehicle as a daily driver.
Warning messages for the following appeared: brake system lane keeping/assist system collision mitigation system problem road departure mitigation system problem auto-high beam problem adaptive cruise control problem None of these safety features now work. Our local dealership told us it was a failure of the multipurpose camera unit. The fix we are told is a $1400 part. The rear camera was just recalled by Honda and repaired within the last month. This failure should not have happened and greatly impacts the safety of the car and it is a common problem when searching Honda message boards.
The automatic emergency braking system (AEB) the Collision Mitigation Braking System or “CMBS.” Ingaged and Stopped the van four (4) times when there where no obsticals in front of the van. Twice this happend while making left turns in four-way intersection.
Just bought the car used with 60240 mi at the end of March on a Friday. 30 minutes after leaving the dealership the Auto Idle Stop warning notice appeared on the dash stating this feature was unavailable. It would not engage when idle at a light and as a result, when the gas was pressed to accelerate the car would hesitate and jerk into gear. This happened the entire 1.5-hour ride home, whether for a short pause or longer pause. It was a bit scary because the car would hesitate to move and clearly there were cars behind me. At any point and time, someone could've rear-ended me thinking I was able to accelerate properly. About 1 hour into the ride the brake lights came on flashing red at the bottom of the dash the entire time and would not go out. I immediately called the dealership once I reached my destination to announce the problem. The following Monday I took it back for a look over. In their investigation, they found a tracker attached under the dash and assumed this was interfering with the transmission of messages for the Auto Idle stop to engage. The dealer claimed there were codes, but after removing this attachment the auto idle stop feature engaged and they cleared all the codes. To my surprise, after 4-5 hours of being there, I drove home to find as I neared by destination all error codes returned including the brake lights flashing. I immediately called the dealer again and complained. This time to not further inconvenience me with the back and forth, they came and picked up the car on a Thursday with the intent of troubleshooting it over the course of some days. They had the car from a Thursday to the next Friday for me to arrive after them saying it was good, to find it was still doing it. This time the codes were reviewed with me in the car and the issue was "it was unlearned". After the reset, it started working again. Four days later it's still happening. Engages when it feels like it which causes a rough drive and acceleration. Honda help!
My Honda Odyssey 2018 has a problem that sometimes, particularly during winter, that a lot of check lights are on, and sometimes the car starts to slide. The check lights may include the check engine light, the power steering light, the power brake light, and the transmission light. An independent mechanic determined that this is addressed by the Honda Service Bulletin 20-100, but Honda service representative denies a warranty coverage as they say the VIN is not in the range even when the Model, Make, and the diagnosis all matches (Honda Service representative: case # [XXX], [XXX]).

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle was shaking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.
ALL the warning lights came on, including brakes, power steering, lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, and others, indicating the car should be stopped immediately regardless of traffic or conditions. I do not know if the functions were also impaired or if was simply false alarms. I understand this is typical of this auromobile.
Both the dashboard and the computer shut down randomly, different warning signs pop up intermittently and the wheel locks up for a short time. It happens while driving at unpredictable times. It happened on the highway at the speed of 65 mph. and the vehicle is temporarily is not under driver’s control. Yes, I took the vehicle for repair 3 times. Yes, the certified car dealership had identified different issues but none of them had fixed the problem. No, not by insurance or the manufacturer. No, no warning signs prior. First it happened in July, 2022

The power steering stopped working while I was driveing. The lights for power steering, break problem, lane keeping assistant system and lane departure migration lights are all on in the dashboard. The power steering was hard to turn.
While vehicle in motion, first time brake pedal gets soft and get pressed extensively to floor with loss of braking power, if u hit brake immediately after first press, brake pedal works normal. Again once u hit acceleration, and try to hit brake, first attempt of braking gets very soft and almost bottom out without much braking power then immediately second push to brake pedal becomes more normal and harder braking. Whole cycle keeps repeating.
From the day I bought my car the brakes have squealed when applying them at a low rate of speed. There have been multiple times I have tried to accelerate and the gas took an extended time to work. Once I was trying to switch lanes and when I accelerated the van didn't go any faster and I almost caused an accident. The van shifts extremely hard. Everything the van shifts around 20-30 MPH the entire vehicle jolts back and forth. This is a huge safety issue and the dealers will not acknowledge it. I have reached out to honda's corporate number but they refuse to help. They have replaced the brakes, fluids and fuel injectors but all the issues still remain. I have also had a few issues with the sound system not working properly but have not mentioned that to the dealership or honda corporate.
Electrical issues: after driving vehicle for 2 ' 5 minutes, entertainment system, rear entertainment screen and parking sensors stop working. The speakers make loud popping sound that will not go away even when you try to power off radio/entertainment system. Turning the vehicle off was the only way to stop the sound. Once restarted, everything would work for 2 ' 5 minutes and the same thing would happen. The speakers popping were very loud and distracting, screen with backup camera and parking sensors stopped working making the vehicle not drivable.
The front rotors warped and cause the steering wheels and front end of the car to shake whiling breaking at high speed. Shaking isn't noticeable under 30mph but the fast you go, the worst the shaking becomes. We had this issue with our older 2012 odyssey and there was a recall for the it. When I ask the dealer about this issue, I was told there is no recall list for it and I will have to pay for replace my breaks and rotors.
My car shakes when I brake. Honda dealership tells me that's ok, the new brakes do that a little. My 2007 odyssey did not do this. I have taken to the dealer 3 times telling them about this issue.
The van brakes have squealed since brand new 2018 purchased, returned van and they installed new brake pads and possible other parts however the brakes still squeal, ive called and the dealership says they don't know whats wrong and don't know how to fix. The 2nd issue is the cds when played get very hot like on fire hot, took van in to get looked at. The dealership replace cd player . The fix did not work the new cd player still makes the cds very hot like its going to start a fire. The cds are so hot that I cant even hold them. I believe a fire will start
On 30 dec 2018 as my family and I drove through osceola county, florida, our odyssey displayed an error message that read, "some driver assist systems cannot operate: radar obstructed." the temperature was around 70 deg f and it was moderately foggy. The message cleared itself after 20-30 minutes and the driver assist systems came back online. We did not see any such error for the rest of our trip. At the end of our trip, on 3 jan 2019, when my family and I were just outside charlottesville, virginia, the vehicle proceeded to brake quite aggressively without driver input, as if it were avoiding a collision. It occurred near mile marker 115 on I-64 westbound, on a downward slope at dusk on dry pavement. We were perhaps 1000-1200 ft from the exit itself, well beyond the range of the 'extra long' setting on the acc at 70 MPH. The only cars in front of us were already at the exit and did not appear to be undergoing any unusual maneuvers. This off-ramp is particularly long at this exit so I would not anticipate that those vehicles just entering the ramp were decelerating rapidly. I was using acc and lkas, as I had during most of our trip. When the van was braking, I instinctively depressed the throttle pedal to try to maintain speed. That resulted in the engine revving and no change to the hard braking. I disengaged the acc using the 'cancel' button and that appeared to end the hard braking (I may have briefly depressed the brake pedal at the same time but cannot be sure). I will also estimate that we went from around 70 MPH to around 30-40 MPH in those 2-3 seconds. There was no obvious external reason for the emergency braking maneuver instigated by the honda's onboard system. This presented a significant potential hazard. We were very fortunate that there were no vehicles immediately behind us or we would have run a very high risk of rear collision.
First incident in 2018, the minivan came to a quick complete stop unnecessarily. A car in front of me had made a quick turn, I was not in danger of running into the car. I had a driver behind me honking his horn. I could have been rear-ended. Next incident occurred this month, march, 2019. Driving down a street, 25 m.p.h. The car shut down completely. I had to pull over, the wheel was hard to turn. After pulling over, I started the car again and drove home. Good thing I was not on a major interstate.both occurred on city streets. August 16, 2018 first incident. March 11, 2019. Dt
My car has been issued a recall and I made an appointment with honda autonation chandler az; when I arrived, the dealership said they didn't know how to fix it and said to go to tempe honda instead.
Upon proceeding through an intersection the van began to automatically break to a complete stop from approximately 30-35mph, screeching tires, then shutting completely off. The entire dashboard cluster was dark as was the computer display for the radio/other controls. Looking down the "park" indicator was lit red. I pressed the break and the van started up and went into gear driving as if nothing occurred. This scared me and upon my call to honda, they said it's related to another "electrical system update" which needs to occur but has not been completed so there was nothing they could do. I reached out to another dealership explaining the situation and they advised me to use the roadside assistance to have the van taken to them for safety reasons.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda odyssey. Within months of owning the vehicle, the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the brake system. The dealer (atlantic honda, 1375 sunrise hwy, bay shore, ny 11706, (631) 665-0005) test drove the vehicle and heard the noise, but was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
At 25 MPH the collision avoidance system unexpectedly engaged and braked with full antilock vibrations when there was no car within braking range. The car behind me braked hard and an accident was fortunately avoided. This occurred after dealing with the dealer over several days regarding phantom collision avoidance cautions occurring on a daily basis. The vehicle also braked autonomously without any car in front of it earlier in the evening.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda odyssey. While stationary, the vehicle would not turn off when prompted. On more than one occasion, all of the doors failed to open when prompted by the key fob. In addition, the brake mitigation engaged with a visual and audio alarm; however, there was no other vehicle around. Furthermore, the instrument panel indicators did not illuminate when the vehicle started and the cross-traffic monitor malfunctioned and had to be turned off. Del ray honda (2500 south federal highway, del ray beach, fl) was made aware of the series of failures. The battery and the tuners were replaced on the vehicle, but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided the contact with case number: [xxx]. The failure mileage was 636. *tt information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
