Filed Jul 31, 2026 · Driver assistance, Engine · IL

With a 103,000 on the dash, engine experienced signs on slowing, check engine, abs, adaptive cruise, and steering faults amongst others . No lights prior to the bearing failing. The engine experienced rod bearing failure and left use stranded on the side of the highway. All maintenance was performed at dealership, towed back to dealership where upon inspection rod bearing completely fell apart. Vehicle is still at dealership where a 14,000 dollar engine was quoted.

The vehicle is showing persistent electrical and communication fault codes involving the ECM, ABS, and EPS systems, including P16E2, P16E5, P16E7, P16E8, U0401, and U0416. These codes return immediately, which suggests an active fault rather than a temporary low-voltage condition. The issue appears to involve the battery sensor and/or the related communication network between control modules. Because the faults involve ABS and EPS communication, the concern is that braking-related or steering-assist systems may not be receiving correct data. This creates a potential safety risk because the vehicle may experience intermittent or unreliable control-module communication, which could affect steering assist, braking-related warnings, or overall drivability. The warning lights and diagnostic codes first appeared before the vehicle was put back into normal use and have continued to remain present. The problem has been reproducible because the codes reappear right away after being cleared. No dealer or manufacturer diagnosis has been confirmed yet, so the exact root cause remains unresolved.

In August of 2024, I started up my 2019 Honda Odyssey one morning and all the vehicle safety alerts/warnings on the dashboard came on (adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto high-beam problem, ABS). I took the vehicle into my local Honda dealership and they ran a diagnostic which determined that the forward looking camera was faulty and needs to be replaced. There were previously no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure of the camera. The dealer's quote to replace the camera was $1,528.99 at the time. Having since researched this issue further on Honda owner forums, this seems to be a common problem with this generation of Honda vehicles. As evidenced by the corresponding warning messages, the failure of the front camera causes an array of vehicle safety issues impacting the driver and passengers, other vehicles and pedestrians. This defect, which is an extremely cost-prohibitive repair for the consumer, should be addressed and corrected by the manufacturer as soon as possible. The vehicle is available for further inspection upon request. Please note that I was unable to select all the applicable Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) under the Problem Parts section of this form.

While accelerating from a complete stop at a red light, immediately after refueling, the vehicle suddenly lost all propulsion power and forced itself into Neutral without any driver input. The dashboard lit up with numerous system warnings at once, including: •Emissions System Problem •Brake System Problem •ABS Problem •Brake Hold System Problem •Electric Parking Brake Problem •Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Problem The engine won't start, leaving me stranded in the middle of an active intersection. I attempted to restart the vehicle multiple times with no success. Police responded to the scene, confirmed the vehicle could not be driven, and a tow truck transported it to a nearby Honda dealership. The tow truck driver suspected an alternator failure, but the dealer’s inspection the next day could not reproduce the issue. They reported that the alternator and battery “tested fine” and that no trouble codes were stored in the ECU. No repairs were performed, and no cause was identified. Safety Concern: This incident created an immediate traffic hazard. The vehicle’s sudden loss of propulsion in traffic, combined with the inability to restart, could easily have caused a collision. Multiple critical systems were reported as failed simultaneously, indicating a possible electrical, fuel system, or control module failure. I am aware of similar complaints from other 2018–2019 Honda Odyssey owners in which sudden power loss occurred, often accompanied by numerous system fault messages. Many reports link these events to fuel pump failures, loose battery/ground connections, or transmission control malfunctions. This suggests a broader pattern of intermittent safety-related defects. Requested Action: Please investigate this incident and similar cases for potential design or component defects.

When braking hard it or on hills shakes the whole vehicle bad. Has been doing this since about 10,000 miles. Was taken back to dealer for this at 12,000 miles . I have new brakes and rotors changed 3 times since. Still not right. I think it’s ABS problem or electronic brake issue

Driving on an expressway, the cars in front of me are slowing down, my car's collision mitigation braking system sends a visual alert with the "brake" signal coming on and I feel the brakes engaging, simultaneously I slam on the brakes, and while there was still distance between the car in front of mine and mine, I am not able to brake. The brakes seem confused, and the impact is so strong that my head almost reaches the steering wheel. The seatbelt is locked in place and leaves me sore. Once I am able to get ahold that I was just in a car accident, I am unable to lower the windows, the car is able to call for help on it's own and does so although nothing comes of that in that no help comes. Once I get off the van I notice the plate is knocked and on the floor, the bumper has fallen off and the hood and grill are curled up pictures attached. The car seems to be leaking a fluid and we are unable to start it. I believe that because we (the car and I) simultaneously having the system engaging on it's own and my slamming on the brakes prevented the brakes from working. The impact was with such velocity that it's impossible to have had them working properly. This is an important safety concern if the driver and the system are unable to work together or too confusing for the system. Interestingly, the air bags didn't deploy! Additionally, the initial scan by the auto body shop had many alerts come up but the ones I would like to highlight are ABS - ECM failure and integrated driver support system - brake actuator malfunction, attaching that scan too.
