2019 Honda Odyssey: fuel pump failure

Filed Sep 22, 2026 · Fuel system · MI

when trying to accelerate from a stop or slow roll velocity (e.g. at a yield sign), there is a hesitation between the time I press on the accelerator and when the vehicle moves. This becomes a hazard because if there is a delay in acceleration, I could be hit by oncoming traffic. The fuel pump had been previously recalled because of an impeller issue. At that time, the same thing would happen. Hesitation in acceleration. After the fuel pump was replaced (done early 2025 on my vehicle), that symptom was better but in the last few months, it has returned and is increasing in frequency. It happened today as I was driving 9/22/2026 but it was not the first time. It has been ongoing for months now so I decided to finally report it. I feel that this is related to previous the federal safety agency recall campaign ID number 23V858000

My name is [XXX], we bought a brand new 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite, we have had problems with this vehicle since day one. They have lied and covered up the issues with this vehicle starting with the infotainment center, transmission slippage, fuel pump and the front camera has been overheating giving us the message that it is overheating and all the lights come on. They have stalled us on these issues and now the extended warranty is up and we want something done about this. We have babied this vehicle the entire time since new and it seems like one problem after another, at this point we are very disappointed from the way we are being treated from Honda. The latest is the front sensor on the front mirror that pops up all the lights on the dash, no one seems to be able to duplicate the problem, now they are on all the time and conveniently the extra extended warranty we bought have since expired, there was a lot of recalls on this vehicle and no one ever seems to be able to send us the recall letters. We really thin the mirror sensor and the transmission are definitely safety issues especially when the mirror shuts all the safety off. The transmission shifts hard at times and we pray that Honda will step up to the plate and do the right thing and fix the other recall issues on this same vehicle as well. We have other Honda vehicles that we have not had any issues with, we just can't understand why we are being treated in this manner, we just want the vehicle fixed.

XXX, I was driving my 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L on a family trip to Florida when the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and the car went into neutral. We were on [XXX], close to [XXX]. My wife and I had to push the car off the side of the road and call a tow truck company. This occurred on a Friday night. The only place I was able to take the vehicle for repair was the nearest dealership. I told them what happened. The service writer tells me the issue is the fuel pump and high pressure fuel pump. The cost was $2,800. When I told them I was on vacation and this issue should've been resolved back in 2021 with the recall they told me nothing could be done. I had the recall work completed in 2021 with 12,000 miles on the van. The fuel pump & high pressure fuel pump problem occurred in June 2026 with 51,000 miles on the van.

Since purchasing the van, have reported intermittent hesitation to dealerships. Never duplicated at dealership. Eventually, fuel pump replaced under recall. Still had intermittent issues. On June 11,2026, while on the highway, van had slight hesitation and codes started going on dashboard. Got off the highway and the van limped into a nearby Home Depot parking lot. Had it towed to Hill Country Honda where they diagnosed a bad MAP sensor. When told it was ready for pick up, informed that the wiring harness was pinched. The technician stated that he had straightened the wiring and when I inquired about it, told that particular wire had to be cut out and replaced. Informed that I would likely have further issues with van and recommendation was to replace the whole wiring harness. I asked how it was pinched and told that it was probably done at assembly point and not noticed since it was under other components. I called Honda Cares as recommended to see if they could do anything for the van but Honda said the van was not under warranty so no assistance was provided. The van has 74,000 miles and always maintained by dealerships. Honda Cares said outside influence was the reason nothing could be offered. I believe that Honda is responsible for this situation and I have known 3 different 2019 owners who shared hesitation issues as new owners. Rear speakers are playing very low and told it might also be affected by wiring harness but I don’t think I should spend $4500.00+ to fix this problem.

My 2019 Honda Odyssey stalled at a red light, then had an extended crank/no-start. It later hesitated and almost stalled while driving around 40 mph, and stalled again when I got home. The dash showed Emissions System Problem along with VSA, EPS, Brake System, Brake Hold, Hill Start Assist, and Road Departure warnings. Please check open recalls, especially the fuel pump recall, scan all stored and pending codes, test battery and alternator, and check fuel pressure and fuel pressure leak-down.

When picking my child up from school, upon departure, the front end of the vehicle began violently shaking and sounding as if it wanted to shut down, simultaneously, a number of system failure warnings displayed on the dash. I was able to get the vehicle into a parking spot and turn it off. It would not restart. I called a tow truck and had it towed to a local garage as it was not safe to drive even if it did start. Upon the local mechanic pulling codes, they pulled the code P0087 indicating a failure of the fuel system, gasoline: delivery: Fuel pump. This incident put myself, my 3 children in the vehicle as well as other pedestrian children and adult pedestrians at great risk, because if I had lost control and not been able to park safely, the outcome may have been extremely different. The problem has been confirmed by local mechanic and is scheduled with the dealer in 5 days. There were no prior warnings or indications of the failure. Honda issued a recall in 2021 then closed it. It was later expanded by the federal safety agency in 2024. Then again closed. We never received notification of the recall either time. recall numbers follow: 21V-21520V-314 expanded recall: 23V‑858/Honda TSB 24-022 Both, Im told are closed, which is unfathomable to me given the significant and known dangers attributed to this issue.

Life-Threatening Acceleration Lag: The vehicle is experiencing severe power loss during critical driving moments, for example, while entering intersections or attempting to re-accelerate into moving traffic. When I attempt to speed up, the engine fails to respond initially, leaving the vehicle stranded in the path of cross-traffic. The engine finally engages only because I am forced to floor the accelerator pedal out of necessity, which then causes the tires to squeal when power eventually returns. Intermittent Starting Issues: The vehicle frequently fails to start smoothly on the first attempt; a known symptom associated with the fuel pump impeller deformation described in Recall 23V‑858. VCM Shudder and Hesitation: I am experiencing the distinct vibration and rhythmic shudder associated with the Variable Cylinder Management system. This symptom is most prominent during deceleration or coasting; specifically, when I lift my foot off the accelerator without applying the brakes, the system triggers a noticeable shudder as it incorrectly manages cylinder engagement/deactivation. Suspected Catalytic Failure (Codes P0420/P0430): Both catalytic converters are exhibiting inefficiency codes simultaneously, which are highly atypical and occur well before the expected component lifespan. This clearly points to upstream defects. Specifically, the catalytic substrate has been poisoned by carbon and phosphorus deposits from the documented oil-burning defect and has suffered thermal damage due to the improper fuel mixtures caused by the defective high-pressure fuel pump (Recall 23V‑858).

2019 Honda Odyssey (VIN: [XXX] ) - Fuel injector failure at 51,000 miles, November 2025. Cost: $1,260. KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT: Honda Service Bulletins 20-100, 21-002, 22-002 acknowledge widespread fuel injector failures in 2018-2019 Odysseys caused by debris from manufacturing process. Honda extended warranty to 10 years/150,000 miles for certain VINs. My VIN excluded despite identical failure. EVIDENCE: (1) Same symptoms/codes as covered vehicles (2) Fuel pump replaced under recall same visit - proves manufacturing defects (3) Proper maintenance with receipts (4) Dealer admitted injectors shouldn't fail at this mileage (5) Hundreds of similar complaints online HONDA DENIED COVERAGE: American Honda denied goodwill because I don't have dealership service records. This makes no sense - manufacturing debris in injectors isn't caused by where you get oil changes. SAFETY ISSUE: Sudden power loss, multiple warning lights, stalling risk while driving. REQUEST: Investigate why Honda excludes certain VINs from warranty coverage for acknowledged manufacturing defect. Require expansion of coverage and reimbursement program. Pattern of defects (fuel pump recall + injector failure at 51k miles) indicates quality control problems. Thousands of owners affected.
