2019 Honda Odyssey: broken coil spring

Filed Sep 17, 2026 · Suspension · NJ

I own a 2019 Honda Odyssey EX with approximately 117,000 miles. While driving the vehicle from the roadway into a church parking lot, the driver's-side rear coil spring completely broke. There was no collision or accident involved. The failure occurred during normal driving as the vehicle entered the parking lot. The snap was very loud. I have never previously experienced a broken coil spring on a vehicle. The failure involved a major rear suspension component and occurred while the vehicle was in motion. A broken coil spring could potentially affect vehicle stability and ride height, damage other suspension components or the tire, or create a hazard if a portion of the broken spring were to become detached. I am reporting this because I am concerned that a rear coil spring would completely fracture during normal use at approximately 117,000 miles. I have since learned of other reported rear coil spring failures involving 2018–2019 Honda Odysseys, including reports of driver's-side and passenger-side rear springs breaking while the vehicles were being driven. I request that the federal safety agency document this failure and consider whether there is a broader safety issue involving the rear coil springs on this generation of Honda Odyssey. Vehicle: 2019 Honda Odyssey EX Mileage: Approximately 117,000 miles Component: Driver's-side rear coil spring Failure: Complete fracture/breakage while driving Accident or collision involved: No Date of failure: September 11,2026

The rear suspension coil spring on my vehicle fractured and failed. The failure was diagnosed and confirmed by a Honda dealership. The broken spring remains available for inspection upon request. The failure creates a significant safety concern because the vehicle's ride height, handling, and suspension performance are compromised. A broken coil spring can shift position, contact the tire, damage suspension components, and potentially affect vehicle control. The dealership advised that the spring requires replacement. The condition was confirmed by a Honda dealer during inspection. I was informed that replacement OEM springs are on national backorder and are currently unavailable. As a result, the vehicle cannot be repaired with the factory part in a reasonable timeframe. The vehicle has been inspected by a Honda dealership. No accident, collision, or unusual road hazard preceded the failure. Prior to diagnosis, I noticed abnormal suspension noises from the rear of the vehicle, including clunking/creaking sounds while driving over bumps at low speeds. No dashboard warning lights or warning messages were displayed because the suspension system is not monitored by a warning lamp. I am concerned that this may be a broader defect because other Honda Odyssey owners have reported similar rear spring failures, and the replacement parts are difficult to obtain. The combination of a safety-related suspension failure and lack of available replacement parts has left the vehicle unable to be repaired promptly.

Noticed clunking noise from rear of car when going over sharp bumps. Inspecting rear suspension revealed the rear driver side coil spring is broken near the bottom of the coil. Judging by amount of rust on the broken ends this has been broken for some time. Searching online this is a common issue for this generation Odyssey, and Honda do not have replacement springs in stock, with estimated wait time for parts of many months.
