2019 Honda Odyssey: windshield wiper failure

Filed Sep 23, 2023 · Acceleration, Brakes · TX

I have a 2019 Odyssey Elite and the following lights come on: Adaptive cruise control problem (ACC); Auto high-beam problem (A); Road departure mitigation system problem; collision mitigation system problem; lane keeping assist problem (LKAS); brake system lights. My problem is intermittent. I can make it go away most of the time by pouring water over the camera or spraying it from the windshield wipers fluid, then turning the car off and back on. That works sometimes. This makes me think it may be due to heat as the windshield (especially the black web lines around the camera) gets very hot. I also have noticed that at night or in cooler parts of the day the lights do not come on most of the time (have not kept a log of problem yet). One problem could be heat but cooling off with water does not always work. In that case, I lightly tap the camera case with a small rubber hammer (it is locate in front of my rear view mirror), turn the car off and back on, and the lights go out. Water plus tapping works and sometimes tapping alone works. This makes me theorize that the weather (heat in my case but I have seen other say it is cold due to snow) causes the cable/wiring within the camera to loosen (meaning weather [heat or cold] sensitive) cable connectors. Thus cooling with water and or light tapping fixes the problem until the next episode occurs. Who knows it could even be the windshield glass. As I said earlier, there is a black webbing type glass etching around the camera. Some say it is the battery, but I have yet to see a post where changing the battery fixed the problem. When the lights are off, all safety features (mitigation, adaptive cruise control, cruise control) work. I assume auto high beam and brakes system will work also. Forgot to add that when I turn the car off and back on, I have to press enter on the steering wheel a couple of times before the lights go off.

On Sunday while driving on North Gayton Road at 45 MPH the car started making a terrible sound almost like one makes when overheating and there was a popping type sound. I looked at the dash and it showed a large red "P" which I initially thought was an error code of sometype. I quickly pulled over into the next available turn and noticed when I stopped that the electronic gear shift was in Park and not Drive. That was what the big red "P" was on the dash. It had tried to shift into Park while we were driving. It scared us to death. It has had other minor erratic electrical type problems. The flashers will suddenly be on when no one was near that button, or we will be driving down the road on a bright clear day and the wipers will come on briefly and then usually turn off after a few wipes. I do not know if it is the prom, or the computer, or a short somewhere. This morning it says the battery is low, but it is a brand new battery. We have 67196 miles on the car.

Automatic rain sensing wipers equipped with elite models does not function properly hindering visibility in rain/snow. It functions irradicably, wiping too fast when there is very little rain or conversely, not wiping enough when there's a downpour. Adjusting sensitivity levels knob did not affect anything. Local dealer service departments have refused to troubleshoot. This has been ongoing since vehicle was purchased new.

Hello I have 2019 honda odyssey elite. There is an issue with the infotainment system, that freezes up, music not playing, screen being unresponsive, cabin watch feature freezes, skips picture or doesn't display it at all or with message that picture cannot be displayed. Rain sensing wipers do not work as intended. When is barely raining they go fast, when is raining a lot wipers are working slow. Dealership is unable to fix issues or they cannot replicate them. I try to take videos/photos of every time something is happening but the dealership doesn't take that as a proof that something is wrong. They drive car for two miles vs mine 27k miles in 10 months, and always say there is nothing wrong with vehicle. I called honda multiple times to have issues resolved, always same story from both honda customer service or dealership, please wait for an update. I am waiting over 6 months and nothing. I have more videos/pictures available. We have two same vehicles in our household, my wife's car have same issues.
