Honda Odyssey tire blowout problems

Filed Oct 20, 2026 · Suspension · WI

The rear coil springs on my vehicle failed before reaching 100000 miles. This affected the performance of the suspension system which reduced steering response and stability at highway speeds. It also likely caused early failure of the rear shocks which had to be replaced at about 105000 miles. The problem also lead to uneven tire wear increasing the risk of a tire blowout. The springs are currently being replaced with Honda OEM parts at a mechanic shop.

Our van recently started flashing multiple warning lights every time we started it up. These include "Collision mitigation system problem", "auto high-beam problem", "road departure mitigation system problem", "lane keeping assist problem", "adaptive cruise control problem", and also alerts that there is an issue with our brakes. We took the van into our local Honda dealership and were told the ADAS camera was broken and would need to be replaced. We were told this would cost $2,733 and that there's a chance we will also have to replace the windshield (which is physically fine) for another $1200. The camera breaking is not normal maintenance or expected due to wear and tear. There is nothing physically wrong with our windshield, we have had no accidents, we have kept up on all needed vehicle maintenance. It's my understanding the location of the camera is simply causing it to overheat and blow out the electrical system. Additionally concerning is that even if I did have the money to fix the issue Honda does not have any cameras available. They are on backorder. It means as a driver to three small children I have to assume the nonstop alerts are all benign for at least a month. In the off chance there is a true safety concern such as brakes malfunctioning, I will not know as the alert system is going off at all times.

I was merging onto I-85 with my sister was in the front passenger seat, and my son was behind me on the driver's side. I heard a very loud bang/pop and looked to my right and immediately saw the curtain airbag deploying on the passenger side. I did not feel anything to indicate I hit something, no noise, no beeping from my vehicle safety features, no shake of the steering wheel to indicate I veered off the road. Nothing of that nature. I was able to get to the shoulder of the highway safely, despite not being able to see out of the passenger side of the vehicle due to the deployed airbags. It was confusing and disorienting because I knew we were not involved in a crash, but the airbags still deployed. I called 911 and started assessing any injuries for my son or my sister. The police arrived a short time later and opened the front passenger door and immediately cut the airbag to assess the situation. The police officer said there was no visible damage to the van and no other vehicle nearby to indicate a collision. I asked if the tire blew and he said no, he couldn't see any damage. This was an incredibly dangerous situation that could have ended with serious injury or worse. We were traveling on an interstate and the airbag deployment could have injured me and prevented me from getting off the road. In addition, the airbag deployed right where my younger son's car seat is. He would have suffered serious injury had he been in the vehicle when this happened. The shop doing the repair ran computer diagnostic testing and I instructed them to keep all parts that are being replaced. The van has been inspected by a Honda body shop manager as well as an American Honda technician. There were no warning lights or indications before the airbag deployment.

Driver side rear tire blowout about a mile from home at approximately 30 mph while slowing to make a right hand turn. The Bridgestone Turanza 235/60R18 103H is the exact model and size as a manufacturing lot that had already been recalled for a slow leak hazard. My failed tire's lot number is DOT 7X45 JB2 0521. A high speed failure could have easily resulted in an accident or a damaged vehicle. The failure point on my tire was at the exact failure point as described in the their recall. I took the tire to the Bridgestone local store where the on duty manager described the failure as simply a cut tire. I then again contacted Bridgestone cutomer service who did not have any interest in bringing it to their factory for inspection by qualified engineers. The failed tire is available for inspection. Seconds before the blowout I got a warning light alert.
