“The contact owns a 2022 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at 50-65 MPH, the collision mitigation braking system was applied and the vehicle stopped abruptly, causing her children to sustain whiplash. The message "brake" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. However, the failure had reoccurred several times while there were no other vehicles or objects around the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated while her son was attempting to exit the vehicle through the driver's side rear sliding door, he pressed the door lock button; however, the door did not fully open fully and closed abruptly on his left hand. The contact's son was taken to the hospital where it was diagnosed that he sustained severe pain, laceration, and swollenness on his left hand. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and advised the contact that they would arrange for a field technician to inspect the vehicle; however, the vehicle was not inspected. The contact followed up with the manufacturer. A case was opened. The manufacturer advised the contact to acquire a vehicle rental while the inspection was being completed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 950.”

“Passenger side, sliding door. The door closes on its own randomly but becoming more frequent. I have taken the van to the dealer multiple times and they can not figure out what is wrong. There was no warning light or error shown. Today the door shut on my son’s foot as he was getting in the car. The door fully closed and pinned his foot causing him great pain. He could not twist to open the door and free himself. The door did not safety bump open (as it should have if anything was in the way of closing) It was not until I heard his screams of pain that I ran to his side of the car and opened the door, freeing him. I have attached the photo of his foot.”

“I went to open back tailgate with key fob, no sound or anything - tailgate did not open. I tried inside vehicle buttons for back tailgate and would not respond - no sounds or anything. Nothing was obstructing the back gate on the outside or interior of vehicle to prevent it from opening. I found a video of a 2021 Odyssey having water leaks into the car from the sliding door and rusts the power module causing it to short. So, my husband opened the back fuse box and got into the back panel and removed and sure enough there is water damage to the module. It is about $400 to replace and it is only a Honda dealership part. This is a safety issue because there is no way to manually open back tailgate in case of an emergency. If water is slowly leaking and causing corrosion, this needs to be fixed by Honda.”

“I am reporting a recurring and dangerous failure of the infotainment system and electrical control in my vehicle. The following issues occur intermittently but frequently: Safety Camera Failure: The center display screen often goes black, causing the backup camera and side-view cameras to fail completely. This occurs while the vehicle is in reverse, creating a significant blind-spot hazard and risk of collision. I specifically visited the dealership in early June 2025 to inquire about this issue—and I have video evidence to prove it—yet the electronic fault "magically disappeared" (an intermittent issue) when the vehicle was inspected on-site. Despite this, the dealership still charged me a $300 diagnostic fee. Total System Freeze: The GPS navigation, audio system, and all center console controls frequently stop responding or shut down entirely while driving, causing significant driver distraction. Power Management Defect: Most critically, the infotainment system and audio often fail to shut off even after the engine is turned off and the vehicle is locked. This parasitic draw continues until the 12V battery is completely drained, leaving the vehicle stranded and potentially creating an electrical fire hazard. On 03/20/2026, the infotainment system failed to shut down after the engine was turned off, which completely drained the battery. I had to call AAA for roadside assistance to tow/jump-start the vehicle to the dealership. I have a video recording of the system staying powered on while the vehicle was off. Furthermore, I just replaced the 12V battery with a brand new one in February 2026, confirming that this is a parasitic draw caused by a vehicle defect and not a faulty battery. I am unable to upload videos here, but I reserve the right to present them.”

“When driving the ac will turn down by itself and when coming to a complete stop the car will put itself in park and the engine will shut off completely. The brake light and engine and battery light will come and the car will restart itself and stay in park or I will sometimes have to restart the car myself. The brake light started to flash on 4/16/2026. I purchased the car on 12/18/2025 to finance . The vehicle will slow down and jerk back and forth when driving at a normal speed .”
