First incident in 2018, the minivan came to a quick complete stop unnecessarily. A car in front of me had made a quick turn, I was not in danger of running into the car. I had a driver behind me honking his horn. I could have been rear-ended. Next incident occurred this month, March, 2019. Driving down a street, 25 M.P.H. the car shut down completely. I had to pull over, the wheel was hard to turn. After pulling over, I started the car again and drove home. Good thing I was not on a major interstate.both occurred on city streets. August 16, 2018 first incident. March 11, 2019.

Odyssey

Upon proceeding through an intersection the van began to automatically break to a complete stop from approximately 30-35mph, screeching tires, then shutting completely off. The entire dashboard cluster was dark as was the computer display for the radio/other controls. Looking down the "park" indicator was lit red. I pressed the break and the van started up and went into gear driving as if nothing occurred. This scared me and upon my call to Honda, they said it's related to another "electrical system update" which needs to occur but has not been completed so there was nothing they could do. I reached out to another dealership explaining the situation and they advised me to use the roadside assistance to have the van taken to them for safety reasons.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. Within months of owning the vehicle, the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the brake system. The dealer (atlantic Honda, 1375 sunrise hwy, bay shore, NY 11706, (631) 665-0005) test drove the vehicle and heard the noise, but was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.

At 25 mph the collision avoidance system unexpectedly engaged and braked with full antilock vibrations when there was no car within braking range. The car behind me braked hard and an accident was fortunately avoided. This occurred after dealing with the dealer over several days regarding phantom collision avoidance cautions occurring on a daily basis. The vehicle also braked autonomously without any car in front of it earlier in the evening.

Odyssey 6-cyl

  • 636 miles
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. While stationary, the vehicle would not turn off when prompted. On more than one occasion, all of the doors failed to open when prompted by the key fob. In addition, the brake mitigation engaged with a visual and audio alarm; however, there was no other vehicle around. Furthermore, the instrument panel indicators did not illuminate when the vehicle started and the cross-traffic monitor malfunctioned and had to be turned off. Del ray Honda (2500 South federal highway, del ray beach, fl) was made aware of the series of failures. The battery and the tuners were replaced on the vehicle, but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided the contact with case number: [xxx]. the failure mileage was 636. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

On Saturday, 1/27/18 at 9:17am mountain time we were driving in a residential neighborhood following a silver SUV. As we approach an intersection with a green light, the SUV in front of us turned on their blinker to slow down to make a right turn. We were following behind at a safe distance. The SUV slowed down considerably to make the turn, but we remained behind at a safe distance as the SUV made the turn. The automatic collision detection system on our Honda Odyssey flashed a warning, as I've seen before, and the warning was appropriate given the situation. The SUV completed its turn and I reapplied the gas in the intersection. As I did so, the vehicle automatically braked, very hard, causing us to almost come to a complete stop in the intersection. I assume that we were traveling at a speed of appx 15 miles per hour as we entered the intersection. We were almost rear-ended by the car behind us (who honked at us, and with good reason). There was absolutely no need for the automatic braking to engage in this situation. Furthermore, the braking would have happened much too late to avoid a collision had one been imminent. The feeling of losing control of driving your own vehicle is extremely unsettling. While I like the idea of the automatic braking feature, this event is incredibly concerning. No one was hurt and nothing was damaged luckily. But, this easily could have caused a significant accident.
