The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. While driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was restarted and immediately driven to the local dealer (sheehy Honda, 7434 richmond hwy, alexandria, va). The vehicle was examined, but no failure was found. Approximately nine months later, the failure recurred. While reversing out of the driveway, the vehicle suddenly jerked and abruptly stopped when the transmission erroneously switched from reverse to the park position. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver side sliding door was faulty. The door unlatched while driving and the vehicle automatically turned off. A software update was performed to correct the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 80.

Having issue of acceleration at road speed. When doing road speed I have had flat acceleration when pressing gas pedal. Almost feels as if vehicle is about to stall or decelerate. Dealer with vehicle and they can't find issue. Dealer claims they have not had any Honda company reports about this. This event has happened several times. Last event interesting is that this has happened when decelerating to enter ezpass express toll at at 50mph and then trying to accelerate to flow of traffic

1. one of the two keys provided did not open the doors. We took it to the service center and it was reprogrammed. 2. a few weeks later, the driver door would not unlock, not even from the inside. They had the door latch replaced. 3. last week the back door would close but would not lock by itself. On the way to the service center, we went over a speed bump and the transmission shifted into neutral gear and shut off. An "emission system problem" warning light came on on the dash. We called road assistance to take it back to the shop. They ran extensive tests but could not find anything wrong. The technician working on it, hooked up a computer and took it home. The next day he called and indicated the transmission control computer was defective and would order it to have it replaced. Today.

New 2018 Honda Odyssey elite (10-speed transmission) driving on highway and many error messages appeared about steering system, brake system, lane departure system and other failures. Car started having problems downshifting. High rpms for speeds where it should be lower. Sent to dealer for 1 week. Dealer replaced powertrain command module and O2 sensor. Messages disappeared. 1 week after that, transmission started having problems downshifting again while driving on highway. Parked van and center console screen went black then had broken lines of pixels in one or two places.

We were driving on I75 North on sat June 10. We were right before the atlanta macon split. The vehicle completely shut down at highway speeds. The dvd player turned off. The engine turned off. The entire instrument panel went dark. There was no power to anything. The vehicle turned back on in "park" creating a horrible popping noise. The dealership (willett Honda) in morrow ga looked at the vehicle and cannot find the source of the power failure. They have been instructed to return it to us. The case number at Honda is 06075564. Jerry hogan at bommarito Honda in hazelwood mo is the sales manager and he wants us to drive the vehicle in spite of the obvious safety defect. Honda cannot detect the cause of the issue.
