When I start the engine, I switch the gear from parking to drive mode and give it a gas, but the gas doesn't reach the engine the way it should, then after it starts running super fast even if I barely give it a gas, the timing belt is now making a cranking noise. Dealers told me it was an engine problem inside the engine. The dealer mechanic are even very surprised why this happened and after again I took it to other mechanics, and they told me the same thing and also they told me about the recall and after I've seen a recall on Honda Odysseys with different VINs, but my car has the same problem (NHTSA Campaign Number 23V-751). This issue is a manufacturer's issue and my car has 118,000 miles on it. I just bought it six months ago for $37,000 and it's out of warranty. I need help. All the mechanics suggested it has a manufacturing problem including the dealer mechanics, also they advise me to this page to report and get some help.
Warning lights started being displayed stating that multiple vehicular functions were not working. (Vsa stability, emissions system, brake system, brake hold system, power steering problem) Upon inspection at the dealership I was told it was a fuel injector problem and it was not covered under the recall. The fuel injector is currently on back order and I have been waiting several weeks for a part. The estimate that was given to me was around $1200. I believe this should be covered by Honda
The vehicle listed above with Vin [XXX] often does not takeoff properly. When pressing the gas, it lunges forward as though it did not receive any gas to the engine or the engine stalls, or does not operate correctly. This issue has been addressed with several mechanics, and no pertinent ruling has ever been established as to why the vehicle does this.

On multiple occasions when traveling at a low rate of speed when the accelerator is pushed there is no response for up to 2-3 seconds then the car suddenly accelerates forcefully because the gas pedal has been pushed to the floor with no response. It has mostly happened when we are making a left hand turn and have slowed. Due to the seconds of delay we have been almost t boned and are hesitant to make a left hand turn if there is any traffic because we don't know if the car will immediately accelerate or if it will hesitate. We are able to reproduce it to some extent by accelerating the car to about 5-7 mph, letting off the accelerator and then reapplying pressure to the accelerator. We took the car to the dealership and they reproduced it and contacted the Honda techline who told them it is normal. It has been scary for myself and my wife and does not feel normal for the car to have a complete delay in response and then over respond.
This vehicle decelerates or loses power while driving. This has happened 3x. Also vehicle is lag in accelerating from take off, my fear of getting t-boned if it stalls Most recent date below. Has been taken to dealer numerous times

For over a year, when ever I press on the gas to accelarate the car stalls and this is very dangerous as it could cause an accident. It is not related to being low on gas as it happens even the the tank if full. The most recent issue happened yesterday. I was on a stop sign, and when I pressed the gas to go, the car moved forward a bit and then it stalled, leaving me on the middle of the intersection about to get hit by upcoming traffic. I was able to press the gas a couple of time and get car moving, but I was about to get him. A few weeks ago, again I had a similar situation. I was at a red light, and when I pressed on the gas, my car stall and wouldnt move, causing everyone behind me to honk their horns. I once again then to press the gas a couple of time for car to move. In addition, a few weeks ago, I was yieling to enter a highway, and when I press the gass to speed up and enter it, the car once again stall and was about to get hit by upcoming traffic. The issue is not related to gas tank, as I just recently had that replace after it suddently rip. Not sure how that happen, maybe another think to consider looking into. When I advised the dealership of such, they said stalling is normal due to type of engine. There is nothing normal of putting your life at risk. This is an accident waiting to happen.
The defective part is the fuel pump it cause the vehicle to stall when operating, increasing the chance of a crash. Also the car won-??t start. Took the car to the dealer and gave me an estimate.
Under certain conditions, the accelerator pedals fails to provide propulsion when depressed. The most common scenario in which this happens is when leaving a parking area and proceeding onto a roadway, especially if the parking area is elevated above the street slightly. The driver depresses the accelerator pedal slightly to move the car from a standstill, but then releases the accelerator due to the slight downhill, or transition onto the roadway. When the accelerator pedal is depressed again, nothing happens. Often the pedal will travel all the way to the floor with no result. Or sometimes, the engine/transmission "catches" and an abnormally large amount of power results in spinning tires. In any case, this is extremely dangerous, and has nearly caused accidents with oncoming traffic when pulling out onto busy streets. It happens fairly reliably, approximately 70% of the time when depressing the accelerator pedal more than once. I have not sought dealer service on this yet but will be in the coming weeks.
On June 16, 2023 When I got in my van and turned on, about 8 different system failure lights started singing and light up across my dashboard. I proceeded to drive it and it drove fine most of the time but then it would misfire or loose power. I took to a mechanic who plugged unit to read all the codes it was displaying. The ones that showed were P0300-P0306 and P219B. The mechanic pulled up and saw an extended warranty from Honda had been issued for my type of van, 2019 Honda Odyssey Touring. I called Honda to make appt to get fixed and was told that my VIN wasn-??t included in the extended warranty. My van is displaying the exact issues the extended warranty covers and is clearly in need of the corrective actions listed by Honda. My gas mileage has been greatly affected and my and my children-??s safety. When driving it will loose power and become very jumpy. When it looses power, there are times I-??m going 50-60 mph and it-??s dangerous because I suddenly drop speed and could potentially be hit. There have been codes in the past that have come on and when checked they signified dirty fuel injectors and cylinder misfires. The warning messages would go off just as randomly as they appeared. This time it-??s different and the lights have stayed on. I am pleading with NHTSA to please consider including my VIN/van in a safety recall. This is an issue that Honda should address to all 2018-2019 Honda Odysseys and not just the few it knows about. The fuel injector machining process is clogging the inside of the injectors. Honda knows this. It-??s dangerous to those of us who purchased their vehicles.
On 7/24/2023, my 2019 Honda Odyssey hesitated on start but did eventually start after a 5- second delay. After 6 miles on road, the car began to hesitate, choked, decelerate on its own even with foot on gas petal, and finally won't move an inch. The following warning lights were triggered: Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Emissions System Problem, Power Steering System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, and also To Start Engine: Brake + Push. The 2019 Honda Odyssey was towed to the Honda Dealer near me. They kept the car overnight and it stalled and died on them too. The dealer said the fuel pump needs to be replaced. I collected my memory and recall the car has experienced jerky moments at times lately. This strike me as a prematurely dead fuel pump as fuel pumps are designed to last at least 100,000 miles of the life of the car. I found out that there was a fuel pump recall in 2021 but I did not receive any notification. With a prematurely dead fuel pump and my experience, I believe this car should be part of the recall as the defect may be more widespread, affecting more than just what the Honda manufacturer has recalled. Furthermore, this is my third Honda, but this has brought many problems causing me to have called AAA 4-5 times so far and towed twice in the last couple of years.
Van just randomly wouldn't start, has nothing to do with battery. I was told it was the fuel pump, saw a recall for fuel pump. Looked up to see if my vehicle was under the recall, but it said it wasn't.
My 2019 Honda Odyssey regularly hesitates from the stopped position or when quick acceleration is needed on the highway. This causes a safety hazard when making turns into traffic because I am not able to accelerate for approximately 1 second before I am able to increase speed. It is a known mechanical defect with Honda and they do not currently have a resolution. I reported this problem to my dealership and was told that this is "just how the Honda 9-speed transmissions are designed" and there is no fix. Not only does this cause performance issues, there have been several close calls when I have made a turn into traffic and when I have had to accelerate to make a lane change on the freeway.
Our approximately 50,000 mile Odyssey died while driving on Mar 25, 2023. Thankfully the vehicle was only going about 10 MPH as I was pulling up to a stop sign. First failure notice was -??emissions system problem-?? and then every error available to the system flashed after that. Would not restart. Towed to dealer and found no fuel pressure and fuel pump failure. I was never given notice of the fuel pump recall and this website says all my recalls are complete. Clearly there was an issue with the fuel pump. The replacement fuel pump is on back order with no ETA for availability. Vehicle has sat at the dealer for 4 weeks with no estimate for when it will be available for us. I speculate that Honda hasn-??t told everyone about the fuel pump recall in the hopes that the pumps don-??t disintegrate in the tanks while driving because they mismanaged their supply chain. Could be months before a -??like-new-?? vehicle is drivable again.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM: vehicle hesitates at times when stepping on gas pedal and then just blasts off. When entering a roundabout after a standstill, the power is not there, oncoming traffic is still advancing. First reported and assesssed on 5/19/20 with software update performed. Issue has never been resolved completely. No warning lamps or messages ever appeared.
Several times when I ja e pushed the gas to try and hurry to go the van will stall and won't go almost cause me to get in an accident each time. The last time(1/16) I actually had passengers in my van and it scared the crap out of them and me. It seems like when I punch the gas pedal it isn't getting the gas to go right away. I had it checked out at a Honda dealership but they said the van didn't do what I was explaining. It doesn't do it all the time, however if it wasn't for the grace of God and me having a quick reaction to hit my brake after the van hesitates to go, I and some other people either wouldn't be alive right now or would be severely injured.
The low pressure fuel pump has failed. Honda has issued recall #21V215000 in March of 2021 regarding this issue on almost a million vehicles. My vehicle has failed, leaving me without transportation in the winter. Thankfully the car just failed to restart and I wasn't in traffic but this could absolutely happen to others (as described in the recall) so it is apparent that Honda was not genuine in their attempt to fix this problem as there are obviously other models in the year & model range they recalled that are being exempted from the recall that are destined to fail.
Our car has failed to start 3 times in one week. Our battery has been throughly inspected and nothing appears to be wrong with it. We have jump-started our car in July, and twice this week. (Once yesterday and once today.) We are not sure why this is the case.
Braun wheelchair conversion on 2019 Honda Odyssey. Gas overflows from below due to gas line in fuel tank. Fuel tank replaced on Honda by braun, braun hand builds the defective tank. Fire department had to come because of all the gas overflowing under van. I had filled the gas tank night before, 12-16 hours later while parked in my drive way gas was leaking onto driveway at least 2 gallons. Looked like a slow drip that time I saw it was a spewing faucet. I had van towed to Honda dealership but was transferred to braun dealership. Braun is going to make another fuel tank after Jan 6 in Indiana then ship to lubbock Texas end of Jan, early Feb. Same set up ! I don't want this unsafe van that may again spew gas and high risk for explosion or fire.
