My 2018 Honda Odyssey has only 3295 miles , I am getting message on display anti theft system lost power . The message displayed 4 times in last three months. Sometimes it is scared to drive the van.
Keep getting error message that my care has lost power between driving and the anti theft on the radio displays. Dealership hasn't been able to reproduce this issue even though I have photos of it happening 15 + times it has happens since the van was a few weeks old.
We have been having issues with our driver side door since it was 6 months old they have fixed it twice now including the recall a few months ago, and it is back to not closing. The first time they fixed it when we were waiting on parts the door got totally suck closed and could not be opened any way. This is becoming a safety issue. I have 10 plus videos from over the last 18 months where the door refused to close and bounce back open multiple times I have to switch the door to manual to get it to close, we also get a anti theft error at least 1 time a week and Honda has no idea on that error either. All my photos and videos are too big to attach.
Beginning at 10,077 miles in January 2018, my vehicle began experiencing lost power to radio/tuner/touch screen at vehicle startup. Many occurrences have been documented with video. This screen also serves as a controller for phone calls, navigation, and it is the backup camera display. Electronic failure symptoms later included issues while the vehicle is in motion: slow navigation system performance, delayed backup camera images when trans is shifted into reverse, display "freezing" with and without hands-free phone system active, unexpected muted phone calls, inability to disconnect a phone call, warning messages appearing on display, anti-theft system failure messages. Each occurrence while the vehicle is in motion represents a distraction of driver attention. The touch screen/display/central controller/audio unit has now had 7 repair attempts. I have full documentation which is too large to upload. Through internet forums, other Honda Odyssey owners have identified their Odysseys as plagued with similar display/controller failures. American Honda motor CO is aware that such problems exist, and they are unable to provide a remedy. Further, american Honda motor CO is unwilling to provide relief and protect me, the consumer, through a voluntary vehicle buyback/repurchase.
Headlights: when the van was purchased I discovered several days later that the drivers side headlight was not working. Discovered the lights was not plugged in. December 18 & 27 the anti-theft system disabled. The dealership picked up van and said they repaired. I was told there was a connection that was not securely clipped together. When this happened I had been parked and away from the van for at least an hour on both occasions. When I started it to leave the error message was on the screen. Immediately contacted the dealership both times.
1. Failure of the rear entertainment system: the rear camera and entertainment system will lost "network connectivity" and stop functioning 2. Brake mitigation system: spontaneously turns on 3. Failure of the infotainment system: the infotainment system will turn off and go into a series of failures, ultimately turning off completely and not functioning. The infotainment system will also experience power errors resulting in errors with the anti theft system. In addition, the radio/speakers periodically stop working.
