Warning problems of the 2023 Honda Odyssey

The present complaint alleges as follows: 1. Honda has a defective design in the advanced driver assistance systems (adas) of all Honda Odysseys, models 2018-2023. 2. Namely, Honda has placed the radar behind the large Honda emblem on the front grille. This causes the radar to give a "radar obstructed" warning, which disables all advanced driver assistance systems in the car (automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning). 3. The "radar obstructed" warning cannot be reset by restarting the vehicle or disconnecting the battery, requiring recalibration of the radar at the cost of $800 each time since it takes several hours to do (per dealership). 4. The official Honda Odyssey forum online has countless complaints on the same issue without resolution by Honda. 5. Honda has acted in bad-faith towards their customers since this defect impacts the vehicle's advanced safety features for which buyers incur additional expenses, endangering the lives of passengers. 6. Honda has acted in bad-faith towards their customers by designing a system that requires continuous and substantial expenditures without resolution because it is an engineering problem, I. E. , the placement of the radar behind the large, thick plastic h emblem obstructs the radar. 7. I hereby ask that the NHTSA investigate this issue and order Honda to offer a solution in the form of a recall that permanently addresses the problem.

While driving 35-40 mph, the car started acting strange, shaking and multiple alerts began appearing. No cars were around me and I was able to get the car over to the shoulder quickly. (mileage 35,483. Owned car 20 months) messages appearing: electric parking brake problem, adaptive cruise control problem, road departure mitigation system problem, collision mitigation system problem, hill start assist problem, emissions system problem, electric parking brake problem, electric power steering problem, vehicle stability assist problem, cmbs problem. I turned car off and on, multiple times, hoping it was a fluke, but car was shaking and messages kept appearing. I called Honda roadside & car towed to dealership. Was told internal failure of oil pump was the problem. Techline reported multiple vehicles with same codes and same motor have had the same problem. Replacement of spool valve, valve cover gasket & valve was the fix. This may be a future recall. Car drives fine now after being repaired!.
