While driving on a highway in California we heard a bang above our heads followed by a cracking sound. I knew immediately that the sunroof exploded based on reading posts about it in a facebook Odyssey owners group. Fortunately the interior slider/shade was closed and no glass fell on us. There was nothing above us to fall on the roof. There were no cars on front of us to kick up road debris, nor did we see anything airborne. The road was flat and smooth. The temperature was in the low seventies and had not changed in the previous hour. There is no discernable reason the glass would just shatter. We used duct tape to attempt to hold the glass together to 1) keep it out of the passenger compartment 2) weatherseal the car as precipitation was forecasted. We proceeded on our trip and stopped in flagstaff, az. It was disturbing to find out that we had to purchase the glass from a Honda dealer and have it installed by a commercial auto glass business as the dealer doesn't do glass installation. It is ridiculous that I lost a day of travel to a problem that has been around for over a decade with NHTSA reports and a class action lawsuit about the poor quality of Honda sunroofs.
Safety complaint: rearview camera/display failure on 2024 Honda Odyssey (VIN [xxx]). On [xxx], the center display screen went black and the rearview camera image became distorted and unclear while reversing. Since then, every time the vehicle is started, the display is extremely dim and nearly black-and-white, and the rearview camera image is unusable. A dealer factory reset in early September 2026 did not resolve the issue; the servicing dealer (ourisman Honda of frederick) states the screen will most likely need replacement. This is the same failure mode covered by Honda's 2023 recall for 2018–2023 Odyssey models (faulty display/camera connection, ~1. 2m vehicles), but the 2024 model year is excluded despite exhibiting the identical defect. Loss of the rearview image reduces rear visibility and increases crash risk. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
