I purchased a new 2019 Honda Odyssey elite on 9/17/2019. I drove to work as usual, made sure all electricals (e. G. , dome lights, headlights, etc. ) were off, parked and alarmed my vehicle. Car remained parked while I worked. After my shift, I tried to use the remote engine start, but noticed the car didn't start. I pressed the unlock button on key fob, but no response; the car remained locked. I tried to unlock via Hondalink app, which displayed that car was unlocked. I attempted to open any car door, but they remained locked. I was left stranded in f heat and no nearby shade. Luckily my family weren't there or they would've also been left baking in the heat. I used the manual key to unlock the driver side door and got in. Then tried to start the car but no response at all (I. E, no lights on the hud, lcd monitors, etc. ). Also tried unlocking other doors from inside; nothing worked. Called Honda roadside assistance & they sent someone to help. Guy tried jump starting car, still nothing. Said he even sent "direct current" to car, but absolutely no response; no lights of any kind, no access to unlock other doors or open windows. Called Honda roadside assistance again. They sent a tow truck to tow car to nearest dealership. Tow driver arrived, but couldn't tow my car as there were cars parked in front & in back of my car. There was also no way for him to put the car into neutral due to the electronic shift feature. We looked in car manual for solution. About 2 hrs later, the driver discovered he was able to start car by using key fob to press the start/stop button. I drove to dealership & told them exactly what happened. Said they would perform thorough inspection. It's been 1. 5 days & they still don't know the problem. Said they couldn't replicate problem. I'm scheduled to pick up my car today but am hesitant & afraid of being stranded with my family when travelling.

On July 2nd our vehicle wouldn't start. Prior to this date the vehicle worked fine. We call Honda roadside assistance and they came and jumped it. My wife let it idle for nearly 1 hour and turned it off. She returned an hour later only to find it was dead again. I decided to come home and jumped it and drove it down the hwy. While driving down the highway there was some vehicles swearving around some debris on the road and when I applied my brakes the vehicle lost power and I wasn't able to stear the vehicle fast enough and hit some of the debris. I let of the brake and the power came back on. I drove home turned the vehicle off and then tried to restart it again only to discover it was dead. I got out of my vehicle and inspected the front end which had minor scratches and cuts in the lower front driver's side bumper.

The car would not start, however all the lights would come on. If we played with the locking system the car would start, but the rear door would lock and not open. This would happen often. Recently, the rear trunk, door, is completely locked and will not unlock. There is no way of opening it.

We tried to start our van early Saturday morning 6/15/13 and it was completely dead. After jumping it, we realized we hadn't left any lights on so we drove it to the nearest Honda dealership. We were told there's been a rash of this issue recently and to just make sure we turn off the air conditioner before turning off the engine and we should be okay. We drove 2 hours away from home and stayed overnight. The next morning the car didn't start again even though we had turned off the air conditioner. We bought a new battery for the car thinking it was the battery. The next weekend the car died again. This time we took it back to the dealer. They told us that the a/c compressor relay was stuck and caused the a/c system to over pressurize releasing freon into the atmosphere and discharging our battery. The dealer said that this has been a recall in other models but not our van. I feel that, although we were not in immediate danger, this should be a recall for the Odyssey and all other owners should be made aware of the issue.

Honda Odyssey lx 1996 would not start in a parking lot so I called for a towing service. Towing service tried to unlock engine using door lock trick and the engine started. Two days later the engine died while on the highway. I had to coast to an exit ramp, and it would not start at all after that. Modot truck stopped to check it out and recommended to have it towed. Vehicle was towed to Honda dealer; said it was an ignition switch defect.

Faulty ignition switch causes the engine to spontaneously shut off while the vehicle is in motion. Since the engine cannot be restarted while not in park, this requires coming to a complete stop without the aid of power brakes or steering. This has happened multiple times and various speeds and conditions. It is very similar to the situation in recall 05v025000.

I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey that suffers from the same issue Honda is recalling other vehicles for. My wife has removed the key from the ignition twice while the van was still in drive. She only noticed her error when the car would not start back up. Neither time was there an accident involved, as she was parked on a flat surface.

Car will not start. Ignition switch remains locked. My 2003 Honda Odyssey will no longer start. Prior to this, I went to Honda service to complain about the frequent incidents of my ignition switch failing to unlock. They said that this was due to wear and tear and I will have to spend over $500 to replace the key cylinder. Are they putting substandard key cylinders? I understand that other models of Honda are being recalled due to ignition switch problems. Haven't they done anything to eliminate this problem with the Odyssey models?.

Electrical problem with my Honda Odyssey 2005 I brought it brand new and every time I sit in the vehicle it will not start. The dealer told me battery drained out. It already happen 4 times and the main switch of the light is already off they keep on saying that we left the light on. For goodness sake!!! we have 3 cars and this van only has the problem. We think something is wrong in the system that's draining the battery I told them several times but they won't believe me. I am worried about my warranty what if it expires then suddenly they will find out what's wrong with the vehicle and payment will come out of my pocket. Please advise thanks.

My wife was driving the 1999 Honda Odyssey ex home on the freeway. We were going home after having dinner. And the check engine light went on,we heard a noise and soon after all the dash lights went on followed by stiff steering wheel, and then the Honda completely shut off. We were able to coast to the side off ramp off the freeway. We tried to restart but the Honda would not restart. I had the Honda Odyssey towed to my regular mechanic. He looked at the Odyssey and informed me that my engine was shot. The Honda has not been driven ever since,it is parked and non operational. I do have a Honda invoice that states that they performed safety recall (ignition switch) repair on my Honda Odyssey invoice date of 8/30/2002.
