Service Brakes Problems of Honda Odyssey - part 2

The whole adas system went down and a brake system light came on. Van isn’t in warranty but isn’t old either. Just out of warranty. Lots of safety items disabled because of a faulty camera that’s too expensive to replace on our own, so now we operate a Mini-van without all the extra safety items that adas gives you. Guess adas was never intended to improve safety if it only works for a couple of years.

The front facing monocular camera of the adas system has failed on this 2019 Honda Odyssey with approximately 50,000 miles. The failure of this camera has rendered the adas systems inoperable including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assistance. This appears to be a common complaint/failure mode amongst many similar Honda models 2018 - 2022.

For approximately 1 year the collision mitigation braking system will intermittently activate even when no hazards or objects are present in front of the vehicle. This has happened regardless of speed or any other conditions and has even happened while accelerating. There are no lights or warnings that present before the system activates. This poses a hazard of losing control of the vehicle or potential causing a crash due to the unexpected and sudden braking. This problem is intermittent and does not happen every time the car is driving but has happened enough to bring the car in to the service center. The first time we were told they couldn't replicate the problem so they wouldn't look into it. The second time they acknowledged a know issue with their collision mitigation system and recommended the camera and radar be recalibrated at a cost of $850. For some reason this failure of the system is not covered under warranty. They also stated the calibration is not guaranteed to fix the problem.

Prior to purchasing this vehicle, on the test drive, the vehicle slammed on the brakes for no good reason. The dealer assured me the collision mitigation braking system (“cmbs”) can be turned off, so I bought the car. I then learned that the cmbs automatically turns on every time the engine is turned on. I must shut cmbs off each and every time I start the car, but since my other car is a Tesla (which doesn’t have this problem), sometimes I do forget to shut off cmbs. Through out my almost 7 years of ownership, the car has slammed on the brakes countless numbers of times for absolutely no reason at all. Sometimes no cars are behind me, but there have been several times when cars behind me have almost crashed into me due to my faulty cmbs. My elderly mother is in need of a car and I refuse to let her borrow mine because I am scared she will forget to disable the cmbs and get into a crash. I am deeply astonished that with everything that is known about Honda’s cmbs, NHTSA has not taken any action against this dangerous feature. I wonder what NHTSA is getting paid to look the other way. A complete failure of an institution I used to hold in high regard.

On a number of occasions the automatic braking system has engaged when no vehicles or objects were present in the vicinity of the vehicle. This is incredibly dangerous. When I get in the car now I have to remember to disengage that feature before operating the vehicle.

This car continues to slam on the automatic brakes when there is no obstruction. There is no car in front of me today. It almost caused a major accident.

Soft or low brake pedal the brake pedal have a soft feeling and travel to the floor with low effort. This is causing low braking performance and increased pedal stroke. This condition is increasing the risk of a crash.

2018 Honda Odyssey front camera failures. We bought it brand new and found out today that front multipurpose camera was not working properly. There are bunches of warning lights popped up on dashboard: lcc, lkas… problems. I went to google and facebook to see there were so many people have the same problem particularly with this 2018 models. Dealership wanted $1800 to replace camera and they know that was Honda technical issues, not in customers control.

Engine surge when appying brake. This has occurred approximately 6 times in 2024 and happens when applying brakes when coming to a stop. Please note previous reports regarding engine surge when braking.

Failure of multi purpose camera resulting in inoperable adaptive cruise control (or any cruise control), lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, collision mitigation braking system.

The front camera/sensor broke and is not covered under Honda’s warranty. This affects the adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation system, road departed mitigation, and auto high-beam.

This vehicle has experienced random braking incidents while being operated on highways and other roads. Additionally, within a span of five years, two doors have malfunctioned, and the electrical system required replacement. These defects have jeopardized the safety of my family. The vehicle was purchased new at the time of acquisition. Please help.

I'm experiencing several error messages on my 2019 Honda Odyssey, which include issues with the brake system, lane keeping assist system (lkas), auto high-beam, road departure mitigation system, collision mitigation system, and adaptive cruise control (acc). These warnings are not only persistent but raise significant safety concerns, especially during instances where sudden braking is necessary due to a vehicle abruptly cutting in front. The constant illumination of the brake system lights is particularly alarming as it casts doubt on the reliability of the brakes in critical situations. It appears that these problems are not isolated, as other Honda owners have reported similar safety risks affecting both drivers and passengers.

I was pulling into a parking spot with my foot on the brake. My 2023 Odyssey van accelerated instead of braking. There is also supposed to be an auto car warning & braking if you are about to hit a car in front of you. None of this happened! in fact, it crashed into the car in front of me. As soon as it started to accelerate, I released the brake and reapplied the brake as hard as I could. It still hit the car in front of me. It didn't look like there was any damage to their car, but I was very shaken up and now I am worried this will happen again. It happened today, April 18, 2024. My mother was in the car and was as shocked and stressed as I am as the van went from very slow to fast. My body is still shaking. I haven't had it inspected yet. I have an appointment on may 1, 2024, to go to odonnell Honda. The woman receptionist in the service area said I may have had my foot on the gas. I did not because when I pull into a parking spot, I always have my foot on the brake and go in very slowly. As a brand-new van, I am very alarmed and very nervous it could happen again.

Our vehicle is only a few years old and the front camera failed. It will not do any automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, etc. Honda refuses to cover this even though it is a manufacturer defect.

I was driving on the freeway at approx 65mph with no cars around me when the orange light that said brake came on and the car slowed down on its own. Could not override problem for a few seconds.

On March 25th 2024 I purchased a 2006 Honda Odyssey from dfw cash cars llc 325 n riverside drive fort worth texas and the dealer gdn is p167677 the VIN number for the vehicle is 5fnrl38746b109993 when I bought the vehicle I noticed it was making a noise from the engine so I took it back to them and they said even with the warranty I don't know for sure if there was a warranty but they informed me that there was nothing that they could do because the car is already in my name the second day I called them text him and go back up there because now my engine was spitting out thick white smoke from under the hood only when I was idling then a week later I parked my vehicle at the store try to leave the store and it took me 2 hours because my gear shift would not come out of park we have also replaced the brake switch multiple times and now it feels like the brakes are completely going out the trunk never opened the handle is not even intact so then for the past month or so the vehicle starts making these loud roaring mumbling sounds like a lawn mower it will not accelerate whatsoever by the time I get through the intersection I have to hope not to get hit by other cars because the light has already changed now along with all of those issues all of a sudden I hear a wiring crackle pop kind of sound so I thought it was a tire no that is also coming from the engine and it's even louder like a horrible motorboat lawn mower motorcycle all in one and when I put the vehicle in park it gets more intense and louder and the needle in the in-dash located in the instrument cluster the one on the left moves up as if I am accelerating and the roaring sounds get louder like the entire engine is about to blow up or the car is about to explode or quit I am a single mom of five children I have not had any transportation in a year I just had a baby on April the 11th I walked my entire pregnancy until I got this vehicle and I've only had it for a few months and it is a total wreck a lemon.

See service Honda service bulletin 20-100 dated 2-11-2021. The fuel injectors part number 16010 (6ea) has failed and my dashboard display , displays most of the sensors that means there is an actual problem, or a false reading. As a Honda owner, I cannot determine if it is an actual fault or a false reading. I had rusty wallace Honda dealer check the car using obd device and the equipment indicates a code 219a, which indicates bad fuel injectors. Now after the check additional and different sensors are displayed with problems than were displayed prior to this check. The trouble shooting and after displaying the code 219a indicated a catastrophic failure. Rusty wallace has verbalized the results and that I should continue driving the vehicle, that this would not damage the engine or the car. I am not a certified mechanic, but my younger days were devoted to back street work repairing and driving vehicles. Anytime that you starve or flood a cyclinder you had serious problems. I need this vehicle as a daily driver.

Warning messages for the following appeared: brake system lane keeping/assist system collision mitigation system problem road departure mitigation system problem auto-high beam problem adaptive cruise control problem none of these safety features now work. Our local dealership told us it was a failure of the multipurpose camera unit. The fix we are told is a $1400 part. The rear camera was just recalled by Honda and repaired within the last month. This failure should not have happened and greatly impacts the safety of the car and it is a common problem when searching Honda message boards.

1st incident fall 2023 approaching a stop sign, decelerating from 30mph I pressed on the brake to complete the stop but the engine roared, rpms revved, & the vehicle accelerated, better it lurched, forward. I mashed down the brake pedal as hard as I could but it would not stop the vehicle. All I could do was put it into park. Happens almost weekly, at least 7 times, but not predictably. Once in December, I was approaching a four way stop sign around 3:30pm, I had been driving the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes & the weather was good (no ice, partly cloudy, roads clear & dry). As I came to the stop sign, pressing the brake the final time to complete the stop, it roared loudly, the rpms jumped high, and the vehicle surged forward through the intersection. I let off the brake and tried to smash it down again, but it wouldn’t go to the floor (only a mild decompression) so I powered through the intersection, thank god no one was coming. I didn’t pull over or turn the vehicle off, I continued going my way home. 15 minutes later, turning into my driveway the brakes worked normally, like nothing had happened. Jan 5 2024 I took it to a Honda dealership. They upgraded the transmission & flushed the transmission lines three times. They were unable to replicate the issue & could not detect any codes or communication of an issue in the system. I took it home with no answers. Jan 23 2024 I was approaching a stoplight to turn left. I was driving, my brother was in the passenger seat. Weather conditions were good: clear skies, no ice/rain/snow, roads dry & clear. I had been driving the vehicle for less than 10 minutes & I had given it ~ 5 minutes to “warm up” since it’s minnesota. I met a stop sign w/o issue, but then as I approached a nearby stoplight it surged forward just like before. I pressed the brake to complete the stop, the engine roaring so loudly my brother said “it’s gonna blow up!” back to Honda dealership on Jan 31. Still no resolution. Can’t replicate.

The contact's friend owns a 1998 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while attempting to drive from a complete stop, the brake pedal was depressed and travelled down to the floorboard. The contact stated that her son inspected the vehicle and noticed that brake fluid was leaking from the vehicle. The contact's son added brake fluid to the vehicle; however, the brake fluid leaked out. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where the contact was informed that the subframe was severely rusted. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 169,148.

The van has approx 83,000 miles and always maintained by allen Honda in college station texas, and all scheduled maintenace has been implemented. For sometime now the van judders/vibrates during acceleration from a full stop condition till about above 30-35 mph. The condition has gotten progressively more noticeable. There are no caution / advisory lights on the instrument panel. I took the van to auto zone to see what fault codes be read. The auto zone scanner revealed codes 83-1 and 61-1 related to anti-lock brake system. But after reading 26 pages of this site I'm inclined to believe that the cause is related to the power train.

I have a 2019 Odyssey elite and the following lights come adaptive cruise control problem (acc); auto high-beam problem (a); road departure mitigation system problem; collision mitigation system problem; lane keeping assist problem (lkas); brake system lights. My problem is intermittent. I can make it go away most of the time by pouring water over the camera or spraying it from the windshield wipers fluid, then turning the car off and back on. That works sometimes. This makes me think it may be due to heat as the windshield (especially the black web lines around the camera) gets very hot. I also have noticed that at night or in cooler parts of the day the lights do not come on most of the time (have not kept a log of problem yet). One problem could be heat but cooling off with water does not always work. In that case, I lightly tap the camera case with a small rubber hammer (it is locate in front of my rear view mirror), turn the car off and back on, and the lights go out. Water plus tapping works and sometimes tapping alone works. This makes me theorize that the weather (heat in my case but I have seen other say it is cold due to snow) causes the cable/wiring within the camera to loosen (meaning weather [heat or cold] sensitive) cable connectors. Thus cooling with water and or light tapping fixes the problem until the next episode occurs. Who knows it could even be the windshield glass. As I said earlier, there is a black webbing type glass etching around the camera. Some say it is the battery, but I have yet to see a post where changing the battery fixed the problem. When the lights are off, all safety features (mitigation, adaptive cruise control, cruise control) work. I assume auto high beam and brakes system will work also. Forgot to add that when I turn the car off and back on, I have to press enter on the steering wheel a couple of times before the lights go off.

While accelerating, well after a car far infront of me turned, the forward collision warning went off and automatically applied full breaks while I was accelerating slamming my legs into the dash. My kid has marks from his car seat. This is 3rd and most sever instance of this almost causing a severe crash behind me. While I hate the automatic idle stop function and want it gone, it hasn’t worked in 4 week and randomly started doing it today and now stopped again. The ac in the seets also stopped working when temps hit 110 in phoenix.

This event happens intermittently, and has occurred approximately 4 times. When the issue occurs it happens as follows: 1. Vehicle comes to a complete stop, and driver's foot has depressed brake pedal 2. Vehicle automatic start/stop feature turns off engine. 3. Driver lifts foot off pedal, begins to apply pressure to gas pedal. 4. Vehicle automatically re-starts engine 5. Vehicle starts to move forward, and then lurches - it feels like the brakes are being applied by the vehicle independently from the driver's action. 6. Alerts start appearing on the dashboard - a message that the forward collision warning system has been disabled and the "brake" light starts flashing for 30 seconds to a minute afterwards. 7. Vehicle then starts to move forward without issue, collision system message goes away, but brake light on instrument cluster continues to flash for a period of time. This issue presents a safety risk as the vehicle does not respond to driver's input as expected when this issue occurs, appears to brake on its own. Interferes with a driver's ability to move through an intersection after stoping. I have taken the vehicle to a Honda dealership (penske Honda, indianapolis indiana) and they were unable to replicate the issue and did not find any stored error codes in the vehicle comptuer.

Over 20 times our van has breaked when it was not needed. This usually happens when going up a hill and turning, or when a car slows but not enough to need to break. In several instances we have almost been rear-ended due to the sudden breaking. We try to turn off the service, but it has to be turned off each time. With the amount of traffic we have in the area, this is very dangerous.

The automatic emergency braking system (aeb) the collision mitigation braking system or “cmbs. ” ingaged and stopped the van four (4) times when there where no obsticals in front of the van. Twice this happend while making left turns in four-way intersection.

While driving through a section of highway that included a left turn lane my car sensed a collision when I was at least 8 feet from the nearest car. The brakes came on until I past the vehicle.

When braking for an intersection the engine revved after lifting foot from the accelerator and brakes were not able to stop the vehicle until I was in the middle of the intersection. Luckily no other vehicles were in the intersection at the time otherwise it would have caused a crash.

There was no warning display on car today during the incidents. I pressed the breaks and with my foot on the breaks the car accelerates 3 times. I had a car in front of me which is why I stopped but no no one behind me to trigger the car to propel me forward 3 times despite my foot on the brakes. This is second time it does this. I took it in right away to the shop. The first time was a a couple of months before (may 2023) but I had a car behind me so I figured the car took over to avoid a bump in back…but again my foot was on the brakes. And I had a car in front and in back, which could have caused an accident in front. Weird acceleration all the time: when you are at a stop and try to accelerate, the car stalls and then accelerates abruptly. Very dangerous when you have drivers behind you and in front. Collision mitigation warnings keep popping up since 2022, but shop could not see the issue because the display disappears. It pops up randomly and disappears.

Hello, the vehicle needs new tires and the alignment is not working properly after going 60 mph on the highway it shakes.

Brakes: there are several manufacturer communications on investigating brake vibration/judder, but it seems nothing has come from it. I have noticed this problem since owning the vehicle. The problem typically happens when on a downhill slope. Even light and smooth application of the brakes will cause a judder. It feels as if the brakes are being pumped on/off resulting in inconsistent braking action, but the pedal is held steady. It is an alarming feeling, but I can guarantee it will happen on a specific hill as I turn into my neighborhood. Another driver complained of the same downhill braking concern. It is something I have learned to live with, but that shouldn’t be the case. Why is there a feeling of brake pressure release and reengaging with a steady brake pedal? maybe it’s the transmission causing it…: transmission: the software with this 9 speed transmission is abysmal. The tech bulletin that was posted merely resets the software. What we need is a software update, or better yet, a removal of the “adaptation to customer’s driving pattern. ” you know what changes? my driving pattern. And my wife’s, who also drives the car. You know how a car should adjust its shift points? the accelerator depression and rate of depression! this transmission feels like it is about to fall out of the bottom of the car on multiple occasions. I’ve never driven a car with a worse automatic transmission shift response. My first automatic was a 1985. Not only does it sound like internal damage to the transmission during hard shift, but many times it leads to poor response to move the vehicle away from traffic. Variable cylinder management (vcm), has a high chance of causing significant damage to power train components with a negligible return in fuel economy. Thanks, Honda…eyeroll.

A spool valve leak occurred leaking oil onto the alternator which caused it to fail when driving. When it failed, electrical systems started to shut down. At first, the abs system indicator lit up. Multiple systems started to fail soon thereafter. Upon pulling over on the freeway, the vehicle was unable to go in reverse. The root cause was a spool valve leak that is well known and consequently puts drivers at risk when driving at high speeds. When driving down the interstate, all the electrical systems started to shut down. The abs system was the first indicator, along with multiple electrical systems soon thereafter. Once pulled over, the vehicle could not go in reverse as well. . Read more...

While driving down the interstate the van went in neutral and a message appeared on the screen that it was in neutral, pull over when it is safe. The lights on the dash dimmed and no other message or warnings appeared. As I pulled off the interstate I was unable to use the brakes. We tried to put the van back in drive but was not successful. We were able to get the vehicle in park and come to a stop. I turned it off and back on. No other messages appeared. The vehicle drove as expected and brakes worked.

Driving with nothing in lane in front of vehicle brakes are applied. This has occurred several times.
