UNKNOWN. The Honda dealer ( Arrow Head Honda, 8380 W Bell Rd, Peoria, AZ 85382) is not repairing the recall, even after multiple follow-up, putting the driver at risk. This has been more than 60days since the recall is announced. Every time, I contacted the dealer, They say that There is no parts available.
This is a follow-up to Complaint 11769813. On October 16, 2026, American Honda corporate officially denied repair assistance for a failed power sliding door latch assembly that refuses to cinch shut on my 2019 Honda Odyssey. Honda corporate stated that a primary door safety latch failing to lock a door shut is "normal wear and tear." This vehicle routinely transports children. The manufacturer is actively refusing to remedy a severe, documented safety hazard that mirrors the exact behavior of NHTSA Safety Recall 18V-795. The manufacturer's refusal to act leaves children at risk of the door opening while in motion.
Front Camera has failed making safety systems not work.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V423000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the part to complete the recall repair was not yet available. A local dealer was notified of the issue and informed the contact that the recall repair could only be performed if another maintenance service was scheduled on the vehicle. The dealer also stated that servicing the recall could not be guaranteed even if an appointment was scheduled. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall remedy.
While driving multiple alerts pop up on the dashboard distracting driver. Had 6 alerts that kept beeping while driving. Took to honda and they say forward facing camera has issues so affects all of these systems. Causing all the safety systems to not work. This car only has 55,000 miles and is only a few months out of warranty. With all the other rear camera recalls, this seems like a way bigger safety concern!
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at 41 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into Neutral (N) and failed to shift into any other gear. The vehicle was pulled over to the shoulder of the road, where it required to be restarted before shifting into Park (P). The contact also stated that on multiple occasions while driving uphill and downhill, the transmission attempted to shift into Park (P), and a grinding sound was heard coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but no diagnostic trouble code was found. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by telephone, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 94,046.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a complete stop at a traffic light, the vehicle hesitated and failed to respond. The vehicle responded after several attempts and operated as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the fuel injector had failed and needed replacement. The contact notified the manufacturer of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.
On October 12, 2026, I contacted Gerald Honda of Countryside, IL, to schedule a repair for the rearview camera safety recall. I was informed that due to limited parts and availability, the earliest appointment they could offer was January 5, 2027. I ultimately had to push the appointment to January 7, 2027. This timeframe far exceeds the 60-day remedy window from the date of initial contact established in the safety recall notice, violating the terms provided for addressing this defect.
SO MANY WARNING SIGNS ON DRIVER'S SIDE DASH DISPLAY. IT IS RELATED WITH FRONT WINDSHEILD MULTI PURPOSE CAMERA. SO I HAD TO PAY NORM REEVES HONDA DEALER TO REPAIR AND RECALIBER. IT COST ME AROUND $2,500.

The vehicle experiences frequent and unpredictable loss of acceleration when starting from a stop. The issue is intermittent and difficult to reproduce under specific conditions. At times, when the accelerator is pressed, the vehicle fails to respond or moves only slightly. Even when additional pressure is applied to the accelerator, there may be little to no response, followed by a sudden and forceful surge forward, as if the accelerator had been fully depressed. I understand that fuel-pump recalls have been issued for certain vehicles of this make, model, and year; however, my vehicle's VIN is not currently included. Based on the symptoms and the severity of the issue, I believe my vehicle warrants further investigation to determine whether it should be included in the recall. This problem first began in 2020, following my purchase of the vehicle in 2019, and has repeatedly created dangerous driving situations. When attempting to cross oncoming traffic from a stopped position, the vehicle's failure to accelerate presents a serious risk of a broadside collision. On multiple occasions, my wife has been left stranded in the middle of an intersection because the vehicle failed to respond to the accelerator. Given the persistent nature of this issue and the significant safety risk it presents to the driver, passengers, and other motorists, I am requesting a thorough investigation into the cause of this malfunction and a review of whether my vehicle should be covered under the applicable fuel-pump recall or receive other appropriate corrective action.
The power sliding driver-side (left rear) door latch assembly on my 2019 Honda Odyssey has experienced a complete mechanical and electrical failure. There were absolutely no warning signs, dashboard lamps, or messages prior to the door suddenly malfunctioning. The built-in closer motor now completely fails to cinch or suction the door shut, preventing it from securing safely into the vehicle frame and triggering a persistent error message on the dashboard after the failure occurred. This creates an immediate, severe safety hazard because this vehicle is routinely used to transport children passengers. An unlatched or unsecured sliding door places my children at direct risk of injury should the door open unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. An authorized Honda dealership service department was contacted regarding this issue and flatly refused to provide a safety remedy or repair assistance, claiming my specific VIN falls outside the narrow manufacturing window of NHTSA Safety Recall 18V-795 (Honda Campaign Z33/O36). Furthermore, I escalated this critical safety issue to American Honda corporate to request assistance, but they have failed to give me an answer within their standard 48-hour response window and I am now approaching 72 hours with no resolution. Despite their refusal and lack of response, my vehicle is exhibiting the exact same dangerous component failure and defective behavior that prompted the original federal recall. The scope of the original recall is clearly too narrow, and it needs to be expanded immediately to protect families facing this manufacturing defect.
I was driving on a parkway with my children aged 5 & 10. No warning lamps or messages were present at any point before this incident: While driving straight ahead on the parkway my vehicle drove over a pothole causing the side airbags to deploy without warning. I immediately felt a burning sensation on my left arm & abdominal pain. My seatbelt had locked tightly, impairing mobility & making it difficult to view and judge the speed of other vehicles around me, thus making exiting the parkway difficult & dangerous. Upon stopping the vehicle I observed the left side curtain airbag & the driver's seat side airbag had deployed. My daughter and I, who are both asthmatic, had difficulty breathing as a result of the expelled airbag gas. My son, seated next to the airbag, suffered pain in his ears and tinnitus from the noise of the airbags. Upon inspecting the exterior of vehicle I observed no damage consequential to driving over the pothole. Inside the vehicle, a quick inspection revealed a damaged headliner from the side curtain airbag, a damaged driver seat from its airbag, & a driver's side seatbelt that would not retract or extend. I did not inspect other seatbelts. Front airbags did Not deploy. NYPD responded but did not take a report. The vehicle is now at a Honda Service department, Honda case#16610360. Presently, the case has been reviewed by a Honda case manager who refused repair for the damage resulting from this incident, in spite of an active recall addressing this issue. [MFR RECALL NO: UNW, NHTSA RECALL NO.:26V227- side & side curtain airbags INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY WHEN THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS STRONG ROAD IMPACTS SUCH AS POTHOLES]. I received no recall notice prior to this incident. I discovered the recall through my own research after this incident. I have no information on what if anything Honda has done to test or inspect any supplemental restraint system or airbag system components. Please see attached photos.
I was just driving normally on my way home with 5 codes suddenly appeared on my dash disable all the driver assist features.
Honda Front camera system failed causing drive assist issues. All ACC, Lane keep assist, forward collision , lane departure, automatic emergency braking, and transmission shifting are not working due to camera is failed. Dealer asked to replace the camera for car to be safe to drive
Forward facing multipurpose camera has failed triggering multiple warning lights. This occurred right after the last recall for the van was completed which replaced the rear camera.
6 months after purchasing our 2019 Honda Odyssey we got warning that popped up about lane departure, collision and cruise control not being able to work properly. When we took it in we were told it was our front camera and it needed to be replaced and recalibrated. It would come to almost $3000 total. It has started to work for a couple of hours 3 times now. We bought this vehicle for it's safety features for our large family, not sure we will get another Odyssey after our issues with this one.
The front camera all of a sudden is malfunctioning - the following has been affected because of it: auto high beam, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation
