2023 Honda Odyssey owner complaints

Radar structed ,blind spot off,brake system light on

Auto stop/start struggles to start at lights or stopped traffic, rough idles and has already killed 1 battery, replaced under warranty and I'm having to charge my new one already since my car struggles to cold start sometimes! Incredibly stressful having 5 kids and 1car I spent a fortune on so it would last forever and it's a lemon I'm holding my breath doesn't strand us any time I have to break.

Around Dec 2024, the central control screen started blacking out. At first, it would black out and then the screen will come back on randomly. We took the car to Tempe Honda service center, and the technician was able to reproduce the problem, and it's covered under warranty. However, they had to order, but they didn't anticipate that it would be in back order. A couple months later, we checked on the status and found out that it was on back order and there is only one manufacturer, so it could take a few more months. We kept on calling to check on the status, and the anticipated back-fill date kept on pushing out. Finally, the screen went completed black and wouldn't come back around Aug 2025. We called Tempe Honda, and the service manager suggested us to call American Honda Motor. We did

Twice while at a stop light, when the car was in Auto Idle Stop, it suddenly shut down completely. There was no power on the dashboard. I couldn't even turn on the hazard lights. The first time, this lasted several minutes, the second time, a few seconds. After this time, the electronics spontaneously came back up and I was able to restart the engine.

My 2023 Honda Odyssey (approximately 38,000 miles) has an intermittent no-crank/no-start condition. Pressing the push-button start produces no crank at all; the engine only starts on exactly the fourth press, consistently. The battery was tested and is good. The condition worsened noticeably after a high-pressure car wash, suggesting moisture intrusion. This matches Honda Technical Service Bulletin 23-023 ("Engine Does Not Crank"), which covers 2018–2023 Odysseys and attributes the defect to water entering the starter motor. The vehicle is about 2,000 miles past the 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. I am concerned the condition will degrade without warning and leave my family — including small children — stranded. The vehicle is scheduled for diagnosis at Tracy Honda in [XXX] on XXX.

Our auto idle randomly will shut the entire van off. Leaving us stranded without being able to go for 15-30 seconds until we can get It restarted. There has been no warnings or codes thrown Early on it has been unable to reproduce for them when at the dealership It has been to dealership numerous times because it’s a scary safety issue with cars usually behind us honking, yelling, and holding up a finger. They did try update some software the most recent time which was unsuccessful. Now they want to put a new starter and relay and engine valve adjustment. Leaving me with the bill for something that happened in warranty since they can’t replicate it within a few minutes

My 2023 Honda Odyssey experienced a serious malfunction of the Auto Idle Stop system at approximately 32,987 miles. While stopped at a traffic light, the engine automatically shut off as designed but failed to restart when I attempted to move forward. This created a dangerous situation because my vehicle was unable to move when the traffic light changed, potentially putting me, my entire family at risk of a rear-end collision. The vehicle's battery had been replaced only a few months earlier, so this problem occurred despite having a relatively new battery. After researching the issue online, I found numerous reports of similar Auto Idle Stop failures involving Honda Odyssey vehicles. This appears to be a recurring safety concern rather than an isolated incident. To my knowledge, there

The front right sensor goes off randomly. Sometimes all day long for days, then nothing for a week or 2 then back to it. Various lengths of time, usually stressfully long times, with nothing aroundcausing stress and making fucus hard. It started a few months after getting the van. We cleaned it, had the dealer inspect it and no one has ever figured out why we have to live with this blaring warning alarm. The dash says object warning with it and if i close that out nothing stops the alarm but putting it in park which I can't do on the interstate or in pickup line at school

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

The straps for the car seat do not secure and are easily untightened. The issue is solely with the Nuna Rava car seat and not the vehicle. My 1 year old was completely unstrapped after driving because he was playing with the straps. After investigating I found I could easily untighten the straps with one hand without pushing the button to release the tension on the straps. Food debris got underneath the strap and was preventing the mechanism on the button from keeping tension on the straps, rendering the car seat useless. My wife called the manufacturer twice and left voicemails but has not been contacted back, I searched the internet and found multiple cases of this and the fix. I have videos showcasing this, but they are too large to upload.

Forward Collision Warning in conjunction with Emergency Braking have major safety issues that need to be addressed. 1st occurance: Driving through a construction zone through cones for lane realignment, van suddenly applied brakes in heavy traffic despite no obstacles in vans path. Vehicle quickly recovered. 2nd occurance: Driving on a dark street, van heavily applied brakes despite no obstacles. The braking occurred rapidly and van nearly came to a stop. Attempted to press harder on gas to override system with zero results. Had I been on a busier street, it would have resulted in a vehicle crash. This is a major safety issues that needs to be addressed by Honda with a recall.

Engine restart failure when I try to start driving after stop for the traffic light. Engine turned off automatically. Experienced 4-5 times.

My 2023 Honda Odyssey, VIN [XXX], has developed an unusually loud noise from the engine compartment when I press the accelerator. The vehicle was purchased in XXX and currently has approximately 78,800 miles. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and did not identify an internal engine problem. The mechanic suspects that the high-pressure fuel pump may be the source of the abnormal noise, but this has not yet been confirmed by a Honda dealership. I am concerned that the noise could indicate a developing fuel-system defect and would like this issue documented and reviewed for any potential safety implications. I request that NHTSA investigate whether similar reports involving the 2023 Honda Odyssey indicate a defect that may warrant a safety recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT T

The vehicle makes a whistling sound form the front of the vehicle, while on a road trip the windshield got foggy and the defroster was not able to clear the windshield due to what I believe is an air leak from the windshield, that’s also causing the whistling.

I have a 2023 Honda Odyssey van. The van has been modified for me to drive from my wheelchair. The steering wheel has been locking up eight times when driving. It won’t out let me go straight or turn left or right. This happens when I come to a stop. It happened twice when driving. The wheelchair modifications company southern mobility said they fixed many times but it still have the steering wheel lock up. Now they are telling me it’s the Honda’s fault. Honda said it’s the van modification fault. Honda said they can look at it for $150 a hour. I am very frustrated and very concerned. I am in a wheelchair, my daughter is in a wheelchair, and I need to take my mom to dr appointments. I feel like my life is in despair l

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at 60 MPH and attempting to make a left turn, there was an abnormal clicking noise coming from the vehicle. The contact mentioned the failure would be present when making a left turn when driving at any speed. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer on several occasions where the failure was not determined due to being unable to be replicated. On a most recent occasion, the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver-side strut failed and as a result both the driver and passenger side struts needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired due to costs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed that the vehicle was out of warranty but offered a discount. The approxi

vehicle makes noise at low speed when turning at inclined or passing over speed bump. i went 4 different dealers regarding this problem but they can not figure out the problem. first, dealership said nothing wrong with vehicle. then i took van to different dealer and they replaced front driver side strut. after few days started hearing noise again. so i took van to different dealership and they retorque sub frame bolt and said problem is fixed. again, i heard the noise next day so i took it dealership again. after looking at vehicle, they concluded that bushing is making noise but they refused to replace it. i have looked at Honda odyssey forum and Redditt, it is known problem with Honda odyssey and they are unable to fix the problem.
