This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving on a 50 mph, two lane road, the vehicle abruptly shifted into neutral autonomously after experiencing a transmission failure and prohibited the driver from retaking control of the vehicle. With no power available, the driver was ultimately forced to coast to a stop on the shoulder of the road. Warning messages indicated a transmission failure, emission control failure, and blind spot monitoring failure. The car was towed to the nearest Honda dealer.
The engine stall when trying to enter traffic after stopping at an intersection, it pauses for a while take long time to pick up.this is very unsafe when entering traffic or stop sign.it happened constantly since purchased.also after stop, I have to push the gas hardly to pick up to normal drive I went dealer two times they check the car and they can't resolve this issues vehicle has also safety recall, they fixed it I had problems with audio system, no sounds they replace
On 30 Dec 2018 as my family and I drove through osceola county, Florida, our Odyssey displayed an error message that read, "some driver assist systems cannot operate: Radar obstructed." The temperature was around 70 deg F and it was moderately foggy. The message cleared itself after 20-30 minutes and the driver assist systems came back online. We did not see any such error for the rest of our trip. At the end of our trip, on 3 Jan 2019, when my family and I were just outside charlottesville, Virginia, the vehicle proceeded to brake quite aggressively without driver input, as if it were avoiding a collision. It occurred near mile marker 115 on I-64 westbound, on a downward slope at dusk on dry pavement. We were perhaps 1000-1200 ft from the exit itself, well beyond the range of the 'extra long' setting on the acc at 70 mph. The only cars in front of us were already at the exit and did not appear to be undergoing any unusual maneuvers. This off-ramp is particularly long at this exit so I would not anticipate that those vehicles just entering the ramp were decelerating rapidly. I was using acc and lkas, as I had during most of our trip. When the van was braking, I instinctively depressed the throttle pedal to try to maintain speed. That resulted in the engine revving and no change to the hard braking. I disengaged the acc using the 'cancel' button and that appeared to end the hard braking (I may have briefly depressed the brake pedal at the same time but cannot be sure). I will also estimate that we went from around 70 mph to around 30-40 mph in those 2-3 seconds. There was no obvious external reason for the emergency braking maneuver instigated by the Honda's onboard system. This presented a significant potential hazard. We were very fortunate that there were no vehicles immediately behind us or we would have run a very high risk of rear collision.
Upon proceeding through an intersection the van began to automatically break to a complete stop from approximately 30-35mph, screeching tires, then shutting completely off. The entire dashboard cluster was dark as was the computer display for the radio/other controls. Looking down the "park" indicator was lit red. I pressed the break and the van started up and went into gear driving as if nothing occurred. This scared me and upon my call to Honda, they said it's related to another "electrical system update" which needs to occur but has not been completed so there was nothing they could do. I reached out to another dealership explaining the situation and they advised me to use the roadside assistance to have the van taken to them for safety reasons.
The engine stalls when trying to enter traffic after stopping at an intersection. It pauses for up to 5 seconds. This is extremely dangerous when entering traffic. The annoying engine shut down on stopping is, disabled at the time. It has happened constantly since purchased.

Having issue of acceleration at road speed. When doing road speed I have had flat acceleration when pressing gas pedal. Almost feels as if vehicle is about to stall or decelerate. Dealer with vehicle and they can't find issue. Dealer claims they have not had any Honda company reports about this. This event has happened several times. Last event interesting is that this has happened when decelerating to enter ezpass express toll at at 50mph and then trying to accelerate to flow of traffic
If acc (adaptive cruise control) is engaged (as well lkas -- I have not tested with acc alone) and the car goes down a hill (even with moderate slope), the brakes don't applied properly, and the car speed keeps on increasing violating the cruise control setting. At some point during the violation, the car even accelerates with the engine engaging in high RPM; I.e., 100% opposite to supposed braking. For instance, let's say cruise control is at 45mph. The car keeps on increasing downhill till say 51mph, and then suddenly the engine goes to high RPM further accelerating the car dramatically!
