2018 - 2023 Honda Odyssey common issues

[@revtlc]

Assemblers used wrong bearing cap on certain 2018 models like mine, passenger slide door almost closes, then goes into reverse, major water leak in trunk area (fixed for free by service dept that found a seal missing, letters on transmission buttons are fading away. 90,000 miles.

I’ve replaced a hand full of pinch sensors for the sliding doors, not super common, but a fairly easy fix. Centre rollers seem miserable on these, so hopefully they don’t turn into a problem like the older generations

[@BCautosolutions]

We have done 2 center rollers, I thought the same although it’s not as bad as it looks.

[@joshuafriedrich5352]

I have a 22 Odessey and the other day as I was driving, I got the “Electric Parking Break Problem” warning and simultaneously the transmission will just randomly shift gears on me for no reason. The transmission issue happens usually when I apply the break. Have you heard of similar issues?

[@BCautosolutions]

I have not. Could be something going on with the charging system possibly. Just a thought. I would bring it into you local dealer

[@mohamedjanahi7536]

Thank you very much for your informative video. I own a 2018 Odyssey Touring (bought it used) and was recently informed by the dealership that my vehicle has a minor oil leak in the main seal, which is located between the engine and transmission. They didn't recommend immediate repair due to the leak's insignificant size. Subsequently, I had an oil change at a reputable independent garage. During a conversation with the service advisor about the oil leak, I was told they had encountered another Odyssey from the same generation with an identical issue. I'm curious to know - is this a common problem with these Odysseys, or is it merely an unfortunate coincidence?

[@BCautosolutions]

We do see them from time to time, although it’s not something we are consistently seeing. As they climb up in mileage they will be more likely to leak tho.

[@mikeschlup5279]

Thanks...I would buy one in the next year or two

[@BCautosolutions]

So far looking good 👍🏻

[@flakov]

2018 odyssey here: transmission replaced at around 60,000-70,000 . It started with a grinding noise and drop of rpm. Christmas light and van did not turn on. Eventually the dealership replaced the fuel injectors and solved the problem. Recalls of sliding door, seat belts and backup camera replaced. Still have that annoying acceleration issue coming off a full stop or while steering wheel is fully turn either side. Now going through the battery drain issue, and yes we triple checked any dome lights left on.

[@BCautosolutions]

@@flakov thanks for sharing, if you come down to the cause of the drain issue, let us know!

[@flakov]

@BCautosolutions It was a bad battery! The autozone said battery was ok with their machine. Put battery back, same thing but no patterns. Long story short took it back one more time before heading to dealership and replaced with new one (still under warranty). Van is good now. Bad battery less than a year old did same to my truck about a little more than year ago too.

I’m having problems with my elite 2018. When I go on reverse, it doesn’t go and I have to turn off the car and turn on, then it will work. When the car isn’t turned on for awhile, I have to warm up the engine so when I put it on drive, it will move. Otherwise, it takes awhile for the car to move then it jumps. Basically, it lags.

[@BCautosolutions]

Yes, that’s like that by design. Once it’s warmed up it won’t do that anymore, if it does then there is and issue.

Took it to Honda for a recall and the noise is worst coming from the dashboard. Honda says that we need a compatable battery from them in order to fix this recall problem.

My wife has a 2020 EX and we did have a problem with the popping radio. Unfortunately, the first tech did not fix it on the first try and 8 months later we had to take it back. The second tech fixed it permanently as it's not been an issue for 2 years now. My understanding is that can be a tricky fix. We also had the recall done for the sliding doors and cluster update. I agree that the brakes on this van are under sized. in 40,000 miles I have turned the rotors once and just replaced them last October. They are now warped again. No comment on why.

What did they do to fix the electrical issue?

[@BCautosolutions]

Thanks for your feedback. Yeah the popping issue was/is i huge issue although like anything else with time we have been able to pinpoint the culprits for each vehicle (all different locations). The rotors are just too damn small with poor cooling which is what it comes down to. Honda will never admit it but the only car we don’t have a problem with are the civic type R which come with massive brakes for its weight.

Have a 2018 Honda Odyssey and the horn quit working. Check the fuse it’s good, bench tested the horn it worked. Of all the steering wheel controls its the only thing not working so I don’t suspect the clock spring. Could not find a relay location even after hours of searching Google and the manual. I finally gave up and took it to a reputable Honda mechanic. They hooked it up to four different scan computers and none of them even recognized that the car even had a horn. Sure can’t diagnose a problem when the diagnostic tools show it doesn’t have the part! Don’t know what to do next. Any suggestions?

[@BCautosolutions]

Have to follow the wiring diagram to see where the open is or if the fuse box is faulty, pretty sure relay is in the fuse box and not serviceable alone.

[@philippatrickuy435]

This happened to our 2018 Odyssey. I also took out the horn and tested it and worked. Checked the fuse. I brought it to the dealership same as you they were stumped but just by coincidence I had to change my battery and magically the horn started working again. Maybe it will work with your situation.

It happens in hot weather. No sound when temperature drops down below 18 degrees Celsius. Tried to tape all gaps of trims and tie up the cables around fuse box but still no luck.

It came on again, and it took to autozone to scan it. The code received was P0420. I had oxygen sensors replaced and so far that hasn’t fixed the problem. so I have it scanned at Oreilly . It read the most likely solution was to replace catalytic converters and exhaust manifold gasket. Went to autozone and it read to replace fuel injector and intake manifold gasket.

The only Honda has proper brakes are the Civic Type R using Brembo brakes system

I have the same issue. I just bought a used 2019 honda oddyssey from a certified dealer (vern eide honda sioux city, iowa) and the first day i got the car home the check emission system light came on. I live 1 hour away so i had to drive and take it to the shop and they said there was a small leak in the lines. They fixed it for free and i was fine with it. Brought the car home and drove it for 4 days. The check emission system light came on again. Contacted them and they said for me to bring it back. I brought the car back to them again. This time they said the car charcoal canister needs to be replaced so they replaced it after i waited 7 days before i got the car back. Drove the car home and in 3 days the light came back on again. Called them again telling them how frustrated i am with the car. They apologized and told me to bring it back again. I brought it back and thia time they said the fuel injectors was pumpimg too much fuel and needed to be replaced. I told them thats fine but you guys need to find out why there ia so much issues and so much leaks with the car. They said it wont happen again. This time i waited 3 weeks before i got the car back. Note: At this point the dealership has had and seen/test drive the car longer than i have all together while owning it. After the 3 weeks i drove the car for 6 days, almost 1 full week. Guess what? Check emission system light is on again. Contacted the dealership sales manager and he said he is sorry what is going on and that he will contact me back asap. 3 days passed and i havent heard a word from the sales manager. I was getting really irritated, pissed off and frustrated with the car so i decided to drive there and talk to the sales managers myself. When i got there i felt like the sales managers and consultants didnt want to help me at all. The sales manager finally came and try to kiss ass to me saying he is sorry and what can he do to help. I told him i want a new car or my money back. He said gice him 1 more chance to fix it. This time itll be good as new and promised me no more leaks and check emission light. I told him i will give him another chance to fix it and if he doesnt fix it i want a refund or a new car or my legal team will be in contact with them. They had the car for a total of 10 days. Claimed they fixes everything. Picked up the car from them and drove it for 6 days again. Guess what. Check emission light comes on again. This time i drove straight to them and demanded a new car or my money back. At this moment im still waiting for another van because they arr currently out. I just thought id shared with everyone about my bad bad experience. Looking around to see if people.had the same issue as i did. For some reason im reading from the 40k - 80 k milage on these cars then the check emission light comes on for a leak, co2 sensor, canister, gas cap, fuel ejectors and much more. Idk why these cars has so much issues with this but it really frustrate me. I lost about $350 on gas money driving 1 hour each time just for them to fix it. Each time i went i had to drive 2 cars.

@@BCautosolutions thank you we have brought it to the dealer I will keep you updated

Sounds like Odyssey's need some drilled and/or slotted rotors

[@BCautosolutions]

Most Hondas need bigger rotors 💯

TRANSMISSION SUUUUUUUUCKS! Delays between hitting the accelerator and the car starting to move (especially when trying to accelerate quickly) have caused my van several near misses. Dealer says it can’t be fixed - an artifact of adaptive tranny. Honda’s aware, but won’t offer a fix because not enough owners have complained. I’m buying Toyota from now on!

[@calviny9384]

I had the same problem with delayed throttle response and then the car would jerk forward from a complete stop. I fixed it by cleaning the throttle body and it has helped a few others too online. Worth a shot

[@BCautosolutions]

How many miles on the van? How often does this happen?

[@BCautosolutions]

@@calviny9384 one of the most overlooked services on modern day cars. Thanks for sharing.

[@GlennYoung-y8j]

This has happened since the van was new. It's been back to the dealer multiple times, but they say "that's normal." I've reported the issue to Honda and to the NHTSA.@@BCautosolutions

[@GlennYoung-y8j]

Dealer claims they've done that - no change.@@calviny9384

I’m not in the market for a van, but I alway appreciate one. The SOHC J35 with the 10 speed is sweet but something I know will be fading away. What’s your take on VCM muzzler? It’s always a controversial topic. Also - would you always disable the start stop? (I know there’s bypasses for that too, voiding warranty aside) Thank you for the rundown as always. There’s always more room for Honda content on KZbin.

[@BCautosolutions]

So yeah the j35/10 at combo works well. We have 2-3 nearing 200k on original powertrain so that’s reassuring. I would stay away from the muzzler, we haven’t had any oil consumption issues or spark plugs fouling with the earth dreams engines thus far. I absolutely can’t stand the auto start/stop and would absolutely bypass it. Appreciate you watching!

[@TranTek]

the new DHOC in the pilot is the proper way to haul these heavy van unless Honda makes changes or else when VCM gets old they cause nightmare of burning oil and the shake will pre mature wear on engine mount on the passenger side

[@BCautosolutions]

@@TranTek im a firm believer that oil consumption is directly related to Hondas terrible maintenance algorithm and it’s extra long oil change intervals. Anyone who has done 3-5k oil changes never seem to have any consumption issues.

[@TranTek]

@@BCautosolutions is that 3k-5k miles of KM ?

[@BCautosolutions]

@@TranTek no, miles

[@1275minicooper]

This honda failed me in so many ways the transmission is weak the brake rotors is no good..tons of issues after100k miles

[@BCautosolutions]

Sorry to hear, how was the maintenance intervals performed?

[@TOBYH]

BEFORE BUYING A NEW ODYSSEY I SUGGEST YOU READ ALL THESE PROBLEMS BELOW BEFORE U DO. HONDA HAS REALLY CUT EXPENSES, RELIABILITY IS GETTING WORSE EVERY YEAR, THEY USED TO BE SO EXCELLENT, MANY OF MY FRIENDS WITH HONDAS ARE HAVING SOME REAL ISSUES WITH THEM, BEWARE MY FRIENDS.

[@tellwilliams4493]

This sounds like nothing should work as it should but it’s not a big deal. Geez, are you getting paid by Honda I wonder WTF with the problem you just mentioned a person to have to takeoff a half a year from work to have this stuff done

[@BCautosolutions]

All cars have problems, people just don’t talk about it as a whole and rather do usb counts and panel touching looking for soft materials. Stop being dramatic.
