ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Both sliding door keep stopping when closing or opening. Have to manually do it sometime. Rear door don't close anymore either only opens has to always be manually close.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

The monocular camera failed causing the car to lose all ADAS features. Honda said this not a recall issue and I have to pay for the repair which is significant. Not only are all the ADAS features lost, but the dashboard flashes warnings and beeps reflecting the lost features

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE

Stopped at a light, auto idle stop engaged, engine shut off normally. The moment I pressed the gas, everything died — engine and all electronics. I pressed the start button two or three times with no response, then it finally started. It was still in Drive. The hazards wouldn't turn on right after, then everything gradually came back to normal.

BACK OVER PREVENTION

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, several warning lights illuminated. The warning lights flashed continuously. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed multipurpose camera unit. The dealer determined that the multipurpose camera unit needed to be replaced; however, the contact was informed that the failure was not associated with the recall. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V423000 (Back Over Prevention). The contact stated that the failure was a known issue with the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 31,600.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE

The electronic module for rear power tailgate quit working due to water getting inside module. This causes rear lift door to malfunction. Ive seen online there's been a class action lawsuit for this and the door can open randomly. This has not happened to mine. It just quit working and beeps excessively. I had it repaired and it happened again 7 months later. It has been diagnosed by honda dealership. Thanks

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

On September 14, 2026, my 2020 Honda Odyssey experienced a sudden, severe low-pressure fuel pump failure while idling/parked. The engine began running extremely rough, surging repeatedly between 300 RPM and 1,000 RPM, knocking, and stalling. I was parked at the time, preventing a severe accident. Upon trying to restart, the vehicle turned over multiple times and would only catch when depressing the accelerator pedal, accompanied by cylinder knocking and an engine thermal spike. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair facility (Tuffy Auto Service). The diagnostic scan confirmed DTC P0087 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low). A mechanical gauge test showed the low-side fuel pressure dropped to 10 PSI (far below the standard operating pressure of 50–60 PSI). The shop verified that the in-tank low-pressure fuel pump assembly failed internally and requires complete replacement. This failure, symptom pattern, diagnostic code (P0087), and component match the exact defect profile in NHTSA Recall 23V-858 (Denso Low-Pressure Fuel Pump Impeller Failure). However, when checking my VIN, American Honda claims this specific vehicle is excluded from the recall range. American Honda Consumer Relations subsequently refused goodwill assistance due to non-dealer service history and vehicle resale status. This creates a severe safety hazard. A vehicle experiencing a sudden drop to 10 PSI fuel pressure while driving in traffic will lose motive power, stall unexpectedly, and disable power steering and braking assist. I am submitting this report because American Honda has failed to include all affected production batches in Recall 23V-858. I request NHTSA expand Recall 23V-858 to include out-of-range 2020 Honda Odyssey VINs exhibiting identical low-side fuel pump failures.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE

I randomly received a series of 6 warning messages when starting the car on 9/3/26. They were all warnings related to the automatic safety features such as lane departure, collision detection, auto bright lights, etc.I took it to the dealer on 9/4/26 & they diagnosed an internal failure with a multi-purpose camera embedded in the rearview mirror. The dealer ordered a new part, installed and reprogrammed and recalibrated the camera. This vehicle has been owned only by me, is kept in a garage away from weather exposure, there is no reason for this part to fail on a 6 year old car with a hefty cost to the consumer.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE

​I am writing to issue a formal complaint regarding gross negligence, logistics failures, and deceptive service practices surrounding mandatory recall work on my 2020 Honda Odyssey. ​1. Failure to Complete Recall Software Work After Overnight Retention On Tuesday, September 1, your service department texted stating: "the software update did not finish. We do need it overnight." We agreed to leave the vehicle. However, upon pickup, the infotainment display confirmed that the update was never completed and remains stuck at Step 5/6 (System Update 24084.7 / Front Control Box B.1.4.6). Retaining a customer's vehicle overnight under the guise of completing software work and returning it unfinished is a direct misrepresentation of labor performed. ​2. Extreme Logistics Failure and Disregard for Customer Time At 12:55 PM on Wednesday, September 2, your department texted: "Ready to go now!" My wife arrived promptly, yet your staff forced her to wait until 2:40 PM—nearly two hours later—before physically releasing the car. This gross delay caused her to miss our children’s school pickup, forcing me to leave my workplace unexpectedly to handle child transportation due to your operational incompetence. ​3. Cascading Network Faults and Critical Safety Systems Disabled Prior to service, the dashboard displayed minor Sensing suite warnings, for which your department quoted an exorbitant $250 diagnostic fee. Upon picking up the vehicle, the dashboard warning count escalated from 5 to approximately 9 active system failures. Due to the interrupted ECU software installation corrupting the CAN-BUS network, the following primary vehicle controls are now completely inoperable: ​Supplemental Restraint System (SRS / Airbag) (Newly triggered post-service) ​Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System ​Automatic Brake Hold System ​Electric Parking Brake (EPB) System ​Electric Power Steering (EPS) ​Hill Start Assist ​Honda Sensing Suite (Lane Departure, Collision Mitigation, Road Departure) ​Releas
