2018 Honda Odyssey 4dr Minivan, ext.

280-horsepower 3.5L V6 9-speed shiftable automatic FWD

12000 mi Addressing recall on power sliding doors, but door still doesn't shut correctly all the time. 
1000 mi Bluetooth audio streaming dropped out for 2 seconds every 10 seconds to 1 minute. After holding the car for a week, the service technician claimed the two phones in the family were bad. Car was returned without any repair. Both phones worked in an older Odyssey, the 2017 Accord loaner, my 2012 Mazda, and several Bluetooth devices at home. 
20000 mi The rear blower was making a high pitched squeal 
27000 mi HVAC/Audio System failed - blank screen and locked out. Required trip to dealer to reset/update. 
31000 mi When sitting for more than one day the car would not start. Plenty of power for radio and to open doors but not to start. Dealer tested and it failed. Battery was replaced under warranty. 
35000 mi Satellite radio antenna 
16632 mi High-pitched noise coming from rear blower motor. Diagnosis showed no noise. 
19221 mi

US $231
Battery was failing and couldn't hold a charge. Factory battery warranty is only 3 years with no prorated replacement reimbursement. 
11500 mi nav system was not working correctly 
22000 mi Bad battery replaced 
10000 mi Recall of rear window switches 
35000 mi GPS went haywire. All of a sudden the screen had our vehicle in a field alongside the interstate. We could not enter destinations. We were out of state at the time. Dealership in FL said there was a service bulletin related to our problem and they fixed it at no charge. Transmission still is choppy especially at low speeds (20-40). Very annoying. Our old Honda Odyssey five speed was much more comfortable shifting. 
5580 mi Passenger door window was not responding to driver switches. Took two days as they took a long time diagnosing and then couldn’t get the part until following day. Covered by warranty.

2018 Honda Odyssey 4dr Minivan, ext.

280-horsepower 3.5L V6 10-speed shiftable automatic FWD

3000 mi Battery was dead. Plus engine stop-start stopped working about 6 weeks prior. Battery replaced and stop-start system worked again. 
7000 mi Rear entertainment fails at least once a week on short commute to school. They "hard reset" the system. No parts replaced. Nothing fixed. 
9000 mi Rear entertainment system dies at least once a week during short commutes to nearby school. No parts replaced. Res system troubleshoot during oil change. They told us to take video of when it happens. 
13000 mi RES still failing. Mechanic recommended turning off cabin watch when running entertainment system. They think failures related to cabin watch causing overheating of RES 
770 mi Static in speakers, network connectivity issues that caused the RES to malfunction. Dealer replaced rear control unit. 
15000 mi Head Unit replaced due to navigation system update process failure. 
2000 mi Issues with lane holding software. Issues with front proximity sensors. Issues with foot motion rear hatch opener. Issues with AC temperature control. Total of 12 system writeups, most of which the Honda engineer said worked as designed. Four of these I consider Safety Issues. Repair unsuccessful. 
1500 mi Driver's side window would intermittently stop functioning. At the same time, the driver's side power folding mirror would stop functioning. The master control switch was replaced. The hands-free lift gate is very difficult to operate. Asked if the sensitivity could be adjusted. Was told no and given instructions on how to operate it. Asked the service rep to try it out. They were equally unsuccessful and brought out three more people to try it. No one could get it to operate 100% of the time regardless of technique. This was not repaired. Occasionally when cabin watch is active and the rear entertainment system is playing a DVD or Blu-Ray, a loud static noise emits from the speakers, the video playback freezes and the CabinWatch camera video disappears, replaced by the message, "Camera System Problem. Image cannot be displayed." Problem rectifies itself after the car is turned off for 10-15 minutes. No known fix available. Dealer could not replicate because they didn't have a DVD to try. Dealer of purchase suggested waiting until the next software update in January (four months away). 
8000 mi Software update to fix navigation and hopefully some of the multitude of problems with the entertainment system. Dealer said it was stuck on searching for updates for four hours. Had to leave as the process was only to take a half hour. Never finished. 
17500 mi Audio system issues: Infotainment touch screen occasionally displays error messages, or else goes dark, silent, and unresponsive. This occurs regardless of input source (Bluetooth, USB, XM radio). The symptoms are occasional (once or twice per week) and may be present immediately at startup, or may occur suddenly while driving. No pattern detected. Multiple engine shut-downs and restarts will usually reboot the system. 
32000 mi The touch screen for the audio system was freezing up with satellite channel selections, was also slow to boot up at engine startup. Other times, audio system would NOT boot up at cold starts. After one year and three separate attempts to perform "hard resets" on the system, none of which were useful, Honda finally agreed to replace the audio head unit.

18000 mi Took in to diagnose power sliding doors beeping continuously while driving even when the doors are fully closed. Looks like Service Bulletin 16-074 but dealership will not apply the fix until they can hear it themselves.

Honda TSB 11-022 covers replacing the screen, although despite me asking, the dealer did not have the part in stock and has to special order. Replace photo sensor Dealer said our vehicle needed TSB 11-073 applied to it - reflash battery sensor software.

The key blade fixed to the body of the remote broke off; repair requires new key body. Asked dealer to replace key under Honda TSB 13-100, as key broke exactly as detailed in TSB, using HondaCare extended warranty. HondaCare denied claim, saying the key was "mechanical failure", not electrical, which would have been covered by warranty. Despite the fact that the TSB specifically describes the failure as an engineering defect and the HondaCare terms do not exclude the key (the HondaCare rep asserted that "keys have never been covered under this warranty"). Honda customer service declined to cover the repair too. After arguing with HondaCare again about the specific terms in the warranty agreement, HondaCare covered most of the cost of the repair.

Alternator starting whining loudly. Within two short trips, battery charge light came on. Local shop would not source Denso (Honda OEM) and dealer wanted over $1000 for the replacement.

Light on dash shows tailgate open, we thought it was related to alarm going off. Sliding door still not closing fully. Dealer wanted to charge more, considering problem to be a "different problem". The tailgate pinch sensor has broken wires. Decided to live with tailgate problem indicator light until a new pinch sensor is found. This is not a part readily found, will get one from a salvage yard. Dealer wants to replace the fuse box, costing over $1500 Deemed not worthwhile as we spent already $600 with no improvement to original problem and no guarantee that this repair would fix it. Gave up on them fixing the alarm issue. Trying to get them to at least fix the sliding doors that do not work right after 1st repair. To keep the alarm from going off I ended up disconnecting the hood latch sensor so that the alarm will never arm itself. No parts replaced, cost too high Alarm going off randomly. Seems to coincide with rainy days Disabled the car alarm by disconnecting the hood open sensor. Been fine ever since.

I told them I'll take a look myself. Found the whole part (new blower) for 50 bucks, ordered it, and when it arrived, I put it in (it's legroom of passenger seat). Of course, it didn't work either. Then I did some more research and came across a video on YT that shows the real reason for blowers quittin work: It's the resistance that is used to control the blower RPMs. Found the part online for 35 bucks, ordered it, put it in - works perfectly.
