What owners wrote

Since 2020, we have noticed that the 2018 Honda Odyssey we own will not accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed. There is a noticeable delay between 1 to 3 seconds for the vehicle to accelerate. Once the vehicle accelerates, it does so at an increased rate of speed that is dangerous and scary. This has led to 100+ near miss collisions with pedestrians and other oncoming vehicles at 4-way lighted intersections, highway on-ramps and other driving scenarios.

May 2024 Injury

2018 honda odyssey exl resnav w/ 9speed at aside from the transmission I also wrote up our odyssey has used the collision mitigation auto braking system several times to not just slow but completely stop the vehicle. This did not happen just once. Or just to my wife the primary driver. It's happened to both of us multiple times. As you can imagine having the car 'take the controls' and stop the vehicle when you have the accelerator depressed to pass a vehicle this is unsafe.
