5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The dominant complaint pattern for the 2022 Honda Odyssey centers on the forward collision avoidance system and broader electrical issues. Owners most frequently report the collision mitigation braking system triggering unexpectedly, applying the brakes without an actual obstacle present, typically at highway speeds. The electrical system draws the second-highest volume of complaints, with owners describing the center display going dark, backup and side cameras dropping out, and the power tailgate failing to respond to either the key fob or interior controls. The powertrain rounds out the top three, where owners report concerns including suspension component failures at relatively low mileage, broken rear springs being one recurring mention. A smaller number of owners report the driver-side airbag deploying without any collision, though that pattern appears in fewer reports than the forward collision and electrical complaints.

With Injuries
By System
The 2022 Honda Odyssey has 9 recalls, the most serious being a software error in the airbag control module that can cause side and side curtain airbags to deploy without warning, raising the risk of injury to occupants.
Two additional airbag recalls involve the front passenger seat sensor, which can misread occupant weight and cause the airbag to fire incorrectly during a crash. On the seating side, second-row outboard seat rails may have deformed locking mechanisms, allowing the seat to shift unexpectedly while driving. Some vehicles equipped with wheelchair restraint systems have retractors that may not lock, leaving a wheelchair unsecured during transit.
The fuel pump can fail and stall the engine while driving. Rear visibility is a concern in two ways: a faulty connector in the camera system can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing on the display, and the heating pads behind both side mirrors may not be bonded properly, allowing the mirror glass to detach. Certain 2022 models with Bridgestone tires may also have a pinhole in one tire that causes a slow air leak, gradually reducing tire performance.
