American Honda Motor Co. faces a federal class-action lawsuit that accuses the automaker of knowingly selling 2018-19 Odyssey minivans and 2019 Pilot crossovers with defective infotainment systems and refusing to fix the problem.
According to the lawsuit, filed March 22, affected owners said the defect has caused their vehicles' infotainment system to frequently freeze or crash, disabling features including the navigation system, radio and rearview camera.
The plaintiffs accuse Honda of breaching its warranty, saying, "Under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Honda is required to 'repair or replace any part that is defective in material or workmanship under normal use.' "
