Stalling on other Odyssey years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2015, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Stalling reports are some of the most alarming on the site. The engine quits while the car is moving, sometimes on a highway and sometimes at a stop. Many owners say it restarted right away and the dealer found no stored code, which is part of why these complaints pile up before anything gets fixed.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the fuel pump (28 reports), the battery (12 reports) and the alternator (3 reports).
Recalls and investigations
8 recalls on the engine cover the 2019 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail.
Due to a manufacturing error, the connecting rod bearing in the engine may wear and seize, damaging the engine.
The low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail.
The fuel tank assembly installed by Braun may be susceptible to the fuel tank overfilling into the charcoal canister. If the charcoal canister fills with a sufficient amount of fuel, fuel may leak out.
Incorrect central network software programming may cause several errors to occur that can delay or prevent the rearview camera image from displaying.
The wire harness for the third row seat accessory power outlet may get pinched between the unibody and rear trim panel, possibly damaging the wires and causing an electrical short.
Loose battery terminal connections or a degraded battery may cause the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) to unexpectedly reboot. Upon rebooting, the TCU may shift the transmission to the "Park" position, possibly damaging the parking rod.
The timing belt teeth may separate from the belt.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2019 Honda Odyssey that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Due to swelling of the fuel pump motor impeller, the fuel pump may seize and stop working. If this occurs, the check engine light may be displayed with DTC P0087 (Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low) stored, the engine may not start, or the engine could stall while ...

“The defective part is the fuel pump it cause the vehicle to stall when operating, increasing the chance of a crash. Also the car wonât start. Took the car to the dealer and gave me an estimate.”

“The engine starts to stall. Itâs scary. It slows down to 0 and when you step on the gas it doesnât want to go. We bought this van last year and itâs done it since we bought it. Iâve read that Honda knows itâs a problem but there needs to be a recall before someone dies in an accident.”

“We bought the van used. We were on a road trip and the speakers started crackling and popping. Also the audio will just cut off completely and can be fixed by turning off the power to the audio and turning it back on quick. It will work for a little bit but will cut out again. We tried different devices and different cords for the problem but it hasn't fixed the issue.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 109 reports involved a crash and 2 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
