ENGINE
While stopped at a traffic light my vehicle went into auto engine idle stop mode. When the light turned green, I removed my foot from the break, but the engine failed to restart. I had to shift the car to park and fully restart the engine.

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
On 5/28/26, I went to get my van checked at a repair shop through my HealthCar warranty and I was told that I needed a system update on my brake system/ADAS/LKAS/ACC systems. All the lights beeped and were lighting up on my dash. It would go on and off from time to time, usually when it was more hot out. They told me to take to dealership and they need to do a system update and should fix no additional charge. I took it to the Honda dealership service department on 7/6/26 and was told it is the multipurpose camera has an internal failure and it would cost me $2,443.00 to repair it, plus I had to pay them a diagnostic fee. I have researched and been told by other repairs shops that this problem has been occurring often and it seems due to heat is the reason this happens.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We purchased a brand new 2025 Honda Odyyssey in Nov. 2024. Within a couple months of owning our new vehicle we began having issues with the Auto Idle Stop system. The vehicle will not turn back on at random when stopped at any time when driving. This is a huge safety risk as this has often happened while stopped at a light. It’s also happened when in the drive through. Essentially any time stopped to then go from the brake to the gas. There are times I can get the vehicle restarted quickly and other times it just won’t turn back on for about 30 seconds. The battery light flashes at times when this happens, but not consistently every time. The screen also shuts off and all power to vehicle until I get it restarted. I have had moments where I thought someone was going to rear end me. This issue occurred three or more times prior to our vehicle being outside the warranty and prior to the mileage being outside the warranty. The dealership has since given us an issue now that we are outside the warranty saying that any repairs now fall on us even though this is a recurring issue. They “attempted several repairs” to which none have fixed the problem. We have spent more time in a rental vehicle and switching back and forth to different vehicles waiting for the vehicle to repaired then any family should deal with a brand new vehicle. We are a family of 7 and in no way have time to be completely jerked around and in a manner that the dealership is now trying to wash their hands of. They essentially promised a resolve till we got outside of our warranty window and now it’s no longer their responsibility. We feel completely strung along as now they informed us we don’t qualify for lemon law even though we absolutely did. We were also informed by Janelle the service manager that our vehicle isn’t made for short trips. We have videos of the vehicle having these moments and we have everything documented through text with the manager and service manager of Honda Checkered Flag.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When I am stopped at a red light, the auto shutoff is activated, and when I lift off the brake and try to accelerate forward at the green light, the vehicle stalls for about 15 seconds, leaving the driver and passengers vulnerable to a car accident. One of the passenger seatbelts triggers the "no seatbelt" alarm, even when the passenger is buckled. If no one is seated there, there is no alarm. This only happens when someone is seated there. In order to bypass the alarm sound, the passenger has to unbuckle and re-buckle so that the car knows that the passenger is seated. Once the car shifts after a turn or curved road, the alarm will sound again. During an average 20 minute car ride, it'll probably do this 5-6 times, depending on how many turns or curves there are on the route.

Auto idle stop feature causes vehicle to shut off completely at red lights and stop signs. This is very dangerous as cars can be coming up behind us in stop and go traffic. Has happened multiple times since we purchased new vehicle in Feb 2025. Vehicle has been serviced by Honda dealership but problem persists.

ENGINE
My 2019 Honda Odyssey stalled at a red light, then had an extended crank/no-start. It later hesitated and almost stalled while driving around 40 mph, and stalled again when I got home. The dash showed Emissions System Problem along with VSA, EPS, Brake System, Brake Hold, Hill Start Assist, and Road Departure warnings. Please check open recalls, especially the fuel pump recall, scan all stored and pending codes, test battery and alternator, and check fuel pressure and fuel pressure leak-down.

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My van is suddenly giving me warnings that include collision mitigation, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, brake hold system, and traffic sign recognition. My safety is at risk if the front camera system is not working/faulty. I was unaware of the problem and had my cruise control on when it just went off and there were warnings popping up on dashboard. There was a class action lawsuit filed against Honda on 7/2/26 in CA for certain Honda vehicles. I have had my van put on a computer that has given us the error code and is a front camera failure. The issue first appeared on 7/2/26. It will suddenly start flashing warnings when I’m Driving. It will also flash warnings right after I start the vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
On multiple occasions, after the engine auto start/stop has turned the engine off at a stop, the engine fails to restart. This leaves the car stalled in the roadway. This has led to multiple unsafe situations as traffic flow is disrupted must divert around the stalled car in the middle of the roadway. There have been no other warning signs or symptoms leading up to this issue. The vehicle has not yet been inspected, a inspection at a Honda service center is scheduled for next week

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Once the vehicle's auto idle stop system engaged at a traffic light, and the engine failed to restart automatically leaving us stranded in active traffic. We usually disable the system but forgot that time. It has also required multiple manual push-button attempts to start from a parked position at home and in public parking lots. The vehicle was brought to an authorized Honda dealership for this issue. The dealer stated they could not replicate the symptom, diagnosed it as a low battery, and charged the battery. The issue persists. Failing to restart at a traffic light creates an immediate rear-end collision hazard and leaves occupants vulnerable in the middle of active intersections.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The malfunction involves the Auto Idle Stop / Auto Start-Stop restart system on my 2025 Honda Odyssey, including related battery, charging, starter, starter relay, brake switch, and Power Distribution Module components. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle has shut off while stopped in traffic, usually at a red light, and failed to restart normally. This has happened four separate times. This puts my safety and the safety of others at risk because the vehicle can become disabled in an active traffic lane or intersection, creating a rear-end collision hazard and blocking traffic. I took the vehicle to Hill Country Honda in San Antonio, Texas. I told the dealership the vehicle had stopped and failed to restart normally multiple times, and I provided video and pictures to the service advisor. The dealership stated the battery had run down because of the Auto Idle Stop system and charged the battery for approximately two hours. I was also told that if it happens again, the procedure may be to charge the battery again before moving forward with further diagnosis or repair. As far as I know, the dealer has not reproduced the failure while in possession of the vehicle. However, they were made aware of the repeated failures and reviewed the video/pictures I provided. I do not know whether American Honda has inspected the vehicle. It has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. Warning messages appeared during the failure, including “System problem detected. Shift to Park” and “To continue to drive, depress brake pedal and push switch.” These appeared when the Auto Idle Stop system had shut the engine off and the vehicle did not restart normally. I had no clear warning before the first incident.

Mother single , sole support 4 babies and going through divorce needed a vehicle right away . Carvana rated this car 94 after its 150 pt inspection . It was noted that it was in an accident. Driving the babies on interstate the Pilar flew off, later on still on interstate , ck engine light came on, then steering warning, brake warning and sudden loss of speed . Car would not accelerate beyond 40 miles per hour . Day 32 car was taken to Honda where she found she could not open the hood. Car was then sent to Gerber A very quick look found upper tie bar was “buckled” the dipstick bent and radiator “floating” also impact bar was missing or bent … read Gerber report for clarification , told with hood misaligned and latch bent way back hood could possibly fly up and no front end protection in a collision. I am horrified and begging for emergency swap… they are claiming cosmetic … BUCKLED upper tie bar?? They are waiting on a more detailed report gambling with 5 lives or more ! I loaned this child7000 to help lower payments . I wanted her to have a safe vehicle to drive. This is undrivable yet she cannot afford rental.. why are they waiting for detailed when we know it was wrecked January 13 2026 and obviously NOT a 94 and safety inspection 150 was clearly fraud I would never have let her and those babies buy a wrecked piece of junk!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The vehicle has an automatic stop/start feature that is enabled by default, though there is a button readily accessible to deactivate the function easily ea. time the vehicle is operated. The vehicle has just had the starter replaced under warranty @ 25K miles. There have been issues with the vehicle struggling to start for at least six months now - rough, slow starts where the engine is struggling to turn over. If I forget to turn off the auto-start/stop function, the engine will sometimes shut off at a red light - but it won't turn on again when the light turns green and it's time to move. I have had this happen a handful of times in traffic - the engine turns off and will not restart when normal procedures are followed.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Collision mitigation system problem, auto high beam problem , lane keep assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, road departure mitigation problem. All of these lights came on at the same time then a transmission problem light came on. Was told by a mechanic that Honda has an issue with a lot of these because of where it sits directly in the sun. All of these problems seem to be connected.

POWER TRAIN
While driving approximately 75 mph on I-77 S our van stopped accelerating without warning. The engine would rev but no acceleration was occuring. There had been no signs of any issue prior and no warning lights appeared. We were able to make it to the side of the road and immediately called a tow truck to take us to the nearest Honda dealership. We had to wait on the side of a very busy interstate with our one and three year old and then get all of us safely to the dealership after the tow truck arrived. We were lucky that the sudden stop to our acceleration did not cause an accident and that we were not hit while parked on the shoulder (the tow truck driver indicated that there had been two collisions of that nature in that area in the month before our incident). The dealership confirmed that the transmission needed to be replaced a couple of days later. When asked what the issue was we were really only given a vague explanation of a part inside potentially failing and causing a ripple effect. The van was 6 months out of the five year warranty and only 272 miles over the 60k warranty. It had previously been serviced by a Honda dealership in March of this year and nothing was noted at that time about the transmission needing attention (such as a transmission fluid change). At no point had the onboard "Maintenance Minder" indicated that we needed a transmission fluid change as well. The service technician who diagnosed the transmission failure also indicated that there was nothing in the transmission fluid (like parts or metal shavings) to show where the failure occurred. The fact that a transmission would have a complete failure with zero warnings beforehand or any real explanation at 60k miles seems like a serious design flaw.

I was waiting at a stop light. The idle system kicked and the vehicle turned off, as expected. Upon lifting my foot off the brake, the vehicle failed to start and the car went into park. I was unable to restart the car after holding the brake pedal down and pressing the start button multiple times. After many failed attempts, I shut off the power to the vehicle, waited a min or so and restarted the vehicle. I then put the car in drive and continued thru the intersection. This was in a busy intersection and could have easily caused an accident, but thankfully it did not. This is the 3 time this has occurred with this vehicle.
