2025 Honda Odyssey owner complaints (15)

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  My 2025 Honda Odyssey has experienced the same problem 4 times when stopped at a light. The engine shuts off when stopped at a light but then fails to restart and instead the vehicle automatically shifts to park and stalls; the battery light illuminates and the whole vehicle has to be shut off before the vehicle will restart and be able to shift into drive. It appears this is a problem with the "Auto Idle Stop feature." It happened twice a few weeks apart and then happened twice during the same 30-minute drive. The vehicle also jumps/jerks forward occasionally when my foot is removed from the break at a stop sign or light in a way that doesn't seem normal.

• ENGINE

  While the start stop feature is active, there have been several times where the van will not restart at a stoplight. In some cases, I have had to turn off the A/C, or other electrical systems to allow the car to restart. This has happened in traffic and caused several backups while I tried to restart the car. Took this van to the dealer and while they checked the systems they did not find any issued. As we progress through summer and into fall/winter, I do not want to have to worry about this in poor weather.

• POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  The vehicle has an Auto Idle Stop no-restart/stalling issue. While stopped at a traffic light/intersection, Auto Idle Stop engaged. When attempting to proceed, the vehicle did not resume driving normally, shifted itself into Park, dashboard warning lights flashed, and the only way to move again was to turn the vehicle completely off and restart it. This left the vehicle disabled in traffic and created a serious rear-end collision/intersection hazard. The issue was confirmed by a Honda dealer on 06/26/2026 at approximately 11,804 miles. The repair order states that code P07AF was stored and that a snapshot showed a drop in cranking voltage due to a failing starter. The dealer advised that the starter must be replaced, but stated the starter is on severe backorder. The vehicle remains unrepaired. Honda customer service case #16464445. The vehicle is a low-mileage 2025 Honda Odyssey purchased new in April 2025 and used as a family vehicle to transport children. Prior Honda service records show maintenance was performed at approximately 9,800 miles, including a multi-point inspection, and the battery terminals/cables/mountings and battery condition were checked OK at that time. This appears related to NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA25004, “No Restart After Auto Start/Stop Engages,” involving 2018–2025 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The failed starter/vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

  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.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  I have been in my vehicle at a red light and my van will not start. The start button is pressed and the vehicle makes clicking noises or won’t make a sound at all. Finally it starts

• SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC; AUTOHOLD BRAKE SYSTEM/BRAKE HOLD

  The contact owns a 2025 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while at a stop with the Auto BRAKE HOLD engaged, the vehicle stalled. The contact activated the hazard lights. The contact restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle resumed normal operation. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 14,600.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  2025 Odyssey with 19k miles; Starter failure; After running/ driving vehicle continuously for 45 minutes in 80(f) degree weather, stopped and turned off vehicle completely. Tried restarting after 5 minutes, engine turned over twice, but did not start, and auxiliary features stayed on as if vehicle was running. Attempted again, heard click, as if engine attempted to turn, but no start. Checked engine visually, noticed engine bay was hot, but fluid levels all were within recommended ranges based on container-marked levels. After turning vehicle off, waiting 10 minutes and using battery jumper, engine started and stayed running. This is concerning as the vehicle features an auto-start feature that can turn off my vehicle in traffic, and leave me stranded at an intersection or worse if the starter fails.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  Vehicle on numerous occasions has had a complete electrical failure during an auto stop that has caused the engine to turn off and needed manual reboot several times for the car to restart.

• ENGINE

  With the auto start engaged, the car has stalled several times in the middle of intersections with my family in the car. Over the course of 12 months, this has happened 5-6 times. In each case, we have to shut the car off and try to frantically turn it back on. Sometimes this takes a few tries to get it to start. It’s frustrating that there is no option to permanently turn off the auto start feature. However, within the past 2 months, there have been 3 times that the car won’t start right away from an off position. It takes a few tries to get the engine started. The van is less than a year and a half old and only has 18,000 miles on it. This shouldn’t be happening, particularly in the middle of an intersection if I forget to turn the auto start off. Honda has not replied to my inquiries and the dealership can’t/won’t do anything about it because they can’t replicate this issue.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  The vehicle stalled at a traffic light and would not go into park or shut down to restart for about a minute. There were no warning signs or warning lights. It is a safety issue due to this potentially happening in the middle of an intersection while waiting to turn. The vehicle is being taken to the dealership on Wednesday, July 1st.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE

  My 2025 Honda Odyssey has experienced an intermittent failure of the Auto Idle Stop system on four separate occasions. While stopped at a traffic light, the Auto Idle Stop system shuts the engine off as designed. When I release the brake pedal to proceed after the light turns green, the engine fails to restart automatically. Instead, the dashboard lights illuminate and flash, and the vehicle displays the message "Press brake and START button." Pressing the START button once does not restart the engine. I have had to repeatedly press or hold the START button before the vehicle eventually restarts. During these events, the vehicle is completely disabled in active traffic and cannot be driven until it restarts. This has occurred four times, including while stopped at busy multi-lane intersections. The vehicle remained stationary after the traffic signal turned green while surrounding traffic expected it to move. This created a safety hazard because the vehicle unexpectedly became immobilized in an active traffic lane. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership. The service advisor acknowledged they are aware of similar complaints from other 2025 Odyssey owners but indicated Honda has not provided a definitive repair or service procedure. A diagnostic appointment has been scheduled. I have also found numerous reports from other 2025 Honda Odyssey owners describing the same Auto Idle Stop failure. In many of those cases, dealerships ultimately replaced the starter under warranty after diagnosis. The consistency of these reports suggests this may not be an isolated incident. I am submitting this complaint because this is a safety issue. A vehicle that unexpectedly cannot move when traffic begins to flow creates a risk of a rear-end or other collision.

• ENGINE

  while stopped at a redlight the auto idle stop engaged and engine shut off. When releasing the brake to accelerate the engine failed to restart and completely stalled in traffic requiring a manual restart. warning lights flashed on the dashboard. Then the same thing happend when stopped at a stopped sign.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  When I came to a stop at a traffic light, the car shut off as expected. However, when I took my foot off the brake the car did not start up. I had to manually start the car. This happened 3 times earlier so I had the car in to Curtis Ryan Honda for service one week prior and they claimed the battery was defective and put a new one in. However, even after the new battery, it did it again yesterday. Each time it happens, the cars behind me get anxious and start beeping. I am afraid that I may be rear ended at some point if this keeps happening. I dropped the car off at the dealer again for them to take another look at it.

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  The auto start and stop feature failed on numerous occasions. So when I am in the middle of a road stopped waiting for a car to turn my van will autostop but then it fails to restart. This has caused me on numerous occasion to be stalled out in the middle of busy roads and intersections. I almost was involved in an accident that was a near miss luckily. I have young children and I fear for their safety in our van as this issue can cause a serious accident if not corrected.

• POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  When I come to a full stop and the Idle Stop feature engages, sometimes the engine will not restart. I get a message saying to press the button to start the engine, but it does not start after doing that either, so I have to shut the car off and restart it. There are a bunch of lights that flash when this happens.
