The vehicle engages the emergency breaking system on its own and at random times.
The auto-stop/start feature in this vehicle, when activated, causes the engine to stall when starting back up. We have had the battery and starter both replaced, and it is still causing an issue. Now, even with the system deactivated, the vehicle will stall, most likely based on the increased wear on the starter. We have noticed that during initial startup, we have to press the ignition button several times before the vehicle actually starts, and often, when it does start, it struggles to start right away.
2024 honda Odyssey EX-L fails to restart after stop
I believe the issue is the media oriented systems transport coaxial cable and FAKRA connector from the 2018-2023 recalls. The rear infotainment system does not load or display anything now. Same goes for the in cabin video and Apple car play. They do not work anymore either. There were no warnings before everything stop working. It just stopped while drive home.
Multiple times since new the van has failed to restart when the auto start/stop has activated. This leaves me in an intersection with a non running car that I need to figure out the right combination of buttons to get it started again. Today it escalated and refused to restart until I shut off the ignition, open the door, closed the door, and then started it. Honda will not do anything if they can not duplicate it. So I am left with a car that is getting more unsafe to drive.
Vehicle was stopped at a red light. Light turned green and the engine off would not restart the vehicle to go. Had to turn the car off, let reset, then restart while in traffic.
The contact owns a 2024 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while the vehicle was being driven at 65 MPH with the contact in the front passenger's seat, all of the frontal airbags deployed without impact and struck the driver and the contact. Both occupants sustained injuries. The driver sustained injuries on the wrist and knees while the contact sustained injuries on the chest, and a burn on the neck from the seatbelt. Medical attention was required for the injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The failure mileage was 130,000.
I purchased a used 2024 Honda Odyssey in September 2026 with approximately 12,000 miles. The vehicle intermittently experiences delayed starting and extended cranking when attempting to start the engine. CarMax was aware of the starting concern at the time of purchase. After purchase, CarMax replaced the battery, but the problem persisted. The vehicle was subsequently kept for approximately eight days for further diagnosis, and I was informed that technicians could not reproduce or identify the issue. I am concerned that the intermittent starting problem could worsen and potentially leave my family stranded. I am requesting that NHTSA review this complaint for a possible vehicle safety defect.
My 2024 Honda Odyssey repeatedly failed to restart after the automatic idle stop system engaged at traffic lights. On numerous occasions, the engine shut off normally but would not restart when I attempted to resume driving. I had to shift into Park and manually restart the engine before continuing. This happened regularly and created a safety concern because I could become stranded in traffic with my children in the vehicle. I eventually began manually disabling the automatic idle stop feature every time I drove because I was afraid the vehicle would fail to restart. I reported the issue verbally to a Honda dealership employee during a previous service visit and was advised to disable the automatic idle stop feature rather than continue using it. In October 2026, at approximately 21,000 miles, the vehicle displayed a low battery warning. Several days later, it completely failed to start after stopping at a gas station. Three separate jump-start attempts were unsuccessful. The dashboard lights and audio system worked, but the power windows stopped functioning. An authorized Honda dealership diagnosed a completely failed starter. The service advisor stated that the starter failure had also drained the battery. Both components were replaced under the factory warranty. The dealership stated that these repairs should resolve the previous idle stop failures, but the underlying cause of the premature starter failure has not been explained, and I do not yet know whether the problem is fully resolved. I am concerned about the repeated failures to restart in traffic and the complete starter failure at only 21,000 miles. I would like this investigated as a potential vehicle safety defect. I do not know whether the dealership retained the failed components for inspection.
The middle row passenger side seat stopped functioning. The lever on the middle row seat that must be used to allow third row passengers to exit or enter the vehicle does not work. So the seat will not move forward to allow exit if necessary as intended. This is a safety issue in the event of accident or fire and if third row passengers need to exit the vehicle quickly, or to be able to access child in car seat. Honda has informed me that despite the vehicle being under the new bumper to bumper vehicle warranty that fixing this issue is "not covered" under the warrantly. There is no damage to the seat or lever mechanism that is visible or that has occurred. Rather the lever just stopped working. To the extent this presents a safety issue, and Honda will not address it (their corporate customer service folks have also not communicated with me regarding the complaint about this issue and the mention that this also represents a safety issue), I am reporting this problem to NHTSA. Thank you.
The idle off system when activated and when attempting to let up off the brake, the car fails to start. It stalls in the middle of an intersection and shifts into park and having to restart the vehicle.
Safety complaint: Rearview camera/display failure on 2024 Honda Odyssey (VIN [XXX]). On [XXX], the center display screen went black and the rearview camera image became distorted and unclear while reversing. Since then, every time the vehicle is started, the display is extremely dim and nearly black-and-white, and the rearview camera image is unusable. A dealer factory reset in early September 2026 did not resolve the issue; the servicing dealer (Ourisman Honda of Frederick) states the screen will most likely need replacement. This is the same failure mode covered by Honda's 2023 recall for 2018–2023 Odyssey models (faulty display/camera connection, ~1.2M vehicles), but the 2024 model year is excluded despite exhibiting the identical defect. Loss of the rearview image reduces rear visibility and increases crash risk. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Idle stop sometimes stalls out vehicle. Already replaced starter in vehicle. Problem started up again just a few months later.
4 months After purchasing, vehicle had warped rotors. Vehicle has stalled in traffic 4 times completely shutting off while in drive. Seeping radiator. And violation shaking when breaking.
Sometimes when the car turns off for the auto stop function at something like a stop light or stop sign it stalls when trying to restart. This requires a whole restart with getting back into park and getting the van to start again. It seems to happen most often when the air conditioning is on but not on full blast. I brought it to the dealer once and they couldn’t reproduce the issue or find something wrong. It has happened since that appointment and I am bringing it back. Some lights show up on the dash but i don’t remember which ones as I’m trying to frantically start the van again because I’m typically stalled at a stop light.
When stopped in a lane of travel, the vehicle's Auto Idle Stop system engages. However, when I take my foot off of the brake to begin moving forward, the vehicle stalls while in the lane of travel. I have to turn the vehicle off and back on again to begin moving.
The vehicle came to a complete stop at a stoplight at a busy intersection and the Auto Idle Stop feature engaged. When the brake was released to resume driving, the engine struggled to restart, and then stalled completely in the middle of traffic. The vehicle did not automatically restart upon releasing the brake, and had to be placed into park, turned off completely, and then restarted manually to regain vehicle control. This has happened several times. There have also been instances where the vehicle did not stall completely, but bucked violently when the Auto Idle Stop feature restarted the vehicle.
I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious safety issue with my Honda's Auto Idle Stop/Start system. On multiple occasions, while stopped in traffic or at an intersection, the Auto Idle Stop system has automatically shut off the engine as designed. However, when I release the brake and attempt to proceed, the engine fails to restart. The vehicle becomes stalled and immobilized in the middle of active traffic. I have been stuck at traffic intersections because of this failure, creating a significant safety concern. When the vehicle fails to restart, surrounding traffic expects the vehicle to move when the light changes, while I am unable to accelerate or safely clear the intersection. This creates a risk of a collision, particularly from vehicles approaching from behind.
We recently moved from [XXX] to [XXX]. The first time driving down a mountain the vehicle violently shook when applying the brakes to keep the speed under control. Upon taking it to a Honda service location, the technician revealed hot spots on both front brake rotors. The van has only 21319 miles, and the rotors needed to be replaced with new rotors to make the vehicle safe. The service representative refused to file a warranty claim with Honda because he said “rotors are a wear-and-tear item.” The warranty states bumper-to-bumper coverage for 3 years, or 36000 miles, but does not cover normal wear-and-tear. These hot spots were not normal wear-and-tear. Nonetheless, the representative refused to file a warranty claim unless I was willing to leave the car at their shop for 48 hours or more while they wait for a response, and emphasized that “I’ve never seen Honda accept this claim.” Upon further review of the brake specs, it seems that Honda uses cast-iron OEM rotors which may not be suitable for normal wear-and-tear for a 6000 lb vehicle. To make matters worse, the new OEM brakes are only warrantied for 12 months/12000 miles whereas a non-Honda service station would have installed a heavy-duty brake for less cost and also warrantied it for 3 years/36000 miles.

Today 09/24/2026 while stopped at a traffic light the car lost all electrical power and blacked out while in auto-idle stop. Last week while driving the middle electrical screen went dark. After a few minutes while driving the H symbol appeared on the display and the screen reloaded.
The infotainment screen just went blank. No phone, radio, backup camera works. The car runs fine. Tried to reset and unplug the battery but did not fix the problem. Van is still under warranty taking it in for diagnostic.
My vehicle automatically shut off at a stop light and instead of turning back on, it died and left me stuck in traffic. I purchased the vehicle from a dealer on 9/11/2026 and this first happened 9/14/2026, and again on 9/18/2026. Both times my automatic shut off was automatically on and both times I was at a stop light where the automatic shut off engaged and instead of turning back on- my Van died at the light. Both times I was stuck in traffic.
The vehicle's Auto Idle Stop (AIS) system failed to restart the engine after engaging at a complete stop. The affected components are the engine, starter motor, and AIS control software. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. On XXX, at approximately 7:43 PM, the AIS system engaged while I was stopped at the intersection of [XXX]. Upon releasing the brake pedal, the engine failed to restart. The vehicle became fully immobilized in an active left-turn lane with traffic behind me. I was required to shift to Park and manually depress the Start button multiple times to restore power. Multiple vehicles behind me began sounding their horns. A minor child was a passenger in the vehicle. This is not an isolated incident. The vehicle has been presented to Howdy Honda, in Austin, Texas, for the same defect on three to four prior occasions. On the most recent prior visit, the dealer replaced the starter motor — the specific remedy prescribed by Honda Technical Service Bulletins 23-008 and 23-009. The vehicle was returned to me as repaired. The failure recurred the same day. The defect has been confirmed and repair attempted by the authorized Honda dealership. The manufacturer has been on notice of this defect class-wide since at least 2018. Prior to and during failure events, the instrument cluster displays a Red Exclamation Mark warning light and/or a "Brake System" warning light. These warnings first appeared in conjunction with the initial AIS failure events and recur with each subsequent incident. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
While the idle stop system was active, the vehicle turned off while stopped at a red light as expected. After the light turned green, the vehicle did not restart and turned all the way off and then attempted to reboot. I had to push the on button to turn the car back on. The first three attempts to start the vehicle resulted in clicking sounds like a dead battery. This has reoccurred at least 4 times in the past couple weeks and has only occurred while restarting with idle-stop and not when starting for the first time. I’m concerned I will get rear ended while I have my little kids if it doesn’t restart.
My 2024 Honda Odyssey has repeatedly failed to restart after the Auto Idle Stop system shuts the engine off while stopped at a red light or in traffic. Normally, the engine should automatically restart when I release the brake, but on several occasions the vehicle completely shut down and I had to manually restart it. During one incident, the vehicle would not restart for approximately 1–2 minutes despite repeated attempts. This left the vehicle disabled in traffic and created a serious safety concern. The problem has occurred multiple times.
