| May 2026 | STRUCTURE | My wife and kids were driving down the highway when the moonroof spontaneously exploded. It made a loud popping noise and glass rained down on my wife and two young kids. No warning signs at all. Luckily everyone is safe but this did cause some traumatic. We do feel uncertain about moonroofs now and are considering a different vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Last week, I opened my vehicle door and noticed water standing in the foot well. I didn't think too much of it until I started driving down the street and gallons of water were gushing on my feet in the footwell from behind the steering wheel and fuse box. I parked and waited for it to dry out a few days. I took my vehicle to the dealer and was shocked to hear that this is caused because the sunroof has a drainage system, and when the primary drain clogs, due to pollen or dirt, the secondary drain drains directly into the driver footwell. They advised that this is an issue that disregards vehicle age and sunroof non-use. Because this is a new vehicle, all of my basic maintenance and inspections have been provider by the Honda dealer. I asked why this had not been inspected on my previous service appointments and was told the primary drain for the sunroof can only be inspected by camera. It is only when the primary drain becomes clogged that the water dumps into the driver side footwell. I searched my owner manual and found nothing to indicate or require that the primary sunroof drain should be inspected, cleaned or serviced, at any of the maintenance intervals, and especially not during the first 2 years of ownership. The steering column, fuse box, and driver footwell house all of the necessary electrical and mechanical parts for steering, braking, acceleration, lighting and all other electrical systems controls. Additionally, if this were to happen while driving, the distraction to the driver could be catastrophic. My vehicle has been at the dealer for a week to clear the clog in the primary sunroof drain, remove the seat and carpet to dry, & inspect the electric systems including the power seat. I can make the vehicle available for inspection as needed and the dealer can provide the camera inspection that diagnosed the issue. This happened due to everyday dust and pollen, and there was no advance warning that this drain failure was imminent. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | Automatic start stop completely turns off car when pulling up to a stop sign, light, or yield intersection. Car completely turned off and wouldn’t start on a bridge overpass causing a safety hazard. Took a solid minute for it to restart. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Since purchasing my 2024 Odyssey EX-L I have experienced on multiple occasions where the idle stop engages but upon releasing the brake the vehicle fails to restart, dash lights up and vehicle is shifted automatically into park while sitting in traffic and vehicles moving all around me as well as honking as I am unable to restart the vehicle immediately. I have to push the start button multiple times before the vehicle will restart. Dealership is unable to replicate issue so I just started turning it off. Now the idle stop/start doesn't engage at all even after driving for hours. Additionally the vehicle is very slow to start especially if I have had to start the vehicle a different times throughout the day. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and they diagnosed it with a bad starter at only 38K miles which is of course out of warranty. Not only is this a safety issue of the vehicle stalling in traffic but Honda is failing to recognize a well known issue with the starter in this particular vehicle, sticking consumers with hefty repair bills for a manufacturing issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | On 3 separate occasions, I have been at a stop light where the auto stop kicks in. When I release my foot from brake, it should auto start. Instead, it stalls out. This is a huge safety issue and has caused cars behind me to get angry and honk. If someone wasn't paying attention, this could cause collision easily. The battery seems fine, and even if it wasn't, shouldn't the battery life be considered when the feature is triggered? I will be taking it in to get serviced, but I'm very frustrated. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | For the past year, the vehicle's Auto Idle Stop system has intermittently failed to restart the engine after coming to a complete stop at traffic lights. This creates a dangerous situation where the vehicle is immobilized in active traffic, posing a significant risk of rear-end collisions or other accidents. I have taken the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership for service; however, they were unable to duplicate the issue and declined to perform further repairs. As the problem remains unresolved, I am reporting this incident to the NHTSA to contribute to the official record of safety concerns regarding this feature in Honda vehicles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The car will lose power while sitting at a red light. The dash lights up and you can't do anything. You have to turn it off and back on and hope no one hits you in the meantime. This has happened twice now. I bought it brand new, serviced regularly and has 16k miles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | My 2024 Honda Odyssey EX-L has a recurring Auto Idle Stop failure. About 1–2 times per week, when stopped at a light and Auto Idle Stop engages, the engine fails to restart properly when I release the brake. The engine sputters or shuts down, the battery warning light comes on, and the vehicle shifts itself into Park. I then have to hold the start button for several seconds to restart the engine. This creates a safety risk because the vehicle becomes disabled in active traffic when the light turns green. The vehicle was previously taken to a Honda dealer for this issue, and the battery was replaced, but the problem continues. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | My car is experiencing the starting issue that is listed as auto start/stop feature. However, since I almost always have the AC on or start/stop disabled because the car will not start when hot after a few stops and was scared it would do it in traffic. So far I can get it started again but need to completely turn car off and try again, sometimes more than once. Had been going on for a year and the dealer has replaced battery then the next services said nothing wrong. Now the car is out of warranty and the starting issues getting worse and have finally found online that others are experiencing similar issues. I have forgotten to turn off start/stop a couple times and been stranded in traffic as well when car auto stopped at red light and did not restart causing me to be stuck until i could get it restarted. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2024 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, and while stopped at a red traffic light, the Automatic START/STOP system failed, causing the vehicle to unexpectedly shut off. The vehicle was restarted and drove normally. On another occasion, while stopped in a drive-thru, the vehicle shut off unexpectedly. The emissions system, adaptive cruise control, and tire monitoring system warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with battery failure. The battery was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 22,000 |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The idle stop on the van will stall the vehicle. This has happened 3 separate times where the vehicle stops, then stalls when the engine tries to turn back on. This can be very dangerous, especially when trying to turn from an intersection and the vehicle stalls. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | SEVERAL TIMES, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, AND THE AUTO STOP SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN, THEN IT WILL NOT RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A VERY BUSY STATE ROUTE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WHILE I HAVE MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND A MOJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR US. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | "The vehicle is experiencing an intermittent, loud popping/crackling noise coming from the speakers and infotainment system. This is a known symptom of a failure in the MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) bus network, specifically related to defective FAKRA connectors and coaxial cabling. This issue was previously the subject of NHTSA Recall #23V-431 for 2018–2023 models, but the defect persists in this 2024 model." Safety Risk: "When the MOST bus network loses connection for more than 20 seconds, the infotainment screen freezes or goes black, causing a total failure of the rearview (backup) camera image. This failure occurs unpredictably while the vehicle is in reverse, significantly increasing the risk of a back-over accident or collision. Additionally, the loud, sudden popping noises are a severe driver distraction." Dealer/Manufacturer Response: "The Honda dealership confirmed the issue is consistent with the known MOST bus failure (TSB 23-047). However, because the vehicle has 49,000 miles, both the dealership and Honda Corporate (Case # [Insert your number if you have one]) have denied a goodwill repair, despite this being a documented safety defect that has been the subject of prior federal recalls | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | The contact owns a 2024 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while stopped and using the Auto START/STOP feature, the vehicle failed to restart as designed. While attempting to restart the vehicle, the battery warning light flashed on the instrument panel. The vehicle restarted after several minutes. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 41,000 |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The vehicle was stopped at a red light. This vehicle is equipped with an auto-start/stop system to save fuel. Once the red light turned green the engine refused to restart. This was the second instance. The vehicle took over 30 seconds before it would restart. None of the push-to-start buttons worked, the car would not recognize that the brake was pressed, and it had also shifted itself into park. Very dangerous while traffic was moving all around us. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | STRUCTURE | for 2 years we have had intermittent issues with sliding doors not opening. The doors will not respond to the handles in or out, or remote control or door button. at 2 years old the doors jammed so bad my child was trapped in the middle. Finally we tried pulling on the door that was open about 6" and the rear window exploded. seems to be some sort of electrical override. really surprised the door can fail slightly open and not allow passengers to escape. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | STEERING,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | While driving, the vehicle will suddenly jerk taking control of the steering. As similar defect has been noted on other models. Took to the dealership and they said it is the automatic gear box. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I believe something is wrong with the electrical system tied into the infotainment system of the car, which displays the radio, heating, cooling, shows the rear camera controllers, as well as some fo the lighting in the sport L is not fully lit, for example where the shift gears is there a light that goes across the front, mines if red, only 1 side is actively turninig on, but the other side is off, at time the display become unresponsive, meaning no matter what I select nothing is displayed I only get the main screen that shows the FM/AM, CAR PLAY, Andriod Auto, Setting etc, when this happens and when the screen flickers the radio does not turn on, no sound is heard, I can turn on/off the ac, but can control where the air flows, or changing some basic settings, at times the rear camera will not work as well. I have videos of this for my records, and I did report this directly to Honda, but they indicated there is no recall for the infotainment system, I previously had a 2021 Odysessy and there was a recall for soemthing very similar, not sure why they would continue to use the same system in the newer vechiles, clearly something is wrong here, so I am documenting this for my records, but I believe Honda needs to step in and correct this issue before other electrical problems occur and someone gets injured | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Automatic Idle Stop function fails. The car idles down while at a stop and then the entire car will shut off and fail to restart. This occurs frequently at stoplights, stop signs, in traffic or any time the vehicle idles down. The car fails to restart right away resulting in multiple attempts to start the engine and poses a danger to occupants in traffic. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE | The contact owns a 2024 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the air bag warning light remained illuminated. While driving in a rainstorm, rainwater leaked into the vehicle from the driver’s side sliding door. Additionally, the passenger’s side sliding door was misaligned. The contact stated that the vehicle was a converted mobility vehicle and that the failure might be related to the conversions made to the vehicle. The conversion dealer was notified of the failure and had serviced the vehicle on several occasions. The vehicle manufacturer was not contacted.

| Jan 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The vehicle will shut off at stops after the auto idle stop engages. We have to turn the vehicle back on and press the "off auto idle stop" button to not have this happen. I will enter the last date we noticed this below. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I am writing to formally report and complain about a serious safety issue I am experiencing with my Honda Odyssey related to the Auto Idle Stop feature. While the vehicle is stopped and Auto Idle Stop is engaged, the engine unexpectedly shuts down and, in some cases, does not restart properly when I attempt to accelerate. This has occurred after normal driving and also immediately after refueling. When the issue happens, the vehicle loses power completely for several seconds, creating a dangerous situation—especially in traffic, at intersections, or while making turns. This issue is not only inconvenient but also a significant safety concern. A delayed or failed engine restart can easily lead to accidents, particularly when quick acceleration is required. I understand that Auto Idle Stop is designed to improve fuel efficiency, but it should never compromise vehicle safety or reliability. I am aware that other Honda Odyssey owners have reported similar problems, which suggests this may be a known or widespread issue. I would like Honda to: Acknowledge this problem as a potential safety defect Investigate whether this issue is related to the Auto Idle Stop system, fuel system, battery, starter, or engine control software Advise whether there is an official fix, software update, recall, or service bulletin addressing this issue Provide guidance on how Honda plans to resolve this problem permanently Please let me know the next steps to have my vehicle properly inspected and repaired. I expect Honda to take this matter seriously, as it directly affects driver and passenger safety. I look forward to your prompt response | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
