   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.…

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…

   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…

   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…

   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…

    My vehicle has approximately 12,000 miles and on 9/7/26 and 9/11/26, my vehicle would not restart at a light with the auto shut off. I had 4 small children with me on 9/7/26 and had several cars behind me aggressively honking. I could not get the car to restart for several seconds. I was finally able to turn the car completely off and get it to restart. The instance on 9/11/26 was equally as startling. After talking to a friend who has the same Honda Odyssey, she said her…
