Van completely shut down while in an intersection and the battery light came on. It was hard to restart. Took it to the dealership and they cannot find the problem.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the vehicle had a new feature that, when the vehicle was at an idle stop, the engine would shut off automatically, and while the vehicle was stopped for several seconds. The engine was supposed to restart automatically when the driver released the brake pedal. The contact stated that on two occasions, the engine shut off and failed to restart. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The body control module was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

I am reporting a recurring issue with my 2025 Honda Odyssey, which exhibits difficulty starting the engine. Approximately two months after purchasing the vehicle in Dec 2024, the original battery failed and was replaced under warranty. However, the vehicle continues to experience problems when attempting to start. When I press the start button, the engine hesitates, cranks slowly, or feels as though it nearly fails to start. This issue occurs intermittently, regardless of weather conditions or the duration the vehicle has been parked. No warning lights or error messages have appeared on the dashboard The problem has occurred multiple times, most recently on Friday August 15th 2025, and creates a safety concern, as the vehicle’s unreliable starting could leave me stranded in potentially hazardous situations, such as remote locations or adverse weather. I have not yet had the vehicle inspected by a dealer for this specific issue, but I plan to schedule a service appointment to diagnose the problem. The prior battery replacement suggests potential issues with the electrical system, starter, or related components, possibly linked to the auto start/stop system currently under NHTSA investigation for 2018–2025 Honda Odyssey models. Additionally when driving down the road especially at low speeds the engine hesitates as if it’s not getting enough gasoline. Lastly the AppleCarplay screen and all other associated screens randomly go out. I have been to the dealership 3 times for repairs and they give me the run around saying they don’t notice anything so Honda won’t pay for anything and send me on my way.

On two separate occasions the vehicle’s engine has turned off when stopped as part of the Auto Idle Stop feature and then did not restart when I took my foot off the brake and pushed on the gas pedal. I was stuck in traffic frantically trying to get the van to restart and eventually was able to get it. This is a new van I’ve had less than a year. I took it to the dealer after the first incident and described the problem. They kept it for more than a day troubleshooting and didn’t find a solution. Verbally they recommended using the button that turns off the Auto Idle Stop feature that must be pressed each time the van is started to turn the off the feature. I’ve done that most of the time since, but I happened to forget this week and then it happened a second time where I was unexpectedly stuck in traffic with the engine not coming back on.

The auto on/off while idling will randomly fail. The car stalls, all emergency lights turn on and the car won’t start for a few minutes. This has occurred at stop lights and in traffic after coming to a complete stop and the car turns off when idling. The car is only 6 months old. The first occurrence happened at the 3 month mark and has become more persistent. I’ve had my battery checked and that was not an issue.
