Recent reports

“Vehicle with 37k miles. When the idle stop feature is activated at a stop, it causes the vehicle to stall requiring a restart. The starter occasionally does not work as well. Starter and battery was replaced at 12k and the issue has resurfaced. This poses a significant safety risk.”

“2025 Honda Odyssey with 21.5k miles. Noticed the van shaking when braking. Took it to the dealer for warranty service and they claim that warped rotors were the issue. Declined to provide warranty service claiming brakes are only covered for 12 months. Rotors should not be warped after 20k miles, especially when never used under heavy load.”

“RE investigation EA25004. We have had two instances of the van failing to restart after it shut off automatically at a red light. This caused a dangerous traffic situation where the van would not start up while traffic was approaching. The battery is in good condition and the van has just over 10,000 miles on it.”
