2025 Honda Odyssey - seems to have issue with auto-start auto-stop. Frequently, the minivan is unable to turn back on after it auto-turns off when stopped at a light or somewhere. Creates very dangerous situation because I am stuck as the driver, and the car is unresponsive. You have to put car in park, turn off the car, turn it back on, put in drive. People are honking and in one case we almost got hit because it was a stop around a turn and we couldn't move. I've checked for recall and it's not there. I'm taking it in to Honda dealer as soon as available. It's not everytime, but it's frequent. Probably happened 4 times in last two weeks.

My 2025 Honda Odyssey has repeatedly failed to automatically restart after the Auto Idle Stop system shuts the engine off while stopped at traffic lights or in stop-and-go highway traffic. The problem began approximately four months ago and is intermittent, occurring roughly once per week. When the problem occurs, the Auto Idle Stop system shuts the engine off normally while the driver is stopped with a foot on the brake. When the driver releases the brake, the engine does not restart as it should; instead, the vehicle automatically shifts into Park and the instrument panel displays “Accessory Mode” or similar wording. The driver must then press the brake pedal and push the engine start/stop button repeatedly to restart the vehicle. So far, the vehicle has eventually restarted each time, but it can take approximately 2–3 minutes and multiple attempts. This creates a significant safety hazard because the vehicle becomes disabled in an active traffic lane, including at busy intersections and in stop-and-go highway traffic, while the driver attempts to restart it.

The automatic door will not close. It will bounce back open like something is in the way when nothing is. You either have to turn that feature off and close it or you sit there hitting the button 40 times for it to finally decide to close. Has been happening for months and have brought it up to the dealership repeatedly. I have multiple videos of this issue
