UNKNOWN OR OTHER

when on default idle stop, ie at a red light at an intersection, there's been a few times where the engine doesn't turn back on, leaving me stranded. battery has been checked and is fine.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Front passenger window completely shattered while vehicle was parked and unoccupied. Outside air temperature was 94° with dewpoint in the 80s.

VISIBILITY

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the windows were stuck and became inoperable. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the windows only went halfway up before falling. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was determined that the window tracks were deteriorating on the driver’s and passenger’s sides. The contact stated that a new window motor was installed but felt that the issue might reoccur. The failure mileage was not provided.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

After stopping the car in a left turn lane in the intersection, the car engine, dash board and infotainment system shut down. No warnings or other items appeared, the car died. After scrambling since it put traffic to a standstill, I shifter to park and returned on the car. Which worked and allowed me to continue. This happened again 1 week later while at a red light.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

Seems like due to the auto idle, it makes the engine idle so low that it dies- my car died in middle of the road- the first time, I had it jumped, and mechanic said it was a fluke, second time, despite the testing not showing any issue, he said we can try to replace the battery, so we did, but 6 weeks later my car died, and it took 5 attempts to get it to restart with the external battery pack! each time there was NO issue with the electrical system- my A/C was running fine, the whole dashboard showed up fine. Seems like according to a class action suit in california this is an issue Honda KNEW about! People now know to press the Auto-off button so the car does not auto idle- but this needs to be done EACH time, or you will end up KILLING your engine! How is this allowed to be sold?? I was stuck in MIDDLE of a busy street with my DAUGHTER in the car!!!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My 2023 Honda Odyssey (only 2.5 years old with 60,000 miles) recently had a complete tailgate failure. The dealership diagnosed the issue as a failed roof seal. This factory seal failure allowed water to leak inside the vehicle, directly shorting out the tailgate motor module causing the module to get very hot which could have caused a fire.The repair bill is $1,200. I contacted Corporate Honda to request Goodwill Assistance, considering the vehicle is so young and a roof seal should absolutely last longer than 2.5 years.Corporate Honda denied the assistance. They claimed a leaking roof seal is an "external factor" rather than a manufacturing defect. A vehicle's roof seal should protect the internal electronics from everyday weather. Labeling a structural seal failure as an external factor is an unacceptable excuse to avoid standing behind their product.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER

This vehicle needs to be added to the current recall 23v-431. Media screen goes blank and rear camera in operable when this happens.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I was driving down the highway at highway speeds with no other vehicles around me and with my air conditioning on and the sunroof exploded.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that the brakes independently activated. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while driving on a busy highway. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the contact was informed that there was no fix for the failure. The contact was informed that the failure was a known failure with similar vehicles. In addition, the contact was advised to disable the forward collision avoidance feature. The contact was informed that the forward collision avoidance system occasionally malfunctioned. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated that the failure was a safety hazard. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

When we are idling (at a red light), the engine will suddenly stop. We believe this is the feature of the start-stop system used to save gasoline. We will then have to completely restart the car as the car has been turned off. This creates a huge safety hazard at intersections. We have asked Honda about it twice now and currently replacing the starter. Our car is a little over 3 years ago with about 40k miles. The starter should not be failing at this point and we believe it is due to this start stop issue. The starter cost us $1400 in a car that is just over 3 years old with about 40k miles.
