“My 2026 Honda Odyssey's auto idle stop system shut the engine off at a red light, and when I lifted off the brake the engine failed to restart, leaving the vehicle completely inoperable in traffic. I had to shift into park and manually restart the engine. This has happened three times.”

“There is some sort of starter issue. It has a way to turn the starter off when I'm idle but multiple times it's taken a long time to start after idling. Today it would not move after I was idle at a light so I had to park and restart the car.”

“Starter went bad at 15,000 miles... I'm part of some online forums and it's a common problem. Honda tech even admitted that it common. Honda knows about the problem, but I don't see any recall for the common problem. What happens when it goes out and the car is out of warranty?”
