HONDA ODYSSEY 2023 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
medium
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.

HONDA ODYSSEY 2023 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
critical
While driving from [XXX] to [XXX], all of the safety systems started to fail. We had driven about 45 minutes from our starting point. As the system started to fail, they would flash across the screen on the dashboard saying each one that was failing. We pulled over to the side of the road, and my husband popped the hood and flames started coming out of the hood, closest to the dashboard and windshield. We called 911 and by the time they reached our location, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the trunk independently unlatched. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently, requiring the trunk to be tied down to prevent reopening. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with water damage in the fuse box. The contact was informed that the trunk under the garnish area needed to be resealed, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,465.

HONDA ODYSSEY 2023 SEATS
medium
The front seat slide lever on my 2023 Honda Odyssey failed completely on its own with no accident, force, or misuse involved. The lever detached from the seat rail mechanism, making it impossible to slide the seat forward or backward. The vehicle was purchased in August 2022 and this failure occurred approximately 3.5 years later, just 10 months outside the bumper-to-bumper warranty. When I brought the vehicle to the Honda dealer, I was informed I would be charged $100 for diagnostics even if I declined the repair, leaving me no real choice but to proceed. The total repair cost was $276 (parts $189.78, labor $70.95, misc $15.60) plus taxes. I contacted Honda Customer Relations requesting goodwill reimbursement. After a 3-week review, Honda denied the request. I believe this may be a manufacturing defect as another owner of the same Odyssey model has reported the identical failure.
