My front yellow indicator lights on outside body of vehicle keep popping out. Took in for repair at Honda Superstition, got home and light popped out again. I believe I was sold defective new vehicle. Transmission skips, Starter had to be replaced within 9 months of purchase. Freon in cooling system was not filled or the system does work properly. Not sure.

The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) / Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) have almost gotten me into 3 accidents in the past year. I bought the car brand new and it now has almost 13k miles. All three incidents have been when traveling at speed of 35-45 on divided highways with turn lanes and stop lights when passing large vehicles. The video clips I will upload unfortunately does not have volume but the brake sign pops up on the dash and the cat beeps loud and then slams on the brakes for no reason. Even if those vehicles were in my lane, it would have stopped me too late as you can tell by how the car dips in the videos. I don't want to turn off the "safety" feature in case something does actually happen in front of me but its put my family in danger more than it has helped. I was told by honda when it happened the first time to clean the glass in front of the cameras but they were clean. They dont seem to want to take responsibility for this. I see this issue on the 5th gen Odyssey group on Facebook often which ahs finally prompted me to come here and file this incident. Also since your website does not accept MP4 videos here is a link to the videos: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

For some reason, the car applies emergency breaking for no apparent reason. It has happened to me on multiple occasions usually when driving on the interstate, although it has happened on regular town roads, sometimes I feel like it. It might be sensing lines on the road as something it needs to break for although other times it appears to happen for no reason whatsoever. Emergency breaking when there’s no reason to break can cause accidents.

I have a 2026 and for the past six months have had issues with the van restarting after the idle stop kicks in. The dealership was notified three different times about difficulty restarting. They were unable to “reproduce it” even though it happened when the service clerk went to move it out of the service check in area and he told the mechanics. Then in August, the car died at a light and I was not able to shut the van off or restart for ~ 4-5 minutes. It then occurred again in early October where it died on the interstate (294 in Illinois) in traffic. The vehicle was brought to the dealership again where I was informed that they could not reproduce it, however, they checked the starter and said my 2026 had a discontinued starter and they ended up replacing my starter. I want to report this because when the car dies in the middle of traffic or at a light, it presents a large safety issue, especially when it is a brand new vehicle and you aren’t expecting any issues.

I was driving on the freeway at the posted limit of 70mph. Visibility was clear, light traffic, with no vehicles in front for at least 20 car lengths. Suddenly and without warning the emergency braking system activated. On the dash the word “BRAKE” appeared and the vehicle quickly slowed to 50 mph before resuming normal operation. The driver behind me seemed startled and had to swerve into the next lane to avoid rear ending my vehicle. This is obviously a serious problem.

The vehicle was slowing due to stopped traffic and the engine suddenly shut off (before the vehicle had come to a complete stop) and put itself into park. The vehicle could not be immediately restarted. The car was blocking traffic. After leaving the car off for approximately 10 minutes the car was able to restart.
