5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The dominant pattern in 2025 Odyssey complaints centers on the engine and its automatic start-stop system. Owners frequently report the vehicle stalling or failing to restart after the engine shuts off at a red light or stop sign, and in some cases the transmission unexpectedly shifts into park, leaving the driver temporarily unable to select drive until the vehicle is manually restarted. Several owners note dealers couldn't reproduce the problem, and at least one report ties the stalling to a failed 12-volt battery that required replacement, with the issue returning afterward. The electrical system is the second most-reported area, with owners describing warning lights and driver assistance errors, including collision mitigation and lane-keeping faults, appearing without an obvious trigger. The start-stop restart failure is clearly the most concentrated complaint, described across many reports as occurring repeatedly in live traffic.

With Injuries
By System
The 2025 Honda Odyssey has two recalls, the more serious being a faulty front passenger seat sensor that can cause the airbag to deploy incorrectly in a crash, raising the risk of injury.
The second recall affects only vehicles equipped with QRT-Deluxe or QRT-Max wheelchair restraint systems. The retractors in these systems can fail to lock, leaving the wheelchair unsecured and able to move during transit, which can injure the occupant or others in the vehicle.
