"Automatic idle stop" not a fan

Great car. Very sound. Quietest honda we have owned, we've had 5. Smooth responsive engine/ transmission. Would have knocked off a star for having the motor shut off at every stop. But since you can over ride that function by pressing a button, although you have to do that every time you start the motor we let it slide.
Multiple service visits within first year: Caution

UPDATE 2: Dropped from 3-stars to 1-star at around 12k miles. UPDATE 1: Dropped from 4-stars to 3-stars to 1-star now (8k miles). Summary: I didn't know Honda could have so many problems. Will not buy another Honda Minivan. What is the point of the Elite trim? I've been to the shop too many times for this 2020 Honda Odyssey Elite and am getting more uncomfortable with each visit. My primary two concerns: 1) Electronics 2) Transmission **Electronics** I've had to bring the vehicle in TWICE already to fix the static pop issues in less than a year. The static pops can get loud enough to make me want to open the window. This is reported as a known issue. Parking Sensors: The parking sensors just started screwing up around 12,000 miles. While driving it just starts beeping madly as if something is right in front of the sensor. I went outside to inspect and there is nothing there. I use the parking sensors to fit into my garage and navigate tight drive-thru lanes, so disappointing that these are already not working right. I still need to take to shop for this. CabinWatch Camera: The interior cabin camera seems to always freeze up. They just fixed it due to a recall, so I'll monitor. *UPDATE* this has been working better lately. Auto-high beams don't seem to work. They worked perfect on my prior Honda CRV. I manually operate my high-beams. While a minor issue, what is the point of the feature? Wireless charger: the phone has to be just right. Makes it a pain as opposed to something I could just set down and forget. I just plug my phone in now instead of using wireless charging. Major recall with power/fire risk issue, was fixed but concerning. Other electronics recalls have occurred. A total of 5 related recall/issues surrounding electronics so far. **Transmission** Transmission recently started jerky/stutter in downshift between 30-40mph. When brought to service center, was noted that "commonly reported by customers" but is "typical of the vehicle" - this was not present when I first purchased the vehicle and it sounds like the transmission problems from the 2014-2015 series Honda Odyssey. This really makes the driving experience unpleasant as I am often in that speed range in the city. UPDATE: This seems to be slowly getting worse. I just hit 12k miles at my 1st year of ownership. UPDATE: For the recall fixes round 2, I had to wait a few weeks for some parts to come in.

As a long time Honda owner I am EXTREMELY infuriated with the fact that I am already having an issue with a brand new vehicle. Purchased a 2020 Odyssey on May 26, 2020 and on June 25, 2020 the audio just stopped working mid drive. I get home, turn the car completely off and the display would not turn off. After troubleshooting over the phone to no avail we have had to physically taken it in. Mind you, there is a fuse you can disconnect or you can disconnect the battery in order to potentially force a reboot but the real question is WHY DO I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE? After a quick google search it appears that Honda KNOWS about this issue with the 2018 and 2019 odyssey which further indicates they have done NOTHING to fix the actual problem and continue to knowingly sell DEFECTED CARS. Shame on you Honda! If you are considering purchasing a new Honda Odyssey, I strongly urge you to reconsider. We replaced our 2014 Honda Odyssey with this and completely regret doing so.

Like many others, my wife didn’t want to take the dive into being a minivan mom, but the Odyssey legit makes life easier and better. There are so many things to love about this van from the magic sliding 2nd row, to the hideaway 3rd row (great for Costco runs), Apple CarPlay, all the safety features, and 280hp engine. The 10 speed tranny is very smooth and crisp. We opted for the EXL w NAV/RES and its great for road trips and keeps the kids entertained, and you can still listen to music/podcast up front while they enjoy a movie in the back. With the RES package, you also get a handy 110v plug and HDMI port so we have hooked up our Super Nintendo Classic. At the end of the day, these 3 row SUVs, and their unusable 3rd row, aren’t any cooler than an Ody, so just make the plunge, you won’t regret it! You will love it as much as we do.

Electrical System ruin this car

I have had so many issues as do many others with the infotainment center.m and other electrical issues. My car will unlock on its own, dashboard will go black. It’s horrible. Has been to the show numerous times ( like so many others) and Honda still can’t figure it out. So we buy a brand new car for it to me more of a nuisance. Since this car is all electrical, even the gear shift is a push button , it makes the driving experience more of a headache.
