More importantly, why does anything that is a 2026 model year or later still have stop/start???

If rust is the real issue, have you tried new cheap ones?

Isn't Honda famous for weak and failing A/C?

Possibly so, but I thought that all cars made after a certain point because it's legally mandated (and IMO, probably because the thought that it would increase average real world MPG).

They probably expect the transmission to fail before the wet belt, and that you would replace the wet belt as part of a transmission replacement.

Never used the tape, but since it's often out of stock I assumed that must have at least some effect.

I've never had a starter go bad (and I keep my car a long time). If I were maintaining a fleet and for some reason sometimes had starter issues, yeah, rebuilding one myself would be my first choice as per dfarr67. If you are having repeated failures on starters I have to wonder about the state...

In Indiana, an A/C unit should have lasted much longer.

Because Lexus has enough supply for another dealer?

Chevrolet -> Ford -> Ford -> Oldsmobile (current daily driver). Not sure what I would buy now if I had to since Ford doesn't make cars.

I'm sure whomever is delivering my mail in Baltimore City will continue to just throw it away instead of actually delivering it.

FIXED:

Pics of the new oil filter please!

Would the bearings and grease in a shelved 25 year old NOS unit still be good?? Probably not. That and the shaft seal is probably bad too.

Pics please!
