UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

Today is the 6th time our Honda has had issues either the automatic start/stop system failing when at a stop light. The car will stop and shut off like it is supposed to, but will not restart. Car needs to be put into park, turned off, restarted, shift back into drive. This happens while we are at risk of being hit from behind, honked at, and creates an unsafe and stressful driving situation. Car has had infotainment issues that seemed to be fixed, but had issues prior to today’s incident. Car has been only serviced at Honda. No warning lights etc. This issue was reported to our dealer last December and they said the could no replicate the issue. In August this happened again immediately after having the car serviced for an oil change. The car is putting my family and others at risk and there seems to be many others with this same problem happening.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

When stopped at a red light the engine shifted from drive to neutral on its own. The brake became stiff and it took shutting off and restarting the car multiple times before it would shift. This is the third instance of this vehicle shifting to neutral on its own. After the previous times (they occurred within the same day- one shifting from park to neutral and the other similar to this experience, also at a red light), I took the car into the dealership where it came back showing no codes and could not be replicated while there. It is a push button electric shifter and the vehicle has had multiple recalls and service bulletins for electronics (all repaired) and has experienced issues beginning one month after I purchased the car brand new.

Corrective Action:

When stopped at a red light the engine shifted from drive to neutral on its own. The brake became stiff and it took shutting off and restarting the car multiple times before it would shift. This is the third instance of this vehicle shifting to neutral on its own. After the previous times (they occurred within the same day- one shifting from park to neutral and the other similar to this experience, also at a red light), I took the car into the dealership where it came back showing no codes and could not be replicated while there.

Potential Consequences:

Auto idle start/stop stalls at intersection. Auto idle engages normally, but when release foot from brake, car acts like it is going to restart the engine as it should, instead it kicks the car in neutral and accessory mode. You have to press the brake, press the start/stop button multiple times to get it to restart.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

On several occasions my vehicle has acted as if it were going to die at a stoplight or intersection where the brake pedal was pushed enough to trigger the auto-off function. It did not start doing this until the last several months. I assumed it was because I did not have my foot pressed enough. On one occasion several weeks back it acted as if it did not want to start and then today I was completely stopped and stuck at a light, blocking traffic. The battery light came on and it would not let me restart it. After a minute I finally got it started and immediately drove it to the Honda dealer in which they weren’t able to check it. I will take back tomorrow for them to check it out. I’ve also read several articles about this same thing happening so I wanted to report it for the records.

Auto Idle Stop is malfunctioning. When my car turns off at a stop using Auto Idle Stop many times the engine does not turn back on. Then I can't put make my car drive. I can't put it into Park. Nothing happens when I give it gas. So now I have to turn off my car and try to restart the engine so I can drive again. So cars behind me are starting to accelerate because the light has turned green and my car has stopped working. This has happened to me more than 10 times. Now I try to remember to turn off Auto Idle Stop but I don't always remember to do so. I'm afraid I will get hit because it is taking me sometimes 10 seconds to get my car moving again. My car is available for inspection. I have not taken it to the dealer. It has not been inspected by anyone. There were no warning signs although a warning light appears on the dash for a second when the engine won't start. It says something about Auto Idle Stop but I'm so busy trying to start my car again I can't read it.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

The car is equipped with a stop-start system that is supposed to shut off the engine when you stop (eg at a red light) and restart almost instantly when you lift the foot off the brake. The restart feature fails somewhat regularly, maybe about 5% of the time. It has happened for many years, and with increasing frequency as the car is getting older. Sometimes the restart has trouble, the car misfires a moment, but then the engine restarts, sometimes a bunch of unrelated warnings sound when this happens, the car reporting that the collision avoidance systems are now offline or similar. Sometimes the engine completely stalls and does not come back online at all; when this happens, getting it restarted generally means putting it in park, turning the car completely off, then starting it again, a process that takes 10-15 seconds. When this happens at an isolated stop sign it is annoying; it has also happened on a highway exit ramp with traffic going around our disabled vehicle. Various Honda dealers have inspected and maintained the vehicle, and none have detected anything wrong to explain this behavior. The problem is intermittent and thus hard to reproduce on demand.
