Consumer Description
I JUST PURCHASED MY HONDA CERTIFIED '17 PILOT ELITE ONE MONTH AGO. I WOULD NOTICE THAT THE CAR WOULD LAG WHEN USING THE AUTO IDLE STOP FUNCTION, IT WOULD SPUTTER, AND EVENTUALLY AND NOW MULTIPLE TIMES, IT WOULD STALL OUT AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHEN I WAS IN AUTO IDLE-STOP AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE TO GO. MY HONDA PILOT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WAITING TO TURN LEFT, OF A BUSY MAIN HIGHWAY, WITH MY HUSBAND AND YOUNG CHILDREN INSIDE. WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO TURN, TOOK FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STALLED. IT TOOK MANY FRANTIC ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CAR TO TURN BACK ON TO BE ABLE TO MOVE SAFELY OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. THIS CAR HAS PLACED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER NOW ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INFORM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING, AND THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR SAME ISSUE NOW, IN ONE MONTH.
