Consumer Description
ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, WHEN MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 30K MILES. MY CAR WOULD STALL WHILE THE CAR WAS IN "AUTO IDLE-STOP MODE". INITIALLY, I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE AUTO IDLE-STOP WAS HESITATING WHEN IT WOULD START UP. THEN THINGS GOT WORSE AND I NOTICED THAT THE RADIO WOULD TURN OFF AND I'D HEAR ALL OF THE CHIMES LIKE WHEN I START THE CAR. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO HONDA TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THEY SAID IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. I ALSO HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE PROMISED HE WOULD INFORM HONDA CORPORATE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY FOLLOW UP. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMETIMES I NEED TO MAKE A TURN AND MY CAR HAS STALLED AND ADDS A FEW SECONDS. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCEING THE SAME PROBLEM: HTTPS://WWW.PILOTEERS.ORG/THREADS/ELITE-SHUTS-OFF-AT-STOP-LIGHT.157005/
