Consumer Description

THE AUTO ENGINE IDLE STOP IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT THE IDLE STOP WILL COME ON AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN. NORMALLY RELEASING THE BRAKE WILL START THE ENGINE BACK UP. HOWEVER, ON SATURDAY EVENING THE CAR DIED AND TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO START BACK UP. I HAD THE BATTERY INSPECTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT A BATTERY ISSUE AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY TESTED FINE AND WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SYSTEM. HONDA HAS INDICATED THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR.
