NHTSA Complaint #11388092 — 2016 HONDA PILOT

THERE ARE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS, BUT THE DANGEROUS ONE IS THE AUTO-IDLE DOESN'T ALWAYS ALLOW THE CAR TO RESTART. WHEN I GO INTO IDLE AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND I START TO ACCELERAT, ALL OF THE LIGHTS INSIDE SHUT OFF AND THE CAR STALLS AFTER A FOOT OR TWO. SO FAR IT HAS ALWAYS MANAGED TO RESTART ITSELF, BUT I'VE STARTED TURNING IT OFF WHENEVER I GET INTO THE CAR BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS AND IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE (IT PROBABLY STARTED A YEAR AGO). AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I GOT A "KEYLESS IGNITION PROBLEM" WARNING LIGHT. THE WALK AWAY LOCK FEATURE DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. I'VE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS THAT SAY FIXING THE KEYLESS SWITCH DOESN'T HELP WITH THE AUTO IDLE AND THERE'S NO SPECIFIC ERROR CODE FOR ISSUES WITH THE AUTO IDLE SYSTEM.
