NHTSA Complaint #11404268 — 2017 HONDA PILOT

WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED AND THE AIRCONDITIONING ON, THE ENGINE WENT INTO IDLE/FUEL SAVING SHUT DOWN MODE AS EXPECTED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN, THE ENGINE STALLED OUT AND NUMEROUS DASH WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I PUT THE CAR IN THE PARK AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, BUT ONLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS IS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE I'VE HAD. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE PROBLEM OCCURS OTHER THAN THE IDLE SWITCH, IF THERE IS SUCH A THING, IS FAILING. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN VA, DEC 2017 AND IT HAS ONLY 18000 MILES, NOW IN FL. I'VE JUST READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS RELATING THE SAME OR SIMILAR SITUATIONS. MANY PEOPLE REPORT THE SITUATION WORSENS WITH TIME AND MOST HAVE HAD NO RESOLUTION FROM THEIR HONDA DEALERSHIPS. ISN'T IT TIME FOR HONDA TO BE TOLD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE HAS AN ACCIDENT OR GETS INJURED??
