Consumer Description
I understand my vehicle has a start and stop function. It does not work as it’s intended per Honda dealership and page 400s of the owners manual. My car is been shutting off randomly as I’m giving it gas moving forward ( 1 time) and we’ll over 10 times as I’m backing up into my driveway. When I am backing up, it’s normal and out of no where, my vehicle shuts off and it shifts back to neutral then starts to roll forward. When my truck shuts off as I’m in reverse, my reverse camera becomes audio or audio off when it’s suppose to show the rear camera back up. And my dash board, the oil light and battery comes on. I’ve brought it up to Honda dealership and I keep getting the run around. This is a safety concern! It’s a safety concern for myself, family and also the people around me driving if this happens to shut off on the freeway or even on the city road. I have my kids in the car and I could get crush from all directions if my car shuts off randomly. What do Honda need in order to fix this? My car getting crushed in an accident? Honda states they could not replicated it so I provided dash cam footage, live video footage. And still I’m getting the run around. Please help. Honda stated my after market parts caused this issue. But could not explain to me why and how it caused it?? I have a carb legal intake and an LED light strip. Nothing fancy! No harness no nothing! Just simple fuse power and ground. I’ve brought my vehicle in before for this issue ( with my carb legal intake) and Honda deemed it “safe and could not replicate it” so I carried on and installed my LED light strip properly. They could not explain it to me how my parts caused the issue. So I put my car back to stock specs as they recommended. And immediately my car shuts off like I stated in this. I did not buy a Honda to have issues. At this point I’m over owning this car. It’s brand new! There is a bigger issue. And I feel like I am wasting my time. At this point- I need more help.
