Consumer Description
1. The automatic start/stop feature sometimes fails to restart the vehicle 2. On a few occasions now I have been stranded at a stoplight trying to restart the vehicle with people trying to navigate around me. 3. I have not have it inspected by the dealer or mechanic yet. In my own research of the issue I found the there are a number of complaints about the same issue in the range of model years that includes my 2017 Honda Pilot 4. There were no lamps or warnings prior to the issue. When I take my foot off the brake the engine is supposed to restart but didn't. I had to completely power off the vehicle and open the door (so that all accessories like the radio were also powered off) and restart the car. But it took multiple tries. When I pressed the starter button the accessories would come on but the engine doesn't immediately start. There were no prior symptoms and, outside of the auto start/stop failures, I have never had a problem starting the vehicle. The auto start/stop works most of the time so, although the issue has happened a few times now, it is not consistent.
