Consumer Description
I am the owner of a 2017 Honda Pilot Touring. My car has been dealer maintained. It was most recently in for routine maintenance less than 3 weeks ago. On October 7, 2022 at approximately 2:00pm I was stopped at a major intersection. My Auto Idle Stop engaged and my engine went idle. When the light turned green, I let off the brake my car jumped 2-3 times and went dead. The dashboard showed the car to now be in Neutral and the battery indicator was lit. I quickly attempted to restart the car and/or put the car in Park. Over the course of 30+ seconds, I tried various combinations pushing the Start button or the Park button. There was no response. I attempted to call my husband, he was unavailable, so I tried again and the car started immediatley (while in neutral). I have had numerous instances of the Auto Idle Stop not responding quickly when it should restart. The delay can be up to 4 seconds after lifting my foot or turning the wheel. It has become my habit to turn off Auto Idle Stop when starting the car. I believe 90%+ of my driving is without it due to the unreliability. However the latest incident has me very concerned about driving the car. This along with other transmission/computer issues have been mentioned to my dealer during routine service. Many of those issues were corrected, however an issue with the Auto Idle Stop has not been discovered and I was advised to deactivate it when starting the car. Please keep in mind that the default setting is on. If I forget to deactivate or when someone borrows my car, this becomes a concerning issue. I contacted my Honda dealer and made an appointment to have it looked at again.
