Consumer Description

No Restart After Auto Start/Stop Engages. On several occasions when coming to a full stop at a red light/stop sign or heavy traffic, the auto start/stop feature turns of the engine. However, when releasing the brake, which is supposed to turn the engine back on, the engine stalls and takes several attempts to restart the engine via the push button starter. Have taken the vehicle to our local Honda dealership several times. First couple of times they said it was a weak battery and they replaced it twice under the vehicles warranty. The third time they said it was our aftermarket forward camera that was causing interference and was charge by the dealer to remove and reprogram the "system". Fourth time they said it was a dirty throttle body and also had to pay to have it cleaned. Eventually found article on the internet from June '22 that there is an open investigation by NHTSA on this issue. Took vehicle back to dealership again and they wanted to charge for cleaning the throttle body but declined. Vehicle is not safe to drive with Auto/Stop feature on. We consciously have to turn off feature when initially starting the vehicle to avoid it from stalling in busy traffic or intersection.
