NHTSA Complaint #11515712 — 2017 HONDA PILOT

When stopped at a stoplight in traffic, the auto stop/start feature failed to restart the engine after removing my foot from the brake to the gas. All lights on the dashboard were lit and there was an orange message on the dashboard saying I needed to push the brake to restart the engine. However, I needed to put my car in park, fully turn off the engine and then it took several attempts to restart the engine in the middle of traffic, causing a safety concern of a stranded vehicle in the middle of a busy highway. I attempted to push the brake to move the vehicle into neutral and try ti coast to the side of the road, however, I was not able to move my car out of park until the engine was fully restarted.
