Example complaints

“Starter issue both during idle start/stop mode and going from off to on. Owned for about 20mos and happened first maybe 6mos ago and has happened a dozen times since then. So dangerous! We have had idle start freeze at a green light and are worried we’ll get hit. Sister in law has the same problem with hers. This needs to be fixed immediately!”
NHTSA complaint #11757592, filed 2026-08“Came to a stop at traffic light. Vehicle shifted into park. I was unable to put it back into drive. I shut engine off. After two tries, I was about to start engine again and was able to shift into drive. Incident happened again when I stopped at another traffic light about 2 miles later. Had to restart vehicle in order to enable drive mode.”
NHTSA complaint #11760225, filed 2026-08“While the van is at a complete stop at the intersection it shuts off and behaves as if it needs to be restarted. A message appears instructing me to press the brake and push the start button to start the van. I took it to Honda, but they were unable to find the issue. They replaced the battery to see if that would fix the problem, but about a month later, it happened again.”
NHTSA complaint #11741753, filed 2026-06“The stop-start system that is supposed to idle at lights and when stopped causes the system to completely shut off. This is incredibly dangerous as I have to completely shut the car off and back on. It also eats at the battery so sometimes I have to 'start' multiple times before the engine turns over and actually starts.”
NHTSA complaint #11771650, filed 2026-10“I was at the red light and the car wouldn't come out of idle. The battery light came on and the i tried to turn the car off and it just keeps cycling. I had to open the door for the car to cut off and then restart the car. This is the 3rd time this has happened and almost resulted in me and my children being hit.”
