“On two occasions, I was driving at freeway speeds in a cold climate for about an hour. I decelerated onto an off ramp. Upon acceleration, I received a flashing check engine light and reduced power. I was able to limp home at decreased speeds. I was able to pull codes p0304 - cylinder 4 misfire, p0305 - cylinder 5 misfire, c342d - manufacturer control. The problem went away after restarting the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to see any codes or reproduce the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11394325, filed 2021-02, 4,700 miles“Whenever I’m driving in my vehicle everything seems to be fine until I stop at a red light. On three separate occasions, while my vehicle is stopped it will automatically go into neutral and stall. This causes my truck not to run properly. I have to shut my car off, and then turn it back on to put it in drive and operate it like normal. I’m unsure what my cars issue is but it is an inconvenience and a safety concern due to it keeps happening while in traffic.”
NHTSA complaint #11669986, filed 2025-06“My 2020 Honda Ridgeline has an Auto Idle/Start system. The truck engine turns off when it stops, then automatically turns on when brake is released or gas pedal pressed. There was a Honda notice issued that the system may not automatically restart. A fix (software update) from Honda was implemented on my truck on 03/29/23. This fix did not work. On 09/05/25 at 1:25 pm I pulled up to an intersection. The Auto Idle system automatically turned off the engine as intended. About 2 minutes later, when the brake was released and gas pedal pressed, the engine did not restart. The truck stalled. …”
