“When stopped at a stop light the auto start feature sometimes - more often than not- fails to start back and the truck is stuck at the intersection. After putting it in park it will start after several tries. My dealership tells me there is nothing wrong with it even though it’s still under warranty. This has happened over 10 times to me”
NHTSA complaint #11761891, filed 2026-09“I was on 93 north in stop and go rush hour traffic just north of Boston Ma. Came to a stop and my auto start stop shut off as usual but the car didn’t restart. I had to shut the car off and restart it as if I just got in it. This is a huge concern seeing how I’m in this traffic daily and it’s not a safe place for your car not to restart.”
NHTSA complaint #11768664, filed 2026-10“After coming to a stop and the idle stop feature engages, the vehicle does not automatically restart. I am presented with a message that says system problem detected. shift to park . After shifting to park, I am presented with another message that says to continue to drive, depress the brake pedal and push switch. I then have to completely shut off the engine by pushing the stop button . Then, I have to do a full restart before the vehicle starts again. This has happened 5 times in the last month. …”
NHTSA complaint #11756706, filed 2026-08“While sitting at a stop light at an extremely busy intersection, After pressing the Auto Idle Off button in trying to keep the air conditioner running, my vehicle just completely shut down like it had a completely dead battery. I couldn’t even turn on my hazard lights. The vehicle was completely dead. After pressing the on/off button several times, power to the vehicle was restored and I was able to restart the vehicle. It reminded me of when a computer glitches and reboots on its own. …”
NHTSA complaint #11653319, filed 2025-04“I attempted to have this recall address with no remediation. I went to the Dealer 2 months ago and called Honda's recall line and was told that Honda is not equipped to repair the vehicle due to a parts shortage.”
