The 2016 Honda Pilot Elite has an auto idle stop (AIS). Three times in the last six months my Pilot has stalled when at a stop and not automatically restarted when the foot was taken off the brake. It then took 5-6 tries to have the car restart. Twice it happened at stop signs with traffic behind me and once in rush hour traffic in Dallas when stopped for traffic backup. Mine does not seem to be an isolated problem since I have read numerous accounts of similar problems online. Dealer said did not have a fix for problem.

Auto Idle stop. twice my car has shut of when auto idle was engaged. Traveling at speed have to stop to merge or at red light auto idle will engaged. Car shut off when the brake was released followed by a warning display in the speedometer screen to put car in park and and restart. Those are the facts now for the issue. I was traveling on I35 in Texas merged onto 190. Had to momentarily stop to merge. I let off brake and the car died. Cars where coming up on me fast. I was able to engage hazard flashers and restart car. Second time I was at red light released brake and car died. Followed same procedure and got car restarted. This has happened twice in last two weeks My car is now in the shop. When researching on line this seems to be a common problem.

My car was "stall out" at a stop light or stop sign when I was in "auto idle-stop" and pressed on the gas. I first noticed that the auto idle-stop was hesitating when it would start up. I also noticed that the radio would "cut out". after that, the vehicle would just stall out and I would have to push park, put my foot on the brake and then push start. This is very inconvenient when you are at a stop light or getting ready to make a turn and the vehicle just "dies". took it into the dealership and they said it was a software adjustment. The auto idle-stop worked for a couple of days, then started hesitating and now it intermittently stalls when the gas is pressed.

Auto restart has turned my vehicle off at a stoplight and then not restarted the engine and put the drivetrain into neutral. This has happened multiple times now. Also the car shifts into gears that either slow my car up when I'm trying to accelerate and speeding my vehicle up when braking.

The vehicle is equipped with an auto shut off and restart feature. There are many instances when the vehicle shuts off at a stoplight or in a parking lot and then does not restart automatically as it should. The vehicle must be powered off and on multiple times before the vehicle will restart. There seems to be a faulty sensor or some thing. The Honda dealership has provided no explanation except it's a battery issue which it is not connected as we have replaced the battery. I am concerned that when I am in traffic at a stoplight if I have forgotten to press the button to disengage the auto restart then I'll be stranded while trying to restart the car. It has become more frequent the last 18 months.

The "auto idle-stop" is automatically engaged on this vehicle. Whenever it is "on" the car will stall and shut down when stopping in traffic or at lights. Have brought to Honda, they say it cannot be fixed and its very dangerous.

The engine auto/stop feature had failed 3 times in rush hour traffic. The feature turns off the engine when stopped in traffic and does not turn back on and disengages the car.

- Katy, TX, USA

Recurring problem with idle stop feature causing car engine to shut off completely (even when disabled), resulting in an error message and requiring the car to be turned off and on. This is a safety issue while driving, especially if in an intersection while turning. Https://https://www.piloteers.org/threads/elite-shuts-off-at-stop-light.157005/page-13

Check engine light came on while driving, quickly followed by a flashing oil light. Pull over and turn vehicle off. Check oil and there was plenty. At this point, the car will not turn over. Had it towed to the mechanic. They manually got the car to start but the engine is knocking and there is zero oil pressure. Engine is now needing to be replaced. Vehicle has 105K miles on it. Recently had the water pump and timing belt replaced at 103K miles. Regular oil changes and maintenance have been completed since it was purchased.

- Seaside, CA, USA

While changing lanes (car in motion 65 mph) in the city, warning lights in the instrument claster started to appear. Engine lost power ( could not accelerate) had to change lanes in traffic almost got hit by semi trucks. Managed to drift to side of the road, car went into neutral and could not get into park. Used parking break to keep car from rolling. The instrument cluster finally made up its mind and settled on emissions error. Before that in was showing all sorts of errors. Turned off the car waited a few minutes and was able to drive home. Very scary with kids in car.

It happened to myself w/ my child in my car & then my spouse driving my car alone. However the same problem is known to Honda but until someone is killed, they are refusing to acknowledge, the camshaft shutting off all controls while driving on a highway is completely dangerous. As an experienced driver, I was able to avoid a collusion on a major highway surrounded by tractor trailers going 65mph. Although the Honda dealer has replaced the camshaft twice on my 2016 Honda Pilot with less than 46,000, I am fearful this will happen again. We are left with a balance to pay off, the safety of our family while driving this unsafe vehicle and just cut out losses. However, this will not solve the problem for those who cannot afford to purchase another vehicle. I had a 2006 Honda Pilot with very little problems for 10 years, 95K miles on it. It was why I purchased another Honda Pilot. However, I spent a lot more money. This 2016 Pilot was $30K with the $10K trade in. We maintain all our vehicles as well as garage keep them to protect them from the harsh pa winter elements. As a driver for over 32 years and zero accidents, I do not want to be the cause of a serious accident because Honda is neglecting to acknowledge this new german made engine as well as the transmission is a significant problem. There have been other problems like this one that began one yr after purchase I brought to immediate attention of the dealer. I am sure they report these findings to the manufacture as well. The remote key stopped working, several interior outlets for charging has stopped working, a dome light doesn't work, the garage door opener can't be programmed anymore and other features are no longer working. It is a dangerous car to drive with the risk of starting on fire as well as stopping abruptly like it did for me in 2018 and 2021 for my husband. Vinart lv Honda emmaus,

Twice in the last week my Honda Pilot has shut off when auto-idling at a stop light. The car should remain in drive but when I looked down it had shifted to neutral. The first message on the dash briefly flashed 'crash mitigation problem' and then instructed me to put the car in park and push the engine start button. After this incident, I turned off the crash mitigation system. A couple days later (today), the same thing happened. No crash mitigation system flash but instructions to put the car in park and press then engine start button. Both times the engine was on and in drive. Auto idling was enabled. I have only owned this car for two months.

Over the past few years, I have had issues with my car shutting off when at a stop after the auto off feature engages and does not turn back on. I have to put the car in park and manually restart the engine to continue. This was happening at least a couple times a month. I took it to the Honda dealer and no problem was found according to the dealer. I began to get in the habit of disabling the auto off feature every time I started the car and this seemed to avoid this problem I was having. Two days ago, however, when I was driving, it began to shut off every time I was idling at a red light (8 times in one day) even with the auto-off disabled. And when I got on the freeway, driving at about 55mph, the engine shut off and I had to emergently coast over past the fast lane into a narrow inside shoulder. I had my young children and elderly parents in the car and it was a very scary and dangerous experience for us. We were thankful able to restart the car and get off the freeway with the car shutting off two more times in the middle of the street while driving at slow speeds (10-20 mph) before arriving at a gas station parking lot. The display cycled through many error messages ie emission systems problem, power steering system problem, transmission system problem, emissions system problem, hill start assist problem, etc. I am very concerned that we have got continued to have problems with this vehicle shutting off which is very dangerous.
