HONDA THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED/RESOLVED BEFORE YOU HAVE A BILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS!!!

This problem has been going on for about a year. What is supposed to happen is when idle start/stop feature is enabled the car turns off when you come to a stop and when you start to go the car turns back on. About year ago I started having problems when it would turn off and you would put it in park and be able to restart it. 2 times now over the course of a year the car was stopped at a busy intersection and the car stalled out while I have cars driving by honking and yelling at me to go. The most recent time was yesterday!

I had taken the car to the dealership about 6 months ago because of this issue and they said it was the fuel injectors so I got them fixed. Fast forward 6 months and it started happening again. I had my child in the car and we are in a car that won't start. I was about ready to call a tow truck but after about 5 minutes it finally started. I'm so upset and don't feel safe driving this car. I have it back at the dealer ship and I'm really hoping they can figure it out but I'm less than hopeful. I just can not believe that with as many complaints that these pilots have that it hasn't been resolved. Thank goodness this feature can be disabled but of course I forget sometimes!!

Stopped on a traffic light and car just went dead right in the middle of the intersection!! This is the third time that auto shut down will fail to restart the car. The first time on highway with kids inside... scary!!!
