2017 Honda Pilot complaints

This vehicle is equipped with an "idle off" feature meaning the engine stops for a period of time when the car is at zero speed (for example a stop light) then restarts when the brake is released or the steering wheel is turned. In 3 separate instances, my vehicle has stalled during the re-start process. The vehicle will restart for a second or two moving about 5 feet then stalls bringing the vehicle to an abrupt stop. All instances have occurred in or approaching an intersection. Once stalled, the vehicle will not re-start immediately, it takes approximately 15 to 30 seconds to get the vehicle restarted. All 3 incidents have posed a safety concern for myself and other people traveling behind me.

Approximately 6 times in the last several weeks the engine of my Pilot has auto shut off at a stop light but then it will not restart when I try to go. I have to shut down the whole car and it takes several tries to get it restarted. The most recent time it would not restart for several minutes. I am then stuck in traffic unable to move. I have to remember to disable the auto shut-off/restart or this occurs.

Without warning, the sunroof suddenly exploded/shattered while driving without current or previous damage or collision. Glass particles fell into the cabin of the vehicle on driver and passenger.

Auto-stop feature failed to restart vehicle after auto-stop was engaged at a stop light. When letting off the brake, the auto-stop disengaged, but the vehicle engine failed to start, posing a safety risk as the vehicle did not restart in heavy traffic. This has been reproduced numerous times by the owner, but not by a dealer or independent service center. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, but the owner is an ASE certified mechanic. Warning lamps illuminate after vehicle fails to start, but the only way to restart the vehicle is to shift into park, completely shut off the vehicle electrical and attempt to restart. The system is receiving appropriate recharge from alternator, and battery is in acceptable condition.

On Sun NOV 13th, 2022 I was on I-75 going north and had to slow down and then stop at a 'stop and go' traffic in the beginning of or just before the construction zone. With my foot on the brake, complete stop on the highway, the Honda Pilot suddenly went into Neutral and I was unable to put it in drive mode. I panicked, as there was a lot of traffic behind and I put the blinkers on, put the vehicle in park, tried to restart and didn't work. After a couple of tries, fortunately the engine restarted. In the middle of the one lane construction, I had to stop once again as the traffic was stopped. Once again the Pilot did the same thing. It stalled, and I had to restart the engine. It was very scary and a big safety problem. I have placed a call into Honda service but no response as yet. It is scary now to stop at red lights and stop signs! It happened 2 times in the same construction zone within 5 minutes.

The engine would not restart at the red light. Start/Stop system was active, came to a red light and the vehicle turned off as normal with my foot on the brake, when the brakes were released the vehicle did not restart and I heard a click sound. I had to manually(push the start button) to completely turn off the car and then press it again to start the car. I had my entire family in the car including my child, with vehicles behind me on a main multi lane road. I almost got rear ended due to this malfunction.

Auto engine start/stop has failed multiple times causing dangerous conditions in traffic. Engine will not restart for minutes after cutting off due to start/stop component.

Problem with the auto engine idle stop system. With the Honda stopped at a traffic light, the engine turned off completely and pressing the accelerator pedal did not restart the car. And continually pressing the Start button didn’t start the engine, either. It has happened three times so far. My family and I were unexpectedly immobile in the middle of traffic, with vehicles driving around our stranded automobile. We were nervous that an accident would occur. The brake pedal locked and I had to press the brake pedal firmly numerous times before the Start button would allow the car to start.

When driving the vehicle with the auto start/stop engaged upon stopping the engine will turn off at an intersection however it will not turn back on. It takes several tries for the vehicle to start back up.

Emissions System Problem On 8-11-2022, multiple lights came on the dashboard with multiple systems errors. Brought to dealership and they replaced the fuel injectors. The dealership stated that this was a known problem with the 2016-2017 Honda Pilot's. Honda is giving a 10-year, 150,000 mile extended warranty from the date of purchase to cover fuel injectors and pipes leading up to the fuel injectors. On 9-27-2022, dash lit up with another Emissions System Problem. Brought to same dealership and they stated that the vehicle needed a software update. On 10-31-2022, dash lit up for the third time showing Emissions System Problem. Brought to same dealership. Currently waiting on diagnosis.

The engine idle stop is extremely dangerous and is going to cause someone to be seriously injured or killed. Ever since I have owned the vehicle, I have had a problem with the engine auto idle stop malfunctioning. The dealership can never find an issue. It has become so bad that if I forget to disable the idle stop, as soon as I step on the brake my entire car resets/shuts down and will not turn back on for several seconds. I was left in the middle of an intersection with other drivers blaring their horns at me, scaring my children, because my car shut off in the intersection as I was attempting a left turn. As soon as I take my foot off of the brake, the car resets and the dash tells me to shift to P. Which I cannot do. Then it shuts down again and I am at the mercy of the vehicle and other drivers to not collide with me until my vehicle decides to turn back on. It is extremely dangerous.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the hood was shaking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V932000 (Structure, Latches/Locks/Linkages). The dealer performed the recall repair by replacing the hood latch striker. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle had previously been serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V932000 (Structure, Latches/Locks/Linkages). The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.

Car fails to restart when the engine auto shut off engages. The engine will attempt to restart, but then nothing happens. The car is essentially stalled in traffic. This has happened three times. The car has to be put in park and fully shut off before it will restart using the car’s on/off button. One time it took a few minutes before the car would restart. This happened even after having the battery replaced. I informed the dealer about the problem, and the dealer acknowledged that there is some sort of problem with the auto shut off feature.

Multiple times while driving with the auto start/stop engaged, the vehicle will turn off when coming to a stop at a traffic light or stop sign and then need to be restarted with the actual start/stop button. Call to purchasing dealer was met with unrealistic demand that the vehicle be left there for an undeterminable amount of time so that it could be inspected. No other lamps have come on or warned against this. Only way to make it not happen is to turn off the auto start/stop after the vehicle is started.

Car alarm keeps going off randomly and the electronic dashboard flickers repeatedly while the car is parked. I recently left the car at a parking garage and apparently the alarm was triggered and ran all day - I came back to the car that evening and there was clicking sound coming from the engine (not turned on, of course). The battery was drained and when I got a jump start, the alarm went off and the dashboard went crazy again. I wonder what would might happen when the car is being driven. There's clearly something wrong with the electronics. The dealer said I needed a new body control module (BCM), but the part is hard to come by apparently. Having done some research on the the issue, this appears to be a common problem with Honda Pilots. My car only has 50k miles on it and seems out of character to have this part fail. The short-term solution is to leave the car unlocked which in turn disarms the car alarm, but I've seen the dashboard and cabin lights flicker off and on in this state. This problem has been ongoing for months now.

When at a red light the engine turns off when you press the brake. When you life you foot it should restart automatically. Multiple times my car has no restarted. It sends me a message to put the car in park, press the brake again, and restart with the push button. But it did not work immediately. I had to do the process 5-15 times before it restarted. This is a safety issue because I’m in a stalled car at a red light with traffic trying to get around my car or worse cars coming at a regular speed who don’t see I’m stopped. After researching I have seen that this issue has happened to other owners as well. I called my local dealership who said to bring it in so they could inspect it - which I have not done so yet. Just today there was a brief flash of an alert right after it restarts mentioning the collision assist or one of the other safety issues but it disappeared before I was able to fully read it.

Our 2017 Honda Pilot is having issues with the idle stop feature at a stop light or other standard stops. The engine completely shuts off and all electronics also shut off. It then needs to be placed in park and restarted. However, it sometimes takes multiple attempts to restart the engine. We are now having trouble with it even starting when the engine has been off. All the dashboard lights come on and it sometimes takes several attempts to start the engine. This issue is very unsafe when traveling and having your engine completely shut off while in traffic and could easily lead to a traffic accident. We have spoken to our local Honda dealer several times about this issue and they have said that Honda knows about this issue but does not have any solutions for the problem. Something needs to be done about this before a serious accident happens because of it.

While the vehicle was stop, the auto shut off went off, and upon moving the foot from brake and depress accelerator, the Honda Pilot 2017 turned off and restarted requiring driver to depress Engine Start again.

Auto Start/Stop feature malfunction. Vehicle fails to restart after shutting off using Auto Start/Stop feature.

The engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection with the Auto Start/Stop function engaged. This has happened infrequently in the past but is now occurring more often, multiple times a month.

The engine shut down at a stop light. Never started again. Had it towed to dealership (Swope Honda World Louisville KY). They ran diagnostics and cannot get the engine to turn over. Checked starter, battery, reset all electronics. Can't even hand turn the engine . They are recommending we replace the engine for $8200 on a Pilot that has 70K miles.

While driving the car has been giving quick warnings that we weren't able to capture when the start stop was active. Today while at a light at a complete stop and about to make a right the car suddenly shifts to Neutral and prompts us to put in park, then once on park the car shut off completely. While at the light still on park we tried to restart the call, but it would not. It took a few tries to finally start.

This is my third incident of being stopped at a red light and the auto idle turns on. When the light turns green, and I release my foot from the break, my car stalls and tells me put it into park. My car essentially stalls out and I have to shut it off and on. Usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute for it to start up again. I almost got rear ended today at a light and I am concerned for my safety. How can we turn this into a recall and get this fixed before somebody gets injured?

The issue occurs when the car is stopped (at a traffic light) and the auto engine off is engaged, when I lift the brake to press the accelerator, the car shuts off the engine completely, puts itself in neutral and requires me to put the car in park and restart (press brake and ignition button). I then struggle to start the car (attempting multiple times) and restore it to drive. This is a major safety issue that occurs in the middle of traffic.

I am the owner of a 2017 Honda Pilot Touring. My car has been dealer maintained. It was most recently in for routine maintenance less than 3 weeks ago. On October 7, 2022 at approximately 2:00pm I was stopped at a major intersection. My Auto Idle Stop engaged and my engine went idle. When the light turned green, I let off the brake my car jumped 2-3 times and went dead. The dashboard showed the car to now be in Neutral and the battery indicator was lit. I quickly attempted to restart the car and/or put the car in Park. Over the course of 30+ seconds, I tried various combinations pushing the Start button or the Park button. There was no response. I attempted to call my husband, he was unavailable, so I tried again and the car started immediatley (while in neutral). I have had numerous instances of the Auto Idle Stop not responding quickly when it should restart. The delay can be up to 4 seconds after lifting my foot or turning the wheel. It has become my habit to turn off Auto Idle Stop when starting the car. I believe 90%+ of my driving is without it due to the unreliability. However the latest incident has me very concerned about driving the car. This along with other transmission/computer issues have been mentioned to my dealer during routine service. Many of those issues were corrected, however an issue with the Auto Idle Stop has not been discovered and I was advised to deactivate it when starting the car. Please keep in mind that the default setting is on. If I forget to

The engine fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or road intersection with the Auto Start/Stop function engaged. It's very serious safety issue when this problem happened on the road. I visited HONDA service twice for fixing this problem but they couldn't fix it. Pilot does not have the ability to completely stop the automatic Engine Stop-Start function, so I have to manually turn off the Auto Stop-Start function every time I start the engine. But sometimes we forget to turn this feature off. And this problem is recurring again and again. I'm going to log it here because one day I'm in danger of a following car crashing into my car because of this problem.

1. The automatic start/stop feature sometimes fails to restart the vehicle 2. On a few occasions now I have been stranded at a stoplight trying to restart the vehicle with people trying to navigate around me. 3. I have not have it inspected by the dealer or mechanic yet. In my own research of the issue I found the there are a number of complaints about the same issue in the range of model years that includes my 2017 Honda Pilot 4. There were no lamps or warnings prior to the issue. When I take my foot off the brake the engine is supposed to restart but didn't. I had to completely power off the vehicle and open the door (so that all accessories like the radio were also powered off) and restart the car. But it took multiple tries. When I pressed the starter button the accessories would come on but the engine doesn't immediately start. There were no prior symptoms and, outside of the auto start/stop failures, I have never had a problem starting the vehicle. The auto start/stop works most of the time so, although the issue has happened a few times now, it is not consistent.

The vehicle is equipped with auto idle/engine disable. When stopped at a stop light and depressing the brake pedal, the engine shut downs. The engine is supposed to restart on releasing the brake pedal. On a number of occaisions the engine has not restarted, but rather has stalled, leaving me stalled in traffic. It takes several seconds (which feels like a lot when cars are driving around you, honking, etc.) for the engine to completely shut down and then restart. And sometimes the restart is not smooth. Takes time. The dealer service has not reproduced the problem - they did suggest that I replace the battery to see if that would help. It seemed to help a bit - but the problem returned after a short while. This has occurred approximately 5-6 times. I now try to remember to disable the auto idle feature on entering the car. The default is for the feature to remain on, so I have to remember to disable it each time. I have one maintenance record from January 2022 which shows my report of the issue to the service department, and the replacement of the battery. I did ask about the issue prior to, and after, the January 2022 record, but I have only the one documented complaint. I know that this now a known problem and that the NHTSA is investigating. I wanted to share my experience. Thank you.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Yes it is available for inspection upon request The start/stop idle feature doesnt work sometimes. The car is supposed to turn off when you come to a stop light or any stop at all. You put on your break and the car stops and then when you start to go the car turns back on and off you go. For about a year now this has been malfunctioning and my car just stalls. Twice now in the last 6 months this has happened where I have been stuck in traffic with cars yelling and honking there horns at me. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Countless times in the last year my life, my childrens life, and those drivers around me have been at risk. There isn't any warning before it happens and can happen at anytime. Twice I thought I would have to call the police to direct traffic and get my car towed but thank goodness after 5-10 minutes it ended up starting on its own. The problem also is when it stalls like this, you can get the car in neutral to move or anything. Your just stuck. Its so scary and unless I disable this feature every time I drive the car, I risk getting in an accident!! Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No it hasnt been reproduced. It is at the dealership right now because the second incident where it completely stopped for 10 minutes in traffic happened yesterday. Took it to the dealership 6 month afte

Idle stop engages and cuts the car off, but it won't start back up automatically. We have to put the car in park and try to restart it completely. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts; long enough to miss a cycle at the stop light.

After stopping and the auto start-stop system is utilized to turn off the engine, the engine does not restart on its own when releasing the brake pedal. The vehicle must be shifted to park, turned off, and restarted before you can begin driving again. This has happened many times and poses a major safety risk since it happens predominantly at stop lights.

Numerous times the auto stop/start feature has failed to work. When the car tries to start back after the stop/start feature has been engaged, it does not start and will completely turn the car off. All the electronics will flash off and back on. When this happens the car has to be returned to park and can take several minutes to start back leaving the vehicle stranded in the intersection. I have complained to the dealership but they say there isn’t a problem and to just turn the feature off. In order to do that a button has to be pushed every time the car is started.

For years the stop and auto-start feature will not restart automatically. Sometimes the entire vehicle itself will shut down, lose, power, then restart by itself. It is more frequent now. Last week while on the freeway, the car shut down and failed to restart altogether. The engine did not respond. I had to put it in neutral and restart the car. I had to attempt to restart it a couple of times before it finally turned on again.

While at a stoplight, my auto start/stop feature shut the engine down. When I released the brake after the light turned green, the car didn’t restart. Instead it shutdown in put the car in neutral. This resulted in traffic being halted and me frantically attempting to get it restarted. After getting it back in park, I was able to get it restarted.

When stopped, the engine idles off but when I go to accelerate, the engine shuts off. This is becoming a safety issue as the last two times were on a highway although it is really always a safety issue. Last year the dealer had me get a new battery. While that worked for a bit, the issue is back and worse than ever.

The auto stop/start feature is defective. It turns off the engine when stopped at red lights, but many times the engine then fails to start again when the gas pedal is pressed when the light is green, and the car stalls. This has left us stalled in intersections many times, and sometime it takes 10-15 minutes before the car starts again. We even had to call for a tow once. This problem has been ongoing for a few years and I have communicated it to my Honda dealership many times, and have brought it in multiple times, and they have failed to rectify the issue.

Warning signs pop up when it hits 65mph on the highway. It blinks, “transmission system problem” with warning sounds ever so often. I tried to take it to Jiffy Lube multiple times, and they could never find the problem. They checked the transmission fluid and it was okay. They ran diagnostic and nothing was found, yet, this message error appears here and there. I am not sure what else there to do but to report that it’s not safe.

While a stop light, the Idle Stop feature engaged as normal, however when the brake was released the engine failed to restart. This is not the first time this has happened, but this time following the instructions on display, place vehicle in park and press the Start/Stop button, didn't work. It was at night and I figured I would turn off the lights and radio to help. It took 4 or 5 attempts to get the vehicle to restart. This happens more frequently when idle stop is engaged short order, such as in a long line waiting for a left turn.

I stopped at a red light and the idle stop function shut down like it should. When the light turned green, I let my foot off the brake and it stalled out. Some of the dummy lights came on and it stated that I needed "To start engine: brake + push" and shows the break pedal and the Start engine button on the dashboard. So I did. It did nothing. I had to turn the car off and try to restart it. I had to do this 3 times for it to finally start back up so I could drive off. This has happened to me a total of 6 times now. All but one time was at a red light, once being at a roundabout as I was slowing down for a car coming toward me. Today I had to restart it 4 times, open my car door, take my seatbelt off and close my door back before it finally started back up. I have taken it to the dealer once before and they told me it was because my battery was weak and would not make the connection when it went to start back up. They said they 'fixed' it to the best of their ability and just basically hoped it would not happen again. Well, it did. I just had my battery checked last week and it is fine. I have a physical video of it as it is happening. As soon as my car shut itself down "stalled out" I grabbed my phone and videoed it. I am keeping the video on my phone. This is NOT safe. If I can't move at all, it will not go into neutral or anything, so I would not be able to physically move the car into the emergency lane out of traffic or anything.

Vehicle idle or auto start /stop is not functioning.. It has happened multiple times incluiding today 09/23/2022, were the vehicle shuts of and it doesnt start.. All this codes and instructions come up to try to turn the vehicle back on... It always happens is a street light and most of the time is a busy intersection with cars honking and the vehicle is off... IT IS VERY UNSAFE... It takes a couple of minutes to start the car on.. My wife has been stranded for 10 minutes in the middle of traffic going by trying to start the car.. I had this issue at 40k miles and took it to the dealership and paid $746.96 to get the Valve adjusted to correct auto start... Now at 73k miles is happening again... It started at 60k.. Today 09/23/2022 im at the dealership and they say the cant find any code THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE...

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while stopped at a stop sign or light with the brake pedal depressed, the engine turned off; however, when the brake pedal was released the engine failed to restart as designed. The contact stated that the START/STOP button had to be depressed to start the vehicle. The contact stated that no warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic test however, the dealer was not able to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the dealer replaced an unknown gasket, checked the battery, and performed a warranty valve adjustment but the failure continued. The vehicle had been to the dealer at least twice for the failure. The contact stated that upon picking up the vehicle from the dealer, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

Multiple times in the past year the car has stalled when at a complete stop. It's when the car idles down and then we try to go by stepping on the gas. The engine dies completely and we need to put the car in park and then restart the car. This is very dangerous when in traffic on the highway or starting on a green light or stop sign with cars behind us. We've talked to the dealer numerous times and they haven't had any solutions. We need this fixed but think Honda should be paying for it, not us.

5 times now we have been stopped in traffic and the auto stop/start function correctly stopped the engine but the car would not start back despite multiple attempts. Thankfully after about 30-40 seconds the dash lights come back on then the start button will respond and the car will crank and run normally

On many occasions, when the vehicle is stopped (at a light or in gridlock), when I remove my foot from the brake to apply the gas, the engine stops and the vehicle shuts down all systems (audio, nav, etc). When this happens, for a very brief time (too short to get a photo) warning lights related to the collision and/or emergency braking systems flash. After those lights go away, the dashboard lights indicate that the vehicle is in neutral (not by my doing) and that I must press the brake, put the vehicle in park, and restart the vehicle. This process does not always work the first time and the delay of turning off and restarting the car, even when it does work, causes a dangerous situation in traffic. When this happens on a downward hill, my vehicle rolls forward as it “dies” and I am sometimes stuck in the middle of an intersection as I try to restart the vehicle as quickly as I can. When it happens in heavy stop and go freeway traffic, I’m often surrounded by vehicles traveling at high speeds. I’m terrified that my baby and toddler will be hurt in this vehicle. I find it egregious that Honda has not issued a fix, a recall, or any other option for owners of vehicles with such a dangerous flaw.

On multiple occasions now my Pilot has completely shut down while the auto-idle is on and I have been unable to restart it quickly. My young children and I have been stuck in traffic multiple times unable to move or get out of the way of oncoming traffic due to this and most recently on 9/16/22 I was almost hit due to be unable to restart my vehicle. I typically keep the auto-idle off for this reason but if I forget to turn it off, it happens again. I purchased my car on 7/06/22 and this has happened 3 times (which is a very high percentage of the time the auto-idle is accidently left on). I have tried to take it into be serviced but it does not happen every time so they have been unable to assist. There are no lights on, messages or any indication when this happens, the engine just shuts completely down and takes a minute to allow you to put it into park and restart the engine by pressing the break and the start button. This is terrifying for me, my children and everyone else on the road that has almost hit my idle car. I am scared every time I get into this car and unsure what to do at this point.

The car sometimes fails to restart on its own from a complete stop at a traffic light or stop sign with the Auto Start/Stop function engaged. Furthermore, on two recent occasions the car would not start at all after it was turned off to get gas. One of those times it sat for 40 minutes at the gas pump while waiting for a jump start (it eventually started on its own), and the other it had to be towed to the dealer. After the first incident, we were told there was nothing wrong with the battery and a month later, when the car had to be towed, we were told the battery was completely dead. The concern with the start/stop trouble has been reported to the dealer and we were told there was nothing they could see. There have been no warning lights, lamps or messages. The start/stop problem began approximately a year ago, and we have tried to turn that feature off when driving, due to the problems that occur, since we were told there wasn't a problem that could be seen. On the occasions we forget to take this step, it always struggles at a stoplight or intersection and if not caught in time, the car will stall out, sometimes taking 2-3 tries to restart. The vehicle is currently in the shop, awaiting a battery replacement as we have been told that is what is causing the start/stop issue.

The auto-idle system causes the car to stall quite often and poses a major safety hazard. We bought the car brand-new in May 2018. The problem started happening approximately 2 years after buying the car. The car fails to restart when you lift the foot off the break and instead, stalls the car. My husband and I have had the car stall at red lights, at stop signs, and recently while we were in the left lane of a major highway in traffic. Just this past weekend, it stalled on me twice in less than 24 hours. It takes quite a bit of time to restart because you have to put the car in park and make sure it is completely shut down before trying to start it again, while also trying to remember to put on hazard lights. I did bring it to Lia Honda in Albany NY on Sept. 24, 2021, 3.5 years after buying the car, specifically for this issue. They could not recreate it in the shop. They suggested I needed a new battery and proceeded to install a new batter at a cost of approximately $500 (it is my understanding batteries should be replaced every 5 years typically). This helped for about 6 months but now the car is stalling quite often again. While they have a button to disable this system, it defaults to "on" every time you power the car off/on, and it is easy to forget to turn it off. This is a major safety issue as the cars behind me don't realize I have stalled. I realize this is a known issue as other Pilot owners have filed similar complaints, and I hope Honda fixes this issue because

Twice now and it seems to be worse in the summer when the air conditioning is running the auto shut off at a stoplight fails to restart the engine and the car dies at an intersection. This feature is dangerous and very frustrating to the point where I turn this feature off every time I get in the car now. This is happened both to me and to my 16-year-old son. Many times when it tries to reengage it has a hard time starting right back up. This is in addition to the two times it completely died.

When stopped the engine shuts off. It does not always turn back on when attempting to accelerate.

The start- stop function will turn the vehicle off at a light, stop sign, or while stopped in traffic. Once the brake is released the vehicle fails to restart. The vehicle is now obstructing traffic and vulnerable to a rear in collision. Took the vehicle to the dealer five times and the were never able to reproduce the problem. The dealer replaced the battery staying out was low thus it was unable to restart the vehicle once it stopped. There had been not warnings when the start-stop was going to fail. It randomly happens in multiple driving conditions, i.e. highway or city driving conditions. For the vehicle to malfunction at random times puts my family and other drivers at risk each time it happens. Currently the Dealer can not find or duplicate the problem. They have been made fully aware of the problem.
