The engine fails to restart automatically after shutting off at a complete stop (such as a red light or intersection
The Auto Idle feature has caused my car to stall multiple times. This is extremely dangerous because it always happens when I am in populated areas- sometimes at red lights and another time in stop/go highway traffic. My car is 1.5 years old and this keeps happening more and more frequently. I am very concerned that one of these times I am going to be rear ended because traffic starts to go, I let off the brake to drive and then my car stalls. I then have to turn my vehicle off completely and then back on to get it to not have issues. I do get a warning saying to depress the break and press the start button. Sometimes I get a red battery light on the dash.

When the vehicle comes to a complete stop at intersections, traffic lights, or in stop-and-go traffic, the Auto Idle Stop system engages as designed and shuts off the engine.

However, when attempting go through the intersection after the light changed to green, the engine failed to restart automatically. The vehicle completely lost power in an active lane of traffic, creating a safety hazard. The vehicle had to be shifted into park and manually restarted to clear the roadway. This failure appears directly related to NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA25004 regarding Honda/Acura Auto Idle Stop restart failures.
