What owners wrote
“The idle restart function causes the van to shut off completely when at stop lights in heavy traffic. It does not immediately restart and we have to sit in traffic while folk are honking at us to go. It doesnât do this every time, but has happened 3 times in the last 3 months.”

“While waiting at a red light with foot on the brake, the auto idle stop system shuts off the engine but fails to restart it when the foot is lifted off the brake, causing stalling. The vehicle has to be put in park and turned off completely and restarted before it will drive. This has happened twice, once on 5/1/26 and today on 5/7/26.”

“The vehicle's Auto Idle Stop system shuts off the engine at stop lights and other low-speed stops and, on multiple occasions, fails to restart, and the AIS disable button is sticking. We disable AIS every single time we drive the vehicle, and on multiple occasions the button has re-engaged itself mid-drive, meaning the safety hazard cannot reliably be avoided even with the workaround Honda recommends.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 55 reports involved a crash and 2 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
