    I bought the vehicle new on 07/10/2017. It has been towed into the dealership 3 times because it won't start. The first time it was towed in, the dealership replaced the battery.

The van would not unlock, the lights on the dash wouldn't light up and it would not start. I called honda and they sent a…

    The vehicle has stalled while stopped at a traffic light. There also appears to be a problem with the electronics because the car will report that "this system has lost power. Push and hold the power button for more than two seconds to enable the system." the backup camera has also failed to turn on when the vehicle is put into reverse. See the attached photos for proof.

It should just turn off the engine when the criteria have been met in an effort to conserve fuel in lieu of idling. We are seeing a random issue when this feature activates where the vehicle will shut off the car entirely and place it in park. We must manually start our vehicle again…
