Started my car after work to almost all my dash lights on like park, emissions control, stability control, lane departure with an exclamation mark beside it, electric parking brake problem, hill start assist problem brake hold system problem vehicle stability assist pertinent and check engine light on!.
With the vehicle auto stop function engaged (which is always engaged when starting your drive, can't be disabled automatically) and you come to a stop, the engine will auto stop. When this happens, and simultaneously you need to resume driving, the system will generate a 61-12 error, flash warnings about the brake system and stability control system possibly not working and engage the parking brake. This means that you are stuck where you are until you gather your wits and disengage the parking brake. When this happens in an intersection, particularly when you have to unexpectedly stop and try to hurry on thru you can get caught in oncoming traffic, has happened twice! the car has been seen by Acura 11 times and various components were replaced. Now they are saying that this activity is actually normal and to avoid this situation, always manually disengage the auto stop function. 1. This is too easy to forget, humans don't always remember and 2. Doing so lights up a very irritating amber warning light. This "normal" operation is hazardous! this has been going on from 2,000 miles to my current 36,000 miles!.
