Idle stop system works properly 99. 9% of the time. However, three times in the last 12 months, I was stopped at a light and when I took my foot off the brake the car did not start. I tried to re-start, but it did not start immediately, took about 10 to 20 seconds to start. In each of the cases, I was able to restart just not right away. These three instances were about four months or so apart. The system was checked by Acura service twice, and no issues found.
I stopped(stationary) at a light to make a left turn into the freeway. While stationary the engine went into automatic idle stop to save gas and once the light turn green the car was not able to turn on at all and had to call aaa. It was giving me error messages in regards fuel pump and brake system etc. In the dash.
Vehicle turns itself off after backing in and sitting idle for 30 - 60 seconds.
I live in colorado and use paddle down shift to gear down for slowing on declines. When I do that, the car acelerares for a few seconds before slowing down. This is a very dangerous situation because you believe you are slowing to avoid running into the car in front and instead you increasing speed toward the back of the car in front. Acura customer service say that is the way the car is designed, but does not defend the logic of that design. I can not believe that this has not caused serious situations and accidents.
