36 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2019

It first started out by what I thought was just a issue with me having three new tires bc it would drive as if it was scrubbing. One day I was on my way back from a hair appointment and came to a complete stop and the car went from being in drive to neutral and flashing with the brake light so from that moment on I pulled the car over and put it in park and turned it off and hit the electrical park brake to make sure that was not the issue. Crunk back up and was on my way. So today 11/30 which is a week later I was at the red light stopped and once the light turned green I released my foot off the break and gently pressed the gas and the car acted as if it didn't want to go. So after still lightly hitting the gas praying it would move enough to get out of the road for me to park it in front of a store; I made it directly off the highway into the store parking lot. Once I got it there I put the car in park turned it off and back on. I then ried to put it in drive and reverse and it wouldn't move. Assuming it could have been a transmission problem but none of the lights on the dahs came on. Another issue that has been occuring a year after I purchased the car new, the monitor shuts off and on in the car and goes back to the original Honda link screen every time it restarts.

2016 Honda hrv - intermittent problem with the car not starting (push button start); key icon remains illuminated. We took it to a dealer who said it must be the battery in the key fob (replaced repeatedly with problem recurring) until finally at 49,000 miles they said it was showing code b12c5 start/stop switch has failed. Diagnosis $144 and replacement $302 total $446. It took 10 days from diagnosis to completed repair because they had to order the part. This was big dealership/service dept. Seems they waited till car was out of warranty and then took their sweet time getting the part while I was wringing my hands wondering if the car would start whenever I went somewhere. Not only annoying but very unsafe! please recall this part -it appears to be a common problem with Hondas.
