Vehicle has electronic, keyless push button start. It also has a fuel, emissions feature where it shuts down when the brake is depressed, it doesn't idle at stoplights and automatically starts when lifting off the brake. I was driving the vehicle when I approached a red light. Depressed brake and vehicle light showed idle assist and vehicle engine shut off. When the light turned green, I lifted my foot off the brake and onto the gas. The vehicle did not start. All dash lights displayed and all error codes alternated on display. It also showed vehicle was in park. I tried to restart it again by depressing the brake and pushing the engine start button. Vehicle would not start and dials were twitching. Tried several times to start vehicle. The police arrived and wanted to push the vehicle to the side of the road since it was blocking the left hand lane on a 55 mile an hour road. Could not get vehicle in neutral. Call Honda dealership service department to ask how to put vehicle in neutral. They stated they didn't know how. Tow truck arrived and had to drag vehicle onto flat bed tow truck. Tow truck deliver vehicle to dealer. Dealer charged battery to restart vehicle. They ran diagnostics and stated it had no error code. They could not reproduce engine stop and stated there was no report of this happening to another vehicle. After I stated I was nervous to drive the vehicle again, they stated they could keep vehicle and drive it for several days to see if it happened again. Driving conditions: clear day, 30 degrees fahrenheit. Driving approximately 9 minutes, 55 miles per hour. 14,000 mile, less than one year old.
