2021 Passport Elite auto engine idle goes to neutral STALLS! and then won't go back to drive. I'm dead in the water on the road. This has happened twice. The first time I was on a major high speed road at a light when stalled out. I put on Hazard lights and it took a few minutes before the car would start back up again. The whole system was locked up. I had a couple of people pull over to try and help me - it was all Honda issue problems. This was in April 2022. My car was purchased new at a major Honda dealership in Houston in December 2020, so it's less than 18 months old and is driven maybe 2-10 times a day, so not much daily wear and tear on the car. Since then I have been in the habit MOST of the time to auto shut off this feature by tapping the button. However, I forgot today and ended up stalling out again when the engine went to auto idle in park, stalled, and then it would not go back to drive. I was stalled in a fast food line this time. It took almost five minutes before the car would turn back over - I waited and gave the car time to reset, tried a couple of times with no success, then again and the car finally started back up. I'm ready to give this car back and shop for a product outside of Honda anything. I'm very disappointed in Honda in general. I thought Honda was a highly reliable car to have an engine to run for many years down the road - at least that is what I had heard and researched. I do not like this feature at all! and wonder if other car makes/models have a higher success rate with idle engine features - or it's just a bad idea all around. If it happens a third time, I'm giving up this car and looking for something much more reliable and will never buy Honda again. Love the Passport - HATE the AUTO IDLE to STALL and won't start back up again feature. This is definitely a safety issue. I'm surprised, and grateful, that reports of car accidents due to this problem have not happened.
