While stopped at a red traffic light after taking a freeway exit with one foot on the brake, my 2020 Honda Pilot engaged in auto stop (auto idle stop). When the traffic light turned green, I took my foot off of the brake, the vehicle attempted to start but stalled with the electrical components still on (dashboard indicators and ventilation still on). I stepped on the brake and attempted to put the vehicle in park, but noticed the vehicle would not shift out of neutral. I pressed the start/stop button (ignition) and the dashboard indicators flashed but the engine did not start until the second attempt. Somewhere in between, I pressed the emergency lights to indicate to drivers behind me of an issue. About 15-20 seconds had lapsed during my troubleshooting attempt. Prior to this event, there were at least 8 individual events where when the auto start/stop was engaged and disengaged, the dashboard would flash warning signals for a fraction of a second with an audible warning sound. Dashboard warnings flashed on and off too quickly to clearly see what was being displayed. A short delay in restarting the vehicle from idle stop would occur, about 1-2 seconds but the car would then proceed and run as usual.

This is regarding a fuel pump safety recall for 2020 Honda Pilot. We have been receiving notifications of this recall for about 5 months. Each time I try to schedule the repair with my local Honda dealer I'm told that they do not have the parts in. Last week (05/16/24) I was told they will not have them until fall of 2024. Meanwhile, our Pilot has stalled in traffic several times presenting a safety risk to us and others. Today I called Honda Customer Service (888-234-2138) and was told that to expedite service I would need to have the part inspected and IF they determine that it is due to the fuel pump problem they will expedite receipt of the part and repair, but IF they determine that it is something else I will have to pay for the diagnostic fee. I find this unacceptable and I find the delay in repairing effected vehicles unacceptable. Honda has a legal obligation to protect the safety of it's customers in a timely manner. They have not done so. And, my vehicle's problem is clearly exactly as described in the recall notice, so why should there be any possibility that I would have to pay a diagnosis fee when the part is inspected? Meanwhile I will schedule the inspection as required, but Honda's handling of this recall is unacceptable. Please let me know what, if any action, I should take and what if any you will take. Thank you.
