Purchased 2018 Honda Elite on 9/7/17. Present mileage 8527. Three times the car has been returned to the dealer because the "Auto Engine Stop" feature works only intermittently, sometimes out for days. Dealer has not been successful to fix the malfunction after preforming several tests directed by HONDA TECH. HT says it may be inhibited at times due to temperature and battery conditions, meaning it is a mystery yet to be corrected or dropped off future cars. Why would Honda continue equipping a car with a broken and unfixable feature and not inform the buyers. Of course, if they told that the features on the car had a problem, customers would walk away wondering what else is broke. Viewing many comments on the internet by Honda owners, Honda has had this problem since 2015. It seems by now there would have been a recall to correct this problem.
