The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has begun engineering analysis of more than 2.2 million Honda vehicles after reports of engine failure to restart.
The complaint claims that the car's engine cannot restart on its own after a complete stop at a traffic light or intersection when the auto-idle stop function is built in.
Several complaints said a jump start was required to restart the Honda engine.
Failures to resume problems have been discovered, including the 2016-2019 Honda Pilot Vehicles, the 2015-2020 Acura TLX, the 2016-2020 Acura MDX, the 2019-2022 Honda Passport, the 2020-2023 Honda Ridgeline Vehicles, the 2016-2019 Honda Pilot Vehicles, the 2016-2020 Acura MDX.
1,348 incidents have been reported to the NHTSA, linked to restarting a failed engine.
There have been four crashes or fires related to the issue, the agency said.
According to the NHTSA, two separate incidents have reported two injuries as a result of a poor engine restart.
No deaths have been reported as a result of the apparent Honda Glitch.
Honda representatives did not immediately respond to requests to post comments.
In January 2023, Honda posted service updates addressing the failure to resume issues on some vehicles and provided repair instructions.
However, the agency's defect investigation office said it continued to receive reports of AIS failures from consumers who took steps to carry out repairs.
The engineering analysis will take into account potential safety flaws and collect additional data on the effectiveness of Honda service campaigns, the agency said.
The analysis also considers vehicles from the new model year.
