The risk of an accident from the vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running?? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- refer to attached 2012_djc-h90-honda_printout. Pdf - after the engine has been warmed after approximately 10-15 miles of driving, there is a valve that is potentially sticking [not disengaging] causing the vehicle to start off by itself when engine is running [while in gear]. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- multiple (15+) instances of the same event. Over the last approximate 6 - 10 months my journey has had the following issue arise: drive from my home in seaside, ca en route to any destination in salinas, ca [traveled the same route each time] i will arrive at a red light at the intersection [36. 667084,-121. 684921] of blanco rd & davis rd where my journey (stationary) rpm's will fluctuate dramatically and 99% of the time the engine will stall. At least 7-10 of these incidents have also resulted in the journey engine bucking & lunging forward prior to stalling. The engine will immediate restart, however it will 95% of the time re-stall. In order to mitigate/prevent the engine from stalling/re-stalling the gear shift must either be placed in neutral or place into 1st gear and absolutely confirm your foot is firmly on the brake, in case it should lunge or buck forward. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- complaint evidence/supporting documentation has been attached.
