 Description of the problemI am concerned that a safety issue exists on the 2016 honda hrv ex-l navi that i recently purchased. The issue is associated with the power on/off button that is standard on the ex models. Specifically if you activate the power off button while the vehicle is in drive the vehicle does not actually shut down and will drift forward or backward. It is very possible that you could exit the vehicle and it would start drift until it either hit something or human intervention could be taken. In addition to the honda hrv, i have a 2010 toyota prius. When you activate the power off button while the prius is in drive, the system automatically transfers the vehicle to park and completely eliminates the possibility of the vehicle accidentally drifting forward or backward. It should be noted the 2016 hrv ex does attempt to provide a warning that something is wrong. When you attempt to use the power off button to shut down the vehicle while the car is in the drive position the following occurs: - the car sounds like it is shutting down and the dash instruments go blank. - if the door is opened, several beeps are sounded. - in the trip indicator display on the dash, a "power is on" message is presented and immediately followed by a "shift to park" message. These messages are continually repeated. - the car will start to drift until human intervention, it stops on its own or it hits something. This issue has been reported to honda and my interpretation or their response is as follows: - you should always put the car in park before activating the power off button. - they felt their design was adequate at this time and did not view this as a safety issue. - issue will be documented for possible future reference. In summary, i still feel this is a safety issue that could result in a tragic accident. Fyi, except for this issue, i really like the hrv.
