January 9, 2023

Honda Motor Company, Ltd. and American Honda Motor Company, Inc. have introduced an interesting feature to some of their vehicles, intended to improve fuel efficiency. It’s called Auto-Idle Stop (AIS) and it is meant to stop the engine when the vehicle is stopped, for example at a red light. But the complaint for this class action alleges that it often fails to restart the engine, leaving vehicles stranded and inoperable in sometimes dangerous places.
