Car has 4800 miles. I've owned since new (5 months). No issues prior to this. Stopped a stoplight. The gas engine stopped running, which is typical for a hybrid when not moving. After 15 seconds, every warning/error message started cycling on the driver's dashboard screen, referencing "brake system malfunction" among many other failures. Pressing the gas pedal and there was no forward movement. Brakes still worked. Put in park. Pressed "start" to shut down car. It didn't fully shut down (dash still lit up). Pressed start again, still many errors but car would move. Drove immediately home. After 2 hours, pressed start again and no errors. After 2 days of no driving, got appointment with local honda dealer service. Drove it carefully and had no issues. After two additional days of evaluation, honda says it's the ignition control module (part# 5k80030ba06). They had to keep the car longer to allow regional honda rep to inspect and document the car's issue, as they said this issue is becoming a trend. Lastly, they told me it could take 6 months to get the part, due to a "national backorder" but offered no options/alternatives. Said car is unsafe to drive. This is unacceptable and i hope is investigated. This is a very dangerous issue. Had i been driving, it could have been far worse result. Attached is a photo of 1 of the many error messages that rotated on the dashboard.
