Cars on/off push button doesn't always turn on with key fob! Turns on then shuts off sometimes! Key indicator light on dash turned on! Notified dealership. Ohio Valley Honda brought it down to shop. They give me run around even though there is a bulletin out. It might stop as I'm driving.

The start/stop button stops working. Left me stranded away from home. Battery in key fob was replaced and car battery is new. The button has to be pressed multiple times to start the car. The button has stopped turning off the car as well. Multiple attempts to press the button to turn off the car are needed as well.

As I try to start car using push button starter, roof lights, dash lights, and touch screen starts flashing and beeping. This has happened twice and this time it was 2 weeks after a service where everything was checked.

When pressing the push start/stop ignition switch in my car , the car will not start nor stop the engine. Repeated pressing on the switch and the brake is required for the vehicle to start and stop.the faulty ignition switch sign has been coming on and off on my dashboard for the past 5-6 months. I have changed the car battery and the battery in my key fob in the last month hoping that this would solve the problem. It was diagnosed by the honda dealer on 09/12/20 that the problem lies with the push button ignition switch. Due to the tremendous demand for this switch this part is on back order, which points to the fact this is a manufacturing defect.

2016 honda hrv - intermittent problem with the car not starting (push button start); key icon remains illuminated. We took it to a dealer who said it must be the battery in the key fob (replaced repeatedly with problem recurring) until finally at 49,000 miles they said it was showing code b12c5 start/stop switch has failed. Diagnosis $144 and replacement $302 total $446. It took 10 days from diagnosis to completed repair because they had to order the part. This was big dealership/service dept. Seems they waited till car was out of warranty and then took their sweet time getting the part while I was wringing my hands wondering if the car would start whenever I went somewhere. Not only annoying but very unsafe! Please recall this part -it appears to be a common problem with hondas.
