The auto idle stop is causing the van to not start up after stopping at red light or stop sign and it causes the van to completely go dead in middle of the road. You have to turn the van completely off, while people behind you are honking their horns at you, and then crank the van back up in order to get it to go again. All dash lights are on but the engine dies and will not start without having to shut the van off. This is very dangerous and frustrating for any vehicle to do this, but especially a 2025!!!! This happened today 10/12/2026 but has happened several times already with my family.
