    I recently came upon an article about 2014 honda's that would over heat and you would lose power causing the vehicle to stall. This happened to my vehicle about a week ago i was driving on the highway at low speed in traffic and my vehicle began to stall before it stalled out i pressed the gas and it returned to normal rpm. It happened again one more time about two minutes later and hasn't happened since.

    The vehicle does not always start when you pressed the start button and only clicks. This can be dangerous if the car stalls in a busy intersection or rail road crossing and the vehicle cannot be started. To start the vehicle (keyless w/fob), you have to press the brake and press the start button. It appears that the brake pedal pressure and the starting of the car may be part of the issue as we have noticed that…
