Multiple times in the state of Oklahoma, driving from Oklahoma to Maryland, and in Maryland Washington DC area, the automatic brakes apply at highway speeds on the interstate whenever there is a shadow in the road. It is extremely frightening. I am having the fuel pump recall Repaired at the Honda dealership today. I told the Honda dealership about this problem and they said they were unaware of it. They said they would reset the calibration on the anti-breaking system. However, upon research, it looks like you are investigating this problem. Please add my car to the list of cars affected. I do not know the exact dates that this happened but it has been. I would say at least 20 to 30 times since 2020 when I bought the vehicle.

Driving on the interstate about two years ago when for no apparent reason the car suddenly braked hard. There was little traffic at the time. I assumed it was the automatic braking feature due to the display on the instrument panel. The brakes let off as suddenly as they had started. Luckily no other cars were nearby so there was little chance of being rear ended. There were no injuries or accidents as a result of this braking incident. Scared me half to death though! This has only happened the one time. The car is available for inspection as needed. I have never mentioned this to Honda as it only occurred once. There was no warning except for the simultaneous orange emergency collision warning on the instrument panel.

When I slow down my hybrid 2018 honda accord using the regenerative braking pedals I realized the car slows down enough that the following needs to be warned by brake lights coming on. The current design of the car the brake lights don't come on with regenerative braking and this can cause rear end collision.

I was turning right into the parking space for my car at my home with my foot resting on the brake pedal and going at a very slow speed. Then suddenly the car accelerated on its own. I had to step hard on the brake, which made it veer to the right. I was able to make the car stop just short of hitting our other car. This happened once before about a month ago when I was driving in my driveway, again at a very slow speed, this time going straight, when the car accelerated for no reason. Again, I was able to stop the car by slamming on the brakes.

Parking at nursery shop, car went out of control speeding and running over the concrete stoper and nursery fence. It was a sudden acceleration and vehicle could not be stopped. The car was moving in slow motion to park and had a sudden acceleration that caused the accident. Very scary. Tried to stop pressing the brakes but the car would not respond. No injuries but it could happen to anyone anywhere.

Our car's brake lights failed at night in orland park, il, luckily another driver alerted us that they were unlit and not operating during braking. We also noticed the collision avoidance system had failed, called our dealer & brought the car in for repair the next morning (jan. 14, 2019); we received a loaner since this was a major safety issue (it took two days for parts to be available). Honda told us the brake lights failed due to a defective radar sensor. I have contacted honda several times to urge them to fix this bug, as brake lights should always work and not be controlled by software. Honda has refused to acknowledge that this safety defect needs an immediate fix, so I am documenting it so the us dot can pressure them to fix it as rapidly as possible.

I purchased a new 2018 honda accord hybrid on june 30, 2018 from honda of kirkland for my daughter. On monday, february 25, 2019, when she was driving back from class on a road at 35 MPH, the collision mitigation system brake warning flashed then braked immediately, stopping the car in traffic. No obstacles or cars were in front of her. Fortunately, the cars behind her were far enough away that they were able to stop. In addition, she tried to get out of the way of traffic by pressing the accelerator, but the car would not respond for several moments after the automatic braking occurred. She also told me that the brake warning had been coming on often when nothing was in front of her. In addition, the lane departure feature has been malfunctioning, trying to pull her to the left lane into oncoming traffic when driving on curving roads. The car is currently at the honda dealership, but the only thing they found was "a little dirt" on one of the sensors, stating that there was nothing wrong with the honda sensing system. I have found class action lawsuits filed against honda for faulty collision mitigation systems on at least two of their models (accord & crv). In addition, I have found pages of results for these problems with honda and acura (honda corporation) when simply typing in "collision mitigation system problems".

On my way back to home in san diego ca in late jan 2019 the panel started showing warning signs like brake system light on, adaptive cruise control/road departure mitigation/lane keeping assist system (lkas) lights are all on saying failure. This was the second time for my around 2000 miles accord hybrid. The first time it was able to resolve by re-power on the car but second time it was completely failed. Then I went back to dealer the other day and it turned out the multipurpose camera did not work properly under rain and low temperature (it was just typical san diego winter) so they replaced one. It is extremely dangerous since I have seen people reported the same issue everywhere. After the replacement the auto-highbeam started working as well, before I didnt even know it was not working. Same warning sign like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_nfu2hpngc
