I was driving home in the rain on the interstate when my car suddenly braked on its own. Luckily, no one was immediately around me at the time because the sudden braking resulted in my car sliding into the lane to the right of me, towards the cars in the next lane over. It spun to where I was facing the oncoming traffic and sliding toward the dividing wall with the passenger side to the wall. I missed the wall, but the car did a complete circle and came to a stop straddling the fast lane and facing the wall. I was able to pull the car off to the shoulder next to the wall. I did not hit anybody or anything. When I calmed down, I took the car straight to dealer to have the brakes checked. They kept the car overnight. That night I went online and found others had reported similar incidents of the Automatic Emergency Braking System engaging unnecessarily on its own and realized that was what had happened to me. I also had a previous incident where system braked harder than necessary. The next day the service techs had found nothing wrong with the brakes. When I told the service manager about the AEBS problems I had read about, I told him I wanted it disconnected. He told me they could not do that and until Honda came up with a fix for the problem, they couldn't do anything. I looked online again and discovered Honda had replied to questions about the AEBS engaging when it should not and said they had addressed the problem in the owner's manual. I found an online manual and found that I can turn the Collision Mitigation Braking System off. It resets automatically so I have to turn it off each time I start the car. I have not driven the car any distance yet since I have not returned to work yet but plan on turning it off and see if it really does turn it off and corrects the problem. Currently, I have no confidence in the car and am afraid of it happening again.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking activated inadvertently and without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to a Honda dealer where they informed her that her gear shifter may have caused an electrical short. As the failure persisted, the vehicle was brought back to the dealer where they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was referred to the local dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.
The contact owns a 2018 honda accord. The contact was driving at 55-65 MPH, when the collision mitigation braking system warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle loss cruise control, emergency braking system and the side blind spot alerts failed. The failure occurred on three separate occasions. The vehicle taken to the dealer and diagnosed with a software failure. The software was updated however, the failure recurred. The dealer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an upcoming appointment for diagnostic but informed the contact that the manufacturer was not responding to assist. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case but had not contacted the contact since. The failure mileage was 15,000. The consumer stated dealer tried to assist by adding a software update to the vehicle.
On occasion, while at hwy speeds with no cars in front of me my car will suddenly start braking. This worries me that people following to closely might not be expecting my car to brake as their us no immediate traffic in front. Also, the lane assist frequently fights me when I am within my lane. It appears that concrete scratches or marks in the road sometimes confuse it.
Honda accord 2014 - beginning in february/march 2021 driving on a major thruway early morning, my car kept veering from the lane. Warning light "steering required" kept coming on. I could feel the car shaking. This occurred numerous times over the 6 hour trip. Very frightening trying to keep control of the car, trying to keep it from veering out of the lane, while the car is shaking. The "steering required/lane departure" warnings terrified me. This occurred again on another morning on an interstate highway. Car kept veering. Warning signs coming on. Car shaking.
Was driving straight on I-10 in arizona on carpool lane when suddenly some warning lights came on dashboard car made me veer to the right making me spin out of control causing a crash and hitting the fence.
When vehicle is on, safety features like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot indicators, traction control, door locking, hands free phone call answering and hanging up buttons on steering wheel are all not working. My information sceen is locked and cannot be changed.
The fuel pumps, made by supplier denso, were "exposed to production solvent drying for longer periods of time" during manufacturing, according to the federal safety agency recall report, which could cause surface cracking and excessive fuel absorption and eventually cause the impeller to become deformed and fail. The fuel pumps on vehicles produced outside limited dates given on the report do not have the problem. This recall did not include the 2018 honda accord models even though they are having the exact same issues. My car is stalling the emissions warning light is on along with the adaptive cruise control, lane departure, and the collision mitigation. I feel this should be included in the recall the put in place last year being that is is the same issues. My vehicle would stall in a parking spot at my home when I'm first starting it. It would flash a warning like a car is in front of me randomly when nothing is there. I haven't got into a wreak but I free that I may be in one if this issue isn't fixed and being that this was an issue with previous models I shouldn't have to come out of pocket. I brought this car brand new off the lot. There is no reason why I should be changing the fuel injector 3 years later.
Collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer. This has showed up 3 times on my car so far, 2 times in 6 days. Driving in good weather, clean highways, checked radar for debris and have not found any each time. Dealer says no code, nothing wrong! Why is it telling me to "see dealer" ???? If nothing is wrong. All the safety, cruise and braking safety features were shut off, could not use cruise alone after. Happened once in 2020 and march 20&26 of 2021. Dealer keeps telling me nothing is wrong!
Burning excessive gas. Every 2 days I have been filling my tank. Filled tank to half tank of gas and within less than 24 hours I am on empty. Forward collision goes off unexpectedly without anything in front of vehicle. There is a constant gas smell in the car while driving. My garage also has been stink with gas smell since the last 3 weeks consistently.
I2 weeks ago I had my car's computer system updated as per the recall notice. Everything was fine then 2 days ago I noticed on the heads up display "cruise) which had never been there before. I set the speed at 65 on the freeway and it held the speed fine, however, as I approached another vehicle from behind it did not slow down to match the speed of the other car. I had to brake to avoid hitting it. I tried using the interval button to set the distance from the other vehicle but it did not work. I took the car to the dealer this morning 3/23/2021 and after 90 minutes they called me out to let me know what happened. Apparently, if you hold the interval button down for 2-5 seconds it disengages the adaptive cruise control and the car is reverted to an older system that does not sense the spacing while on cruise control. I explained to them that I never had touched the interval button prior to the car reverting to this older system and it went to it by itself. If I remember correctly it went to this system while in motion by itself and only since I had the updated system installed due to the recall. If I hadn't been paying attention I would have rear ended the car in frontof me.
Automatic sensor braking comes on while driving, there are no other cars around or object. While driving the brakes come on and the warning light on the dashboard, there are no cars in front of me or to the side. The car jerks as the brakes are automatically applied, while my foot is on the gas pedal. Then the brake is released, the whole event takes seconds. In fact it has happened when there has been no cars in sight. It has happened mostly on local roads going 45-50 miles, but has occured on a highway going around 65 MPH. Purchased car in 2018, starting happening in 2019 and continues untill today. When I told honda service, they said maybe the sensor for the braking system was dirty. I am concerned an accident will happen, if the brakes go on and there is no car in front but a car in back, its unsafe.
I was coming to a stop sign signal left and I was pressing the brake lightly to come to complete stop and the was a car turn into my street the opposite lane though and he turned my car slam stop unexpectedly causing my passi g to jerk and I hard strain our necks! Whip lash over nothing so dangerous! Also one time entering the highway I slow or was coming to a stop for nothing! Swnsor is off!
Problems with the front windows having issues with winding up or down and even moving out of chanel. Problems with the accs,lks due to malfunctioning camera which I had to replace however the dealer in jamaica will not reprogramme
Car intermittently flashes all the cmbs lights and applies break on its own without any vehicle in front of the car. Honda dealership charged to diagnose a replace break switch. Problem still persist. Countless others are having same issue and reporting online forums and youtube. I almost got rearended multiple times due to this. Also when these lights come acive, drl sometimes do not work and reverse camera do not work. First happened june 2020(after issue, it allows the car to start without pressing break pedal), continues to happen often. Disconnecting the battery and reconnecting removes the issue for sometime then comes back few days to weeks/months later.
Driving on I-65 at 70mph (my cruise was set along with acc and lkas). System worked with no issues for ~200 miles. When this happened, the car in front of me slowed down, and my car started slowing down as well. Out of the blue, as I got closer, I got this error in my dash, collision mitigation braking system problem see your dealer. It took a second for me to realize that my car was no longer slowing down. Fortunately I still had enough distance to press on my brakes before hitting the back of the car in front of me.
When starting my car, I am receiving several warning even after taking my car to the dealer. All issues were cleared but now only 4 days later, the same warnings from the safety system is showing.
It seems that my remote starter is causing errors. Occasionally when I use it during cold weather. I try to start remotely and it starts for a second and then cuts off. I get in and notice several maintenance alarms telling me to see a dealer when I start the normal way. All safety features seem to be disabled but still driveable.the only way to erase these codes is to disconnect the battery. Then I can go several times with out it happening again. I took to dealers and they found no issues, I told them to just replace the battery, even though that wasnt recommended. I thought it helped, but then the issued occurred again a week later. It is scheduled to be look at by the honda dealership.
July 2020, adaptive cruise control (acc) system de-active while I was driving at approx 65mph.received dash board message 'collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer' . Warning went away after restarting vehicle.dealership could not replicate warning. Nov 2020 acc system again failed, three times, similar circumstances, highway 65-70 MPH, restarting again cleared warning. When system fails the cruise control element turns of, and cannot be reactivated. Also, car slows down quickly, because set speed is not maintained.( potential rear end collision situation) car was purchased new in nov 2018, not problem detected until early july 2020. Problem has not been resolved as of jan 2021.
Car will apply brakes for no reason,, was driving at high speeds with nothing in front of me and brakes will apply on the highway and car would stop.
I was following my wife's car on the expressway. Her speed was 55 MPH. I had the adaptive cruise control (acc) on my vehicle set for 70 MPH, so naturally I was only 'pacing' her at her slower speed, about four car-lengths back. Suddenly, my car accelerated rapidly toward my wife's car in front of me. I had to hit the brakes to avoid a collision. At that moment, a warning appeared on the instrument panel stating that radar obstructed. But even then, I was able to recreate the same scenario four more times before turning off acc for the rest of the trip. I also noticed that while the car was surging forward, the instrument panel indicated that there was no car in front of me, even though there clearly was. It was almost as if my car 'couldn't see' and decided to accelerate anyway. The system should have failed in a safe manner, but it clearly did not.
2 issues that I am having is that when I press the brake pedal the radio goes crazy ( interference). Dealer notified and apparently can not find anything wrong so no fix for it yet. The other issue is with cmbs it failed 2wice in the past 3 days. Conditions of the road were good, ( no snow, no rain) and the traffic was not heavy. Both times the system fails to operate mid cruse and shuts off. The only way to get it to work is by restarting the car but this is not an option driving on a highway.
All lights in my dash came on, brake, engine, steering, collision, acceleration. I took it in to priority honda and was told it was cracked spark plugs and it was fixed. I paid $260. Six days later same thing. Same dealership looked at it. Said it was fix, sent me on my way, but told me they would replace spark plug cover. Same issue happened again. Now back in the shop for a 4th time. Was told I had bad fuel injectors. Cost $1700, but I would have to pay $200 deductible. Probably is my car was brand new when purchased and I'm under 5yr, 60,000 mile warranty. So why am I paying anything if it is a powertrain failure and I'm under warranty. Please help. These incidents happen as soon as I started my car, and I took it straight to the dealership when it did. The last incident was december 5, 2020. Before that was twice in november but I would have to verify exact date based on when I took it to the dealership. This is the only place I service my car, and the customer service has been subpar. I couldn't even get a complimentary rental unless I paid out of pocket.
While driving in the highway at night, the vehicle warns potential collision and tries to brake automatically. When I step on the brake and push a little, the warning goes away. This is especially dangerous because at 50 or 60 MPH the car warns and tries to brake hard. God knows when the car brakes one day really hard and causes accident for a faulty sensor. There's always nothing ahead when the emergency brake warning comes. When the warning comes, there's always absolutely nothing ahead, simply empty road ahead. This issue has been happening for over a year.
The cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) had another failure. This is due to the radar sensor being blocked and then other safety systems in the vehicle having cascading failures. Last winter, the radar sensor had failed catastrophically and I had to take the vehicle in to the dealer where they, supposedly, performed some sort of an adjustment. During a phone call with a honda representative, the representative claimed that "this would never happen again." however, what happens now is I get an error message claiming that there is a failure in the cmbs system, every time the radar sensor is blocked, directing me to "take the vehicle to the dealer." hence, she lied. Furthermore, the failures indicate honda's failure in producing a safety system that is reliable in a wide range of weather conditions. Honda ceo recently claimed that honda will be producing level 3 autonomous vehicles. That is horrifying, considering honda can't even make a cmbs and a radar sensor that does not fail constantly. Please, please, please make honda recall all the models which use the radar sensor and the cmbs that is similar to the one in the 2018 accord before someone gets really hurt. Please.
For second time all safety warning lights appeared after starting engine including brake warning light. This occurred once before and took to dealer for a reset.
When driving approximately 50 MPH on a city street using adaptive cruise control, my adaptive cruise control turned off suddenly. There are no obstructions to my honda sensors nor were there any inclement weather conditions.
Collision mitigation braking system' (cmbs'), failed. During driving all of sudden amber lights of collision mitigation braking system' (cmbs'), were turned on and disable the assistance safety technology features that help prevent collisions using vehicle sensors.
Evening before problem started it was a heavy rain in nyc. Morning I started the car and was immediately received 4 messages: "lkas: lane keeping assist system problem. See your dealer.". "road departure mitigation system problem. See your dealer.", "blind spot information system problem. See your dealer.", "auto high beam problem. Manual controls available. See your dealer.". Turn signals did not work. Hazard lights did not work. Trunk release did not work. Backup camera did not work. Moved to dealer (25 minutes away). But did not start the service. After turning off and start the car again all displayed failures were gone. Waiting for the next heavy rain.
