Starting in Sept 2023, while pulling out of a park in a garage, my car started throwing numerous warning messages in the dashboard regarding emissions, ABS, Brake System, Power Steering, etc with the Check Engine Light staying steady. I took it to one Honda dealership who after 'diagnosing' claimed it was the fuel injectors needing to be replaced. The car wasn't jerking or sputtering so I took the car to another mechanic who also didn't believe it was the fuel injectors and felt it was electrical. Took the car to another Honda dealership and they claimed the same thing about injectors. After having a reputable mechanic do software updates that the original or 2nd Honda dealership NEVER checked for (it needed 4 updates, but one of them couldn't be done for LKAS). Most of the warnings went away due to the updates but the LKAS warning and collision warning remained. So I took the car to Safelite (they had replaced my windshield back in July and back then they were able to recalibrate the sensor) BUT this time (Oct 2023) not only were they not able to recalibrate the LKAS, they said the front camera was not communicating with the system and this was an electrical problem and I have to go back to the dealership. After reading NUMEROUS complaints and similar issues in regards to the LKAS, this multiple warnings AND the car ghost braking on its own every now and then months before this, I hope you all really look into this and do a recall or find a solution on this car. Now I am forced to go back to the Honda dealership and will have to threaten them to do their job this time and really look at the car and not just tell me it is needing fuel injectors replaced. The car drives, no jerking, no sputtering, but not having a front camera talking to the system and now the TPMS system keeps saying i have low tire pressure and won't let me calibrate even though my tires are at the optimal 32 level stated in the manual, I fear more issues are going to pop up soon.
2018 Honda Accord driver assistance complaints

When going under an overpass, my cars automatic braking system senses the shadow from the bridge as something in font of me and my car slams on brakes. No incidents have occurred at this time. It has happened at least 10 times and each time no one has been behind me. If there were someone behind me they would rear end me. I explained my concern to Flow Honda in Burlington and they suggested turning the feature off each time I start my car since there was no recall.
A car merged into my lane, the car braking light went on and a beeping noise sounded. After the car in front of us turned and nothing was in front of us, our Honda Broke abruptly and if it wasn’t for the seatbelt I think I would’ve hit the windshield. My daughter is afraid to get In the car because of this incident.
For the last couple of weeks, a bunch of warnings pop up related addaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking and so on. The car ACC would stop working and car would auto brake without hitting brakes. I have checked online and see the federal safety agency has identified this issue but no action was taken. I am scared for my safety in this vehicle as well as my family. This issue needs to be fixed soon.
Random braking. Freeways or side streets. Fast or slow. Usually it seems to happen in school zones. Nobody in front of me or to the side. Problem comes with braking by itself, is that I almost get rear-ended. People are always trying to push me faster than speed limit. I surprised it hasn't happened YET. Been doing it since new. Had at dealer to lookat it few times.It just got frustrating. They can't replicate. That's the problem. It's RANDOM. Almost got rear-ended today. That is why I'm writing this today 10/16/2023. Been needing to do it for awhile.
All electrical warning lights came on dashboard. This is very frustrating and scary. This needs to be a recall on this vehicle because nothing this serious is normal. I thought my car was falling apart. Honda needs to fix this problem and the owner should not be responsible.
While I am driving down the highway, my brakes randomly engage and I get an error message that says collision, mitigation breaking system error please see dealer.
Every warning light is turned on my vehicle. Dealer said it’s the fuel injectors however riverside is out of stock. Due to fuel injectors my line assist, emergency collision and cruise control does not work. Parts are not available on any auto zone or any other car part dealers. I’m worried my car might start a fire or some type of mechanical failure during my driving. Online shows multiple people having the same issue and recommends not buying a Honda. Please help, thank you
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to park the vehicle on the side of the highway; additionally, the hazard lights failed to work. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact of a faulty START/STOP switch. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle sporadically applied the brakes independently. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and the hazard lights failed to function. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the START/STOP switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,336.
Automobile automatically, abruptly and forcefully applied the brake during normal driving. No apparent obstacle appeared that should have caused this behavior. However, the time this occurred was late in the day and long shadows of trees and shrubs were crossing the road at the time. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Driver was driving 40 mph on a suburban road with other drivers behind and to the side of the vehicle. Safety was put at risk as other drivers had to react abruptly to avoid a collision with and in reaction to the subject vehicle's stopping without apparent reason. Problem has occurred more than one time, including today being the most recent incident. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. Only message displayed with BRAKE in large flashing letters (black and yellow characters/background) while the car was braking automatically. Braking lasted approximately 1 to 1.5 seconds and brakes were released before vehicle came to a full stop.
"Supplemental restraint system failure" warning is intermittently illuminated in the dashboard. It comes on when the car is in drive, moving down the road, and when the car is in park. Warning goes on and off randomly. Dealership couldn't tell me what the problem was. Just suggested I replace the (very expensive) module to see if that works. On 4 different occasions the emergency brake system has gone off and the car has slammed on it's breaks while driving 50-55mph down the road with no object/ vehicle in front of it. Thankfully no one has been behind me when this has happened because I would definitely have been rear-ended if they were.
Car randomly brakes while driving
The vehicle keeps stating the brake mitigation, acc, and other various Honda sensor features need to be repaired and to contact a dealer. The vehicle de-accelerates on its home and doesn’t allow any of the Honda sense features to work. All the components of the dash are triggered at once. Most of the time the vehicle drives fine without the use of the Honda sense features. I have brought this to Honda and they state they don’t see any issues known to cause this problem. Short of the fact they never seem to happen when I bring it to the dealership. Most of the time this goes away on its own but lately the problems are lasting days. I don’t feel safe driving my own vehicle which has been greatly maintained.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), TPMS, anti-theft system, braking system, and traction control warning lights illuminated, and the messages "Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem. See Sealer", "Road Departure Mitigation. See Dealer" were displayed. The contact stated that the adaptive cruise control (ACC) mode, the Econ mode, and Sport mode were inoperable. The contact stated that she turned off and restarted the vehicle, and attempted to reset the vehicle herself; however, the failure persisted. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 88,697.
While driving at 35-40 mph the AEB braking system activated without cause. There was no vehicle, person or object in front of the car so the sensor should not have activated. The car braked without warning very abruptly. This has happened several times and I have reported to this site at least two other occasions in similar nature.
while driving in highway, all dash light slit up like a Christmas Tree and vehicle lost power. I was not able to go over 30 mph and was in danger of being rear ended on freeway. I was able to pull over to safety and turn vehicle off. Upon restarting the vehicle, I was able to make it back home. This has happened on 3-4 diff occasions. Honda is not accepting responsibility. They continuously refer me to Honda dealer to be ripped off for a diagnostic. There are several forums online complaining about the same issue. My battery and alternator is good. Please help and hold Honda accountable to their negligence in the build of these vehicles.
3 Incidents of auto braking without a car being in front of me. My vehicle abruptly applied the brakes from underneath my foot so hard, that myself and passengers jerked forward. This almost caused the vehicle behind me to run into me. I now drive with extreme caution wondering when will it happen again. It's not safe for anyone to be in my vehicle especially young children in car seats such as my nephew and granddaughter.
Back up camera not working
I was traveling on interstate 65 in alabama running about 70 mph when suddenly the brakes slammed on automatically. The car behind me had to swerve over in the next lane to keep from hitting me from behind. this is the 3rd time this has happened but this last time almost caused a wreck. i AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW. The dealer kept the car for 2 days but could not reproduce this . the dash board started flashing brake. All 3 times there was no car in front or beside me.
On about 7-10 occasions since purchasing car new, the automatic braking system will engage brakes for no reason. These have all been in cuise control mode and with no cars in front of me. It is a very hard braking and a many of the times on interstates going 70 MPH. Have no idea why it does this, but definitely feel it is unsafe and makes me wary of this situation happening in the future (as I'm sure it will).
1. The Collision Mitigation Breaking System is braking for no reason, at random times while driving 2. My safety and the safety of others is put at risk because when driving on an open road, cars behind me may not have time to break and this could result in an accident. Not to mention, there's nothing in front of my vehicle, so normal things on the road don't cause drivers to assume a car with suddenly brake 3. Yes, the issues been confirmed but I'm expected to pay for it when this has been recalled on several other models 4. This has been happening for the last several months. I put a note in my car to turn off the sensor but as of today, my vehicle will not let me turn off the sensor anymore

When I am driving, the car turns off in the middle of the road and this warning message appears: Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem See Your Dealer. I took it to the dealer. They changed the battery, but the problem still occurs. This is dangerous because the car cut off in the middle of the road where you can get rear ended.
