Page 8 of 15: complaints 191 to 220 of 403, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance braking system erroneously activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop in the middle of the road. During the failure, there were no other vehicles or objects nearby. The contact stated that the failure recurred on several occasions. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.
My car 40,000 miles and all waring lights are coming on the dash such check engine,lane acc,steering,brake ,parking , took to Honda dealer they say nothing was wrong now there saying it the fuel inject and it will be 1,250 to fix i been look it up and see there's a lot of other ppl with the same problem but no recall for the 2018 Honda Accord sport
I was driving on a road with no other cars around at about 40 miles an hour and the collision mitigation system flashed the brake signal a few times and tried to stop very suddenly. I pushed on the gas to fight it and it released the brake.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle independently made a sudden stop. The brake warning light illuminated along with other unknown warning lights. The contact was able to pull over on the side of the road safely and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was contacted and stated that the Manufacturer was aware of the failure, but that there was no recall for the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 70,000.
the vehicle has faults on the dashboard, all the warning lights come on and there are functions that do not work when they are on.
On April 7 at 1230p I was driving about 45 mph on Lindbergh Blvd in Creve Coeur. As I was moving into a construction area there was a sign to lower speed to 35. I lowered my speed with my brakes and at the same time traveled over a metal plate on the road. After I let up on the brakes there was an immediate very jarring breakage done without my foot on brake as I went over the plating. The abrupt braking was so severe that all of the belongs on both front passenger and back seats all fell to the floor. There is no doubt in my mind that if there was a car behind me they would ran right into me. After going over the plating the braking system was released and my regular driving ability resumed. I would be afraid to try to reproduce this problem. Since owning the car I have had about 5 less severe problems with this automatic braking system on this same road with the system sensing something that was not there (I thought it was a policeman's radar) with a very very short and less severe automatic braking. I did not not notice any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem .
I down loaded my update through the radio. It said complete. I went into the house and the next morning I started it and a bunch of warning lights were on and have stayed on. I can not use some of the buttons on the drivers door, I can not use my key fob unless it is touching the start stop button, I can not open the trunk, the gas cap will not open, and most of all I have lost some power to the interior fuse box. This car is only 5 years old almost to the date and it has had multiple recalls already. I want the BCM reprogrammed and fixed so all this will go away.
I've filed the specific issues in other complaints, but also wanted to input this for a record. After taking the card to the dealer, the dealer DID NOT address any of the following: Right door speaker rattle Engine squeak (when shutting off) Hood vibration Did not troubleshoot the smell coming from the ventilation system. Did not apply the fix (if there was one) for the infotainment unit restarting abruptly. Did not look at as to why the display shows 100mph speed limit when there is no such thing in the the state of Colorado (that I know of and certainly not where I was driving when this happened). Did not look at why the aux display has issues Did not look at Bluetooth connectivity issues. Did not look at problems with radar and the CMBS system. Of course, the usual response is "we drove it for an hour (if that) and did not see anything."
The CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) had another failure. In this case, there was "phantom braking", whereby the car abruptly applied breaks without an abstruction in fron of the vehicle. I have filed several complaints with the federal safety agency and, yes, "have taken the vehicle to the dealer" more than once for issues with the CMBS, to no avail. Not only that, but since then, there has been a class action lawsuit against Honda for the related issue(s). Yet, the federal safety agency still has not issued a recall on all the CRVs, Accords, Pilots and Odysseys which all use similar version of this system.
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. In the winter of 2019, 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. 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.

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.

The vehicle's safety system (not sure if it's the camera mounted behind the windshield or something else) will periodically interpret a road speed sign as showing 100mph speed limit. This has happened before and will have happened again (I am filing this complaint after some time has passed). As with a number of other issue with the 2018+ Honda models, Honda's response has been "take it to the dealer" while the dealer's mechanic drives the car for an hour, does not see the issue and then claims that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. A picture is attached.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle abruptly stopped with unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. The contact stated that at the time of the incident, the automatic braking system engaged by itself most likely due to the fact that a car was really close to the vehicle and possibly sensed danger.
I have had a few instances where I was driving and the brake warning light started flashing and the car broke. This latest incident was today and it was extremely dangerous and scary. I was driving and no one was driving in front of me the car warning brake light flashed and the car came to a complete stop, the car behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me from behind and I wasn’t even able to press on the gas to move until after a few seconds!!
I was using the cruise control feature while driving and it gave multiple errors. It happens each time I use the cruise control feature and assisted driving feature. The errors it gives are: 1. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem. See Your Dealer. 2.Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem. See Your Dealer. 3. Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem. See Your Dealer. I have also been driving and it breaks by itself and there is nothing in from of the vehicle. It was an orange flat plate on the road for construction. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer but they say it’s all normal.
While I was driving down Highway 101 near Mountain View near the Shoreline off-ramp, the vehicle's CBMS activated at highway speed even though there was no car in front of me. The weather was cloudy but visibility was good. The vehicle displayed "BRAKE" together with a warning sound, and the car suddenly decelerated. Luckily there was no car behind me, since the sudden braking could have easily caused an accident. I can confirm that this is repeatable -- on three occasions, the CBMS engaged at the exact same place where there was some surface imperfection in the road (due to recent asphalt patching). I had to step on the accelerator immediately to ensure the car behind me didn't rear end my car. I've read reports about the Honda Accord 2018 having this potential defect and wanted to make sure this report is filed, especially because it is repeatable. For now I've had to disable the vehicle CBMS to prevent an accident from occurring.
The car out of no where breaks while driving and thinks it’s been involved in a collision.
ALL dashboard warning lights come on.(brakes, VSC, steering, etc) Message says take to dealer. After doing a Google search, it appears to be a COMMON ISSUE for Honda Accords for 2018 and newer. They will come on and either stay on for days/weeks at a time and then just go off on their own. Dealer has no solution.
ALL dashboard warning lights come on and after doing a Google search, it appears to be a COMMON ISSUE for Honda Accords for 2018 and newer. They will come on and either stay on for days/weeks at a time and then just go off on their own. Every time I schedule to have it serviced and run a diagnostic test, by the time I get to the service center, the lights have gone off and they are unable to run a diagnostic without the warning lights being on. Only was able to get a diagnostic once as Honda doesn't run diagnostics on weekends and I work during the week. The warnings that show up in my HondaLink are: *Engine System Problem *Electric Power Steering Problem *CMBS Problem *Adaptive Cruise Control Problem *CMBS Problem My car is regularly service at the Honda dealership and currently has less than 48,000 miles. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON RANDOMLY How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? IT SAYS VEHICLE MAY ROLL UPON BRAKE RELEASE, COLLICION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM - REDUCED TRACTION AND HANDLING, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND ALL SAY "SEE YOUR DEALER" Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? YES, BUT THEY HAD NO REAL SOLUTION (Not the location where I purchased my vehicle - only offered to do what wasn't covered under my warranty so that the "tech can get paid" (NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO TO STONECREST HONDA IN LITHONIA, GA) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? INSPECTED/DIAGNOSTIC RAN AT AUTOZONE Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO WARNINGS - JUST ALL LIGHTS COME ON
Engine misfire causing limp mode. Dealer says head gasket blown. When misfire happens, all driver safety system warnings display. Car goes into limp mode which is dangerous if on high speed road. First appeared Oct-10-2022 with 59k miles on vehicle. Second appeared Nov-29-2022 with 60,300 miles on vehicle. Honda refuses to cover expense of replaceing head gasket and determining root cause.
All of my safety features in my car when it comes to driving down the road have completely failed. Adaptive cruise control lane assist brake system errors. The car just stops in the middle of the road. And it will pull the car the car to the left or right thinking that there’s something in the road and there’s not it’s very dangerous.
While driving in stop and go traffic on the highway with the adaptive cruse control system enabled the system will suddenly stop working. A message appears on the dashboard information panel "Braking Mitigation System Error/Failure: Bring to Dealer". This has occurred twice in 2022, and once or twice in 2021. When the car is turned off, then restarted, the system appears to reset itself. I brought the car to the dealership, they ran a "Diagnostic" and told me they detected software errors and needed to do a "Flash" reset, and that it was not covered under warranty. I contacted the Honda Corporation and provided my service records, and details of the incident. They were lacking in enthusiasm to investigate the issue, as they were more interested in informing me that the vehicle was over the 36,000 mile warranty period. There was no collision, but that does mean there won't be in the if there is a software malfunction with the Braking Mitigation System. I feel the Honda Corporation is not taking this safety issue seriously.
Well I've had the car for about a year now and it has been good for the first few months, then I ran into a snag. All the orange warning lights for my safety features popped up and the vehicle was applying the brakes on its own. So I took it to the dealership and they told me it was a taillight, so I spent 500 bucks on one. Well after a month it's started to do it again this time worse, and it got so bad. I've had to pull over to the side of the road and restart the car because it kept braking while on the highway. Fast forward months down today and it's still doing it except much much worse. I tried to trade it in because I don't feel safe with vehicle anymore. But where I owe so much on it they won't let me get something else, so I'm stuck with it. I've made an appointment to see if they could check it out but at this point I just want it paid off and I want something else.
One day all the car warning lights came on. After I backed out of the driveway, I placed the car in drive and tried to accelerate. When I stepped on the gas pedal the car barely accelerated. It barely moved. I turned of the engine and turned it back on again and the car was ok again, but this keeps happening from time to time. I've had the car checked a few times, but mechanics weren't sure what's wrong with the car. They keep getting a misfire code on number one, but after checking the spark plugs they said nothing is wrong with the spark plugs.
While driving at highway speeds the automatic emergency braking will trigger. First the flashing of the dash and then the audible beeping and then the car brakes very hard and then releases without anyone ahead of me.
While driving, on three accounts my honds accord independently applied brakes while my foot was on gas petal. The car slowed jerked and stopped. It regained speed after I pulled off the road. There were no cars in front or back or in back of the car.no warning light went on. Our and others safty was at risk when the car suddenly stopped with no input from driver. This is a serious situation. The car was inspected twice by westbrook honda where it was bouhgt new. They installed new brakes on the car with 20 thousand miles driven saying this was normal. No solution has been suggested other than there were leaves in the way of the camera. They drove the car with no issue and told me they never heard of such a problem .
