While driving the vehicle will just suddenly stop on its own there will be nothing in front of the vehicle. This has started to become a serious problem it first start happing last year but now is happening more often. When taking to the shop they find nothing wrong with the vehicle. No warning lamps or messages. I have not had any other problems with the vehicle.
2019 Honda Accord brakes complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 91, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle will brake suddenly even if nothing in front. it has done this several times on the highway and feel this could be an accident hazard as it could brake suddenly and cause someone to rear collide the vehicle.
The automatic break system activated for a fraction of a second several times, the breaking system alerted in the dashboard. The vehicle has not been addressed. It cause a scary reaction of driver.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Emergency Automatic Braking suddenly activated, causing the vehicle to abruptly stop in the middle of the road. During the failure, the brake light was displayed. The contact indicated that no other vehicle or object was present nearby to cause the Forward Collision-Avoidance system to be activated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
I regularly had issues with the automatic braking system. On 11/2/2020 I was driving on the highway and the braking system automatically engaged, causing me to swerve and hit a semi-truck. This resulted in a total loss to the vehicle and ongoing back pain.
Brake light warning comes and with nothing in front or near me and on occasion it engages the brakes. Also the lane keep assist also goes off when I’m in the middle of a lane and going straight. I have had various electrical problems like this since week one of getting the car, and the dealer or Honda can never explain any of this
Several times for no reason the AEP (Automatic Emergency Braking) light on my 2019 Honda Accord came on and the car started to stop. These events occurred in January-February 2022.
For more than the past two years I have been experiencing unexpected braking while driving my 19 Accord. There have been probably 20-30 random incidents....generally when I am changing lanes..I think? The braking lasts for 2-3 seconds and then all returns to normal. This has happened when other cars are near and when there is no other car ahead or behind. On at least a couple occasions I received a nasty horn from the car behind me due to my unexpected braking and more than once an uncomplimentary comment from my wife about my driving skill. Several times I feared being rear ended. I explained this braking action as my failure to use the turn signal when changing lanes. Upon reconsidering and after reading the recent the federal safety agency alert, this is a sensor/software problem in the ESC/Emergency Braking system. Please give this issue your prompt attention. I am the retired engineering manager of the braking system subsidiary of HONDA MOTORS.
At approximately 16:08 EST on Jan 1, 2022 I was traveling westbound on I-76 at mile marker 146.9 WB (40°02'03.0"N 78°29'50.0"W) in the center lane on a straight section of road at approximately 70mph. Car mileage was 21264 at the time of the crash. The weather at the time of the crash was light rain and with temperature approximately 50F. The car suddenly and for no apparent reason began skidding / fishtailing. I tried steering to regain control of the vehicle and applying the brakes to slow down, but the car continued fishtailing. I did not feel the anti lock brakes engage at any point during the skid. I went into the left lane, and struck the center concrete barrier, causing the airbags to deploy and the car to come to rest in the left lane. 3 symptoms appeared the day of the crash which had never happened before: 1) Several hours before the crash, the vehicle began handling strangely. It felt like there was either steering or brake input from the land keeping assist / adaptive cruise control / traction control systems which was "fighting" me and causing the vehicle to swerve slightly. These handling anomalies occurred randomly about 10 times immediately before the crash. 2) About 2 hours before the crash, the check engine light began flashing and there was a loss of engine power. I pulled over and restarted the car, which seemed to resolve the check engine light / power loss. 3) At one point the adaptive cruise control turned itself off and gave a message about traction conditions. To my knowledge the problem has not been confirmed or reproduced, and the vehicle has not yet been inspected by Honda, my insurer, or anyone else. As of Jan 6, the vehicle is currently in a yard near Altoona PA awaiting assessment, and is available for inspection upon request. I informed Honda about the crash on Jan 6, 2022. They gave me a case number and said to work through my insurer on next steps. Honda service bulletin 21-052 may be relevant to this incident.
Collision mitigation braking system is braking my car at least 4xs when there is nothing on the road in front of me . Luckily there wasn't a car behind me. I was driving each time about 40 miles/he. Took my car to Davis Honda in Burlington County on Aug.6 2021 and they stated to me there was a piece of debri in the multi purpose camera which was cleaned out by them. Otherwise nothing came up in computer check. I believe there is a class action suit against Honda for this problem.
Rear passenger side outside brake pad wear out much faster than the other 7 brake pads on the car. It worn out completely at 33k miles and the rotor and brake pad was metal on metal, because of this both had to be replaced.
I purchased my honda accord sport last month and had no issues 5,000 miles on it. But as I've been driving it the brakes are not operating as they should way too sensitive and is not a smooth process as it should be the slightest pressure makes it jolt forward. On idle my rpms start to lower then go up I don't believe this should be happening. I don't know if it's a vacuum leak, fuel pump or spark plugs but there is an issue.
30636 miles currently, just took my honda to dealer to get recall and they did a mpi and said my rear brakes are at 2 mm. The accord is pretty much highways driven and shouldn't need rear brakes this soon.
At 25,000 miles, took car in for routine maintenance, recall 20-039, acc malfunction, and hazard mitigation warning light on dashboard. During inspection on vehicle by technician, was found that front brakes were at 7 mms and rear brakes were at 0 mms. Rear brake pads were completely worn down and rotors were rusted and beyond any repair. Technician and service manager said this was "normal." honda corporation would not do anything about it. In talking to several outside mechanics and my knowledge of brake repair, all agree that rear brakes should not completely wear out before front brakes at 25,000 miles. The honda mechanic stated that doing the recall of reprogramming the bcm would correct problem with acc - adaptive cruise control. This re-programming did not correct the acc problem and actually made it inoperable. We have follow-up appointment to look at acc problem. Dealer said if it happens again, they will have honda corp. Inspect vehicle. We have on file all routine maintenance inspections recorded in "maintenance & service handbook" and honda multi point vehicle inspection checklists. Incurred $355 expenditure to replace rear brakes and rotors which should be covered by honda along with resolution of issue.
While driving, car automatically applies brakes. Speed will slow all the way down, almost to a stop. Multiple warning lights dealing with brake system will randomly pop up, but also leave on their own just to reoccur later on. I just got this car a month ago with only 19,xxx miles.
On 02/06/2021, after entering a gated residential community, the car suddenly brakes for no reason. No other vehicles or pedestrians were on the road. Weather was overcast. Roadway was dry. Speed was approximatley 27 MPH. Neck and head injury resulted. Honda dealer could find nothing wrong after running all tests. Therefore, they said nothig was wrong with the car. I am afraid to drive this car!
My rear brakes are bad at only 27000 miles. Front brakes are good. The same happened with my 2016 accord.
On three separate occasions, I have been driving and my car has applied emergency brakes for no reason. No vehicles in my immediate area, including in front of me. On the first and main occasion, I was in the left lane traveling at about 75mph. My car flashed the emergency "brake" notification on the driver information side of the dashboard, and automatically applied brakes bringing me down to about 50-55 MPH before the warning went away, brakes were released and everything proceeded as normal. Cruise control was not on and there were no cars directly in front of me nor next to me. The sun was not rising nor setting, so I don't believe there to have been any sun glare affecting the radar. I had this issue again driving at night on back roads. I was driving about 35 miles an hour when the "brake" notification appeared and the car automatically applied brakes, despite nothing being in my line of travel. After this, I figured out how to disable the automatic braking and change it to just a warning. The third time this happened was again driving on the highway. I don't recall my speed, but no one was in front of me. My car flashed "brake" for no reason before disappearing. I do normally get the "brake" notification when I am approaching a slowed vehicle, but I don't get automatic braking with those as I am already applying brakes. In all three of these circumstances there has not been anyone in front of me to trigger the brake warning.
My rear break pads are wearing faster than the front break pads. At a 35k miles I had to get new break pads for my car. I drive a lot in the city. It is rare that I take long roads. Probably around 29k miles in the city and 6k miles on the road.
Numerous times while driving on the interstate at 65-75 MPH the vehicle has braked hard in the highway. No cars beside or in front. The last incident I was almost rear ended by a toyota tundra who barely was able to stop. I took the car to vann york honda, was told it was a recall for a bcm module (obviously untrue, that is for wipers, rear defogger, etc), but I did get the issue documented on paper. This was if something happens to me, I or my family have documentation that the car does have an issue with braking at high rate of speed for no reason. At times the brake light comes on, the last two times lane departure light has come on and I have been centered up in my lane, no one in front of me or as I stated beside me. The car is a danger to the driver, any potential passengers and the vehicle following. Honda seems not to be concerned as I have read online in many places that this began with 2018 models and affects not just the accord, but the civic as well. My 75 year old mother has a 2019 civic that is doing the same thing. I suppose if someone gets hurt and families start to sue, honda may do something. Now that I have documentation, if I get hurt, that is my plan!
Started hearing a squeak sound from the front drivers side brake area so I took it to the dealer for an inspection that I paid 65 dollars for and was told my brakes are fine both front and back so I go ahead and keep driving and the noise gets louder so I go back to dealership they still say after they say they checked that brakes are fine so I take them at there word not 4 days latter I am know getting a grinding sound from the front and rear of my car and my brake fluid is super low in my car and feels like I have no brakes at 30k miles
My car rear breaks pads gets bad to quick ever before the front ones. I have to change it in my honda with only 18,000 miles run
While driving on the highway numerous warning signal pops up, the car pulls to the left and right then suddenly reduces its speed from 60 to 35 and eventually to a full stop. The car gas pedal is stiff the car won't move, this is the 3 time it happens with 7 days. It was taken to the dealership, they stated that it's fixed. However, that far from the truth. In need of some help, apparantly the 2019 honda accord is having this issue there should be a recall before some is killed.
Two times in the first 5000 miles I have owned this car the car has on the highway beeped quickly de-accelerated and tried to pull my steering when there is no vehicle near me.
I have had the vehicle in the shop numerous times for not being able to open the gas tank to fill up the car. Seals coming off the doors. Entertainment system quit working and not responding. Now the vehicle slams on its breaks for no reason when no vehicles are around. Also the vehicle departs it's lane when it is supposed to keep me in it. Also the vehicles brakes grind when I step on them. Also the car makes a grinding noise when I step on the gas pedal and the vehicle sometimes stays in 4000 RPM when driving done the road. Also when driving down the road and going 70 MPH and I step on the breaks the whole car sometimes shakes and doesn't stop when needed. It started with issues when I got the vehicle not much later. It current only 17800 miles on it and I shouldn't be having these issues.
The rear caliper do not function properly, borne one side pads
I have tried contacting honda and going to the dealership multiple times to get this taken care of but everything is perfect they say. Just yesterday the car hit the break on it's own when the car on the other side was clearly on the other lane the car made a horrible sudden stop that caused bruising to my neck and also my passenger got hurt with everything that flung from the backseat he said the tug was too much . We thought someone had hit me . This isn't the first time the car has done this I feel I get constant tire pops because of this car veers me off into a lane that isn't even there. I have witnesses that say I have a lemon car I always say no but this last incident was too much for me . Also the charger port not USB has not worked since day one another thing they said was working again nothing . I went back and they said I had no warranties . I have called honda trying to get to the bottom of this and going to the dealer they said u signed so take care of it . At this point I am in the process of purchasing a new vehicle cash and I am not even 1% intersd in keeping this car . If I have to return voluntarily I will have to . I have been patient but it's absolutely ridiculous that I was put into this vehicle being a supposedly upgrade ? From my 2017 honda coupe v6 . This car needs a recall on lane departure , sensors , electrical it is not a car I feel safe in . I do not trust to let it drive on it's own and for good reason . What am I paying for then ? I would have crashed into a car by now if I trusted it . I have proof of the three tires I have had to get in the past theee months and I don't drive much at all 9k miles in a whole year . Pics on bottom show how the damage comes from the sides due to the car going straight then making sudden turns that hit curbs . The sensors seem to be getting worse instead of better .
When removing the electronic parking brake, to begin driving, one or more brake pads get stuck to the rotor then is violently returned to the open position. This happens in weather below 40 degrees fahrenheit, after driving, then parking for mere minutes, even when the car is still running. Many sources this is due to the master cylinder not having enough pressure to relax the caliper. This is very hazardous under low speed and I have experienced extremely weak braking when in a parking lot.
07/06/20 was involved in an accident due to the plastic gas pedal snapping off and becoming lodged behind the brake pedal preventing adequate stopping that resulted in me rear ending another vehicle. Max speed reached on the freeway before collision was 65 MPH. Trying to brake was not smooth and I had to press down extremely hard in order for the braking system to respond and still ended up colliding with the other vehicle at a higher rate of speed than there should have been when paying attention to surrounding traffic, even with a car length distance infront of me at the start of breaking. It is typical of the braking system to engage when "detecting" close proximity to another object or vehicle but, on many occasions there was no one there; however, in the case of todays accident collision mitigation was not responsive. Tire rotation performed at honda on 6/29/20 with reports that brake lines, fluids, and pads were up to par however this is most certainly not the case. There is currently a recall that has not made its way to consumers for the fuel pump in this car that took me so digging to find. Initiated 5,28,2020 but, will not go in effect until 7,22,2020. I could have lost my life today! Such a scary situation to be in.
On the highway going 75mph the collision mitigation beeped and locked up the brakes dropping my speed below 50mph before letting off. There was a car in the lane to the right of me on a straight section of the highway but was not moving into my lane. Luckily there was no one behind me.
