I was driving at a slow speed (10-15mph) when my brakes automatically engaged. After the car stopped I began to accelerate and the brakes engaged again. There wasn’t any reason for the brakes to engage.
2020 Honda Accord driver assistance complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 115 of 115, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On 3/24/22 while driving on the freeway at 65mph my car stopped suddenly. The ABS alert appeared on the dashboard and it made me swerve my car, also in the afternoon when getting off the freeway the ABS system alert appeared and my car braked suddenly there was no car or person in front of me at that time either it stopped so hard the car behind me had to swerve.
I experienced phantom breaking while driving to work on 03/02/2022. I was driving on the right most lane before entering into north bound 101 highway when my 2020 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T abruptly stopped, there was no car or object in front of the car, and luckily there was no car behind me, otherwise I would have been hit and injured. A few days later, I brought the car to Capitol Honda dealer for checkout, but dealer could not find any problem. I have not driven my Honda Accord much during the past two years as I mostly work from home due to Covid-19 and my car has only 2800 miles when this incident happened. Since this is the 1st time I encountered phantom breaking, I would like to report the incident as I am concerned that it might happen again in the future.
Multiple times while driving the emergency braking has engaged briefly. At first I thought it was detecting something in the road or a vehicle to the side of my car. That is not the case. It will apply this brake no matter what is in front of or around me. I have not noticed it doing it on secondary roads but it does it on highways and the interstate. This has created an unsafe situation many times.
Five times over two years, the collision mitigation system has activated while the car was in motion but no object was in front of the car. Three minor activations, meaning a brief yellow glow on the dash, have occurred. Two more significant activations have also occurred with a yellow rectangle on the dash with the word BRAKE visible. The most serious activation was at highway speeds. I was concerned that the car was going to automatically brake on the highway. I have returned this two year old car to the dealership multiple times for evaluation and have found little motivation on the part of the dealership to deal with this problem and other more minor problems the car is demonstrating. I consider the above complaint to be potentially life-threatening. I will not drive in this car unless the collision mitigation is turned off.
With seemingly no impediments ahead of it our 2020 Honda Accord will suddenly brake forcefully when changing lanes or exiting the freeway. it is not constant, but it is scary since there is no reason to brake at this point. this could cause us to be rear-ended the thing this system is supposed to keep us from doing. the dealer says unless it occurs when they drive it, unless, unless. The 'advisor' said he had heard of a few examples. they are all over the internet. What is being done to address this issue? oh, and he mentioned that we could always turn it off. we bought this car because being in our sixties and reflexes not necessarily being what they once were we wanted to avoid hitting someone from behind. this has happened on dozens of occasions. the listed date was the last.
Both my wife and I have multiple dates and time experienced issues of CMBS Collision Mitigation Braking System, we would be driving with no traffic near us or with in hundreds of feet in front of us that the system would flash "brake" on the dash and then start slowing the vehicle down. Also the Front and rear brakes pads and rotor have been replaced under 6000 miles on the vehicle
The automatic braking system was activated when I was driving ~40mph on a straight highway under clear weather conditions with no cars in front of me. Fortunately, the car behind me was able to avoid me but I did receive a few honks and a couple of finger salutes. I immediately reported the problem to my dealership and still haven't heard from them - 4 hours and counting.
Cruise control not working properly with the speed and car brake by himself its like detect something but is nothing in front
There appears to be an issue with the steering when driving straight, the will seem to lack response and the car will drift to the right or the left only to have control regained via a notchy light jolt of the wheel. This has also been described by 2018-2020 accord owners as a notch and/or flat spot in the steering when on smooth straight highway roads. I consistently have this occur when driving for more thsn 5 or ten minutes on any open road. Does not seem to noticeable in local driving. I do notice this within 20-30 minutes of driving. I brought the vehicle to a local honda dealership (waldorf honda) and they did a minor adjustment to the balance of the tires. This had no effetc for the problem and I noticed it happening again immediately upon driving on an pen highway again. I've identified at least 20 such complaints on the federal safety agency web-site from 2018-2020 models, I'm surprised that no such bulletin or recall is documented to remedy this issue. This is primarily a highway issue at speeds above 50mph, but I even feel the notchy steering on smooth single lane country roads that at 40-50mph. I feel that this is a definite car sfaety issue which needs to be remedied as at highway speeds the car drifts and the driver fights to keep it straight. Especially concerning when driving in rain or slick conditions. This is a safety issue that honda needs to address before someone is hurt or killed due to high-speed swerving to maintain the vehicle in a straight line on the road. In almost fifty years of driving I have never been afraid to drive a car on the highway. That is how I feel about the 2020 honda accord now.
Constant alert coming on vehicle as driving saying "collision mitigation braking system has a problem. Have your vechile checked by dealer" along with "adaptive cruise controm system has problem. Turn off engine, then restart" am I dealing with a computer or a vehicle I can potentially lose my life if something goes wrong???
The warning lights come on for the breaking system road departure mitigation system problem see your dealer, collision mitigation braking system problem see your dealer adaptive cruise control system problem see your dealer. With the acc and brake system warning lights on and the car only has 2516 miles on it. This does not make me feel safe at all to drive. What is being done to fix this problem as there are multiple reports of this kind? Is there a fix now!!
A message came over the dashboard "TPMS tire pressure monitoring system malfunction, see dealership". There was a text message then appeared on the music screen. I was on my way to the dealership on the highway when the car was pulling to the right lane towards traffic and I was pulling to the left and hit the jersey barrier and spin the car around. The vehicle from the rear hit me and
Tl* the contact owns a 2020 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds with the cruise control activated, the lane departure feature activated, forcing the vehicle back to the center in between the lanes. The contact stated that whenever an object or another vehicle was nearby, the forward collision automatic braking engaged without warning. The accelerator pedal was depressed the vehicle resume normal operation. The vehicle was taken to mcgrath honda (2020 n randall rd, elgin, il 60123) to be diagnosed and test driven however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failures. The vehicle was taken back 5 additional times with the same results. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and informed the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer for more diagnostic testing. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 3,200.
Honda accord 2020 lx has so much rattle problems when driving on the grooved road when accelerating, especially on bad condition highspeed road around 60-70 MPH. Noise happens in the dashboard, b pillar seatbelt area, roof between b and c pillar. Which distracts people when driving, so dangerous.
