On multiple occasions since purchasing this certified used vehicle in April 2021, the "brake" warning of the AEB will randomly begin flashing when there are no cars or other obstacles in front of me. On one occasion, while I was traveling over 55mph on a highway, the "brake" warning began flashing and the brakes were engaged by the vehicle causing me to lunge forward into the steering wheel. Thankfully, there was no car immediately behind me that had to use their brakes. The incident occurred quickly and then the car began to accelerate back to the speed I was originally travelling. I reported this to my local Honda dealership, but no report was filed by them and the vehicle was not inspected. I made inquiries after that to find out if and how to disable the AEB since it is faulty. If I forget to disengage the system (it has to be done every time the car is started) the random "brake" flashing continues to occur without reason.

Unintended acceleration from stop. With the engine at normal operating temperature, transmission in drive, and the vehicle stopped at a stop sign or traffic light, when I remove my foot from the brake pedal, the engine RPM instantly and abruptly increases from 700 RPM to approximately 1000 RPM. The vehicle moves ahead suddenly with no pressure on the accelerator pedal, and can reach a speed of 7 MPH on level pavement. The same acceleration occurs when I am moving very slowly into a parking space or garage and my foot is pressing lightly on the brake pedal -- the engine RPM increases suddenly and the vehicle "jumps" ahead, requiring increased pressure on the brake pedal to prevent acceleration. I believe that this condition constitutes a safety hazard because the driver does not expect the vehicle to move ahead with no pressure on the accelerator pedal, and therefore the vehicle could impact the vehicle ahead of it, a wall or parking barrier ahead of it, or a pedestrian crossing in front of it. I have taken the vehicle to two honda dealers for this condition (september 25, 2020 and march 12, 2021). The first service report stated "system scan found no dtcs, road tested and found all normal." the report from the second dealer stated "check and found normal/proper operation." this condition has existed since we bought the vehicle (new) on september 18, 2018. I firmly believe that this condition is not normal and has the definite potential to cause damage to the vehicle, other vehicles, property, or pedestrians. Honda should be required to fix this problem.

I experienced unintended sudden acceleration of the vehicle on 11/29/2019 around 1pm. I was slowing to a stop a a stop sign when the engine suddenly revved up to above 3000rpm. I immediately applied the brakes with more force and stopped the vehicle while the engine continued to rev between 3000 and 5000rpm. While holding the brakes firmly, I shut off the engine and then confirmed that my foot was only on the brake pedals and not touching the accelerator. There happens to be a police officer behind me at the time and he came up to my vehicle to see what the problem was. I explained the issue and he suggested I start the vehicle again to see if the problem still persists. I did so and immediately the engine revved up again above 3000 rpms. The police officer concurred that this was not normal and I shut off the engine again. By this time a second officer arrived on the scene. After consulting briefly, they were about to call a tow truck for me when the second officer suggested that I try starting the vehicle one more time. When I did, the vehicle returned to normal operations. I took my vehicle to the honda dealership immediately upon returning home. However, after inspection, the technician was not able to identify any problems. This is the second time I have taken this vehicle to the dealership for this issue because I have experienced the same problem multiple times in the past under similar conditions.

I was pulling my honda crv into a short driveway to park in front of a closed garage door. My speed was less than 5 MPH. As I was in the driveway within 5-6 feet of the closed garage door, the engine revved and car suddenly accelerated. I could no longer feel the accelerator directly under my foot and applying the brake did nothing to stop the car. Acceleration continued, car went through garage door and crashed into concrete wall at the back of the garage. Not sure what speed the car was traveling when crash occurred. Given the short distance, maybe 20-30 MPH. Airbags deployed. No issue with floor mats or other objects near the accelerator.

Sudden acceleration. Had foot on the brake in a parking spot, the car suddenly accelerated. The engine raced and the car propelled forward, jumped the curb and stopped when hitting a tree. The accelerator pedal was not touched, and the braked did not hold it. Luckily, no one was in front of the car. Honda has denied any responsibility, and the dealer could not duplicate the problem. Have had the car for 3 months, and 1800 miles. Obviously, the first time this has happened. Now we are afraid to get the car, since someone may be killed the next time the car decides to act up.
