I was driving about 40 mph and all of the sudden my CR-V just stopped my foot was on the gas and my husband and grandchild were scared and wondering what was going on
Driving at freeway speeds with nothing in my path, the automatic braking system engaged with flashing lights, beeping and sudden braking. There was no other vehicle in front of me in line of sight.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the brake was independently activated. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated she had experienced the failure twice. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.
As I have been driving on roads which have construction my car has been stopping out of nowhere and saying it was out of the lane, this has almost resulted in near 2 collisions. I fear one day I will actually be hurt or hurt other drivers as sometimes instead of stopping it jolts to the other lane. The camera in the back sometimes pops up on the screen as I’m driving and it makes it incredibly hard to focus on driving.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving through a construction zone at 15 MPH, the vehicle independently came to an abrupt stop upon approaching a large piece of sheet metal on the roadway. The contact also stated that the brake warning light flashed on the instrument panel. The contact was able to resume normal driving soon after the failure. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 34,409.
Today, the Automatic Emergency Braking system on my 2018 Honda CR-V misfired. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk as well as the driver's safety in the car behind me. There was a group of two adults and two children on the sidewalk about ten to twelve feet to the right of the spot where my car suddenly braked. I had slowed the car with the foot brake right before the car suddenly stopped. The car behind me almost hit my car. My phone flew off of the passenger front seat and landed on the floor, and my neck was jarred. I was so stunned and upset that I pulled my car over to the side to let the car behind me pass. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. The Automatic Emergency Breaking system has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representative or any others. The word BRAKE appeared at the same time the car stopped but not prior. I did not push the brake pedal to stop the car.
Approximately 10 times over the past 3 years the Automatic Braking System has engaged the brakes inappropriately. Half of these episodes occurred when no other vehicles were around my vehicle. The others occurred when other vehicles were next to mine but not in front of mine. The most recent episode occurred as I was driving in the right lane on a 3-lane road with no one in front of me. I approached a red light and slowed but the light turned green ahead of me so I continued. As I passed some of the cars that were going about 10mph slower than me, as they had left the light from a complete stop, the car slammed on the brakes and my car came to an almost complete stop in the road. My tires screeched and my children and I were thrown forward due to the violent braking. Cars behind me had to change their trajectory quickly to avoid hitting me. I have taken my car into the dealership on several occasions and asked for this system to be disabled but they said that there was no way to do that without causing damage to other systems. There is a button on the lower left of the steering wheel, not an obvious place, that will disable the system when held down but this is something that has to happen every time I get in the car. There are no lights or reminders that the system is on so it is difficult to remember every time. The safety of me and my passengers as well as everyone on the road around us is at risk every time I drive the car. There were no commonalities to these episodes so there is no rhyme or reason as to when this will happen. Although I would like the dealer to be able to replicate the problem, this entails putting them and the public at risk. I would welcome anyone who would like to inspect the car to ascertain a cause.
All the warning lights come on and the vehicle starts to drive slowly and brakes on its own. This has happened 3 times now. I recently took it to the dealership and they couldn't figure out the problem. They reset something and the lights turned off. Here i am one week later dealing with the same issue. If HONDA cant figure it out who do i turn to. This is a hazardous condition created by this car. It could result in someone being injured or killed. Driving on the freeway when your car applies the brakes for no reason is dangerous. When ALL the warning lights come on its a scary issue that nobody seems to be able to address. This has happened to multiple Honda CRV and HRV owners. It's time to have this problem resolved before I end up dead or injuring or killing someone else.
On multiple occasions, with no vehicle in front of me while traveling approximately 30 to 40 miles an hour the automatic braking system has engaged heavily to an almost immediate stop with no cars pedestrians or anything in front of me. The warning brake light flashes and it came to a very sudden stop almost causing a rear-end collision on one occasion. I have turned off this feature, because I'm afraid of it causing an accident or injury to myself or family.
Automatic AEB brake system comes on and car slows down, on highway doing 65 mph. With no one in front
While driving on a residential street at approximately 25 Mph with no traffic, my 2018 Honda CRV-EX activated a Stage 3 Collision Mitigation Braking System event. The car came to a sudden, complete stop throwing loose items out of the seats. Honda says if the CMBS system determines that a collision is unavoidable, it will continue the visual and audible alerts, and apply strong braking to help mitigate the forces of the collision. This sudden stop could have caused an accident if another car had been following closely behind.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle independently abruptly stopped. The contact stated that the brake warning light intermittently flashed on the instrument panel while driving. The contact stated that during one failure, the vehicle stopped abruptly and her left shoulder struck the steering column. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled to have a diagnostic test performed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
I was driving about 30 mph across several railroad tracks when the car suddenly braked very hard, without my foot on the brake pedal. I saw the orange “BRAKE” sign on the dash, and the car just suddenly slammed on the brakes. Fortunately, no one was behind us. It was scary - if a car had been following us, they could have hit me. I don’t trust this car anymore.
The contact’s wife owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) engaged inadvertently while there were no vehicles or objects around the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle resumed speed independently. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving at nighttime also. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
While traveling on Rt 29 in Maryland at normal highway speed, heard a beeping sound and then saw that the emergency brake warning was flashing on the instrument cluster. Beeping and light were active for several seconds. There were no cars within several hundred feet of my vehicle. This is the second time this has happened in the last 60 days.
While traveling on a roadway unoccupied by another vehicle, the Honda's emergency braking system engaged and brought the car to a sudden stop. The roadway was clear and weather was dry and sunny. This incident occurred in the middle of the afternoon. The vehicle was clean with no obstruction around any of the sensors. If there would have been a vehicle traveling close behind, there may have been a rear end collision.
While driving through town at approximately 30-35 mpr the red brake light flashed on and the brakes slammed hard. There was nothing in front of me or approaching from the sides. My child and I were jolted as if in an accident. Luckily the car behind me did not rear end me. I did call and report it to my dealer and have scheduled an appointment for diagnosis. I once had the brake light flash on while on the highway but the brakes only slightly gripped.
Additional info related to complaint number 11454465. While driving on I-74, the car in front of me moved over to the exit ramp then slowed down because there was a sharp curve on the ramp. My brakes engaged unexpectedly but my lane was now clear. I looked down at the dashboard and noticed that my car was still sensing that there was a car in front of me. Then sensor turned off and the brakes released.
Traveling a city street about twenty to twenty five mph when the vehicle abruptly stopped/braked. It stopped so hard I thought I hit something. The BRAKE warning did not flash before the stop. I think it flashed when the car stopped. I put the car in park, got to see if I did hit something. Nothing. No animals, children, balls etc in front of the vehicle. There was a steel street plate. I do not recall if the vehicle was on top of it or just before it.
The Automatic Emergency Break is applying when no obstacles found and all of a sudden it was stopping. Recent incident is when I was returning from Costco, neither object nor vehicle exists on my road, it was small bridge and is clean out of any obstacles, but suddenly the warning is appeared on the dashboard and Automatic break was applied by vehicle. I was on the speed limit of 15-20 miles/hour and there were no vehicles behind my car otherwise it would be a major accident. Luckily I didn't bring my wife and new born kid (Day's old), else they would hit the driver seat and passenger seat due to this sudden break and I may need to rush to hospital as there is newborn inside the vehicle. And I was totally blank when this was happened. I stopped my vehicle sometime on the shoulder and started later. Earlier to this incident, good no of times, my vehicle was forecasting the warning messages on Dashboard though nothing was there, I thought may be sensor is covering the objects with broader angle but suddenly stopping the vehicle for the first time. As Honda is providing the major safety features, I was purchased this CR-V particularly and thinking I am safe on long drives, but this incident is changed my mindset and now worrying in future if it happens what to do? For a speed limit of 15-20 itself it was trouble me, if it is in a highway with a speed limit of 70, I can't imaging what would have happen? Please take this as a complaint do a investigation as required.
Driving down road at approximately 30mph, no obstructions in road or vehicles in front of me and the car suddenly slowed down to approximately 10mph due to automatic braking system engaging.

New Jersey: While driving to work (I am a healthcare worker) at 5:30 am on Route 9 North in Manalapan NJ, at a speed of approximately 50 miles per hour, the brake warning light went on and the car unexpectedly slammed to a full stop. No car was immediately behind me or they would have crashed into me. My purse, coffee and book on front seat went flying to the dashboard. Prior to this event happening, the Brake warning light would go off even if no one was in front of me or anywhere around me. the Honda dealership in Freehold NJ dismissed my concern and said there is nothing they can do without recreating the problem. I called the Freehold dealership and was told the service manager was out for a month, no one is covering for him. I asked to speak to someone else in the service department and they told me to drive down and they will have a technician drive with me to see the problem. I told them it was random and never happened before, but to no avail. I asked if I could turn off the Collusion Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and they said no. Just to adjust the ACC (low speed follow) to long. I insisted on being seen today, but am concerned that this will happen again.
The automatic braking system engaged without warning and without reason as I was not within close proximity to any other vehicles or obstructions.

I was driving on lower level on Manhattan Bridge toward Manhattan, New York. It was about 10:30am. The car experienced a hard brake while I was driving with no obvious obstacle ahead or sides. The most closest vehicle was in front, on my right side lane, which had at least 5 car distance.
Vehicle randomly slammed on brakes without driver touching the brake. There were no obstacles or other cars in front of the vehicle at the time. Automatic emergency braking was on. The only warning that came up was the”Brake” warning as the vehicle was slamming on the brakes. Luckily the car behind the vehicle was able to move to another lane to avoid a collision. The vehicle was taken to the Honda dealer and inspected. They were unable to find the cause of the random braking or to reproduce it.
The brake warning system beeped and forcefully applied the brakes when I was driving approximately 30mph. The only "obstacle" was a flat steel plate on the road. Thankfully no one was behind me. Everything in my car slide forward and off the seats due to the force of the braking. I also regularly get the beep warning when I am driving up a steep hill near where I live. Thankfully the brakes do not engage. I never had anything inspected. I also get beeping when backing up with nothing in the way. And recently backed into a truck bumper and there was no beeping. I just assume that the systems are irritating and don't work properly.
