The Automatic Emergency Braking System engaged while I was driving, causing my vehicle to slow down with a jolt. I felt my safety was put at risk. I have not yet confirmed this with my dealer, nor has it been inspected by anyone else. There were no warning lights or messages. indicating there was a problem.
2019 Honda CR-V driver assistance complaints
Page 11 of 12: complaints 281 to 310 of 320, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Purchased my vehicle November/December of 2019. I have had multiple occasions of my vehicle automatically braking for no reason what-so-ever. I've been in clear path of travel and it just brake. I have reported this to the Honda of Gallatin, TN on multiple occasions. I had to have radar system replaced with in a couple of weeks of owning the vehicle. And had to have some thing else replaced about a month ago because all my brake warning systems came on. On that occasion it didn't cause the brakes to come on but it's an uneasy feeling to drive with brake system warning on everything. The emergency braking has happen multiple times i'll do better in keeping track of those going forward
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the brakes applied independently. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed however, the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.
When entering an interstate at rush hour, I was the first car in the line of those entering, and there were no cars ahead of me in the remaining length of lane. At the top of the ramp, with nothing in front of me, my car suddenly came to a complete stop with the screen flashing BREAK, telling me the automatic breaking engaged. The force of the break while driving 55 mph caused my body to fly forward (to the extent allowed by the seatbelt) and later a bruise across my chest. Everything loose in my car became a projectile. The car immediately behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me, avoiding an accident. Problem is not reproducible as the system otherwise "works fine" and the car passes inspections. The car was under a year old at that point, and there were no other issues, warning lights, etc.
I was driving through an intersection at about 25 MPH with no car or obstructions in front of me when my Collision Mitigation Braking System inappropriately engaged and brought me to a screeching stop in the middle of the intersection. I am very lucky that no one behind me rear-ended me. My wife was wife me in the passenger seat and confirmed that there were no obstructions in the path of out vehicle. We were traveling straight through the intersection, no turning. My "Brake" light was flashing, the car was beeping and the brake pedal depressed itself firmly until the car stopped. This happened on 2/20/22 and I brought the car to the dealer (North City Honda) on 2/22/22 and they found nothing wrong with the car. When I first purchased this car in 2019, I was on the highway going 70mph with nothing in front of me and the same thing happened with the collision mitigation braking system inappropriately engaging but it lasted only about a second and disengaged. The "brake" light was flashing, the car was beeping and the brake pedal automatically depressed. Again, there was no car or other obstruction in front of me. Both of these episodes have scared the heck out of me, and I'm very lucky nothing bad happened with either.
twice in the past 6 months, driving down our rural road to our neighborhood the car flashed the BRAKE sign on the dash and applied the brakes. After touching the brake pedal the car returned to its normal speed. The road was clear, with no obstructions, no cars in front or cars coming the other direction. A web search brings up other incidents like this and a class action law suit
Twice now, my Honda CRV has automatically applied the brakes without warning. Once at 55MPH and again at 25MPH, over a 6-month period. Both times, the car slammed on breaks and the engine turned off. I see on-line, others have also reported the problem, but I can't believe Honda has not issued a recall. I am going to my local Honda dealer next week for another recall and will see if anything at the local level can be done.
The other day my car logged 35k miles. About 200 miles later multiple waning lights came up on my instrument panel. Adaptive Cruise Control, Road Departure and Collision Mitigation systems are not working. After looking for help on different forums I found that at around 35K miles this is happening to many people. The "radar" part of the system is most likely the part that needs replacing and just the part is over $400! This safety feature is not only required for modern vehicles, but it is used in vehicle safety ratings and marketing to attract buyers to specific vehicles. This is no small matter in my opinion. What good is a feature that stops working after the warranty runs out.
While driving warning lights on dashboard display the following issues: 1. Collision Mitigation System Problem 2. Road Departure Mitigation Problem 3. Tire Pressure Monitor Problem 4. Brake System Problem 5. Brake System Hold Problem 6. Power Steering System Problem 7. Vehicle Stability Assistant Problem 8. Hill Start Assist Problem and 9. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem. Vehicle taken to dealership for evaluation and assessment. Indicated it was due to corrosion on battery post. Post were cleaned problem reoccurring after vehicle diagnostic test. I'm unsure what will happen to me while driving. Unsure if the car System will fail while in motion. Dealership apparently unable to repair. This issue has been periodically reoccurring since September 26, 2021.
Automatic Emergency Braking will randomly flash BRAKE and start to break, yet there is nothing under or near the car. Unable to reproduce the problem, but it's happened 4-5 times in two years. The BRAKE warning started showing within a few weeks of driving.
My vehicle has 3 malfunction warnings that come up - Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, and Collision Mitigation System Problem along with the brake system light on. I have had the vehicle at the dealer for repairs 4 times, it has happened again a few more times and I am bringing my vehicle back to the dealer again for the fifth time (on 1/18/22). It happens randomly and has been persistent since November 2020. The district rep for Honda (Arizona) is aware of these issues. I have been offered no other solution except to bring the vehicle back in again (for the fifth time).
During driving, all warning lights flashed on the dashboard suddenly. Reverse car caused it to have lost power, stall. Regular maintained with low mileage. Dealer rest something but did not explain what were the exact causes. I am afraid it would happen again to cause dangers.
1. My car like many other CRV's I have read about online in forums and other sites is experiencing the fuel injection failure of CRV's since 2017 model. The consumer reports article from 2018 stated the 2019 model was to include a "fix" for this problem but it has not. My car has been in the shop twice in 2 weeks for this issue and now I am facing a $1,788.00 repair at my cost to have all new fuel injectors replaced at 51,400 miles. First sign of problem showed every safety system on the car failing and warnings on every light on the dash. Only after the 2nd trip to the dealer was the fuel injection code thrown on the computer. This problem leads to stalls, cuts offs, sluggishness in traffic which all cause safety issues. 2. The automatic emergency braking system on my car has alerted on multiple occasions when there is nothing in front of me, no obstruction, or any reason to throw the brake warning on the screen. There is one particular place on my daily commute where this happens consistently even though the light is green and there is no traffic flow ahead, beside or oncoming. 3. The lane keep assist program misreads shadows from the electric or telephone lines projected onto the roadway and steers to maneuver around them. It also tends to have difficulty when the road is wet in spots from rain earlier in the day. I keep it off most of the time now because of how it reacts.
I was driving about 35 mph on a flat road, sunny day approximately 75 degrees with no vehicles, bikes or people around me and my emergency braking system went off for no reason, throwing the car into a hard brake. My purse and work bag went flying. Thankfully, there weren’t any cars behind me or I definitely would have been rear-ended. It was a terrifying experience and I will be reporting this to my Honda dealership tomorrow. This happened one other time in a road construction detour. The car hard braked when changing lanes per the detour. These “safety” systems are not safe.
On 9/6 I turned left into a parking lot. I was not exceeding 20 mph. I slowed to go over a speed bump, took my foot off the gas to brake and before I actually pressed the brake petal the automatic braking feature activated. There were no cars in front of me or any road hazard. The same thing happened again on 10/9 but this time I was in traffic. After completing a left turn I slowed to go over a construction steel plate in the road. Again no cars in front of me, or any other hazard, but before I got my foot to the brake petal the braking system engaged. Because I was in traffic this time I barely missed being rear ended. I took it to the dealer, DCH Honda in San Diego on 10/12/21. They could not find an issue with the CMBC system and could not duplicate by a road test so they told me to keep driving it until it happens again and to bring it back if it does. Needless to say I don’t feel safe while driving it.
The emergency braking engaged for no apparent reason while I was driving about 35 mph and at least a car length behind car in front of me. The car slammed on the brakes in moving traffic for no apparent reason. Fortunately the car behind me was able to stop but this could have easily caused a rear end collision.
Yesterday I was traveling about 40 mph on two-lane highway coming to the crest of a hill when suddenly the "BRAKE" warning light from the Collision Mitigation Braking System came on followed immediately by the car quickly coming to a stop. The whole warning/stopping event occurred in a few seconds. There were no obstacles in the road, it was a clear, sunny day and (I later determined that) there was no debris or dirt on the grill or in front of the forward camera. There was a car following me about 2 or 3 car lengths behind who had to stop very quickly in order not to rear-end me. Checking my vehicle settings I noted that the "distance" setting for the CMBS was set to normal (not short or long). I have not yet had the issue looked into and will do so ASAP.
While cruise control on, car slams on it's brakes for no reason. So it will go from 55 mph to 15 mph without warning. Clear roads, no other cars on right, left, front, behind me. This has happened many times. I have gone to two dealerships: 1-29-21, 6-27-19, etc. They had it overnight & couldn't find anything. I read online, this has happened to others. I have talked to a service tech. manager who admitted the ACC system doesn't always work. I have 3 typed pages of issues with this CRV. Case #12036468 issued, but no one in customer service will call me back (800)999-1009. After I wrote a letter to their headquarters, they promised to call within 2 days. No one did, even after I sent them an email.
I was driving on an unobstructed road with no cars/ obstructions in sight and my automatic emergency braking suddenly engaged then released. Had there been Other vehicles/ traffic an accident may have occurred.
Automatic Emergency Braking system activated as I was accelerating away from a stoplight. Turning off of a side road onto a 4 lane thoroughfare. Upon turning onto the main road, I accelerated through an intersection with a green light. As I crossed two steel construction plates, straddled with the vehicle, the AEB system activated and brought the vehicle to a full and complete stop in traffic while I was on the accelerator pedal. Dash announcement flashed "BRAKE" and vehicle came to a stop. I was not following any other vehicles. I was accelerating.
i was driving in town at a speed of 35 mph when my car suddenly applied the brakes very hard and nearly stopped the vehicle. a warning alarm sounded at the same time. There were no other vehicles or objects within several blocks of my vehicle. I took the vehicle to Honda on Grand in Elmhurst IL where I purchased it new on 7-20-19 and reported the problem. they inspected the vehicle and could not find a problem. i looked online to find many people are having the exact same problem with this model. From what I read it appears to be a software problem with the adaptive cruise control. Honda is not acknowledging any problem at this time. My vehicle has 9480 miles on it and has never been in an accident. This is a serious safety issue and could easily cause an accident!
When on interstate in middle or left lane and passing car in lane to the right, with no car ahead in sensor distance, brakes can suddenly be applied. I contacted hondausa and was referred to dealer, which was coggin honda, st augustine, fl. Vehicle inspected, spoke to mechanic, who said he is hesitant to adjust forward sensor cone on vehicle. For safety reasons, I now travel on interstates using traditional cruise control. I do not want to be rear ended if a vehicle behind is tailgating and my brakes are suddenly applied. I cannot always get out of the way of a tailgater. The sudden application of brakes has happened several times, not only the date listed and always on a limited access road. I rarely use cruise control except on a limited access road. Control.
In car mounted screen for radio etc randomly changes while driving. From brightness off and on and darker to volume changing on its own. Only way to stop it (sometimes) is to turn off and turn back on the vehicle. Blind spot sensors also go out randomly sometimes because of weather other times (rarely, but still happened) randomly while driving.
My cr-v without warning will brake suddenly..very dangerous to me and the vehicle behind. Has happened on a straight hwy without traffic, and when I cross a specific rr crossing..I've checked with three dealers and am told nothing can be done with resetting the radar. Only honda (america) can give the codes? In the meantime its dangerous and is going to get me or someone else killed. I purchased at honda of boone, (friendship) and have invoice for service on 16 june 2020, mileage 6743, and recently service at crown honda of greensboro 02/21/202, (mileage1714) .service mgr. Said call amerrican honda, but would not give me address/phone and said I'd have to get codes? From them!
I was driving on the freeway at 60 MPH. Traffic was flowing. Suddenly, with nothing in front of me, the car applies the break and I came down immediately to 30 MPH. It was terrifying and luckily no one slammed into me.
Windshield wiper system does not work when it rains and in the morning when dew is present on windshield glass. Door does not lock often. Liftgate does not open often. Reverse camera does not work after rain for approximately 24 hours.
While driving 45 MPH on a divided road with no cars in front of me for at least 1/2 mile and no cars to the side or turning, my car brakes to almost a stop and the brake assist light went on. If there had been anyone behind me I would have been hit from behind. The braking was sudden enough that everything flew off the passenger seat into the floor. Took it to the dealership where I was told a shadow or a bag can set it off and there was nothing they could do to help because it wasn't broken and although some honda's allowed you to turn off that feature, the honda crv does not allow you to disable brake assist function permanently. You can turn it off every time you start the car but if you forget to turn it off a bag blowing in the street can bring you to a sudden stop.
I purchased a honda crv from hagerstown honda on 3/16/2019. I love my crv. However, I've been having serious problems with my car. The honda collision mitigation braking system is causing my car to just stop while driving, usually going 70 miles an hour or more, down to zero without warning. The cmbs thinks there is something I'm going to hit, however there are no cars or objects in front of me. This has happened to me about 5 times now. I have had my car back to the dealership to see if hagerstown honda can fix the problem. I have meet with bob barnes (service manager) and talked several times on the telephone about the issue, the technician (nick shifler) readjusted the radar, and a honda sensing interview sheet that was sent into honda USA. It happened again just last week, where I caused a three-car accident on east bound route 66. I was the only one that was injured in the accident as far as I know right now, however the other drivers had significant car damage. This car is not safe. Someone is going to get killed. The va state trooper at the scene of the accident told me not to drive the car because it was unsafe, and I agree. I contacted bob barnes service manager from hagerstown honda again last week, and he said he can't help me because they couldn't reproduce the problem and to contact honda USA. My car is unsafe to drive, because you never know when the cmbs system is going to engage, without warning. This has all happened on highway driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 honda cr-v. The contact stated that on two separate occasions while driving over a railroad track at a slow speed, the vehicle abruptly stopped with the collision mitigation braking system activated. The vehicle returned to normal operation afterwards. The contact took the vehicle to music city honda (88 belinda pkwy, mt. Juliet, tn 37122) where she was informed that the collision mitigation braking system could be deactivated each time the vehicle was started to prevent the failure from reoccurring. The contact stated that the safety feature needed to be amended as it may cause an accident due to the sudden and incorrect activation. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. *bf
I have 2019 crv and I recently brought to dealerships for radar sensor replacement due to intermittent. About a month later now it picks up signals or objects then automatically brakes even with nothing in front of the car (ie. No obstacles in front of the car or objects). A person behind me honked the horn and about to hitting me from behind. I just talked to honda dealerships and they have no idea how to correct the problem. This has occurred about 3 or more times now.
