When driving on a main road at about 45 mph, the automated braking system slammed on the brakes, slowing me down to 20mph. At this time, my foot was already on the brake as I was going through an intersection so I was slowing down. There was nothing in front of me. This happened on 8/20/2022. Thankfully there was no car behind me, otherwise I would have been rear-ended. On several other occasions, the automatic brake warning has gone off when there is no obstruction in front of the car, but this was the first time the brakes actually slowed the car down significantly.
On or about August 8th 2022, while traveling on Rt. 561 (Haddonfield- Berlin Rd. driving my 2019 CR-V my automatic brakes engaged erroneously. My son was with me in the front passenger seat when the brakes automatically engaged. This occurred while we were approaching Laurel Rd in one of two dedicated left turn lanes. There were no cars around me at that time. The driver’s side tires did track over the painted hashed yellow median stripping briefly. It’s a wide open area. It was not a harsh break but it jolted the car. I did not notice any signals on the dash and no sound of alarm was heard. This is the first time this has occurred. I understand that the NHSTA is investigating similar reports. Weather was clear and sun was out. I am scheduling a visit to the dealer, Burn’s Honda of Cherry Hill.

Twice this has happened. Driving on normal city streets, approximately 35 mph, come to the metal plates on the road in construction area Nad car slams on its brakes and comes to a complete stop in traffic, almost causing an accident and scaring heck out of the occupants of the vehicle.

I was driving our car on a suburban side street, maybe going 15 MPH, and all of a sudden the car just completely to an abrupt stop and we were all jerked backwards. The dashboard displayed a rectangle that said BRAKE in all caps, which I'd never seen before. There was absolutely nothing in front of us or in our way. No dog, no person, nothing. It was like someone had pulled an emergency brake and stopped the car out of nowhere. We were OK, though my son in the backseat said the seatbelt pushed against his neck. It was really scary and unsettling.
2019 Honda CRV, 37,000 miles. Vehicle applied the Automatic Emergency Braking system while it was IN MOTION at about 30-35 mph. No one was behind me; thankfully, but this could have been a SERIOUS ISSUE if someone was. I drive two small children in this vehicle on a daily basis. I was stunned and scared when the brakes engaged with no warning at such a speed with no obstructions in sight. This was a down hill straight road and no cars parked on either side of the road. Upon googling the issue, I came across the information that this was not a random fluke, but a known safety issues with my year, make and model. I have reported this incident to the dealership (Brandfon Honda, Branford, Connecticut) to Honda Motor Corporation headquarters and here to the federal safety agency. I am hoping for a swift review and resolution of this issue. Honda CR-V's and Accords are a very common vehicles so this issue affects a great number of people all over the world.
While getting off highway, traveling about 40mph, sudden severe braking, enough to force me forward in seat. Momentarily and then gone. Could have made me lose control and cause an accident.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving over train tracks at approximately 25 MPH at night, the vehicle independently stopped. The vehicle was stuck in the middle of approximately 3 of the train tracks. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact then accelerated to move the vehicle forward and drove safely to her destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
7-12-22 I was driving on I-70 east in Maryland--3 lanes. Car ahead of me was at least 6 lengths ahead. My BRAKE light flashed on my dashboard, and then the brakes were applied by the system. I was thrown forward in my seat and a car almost hit me from behind. I called dealership and they will look at system next week.
On multiple occasions I have received a notice to brake, but there is nothing in front of me. It's even started to break a couple times. When these incidents happen, there was nothing in front of me. It was a clear lane... This has happened while adaptive cruise control is on and when it is off.
Incident happened on 7/2/2022 at approximately 9:45 pm. I was driving on a 3 lane street with light traffic. Speed approximately 40mph and no vehicles in front of me when my car suddenly had the automatic braking system stop the car. All 4 passengers jolted forward and fortunately no injuries as well as no car behind to cause a collision. I feel this is extremely dangerous and could have caused a major accident or injuries. Planning to bring car in to dealership for further evaluation as well
I was driving at approx 20 miles per hour and the automatic braking system activated and the car came to an immediate stop. Luckily the car behind me was at a sufficient distance - or this would have been a rear end collision. This was extremely frightening and I found it difficult to drive the rest of the way home. I took side roads instead of the highway. This is a very terrifying incident that could potentially have resulted in a serious accident to myself, my passengers and others. My lease ends in December 2022 but I don't feel I can ever safely drive this car again.

We were driving on the interstate in Las Vegas with no cars in front of us for at least 300 ft when the Automatic Emergency Braking engaged fully. Scared us to death but luckily we did not get rear ended.
The Automatic Emergency Braking System failed. I was driving and the car automatically braked to a complete stop on its own. No "bRAKE" light came on before, the car just braked on its own, no warning. Luckily there was no car behind me this is a street people usually drive 60 on!!! Everything flew off my seats and it hurt my entire body
While driving the emergency brake system activates and brings my car to a complete stop. It happens intermittently. The most recent was during a trip the week of June 6,2022-it occurred approximately three times on our way home. Fortunately I saw the brake light flash and tapped the brake to avoid it from coming to a complete halt. We were traveling about 60mph! I even pulled off the road and turned the car off and back on again to see if that would help! Additionally I had to turn the lane keep assist off because it malfunctioned a few weeks ago-it kept trying to pull my car outside of the lane I was in-it acted as though I was drifting out of my lane. I almost lost control of the car.
On June 17, 2022 I had front end collision. I was stopped at a traffic light and went to move up closer to the car in front of me. When I touched the accelerator my accelerated very quickly in and removed my foot from the pedal. The engine continued to rev even though my foot was on the break. I was not seriously injured. The car that I hit had 2 people in it and they looked ok at the scene. I think they are being evaluated for injuries. I am waiting to take it to Progressive Insurance Network collision center. But they don’t seem to be interested in anything but body work.
I was driving slowly (25 mph) through an intersection when the car suddenly beeped and flashed "BRAKE" and slammed on my brakes. Another car almost hit me as he was not expecting me to stop in the middle of the intersection. All of my things inside the car flew around and the abrupt stop hurt me and my daughter in the back seat.
The automatic braking system came on for no reason while I was driving on the highway T 65MPH.
Car applied brakes without warning in 2020 while driving on the freeway
Automatic emergency braking engaged when there was nothing in front to brake for. This has happened 8 - 10 times in the last two years. The car is available. Sudden braking with nothing to brake for startles me but no injuries. I contacted the dealership but they have not checked the vehicle. No one has inspected the vehicle. When the automatic braking engaged the "braking" light came on as brakes engaged but no warnings prior to it engaging for no reason.
Out of nowhere all the warning lights on dash board came on and the parking break was automatically applied. Fortunately I was not driving at the time.
All the warning lights were flashing on dash, brakes, powers steering , cruise control anti lock brakes ,lane departure ect. This happen on the way to work shut off car two days remained on. On the way home lights went out. Was told to bring car in for diagnostics. Made app and away it went, apon arriving to dealer , I explanied thatthe lights went out. They told me that I would have to pay 150 dollars for diagnostics. Told them I was under warranty with full coverage, didnt matter. They asked if car was running ok and I reply yes. But alittle concerning to have all lights flashing at same time. Needless to say once again lights came on a month later same thing with dealer make appointment. I think that this should be looked into because it’s not the first time this is a problem for honda it was happening to there 2017. Please check into complaints about the warning lights.
ON June 14, 2022 my 2019 Honda CRV slammed on the brakes without me touching the brake pedal. My vehicle is available for inspection if needed My safety was at risk because I was thrown forward violently. My safety and the safety of others were at risk because if there had been a car behind me, they would have hit me. I have not taken it to a service center yet. I have not had time. There were no warnings. I was going about 30 mph, I do not believe the BRAKE warning sign alighted but I can't say for sure because I was being jolted forward. There was no one around me on the road and luckily no one behind me. I read the Feb 24, 2022 CNN Business article “Random braking in Honda Accord and CR-V under investigation” and found this is exactly what happened to me. Please let me know if there are any updates you can share or if Honda is doing anything to alleviate the problem.
Automatic emergency braking glitch. Car suddenly stopped with nothing in front and without driver's control. The car behind us narrowly avoided a rear ending collision.
In two instances, while driving in the city street (cloudy day, daytime) around 30 miles per hour, the car suddenly went into emergency breaking with no obvious reason. The breaking light flashing in the dashboard. No car in front at all. The car almost went to total stop. The system went back to normal less than a sec later. Everything was normal before it happened. I was lucky because no car was behind me when this happened. Did not take to dealer.
While driving on the highway at approximately 50MPH my 2019 Honda CR-V suddenly braked hard on its own, with no vehicle in front of me. Luckily there was no one behind me either or it would have likely caused me to be rear ended. It was a frightening experience, also causing neck pain for a few days afterwards. I reported the issue to Honda.
