On three separate occasions my automatic brakes designed to avoid a collision have engaged while I was driving highway speed with no vehicle or obstruction I'm front of my car.
2022 Honda CR-V driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 52, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving on a straight road at 35 mph the car suddenly and aggressively applied the brakes without driver input and without another car or obstacle in front of the car. Had there been a car behind me a rear collision would have been likely. The weather was sunny and there were deep shadows of trees cast on the road. This is the fourth time this has happened the past year. This is my first report to the federal safety agency.
Driving in mild foggy conditions, going 44 mph. My CRV dash had the BRAKE warning flashing and locked up my brakes. There was nothing in front of me do cause this. There was a car behind me that could of hit me. Everything in my car flew off the seats and it jarred my neck and back. My lowered back has been hurting and I am seriously concerned for my safety in this vehcle.
The automatic braking system is repeatedly braking inappropriately, with nothing in front of us or in the road. We have not gotten into an accident yet but have come close twice. The Honda dealership in Elk Grove, CA acted like this was normal and it “could be a leaf or pebble” and there’s nothing they can fix because it’s normal. This is not normal. It’s dangerous.
I was driving at 10am today on a local road, about 35mph, with no car in front of me, nor behind me. I was the only car in the area. Suddenly both the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system and the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) were activated. I was concerned when it happened, not knowing if the car would come to a stop. I called my local Honda Dealer Service Department, asking if they could check it out. He said they could take it for a test drive to see if it would happen again. Since this was the only time it happened we agreed to wait to see if it happens again before bringing it in. Once home I searched the federal safety agency database and discovered similar instances, and an open Investigation, EA24002. I wanted to be sure to add my incident to the others to help in finding a resolution.
They breaking mechanism engaged on its own in the vehicle came to a complete
I had 2 occasions in one day where my car did a phantom brake. It was unexpected and got me concerned and nervous. No orher car in front of me to cause this issue.
On 4 seperate occasions I have had my collision avoidance system activate suddenly, with no warning. Immediately initiating braking with NO danger, no car, nothing in front of me. Twice going thru an intersection, twice crossing a security barrier at work. My dash gives the brake warning and within 5 seconds immediately brakes for nothing in front of me. It almost caused an accident with the car behind me twice. It has not been troubleshot by the dealer or mechanic. The dealer hasn't been responsive to past concerns about other problems with the infotainment system/display so im not expecting them to take this seriously. It also doesnt duplicate easily.
My vehicle has had a worsening issue with the steering wheel sticking, especially when driving on winding roads. It is most pronounced when the steering wheel is turned to the left. Instead of smoothly returning to center, the steering wheel sticks in the left position and has to be forced right to center or to turn back right. Obviously having steering that is stuck or that has to be forced can be dangerous, especially at highway speeds. It also sometimes makes a knocking sound when turned all the way to the left. I have not had the vehicle inspected yet, but I have contacted Honda and my local dealership about the issue and am able to bring the vehicle in for inspection. There have been no warning lamps, messages, or anything similar.
On two separate occasions, the Honda CR-V brakes automatically engaged very abruptly for no reason. The dealership indicated that it is a known problem and that there is nothing that can be done to disengage the Automatic Emergency Braking. The vehicle has NOT been inspected. No warning or message was evident prior to, during or immediately after the incidents.
The contact's partner owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the “BRAKE” warning light illuminated, and the vehicle almost stopped on the roadway. The contact stated the vehicle started moving forward again but nearly caused a crash. The contact stated that the failure had occurred intermittently while driving at various speeds. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,615.
I was driving down a wide and straight road with no other cars anywhere around me. Suddenly, the automatic emergency braking system became activated and the car brakes came on for absolutely no reason. This could have caused a major accident if there was any traffic near me and is a very dangerous flaw in my car.
On a two way street, no cars in front or oncoming, at about 30 mph, for no apparent reason, the car suddenly and immediately braked to a stop. Very scary, but no one hurt. Luckily, no cars following close behind.
The automatic emergency warning light came on 4 times when there was no reason it should have come on bc there was no chance of a collision. Two of those times the automatic braking system was activated. This was dangerous. The dealer said there is no recall and nothing they can do. In addition, many warnings appeared on the dash one after another… Tire press monitor problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system prob, vehicle stability assist prob, adaptive cruise control prob, collision mitigation system prob, road depart.sys prob, electric parking brake problem, low brake fluid, and warned to stop asap and put on brake
Emergency braking system came on when there was nothing in our path. Very alarming. We were traveling at a low rate of speed-- 25 miles per hour and suddenly the Emergency braking system engaged and jolted us (driver and passenger) forward...this is very dangerous and could cause severe injury or death if it occurred on a highway
3 times now, I am driving straight and flat about 35-40 MPH, dry conditions, and the AEB triggers with nobody around me at all.
Collision Mitigation Braking System malfunctioned on 4/23/24 causing automatic abrupt braking when driving over metal hole cover in road. The braking was so intense the car behind our family nearly collided with our car. In the moment this happened the car was not in driver’s control as a result of malfunction. Contacted local Honda dealer by phone who was familiar with the issue and advised there is no doubt the cause is the CMBS and there is no diagnostics or resolution for the problem.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking unintendedly activated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and diagnosed as phantom braking. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.
My 2022 CRV EXL's Automatic emergency braking system engaged without warning for no reason; there were No obstructions on the road twice. Once on the 91 Eastbound freeway around 8:30pm going over 55mph when there were no obstructions for a fraction of a second while my wife and two young children were in the vehicle.
Brakes went on causing the car to almost come to a complete stop. Car went around the back of car. I was going 40 miles an hour. No car or anything in the road. Nice sunny day. This is the fourth time the brakes have gone on with nothing in front of car.
Periodic irregular intervention by the vehicle safety system applying braking force and/or steering input to no threat. Mainly happens at highway speeds, but sometimes occurs just above 40 mph.
On a number of occasions, my car will sound the emergency braking system beep, flash the BRAKE alert on the drivers message screen, and less frequently, apply the brakes independently when nothing is in front of my car. The warnings flash when the car thinks I am too close to a car turning out of my lane but several times this has happened when nothing is in front of me at all. On at least two occasions, full braking was applied when nothing was in front of the car.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds under 40 MPH, the brake was independently activated. The contact stated that the brake now message was displayed on the instrument cluster. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the dust or dirt on the milliliter wave radar needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
I had a medium sized doe run in front of the vehicle while on the highway. I had the adaptive cruise control set to 62 MPH with lane keeping assist and all other safety features enabled. When the deer ran out out in front of the vehicle the emergency breaking did not engage, nor did it flash the warning or make the chime. It caused major damage to the front center and drivers side of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. However, after the collision, the airbag light on the dash illuminated and stayed on. The airbag light has never came on before other than the illumination test when first starting the car. Also, the Hazzard lights did not com on automatically. The collision had enough impact to send the several hundred pound deer over 100' down the road. The only safety feature that partly worked was the retracting seat belts. I say partly worked because only the lap portion tightened. There was no tightening of the shoulder portion, which is now locked in place.
I was driving my 2021 Honda CR-V vehicle at residential speed (exact speed unknown). Car suddenly stopped in street causing me to jerk forward in driver seat. As the car stopped, I saw the orange BRAKE symbol appear in front dash. I was accelerating at time of incident. I was not using the brakes. I was injured with severe whiplash. Pain so severe that I also made an error with administration of a pain reliever when I arrived home. This put me and my passenger at risk due to the failure of what I learned was the CMBS in my vehicle. If another car was following too closely behind me at the time the car abruptly stopped, this could have been a more serious accident. This incident happened today 11/22/2023 at approximately 11:30 am EST. I have not had an opportunity to contact the dealer as I have been in pain since it happened. Also, a few weeks ago, I noticed the BRAKE symbol appeared while driving while accelerating. The car jerked but it did not fully stop. Date of that incident unknown. The car has not yet been inspected by anyone since today’s incident. I found information about the CMBS issue for my car type after searching for a known recall online this evening.
I was in a dedicated lane to make a left turn. There was no vehicle in front of me and no pedestrians in the crosswalk. I was coasting to the light at about 20mph or less as I could see that it was red and because I am familiar with the intersection , I knew it would not turn green immediately. At 2 to 3 car lengths back from where I was going to stop all of a sudden the car jolted to a stop. The car immediately shut down (quit running). There was no car behind me or I am sure my car would have been rear ended. I got out of the car to see if there was something under it or if I could see if something had fallen off the underside of the car. I tried to restart the car but it would not start. By that time there were 2 cars behind me waiting to turn. I got out of the car and went back to the nearest car and told the driver she needed to go around my car. I got back into my car and tried to restart it and it started. I had absolutely no warning before this happened. I did not take the car for an inspection but I did call the salesman (as soon as I could). He said it might be because of the forward collision system and suggested that I could turn it off. He said that the system is very sensitive and even a leaf might set it off. Even though it was in October, it was not a windy day and most trees in my area had not started losing their leaves. I bought this car because of the safety equipment as I am [XXX] and in good health, but I am a practical person. I did tell the salesman that if there is another incident that I would be coming in for an inspection. I have been anxious about this and have learned others have had this problem. Thank You, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
2 issues: 1. Automatic Emergency Braking started braking randomly when there was no danger at all. 2. Got Lane Departure Warning a few times, when the vehicle actually stayed in the lane.
My car has slammed on the brakes 3 times since May 5 for no reason causing the tires to squall and throw me into the wheel.
Automatic Emergency Braking\Forward Collision Warning. I've got this vehicle as a brand-new about 10 months ago. Since fall 2022 there were several wrong BRAKE notifications on IP cluster screen with beeping signal while the road was clear, empty with no no precipitation weather. Probably the hill-like road surface can be a reason. Today it is sunny. My lane was clean and empty. In the left U-turn lane was a Chevrolet Tahoe or similar GMC vehicle with rear radar device noticable by rear bumper shape (it could be a reason of incident). When I was accelerating and getting closer to that vehicle but staying in my lane, my vehicle unexpectedely automatically used brackes for couple seconds until - I assume - the left vehicle has been passed or it just drove out. Several hours later my chest still aching besause of seatbelt hit. I saw similar complains at the federal safety agency so I was kind of ready to that...
I was driving in slow-moving traffic (about 10 or 15 mph) as there were several police officers walking in the shoulder to the right of traffic. The brakes suddenly and strongly engaged for no reason. There was no steel plate in the road, no slowed or stopped vehicle or pedestrian in my path. As far as I know the brake warning light did not come on. The abrupt braking caused my neck and back to hurt, and I thought I had hit a child or a dog. As I looked behind me there was clearly nothing in my lane. I could have been rear-ended but was not.
