Frantic deceleration when on the highway reading the speed of a lot slower vehicles on the highway

I had an incident recently that makes me think that there is a real issue with the collision avoidance system recognizing "unusual" objects. I was driving at night on a 75 mph dual lane highway. I had cruise control with collision avoidance engaged. A large truck had pulled onto the highway in front of me and was slow to accelerate. I assumed that my cruise control would immediately slow my vehicle down but it didn't! By the time I realized that it wasn't going to do that, I was a lot closer to the truck than I wanted to be. The truck was a "high off the ground" kind of rig and I wonder if the collision avoidance was literally looking under it. I agree that the driver is ultimately responsible for his vehicle but IMO it is scary if a warning system doesn't do its job. The official 2025 Honda CR-V owner's manual, in the section titled Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, lists several situations in which the system may fail to detect a vehicle correctly. Two of those limitations are especially relevant to my experience: - A vehicle ahead has an unusual shape. - The minimum ground clearance of a vehicle ahead is extremely high. Honda also warns that detection can be compromised when the speed difference between my vehicle and the vehicle ahead is very large. We were able to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front of us, but only because we noticed that we were rapidly closing on the vehicle in front of us.

Had the federal safety agency 24V‑744 steering gearbox recall performed on my 2025 Honda CR-V EX-L. Immediately following the repair, the vehicle developed severe, unstable alignment tracking and 'memory steer' where the steering wheel fails to self-center after turning left. There is a dangerous, loose mechanical 'dead zone' in the center steering position and loud knocking noises coming from the steering column. Additionally, the technician mechanically damaged the steering column's internal clock spring ribbon cable during the repair, compromising the driver's SRS airbag deployment system. The vehicle's severe misalignment is causing glitchy Lane Departure Warning alerts because the camera tracking doesn't match the crooked physical steering angles, and it is actively destroying the front tires. The servicing dealership performed a brief 5-mile test drive and refused to fix the safety issues, writing 'no abnormalities found' on the invoice to clear their liability, and actively refused to provide my requested digital alignment machine printout. Honda Corporate customer service has refused to intervene, leaving the vehicle completely unstable and unsafe to drive.

the CMBS, auto braking system is engaging and BRAKING my car for no reason. For example, driving 70mph on turnpike, it engaged on a dry road, clear day with no other cars or items in front of me. VERY dangerous. vehicles behind me could have crashed into me. happened at least 2 more times on 35/40mph with NOTHING on road. the only thing i can do is disengage it EVERY single time i start the engine. Took to my Moon Township dealer who said it can happen and sent me home. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

As I was pulling into a parking space, the car suddenly accelerated, ran through bushes, down a slope across a sidewalk hitting a city utility box. and jumped the curb finally stopping on the street. no other vehicles were involved and no injuries. I did not report at the time of the incident, because I thought I must have done something wrong. However a similar event occurred on May 29, 2026 (See Complaint #11743489) which leads me to believe there may be a defect in the car.

Honda put the CR-V lidar censor behind the logo emblem on the front grill. The logo is easy to remove, and the censors are being stolen at alarming rates. They're utterly unprotected, and cost over $2000 to fix/replace. It is a huge design flaw and it's unfair that they've saddled car owners with no ability to prevent theft, and huge replacement fees if a theft occurs. I just had the logo emblem stolen and it cost over $320 to replace. That's unacceptable and I'm really mad at whoever designed this car.
