On january 4th while traveling home my accord was set in cruise control and out of the blue hit the brakes on it's own with no one around me. i brushed it off but about 20 miles or so down the road it did it again except thus te was next to a diesel and not only did brake on its on it also responded as if i was out my lane and began to to turn my car into the diesel i was able to keep the car from crashing and the the cruise control went out and i began to get a message the there was an issue with the braking mechanism. i was worried about driving the remainder of of my trip but i was an hour and half away from home so traveled on home check my brakes constantly. this experience has my wife and i rattled. i took my car in on the 6th to topeka honda and explained what happened and that the car tried to kill me and my wife by trying to run us into a diesel truck and how it was braking on its own and the took and ...
Driving at the highway, car suddenly slow down from 70mph to 40-50mph,there were any car in front of me! i have nothing on my windshield! there weren't any stop or traffic sign! so honda stop saying i am driving recklessly! for few second i regained control of gas, i have to speed up my car so i don't get rear end, then everything happen again, car decided to tap brake by itself. this happen multiple time during the highway driving. screen pop up said collision mitigation break system error. please contact honda dealership. after contact dealership for repair. was told that they could not determined the problem since the error did not show up during their in house testing. and yes, error code disappeared after car restarted. but problem consists after long distance drive. i don't know i should drive this car or i have pray you god that one day i don't get rear end because honda accord decides to brake itself!
Here is a description of the safety issues this car continues to have that the manufacturer and two dealers will not fix under the manufacturer's warrantee because they claim they can not duplicate and there are no stored error codes. this car has a lane departure mitigation (ldm) system that has falsely activated many times while the car is centered on the driving lane. the ldm activates by providing a warning on the dashboard and by moving the steering wheel quickly to the left and to the right which distracts the driver (a safety issue) and once caused me to almost steer the car into a semi on my right by compensating for the left steering wheel movement. this car also has a lane keep assist system (lkas) which repeatedly has steered the car off the road. both these issues have been recorded and provided to ahm and both dealers. these issues happen randomly on city streets and highways. additionally, this car has issues with randomly displaying an incorrect speed limit on the dashboard (100 mph in a 60 mph zone), falsely warning "steering is required" on the dashboard, a "shift to park" warning while ...
I was accelerating from a stop at a red light and once i hit about 10-15 mph, the collision mitigation system came on and slammed the car to a complete stop for no apparent reason. i have a dash camera video which shows the incident. this was on a clear, sunny day on a non-busy city street (overpass).
There was no problems indicated with the stopping ability of the car when all of a sudden a loud grinding noise was heard when the brakes were applied. the car was immediately taken to the dealer only 2 miles away and when it was inspected i was told both passenger side brakes were down to metal with no pads left. the dealer said something had failed causing the condition which was requiring more parts to be replaced. if we were farther from the dealer ( barber honda bakersfield) this could have resulted in complete brake failure is my understanding.
The vehicle had a sudden loss of function in: 1. road departure mitigation 2. collision mitigation 3. adaptive cruise control 4. braking system the vehicle was in motion at speed of 10-40mph, with air temperature of 28-32 degrees and snowy conditions. honda has repeatedly refused to investigate numerous, potentially sw/hw - related issues that have been manifesting themselves in other parts of the vehicle. what happened today was a new set of symptoms, but with much higher severity and no obvious precedent. i have already had to disable the lane departure and the collision avoidance systems on this vehicle due to their erratic behavior. however, in this case the messages that have come up (will attache photos) demanded that the vehicle be taken to the dealer and the errors and message did not go away upon multiple restarts of the vehicle. upon arrival to the dealer, it was indicated to me that honda is aware of some of the other issues i've been experiencing with the vehicle and still (months hence) does not have a fix, and that honda has, essentially, been resorting to testing their vehicle on the customers, ...
Rear brake pads are wearing quicker than the front, i barley have any life in the rear pads. (wearing out twice as fast as they normally should) just like what happened to the 2008-2010 accords. honda looked at the issue and completely ignored it, they told me its dangerous if i dont change them and they didnt say anything about them wearing out quick.
The brake system alert is flashing on the dashboard while vehicle in motion and there is no break issue. it appears to be a flawed collision mitigation brake system sensor as this keeps flashing across the dash in big bold letters and wont go off. i just bought this vehicle brand new 5 months ago. when turning car off and back on the message is still there and wont go away.
While driving on highway at 65 mph with cruise control on brakes suddenly applied themself nearly causing a vehicle to strike me in the rear .several alarms were displayed on dash first was adaptive cruise control second collision mitigation braking system third departure mitigation system problem all alarms said to see your dealer . i took pictures with my cell phone of all alarms displayed but i'm having difficulty uploading to report . i can send a attachment specific to the claim if needed or if a email could be given i would forward such.
When traveling at high speeds the brakes keep setting themselves. we were almost rear ended during one instance. the honda dealer has not been able to fix this very dangerous situation.
I went to the dealership for and oil change at 20,000 miles and was told that my rear pads were worn and needed to be replaced. the front pads are fine. this issue was recalled in 2010 and needs to be recalled again.
Collision mitigation system does not work; initial issue was warning systems went on with no one in front of car. second time brakes were applied to vehicle with no one in front of car, leading to car induced panic stop on road, thankfully, no one was trailing my car at that time. honda test drove and could not find anything; since this is sporadic, this was not surprising. told them it is a very dangerous condition and that this is a well documented complaint on websites; they told us we can turn off front mitigation collision system each time we drive. requested dealership general manager to report this condition to regional director at honda
My 2018 honda accord braked spontaneously for no reason. the word brake appears on the console and the car engages the brakes suddenly and forcefully. i've had several incidents and there were no vehicles or objects in front of my vehicle. during two episodes, i was driving 40 mph when my car braked spontaneously- it caused my head/neck to jerk forward. fortunately, the vehicles behind me did not tear end me. i called the dealership. they said the brake mitigation system engages when driving through construction zones and told me to turn off the system in construction zones. he said 'that's how the system is designed to work'. i was not in a construction zone. this is extremely dangerous. it appears honda is aware of the problem and is not taking steps to correct it.
I was turning right into the parking space for my car at my home with my foot resting on the brake pedal and going at a very slow speed. then suddenly the car accelerated on its own. i had to step hard on the brake, which made it veer to the right. i was able to make the car stop just short of hitting our other car. this happened once before about a month ago when i was driving in my driveway, again at a very slow speed, this time going straight, when the car accelerated for no reason. again, i was able to stop the car by slamming on the brakes.
