This car almost killed me on highway while driving 70 miles/h it decided to tap breaks by itself(slow down) the gas pedal would not respond it was not any car in front of me.i took it to a dealer they restarted the system said everything it's fine now but did not fixed the problem the same day i had the same issue with it.i don't feel safe driving in it.
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 looked at it . the dealership called me back a stated"there was some gunk on your censor and that cause this to happen and they cleaned it off it was fine" but if the censor is on the front off the csr and gunk makes it not work surely this will happen again. i no longer feel safe nor will i allow my wife to operate this vehicle.
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 repositioning the car and the engine is on, and the brake assist/anti-collision falsely activating when nothing is directly in the path of the car. all of these happen while the car is operating on city streets and highways.
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, instead of more rigorous pre-release testing, instead choosing to use the dealers as a quasi-test/r&d department. the multiple safety system failure i experienced today is a pretty clear indication of that. i have filed another complaint with nthsa related to the other issues and would urge you to initiate a recall on all of the honda accords (and possibly odysseys and pilots as they share some of the sub-systems) for the 2018, 2019 and the coming 2020 models.
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.
When driving down the highway and higher mph (50+) roads, generally but not always with the cruse control on, the brakes suddenly apply themselves very hard causing the car to become a sitting target for cars coming from behind. this has happened a multitude of times and when it was taken to the dealer with a complaint about it they kept the car but returned it saying they couldn't find anything to repair.
Multiple errors involving vehicle's collision mitigation braking system (cmbs). cmbs system fails regularly (approximately every 120 miles of driving) during routine use at freeway speeds. system failure shuts down adaptive cruise control (acc), collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) and displays error to "see your dealer".
I was driving on express way on 7/5/19 early morning. the car shake and slow down all of the sudden. i would be killed if there's a car behine me. i pulled to the curb, and try to restart the car and go, but it keeps shakung in the beginning. so i called honda for tow truck, that a leased car. but later i tried again, it seems the car could go, so i drove home. check engine light was on for few days, and the transmission couldn't shift smoothly since then. looks like a lemon. only 9000 miles on the car. i have more pictures about the problem but the system won't allow me to upload more than 5
When driving with cruise control and forward collision avoidance system enabled the car will at random times apply the breaks when there is nothing in front of the vehicle. so far this has happened during interstate driving approximately 2-4 times in the first 10,000 miles of ownership.
Today i was driving home, doing 45 miles per hour. this is a two lane road, there were no cars near me. suddenly, the car beeped twice, the brake sign came on the dashboard and the car stopped violently. the seat beat locked down across me. thankfully there was no one behind me. my neck and right shoulder are now hurting. the incident happened a mile from my home. my husband called the honda dealer when i got home to report the incident. this is the third incident since we purchased the vehicle, but this time was a more violent stop. each time there was nothing in front or beside the car. thankfully, each time no other car was directly behind me.
Today 06-26-19 i was driving about 5mph out of a parking lot going very slow, i was ready to turn onto a road that is not busy at all, out of nowhere my car brakes locked violently suddenly. the brake light alert went off as well, when there was nothing in front of my. not a car, not a person, absolutely nothing. my car stopped so hard that it jerked my neck. i have googled this and there are multiple complaints from people about this issue. i feel very unsafe & afraid to drive my car now, especially when i have to drive 60 miles on the interstate to my job. i'm not sure if other owners of this make, model and year have reported this issue. please find out what's going on with my car.
Car applies brakes while in forward motion. this only occurs when the cruise is set. i have noticed this happens when the sun is shining into the car. there have been a few times the car has applied the brakes, when attempting to overtake another car. twice the car has applied the brakes when there are markings on the highway such as a school zone. i have taken the car to a honda dealer, and they have not been able to find the source of the problem.
As i was driving approximately 35 miles per hour the car's brakes engaged violently. there were no cars in front, behind or on either side. this was the second time in less than two weeks this occurred. i took the car to the dealership and they stated nothing was wrong.
Collision mitigation, lane assist, road departure, and brake system malfunction before vehicle is a year old causing vehicle to leave roadway when using speeds in excess of 50 mph preventing vehicle from stopping, and/or causing steering wheel to "alert" you of lane departure while driving properly also causing vehicle to "steer" into side of 18 wheeler while traveling speeds in excess of 60mph for interstate travel with passengers in tow. has happened for roughly 7,000 miles. when brought to honda to be fixed, was told it was not covered under vehicle warranty due to having "clips" broken off of front sensor. was accused of sensor being hit by something yet no sign of damage. honda refused to have this fixed and simply "cleared" the alerts causing vehicle to not have use of any safety features but also not show any maintenance codes as well. honda service manager stated something as simple as a "junebug" can cause this to malfunction and that is why customers carry collision with insurance. states alot about honda's quality if a simple junebug can cause an entire $30,000 vehicles safety features to malfunction and a service manager not want to comply with safety standards due to some 2$ broken clips that can break by simply driving down a louisiana roadway. what does this state about these vehicles up north dealing with snow with a sensor that sits underneath the front bumper?
Purchased new 2018 honda accord sport from dealership. while driving the vehicle it will brake with no warning and anything in sight. we see to experience this issue almost on a weekly basis. the vehicle is currently at the dealership for the 3rd time since march. of course they say they can't replicate the issue and until can't do anything about it. the service manager continually try's to refer us to the owner's manual and stands firm that this is part of the brake mitigation safety system and is "normal". i have personally been driving the vehicle on the highway at roughly 70mph on a clear day with no vehicles in sight, no road construction, straight highway, not merging on or off the road and the system lock down with three children in the backseat. most recently my girlfriend was driving the vehicle and the brake system locked down causing a gentlemen to swerve off the road to avoid hitting her in the rear end. i'm sick of hearing excuses from honda and the dealership! this is not a safety feature, this is a very dangerous issue. i have been told by the service manger the system can be cut off but i should not have to cut off a "safety" feature on a brand new car with less than 40k miles. i have seen hundreds of complaints on line regarding this issue and i certainly hope it doesn't take someone being killed before honda corrects this issue. i have documented six occurrences of the braking system locking down just in the past month. i have also spoke with honda certified techs & service writers whom have all stated they're aware of the issue and no fix is currently available. if so i suggest honda purchase this 2018 honda accord back!
My vehicle was in motion at 35 mph with no traffic ahead of me and one vehicle to the driver-side rear. with no obstructions in the road or traffic ahead of my vehicle for at least a half mile, the emergency braking system activated flashing a "brake" warning light on the dashboard and locked the brakes causing my vehicle to come to a quick and complete stop in live traffic. attempts to override the system by applying pressure to the accelerator pedal failed to correct the problem. i estimate that it took between two to three seconds before the system disengaged and i was able to accelerate again to operating speed, narrowly avoiding a collision.
Three times now i have had the emergency breaks activate for no reason. no one was injured the first time as the vehicle was moving very slow. the second time this happened though, i was injured. i was driving approx. 45 mph down a busy street when the car stopped without warning and for no apparent reason. i was nearly rear-ended. not only did this scare me, but i was in extreme pain afterwards. when the pain got worse and i developed bruising on my neck i went to see a specialist and he confirmed that i have whiplash. when i spoke to the mechanic at the dealership i was told that the sensor is just sensitive. they checked it out but offered no solution. i have kept the feature turned off since this happened. the third time it happened with the feature disabled. my son was in the car with me. we were both shaken up pretty badly. i am now scared to drive this car. every time the dash lights up for any reason, i flinch. i have had to miss work due to the injuries that i received. i am a single mom to five kids, i cannot afford to miss work due to poor design and engineering of this vehicle. i bought this car thinking that this feature was a safety feature. it has certainly proven to be the opposite!
Have automatic braking and lane assist driving. brakes on its own with nothing in front. happened twice. dealer calls it a glitch. i call it very dangerous. police officer was behind me when it happened last. good thing he had good reflexes and the speed limit was only 45 mph i was in the center of my lane with no obstructions, no vehicles coming from the opposite direction. turned off the program and haven't used it since. service department said would have to keep car and test drive until it occurred. i will do this, but am afraid they will be keeping the car for awhile because it happens out of the blue. it's happened twice in a period of two months. i have had the car for four months. another problem..paint is spotting on car like it was hit with acid. had protective wax put on the week i purchased it. vehicle has 3500 miles on it. paint also shows tons of orange peel. i paid a lot for this model. expected more.
I purchased a new 2018 honda accord sport june of 2018. i have had my car into honda more than 7 times for the same issue with the brake mitigation system. the car brakes on its own with no reason. honda said it could be an air freshener hanging on the rear view mirror, bugs, rain, snow, and even a shadow from a bridge. they say every time i have brought it in that no errors come up in the system so they reset the computer and say it is operating as the vehicle is designed to. i have been in a 75mph or more zone on multiple occasions and the car will brake down to 40 or less in an instant. it sends everything in my vehicle flying. honda denied a honda buy back because they did a system update for the brake mitigation system that has not been released to the public yet. they are clearly aware of the issue and how dangerous it is but they expect me to continue to drive it. i am too scared to drive this vehicle with the possibility of injuring myself or someone else. please remove these vehicles from the roads!
Collision mitigation braking system problem which causes the adapted cruise control to deactivate itself all of a sudden when driving in high or low speed traffic, happens on highway or regular street, all kinds of weather conditions from rain to sunshine. very scary especially while going on i-95 in high traffic that is all moving very fast. has happened at least a dozen if not more times and the dealership could not find a resolution. taking it again next wednesday 5/15/19.
On 2018 honda accords the adaptive cruise control which is standards on all trim levels, does not brake the vehicle to maintain the set speed when going downhill. this is odd since the vehicle will apply brakes to maintain speed if there's a vehicle in front of the car, but on downhills all it will do is make several downshifts to try and maintain the speed. every other car i've driven that has adaptive cruise control will apply brakes to keep the vehicle speed from increasing in an uncontrolled manner. of course if you tap the brakes yourself cruise control is disabled. a simple software update would resolve this issue.
During stop and go traffic, car braked causing the person behind me to rear-end me. this had happened one other time before, luckily the car behind me wasn't following too closely and i was going less than 30mph. a couple weeks after that while going highway speeds and wet road conditions, a warning light came on stating there was a problem with the collision mitigation braking system and to see dealer. once that warning comes on cruise control also disengages. this warning light has come on one other time, while driving highway speeds with dry road conditions. if the car is restarted the warning resets and all systems are up and functioning again.
On multiple occasions, while driving on the highway, my 2018 accord has unexpectedly braked when there was no object/car in front of me. when there is car stopped in front of me, the sensors do not kick in for emergency assisted braking. something is definitely not right with this car.
I purchased my cars about 4 months ago and noticed some issues as soon as i left the dealership. first there's no mileage digital speedometer, only kilometer. as soon as you switch to miles it disappears. second, the car play system often times resets itself while in driving mode , also happens a lot when gear is shifted. third, lane sensor system is completely defected as well and cannot be trusted for a second, the worst is the car pool lane, in california is a yellow lane and the car automatically pulls towards it. it obviously cannot detect yellow lines. today something new happened and completely changed the game for me : the car emergency breaks were activated by nothing and out of nowhere while i was driving on 90 mph !!!!!!! all my stuff were thrown from the back seat to the front and i got seriously injured by the seat-belt that was pushed against me! let me make it clear...there were zero cars before me or around me ! thank god for no cars behind me or this citation could have ended differently. i drove the car to the dealership and left the keys over there till they figure it our or give me a different car. i'm scared to go back driving it.
I engaged acc, that controls cruise control and frontal collision ,mitigation system, in normal traffic. while travelling at a speed of 60 miles per hour, following another car the spacing was controlled by acc. the car in front of me continued forward, my braking system engaged and caused me to go from 60 mph to about 35 mph. the vehicle to my rear had to take an evasive maneuver to avoid an accident. i saw no road debris. i pulled over to check the radar unit and the camera system. no issues observed. during this trip the acc went offline 3 times down to sc and twice it failed driving back home. each time i was in traffic and caused issues as the system was trying to manage my speed in traffic.
Electronic braking system error popped up, which suggested taking the car to a dealership. the car was parked for 2 days and the engine would not start with this error.
On 2 separate occasions my car's automatic collision mitigation system has engaged without notice and any reason. there was nothing in front of my car and the car braked suddenly while i was driving 45 mph. the last time this happened i was thrown forward and back with a jerk. since then i've been experiencing lower neck and shoulder pain. i disengaged the collision mitigation system and will take the car into the dealership for diagnosis.
I've had the car for 4 months, and the car has come to a stop three times on a busy state route at rush hour, and once on a street when the road expanded from one lane to two. i am now turning the cmbs off every time i get in the car. however, the braking system still engaged! i must cross over a solid white line to access the freeway, and i'm scared that the car will stop there every day. one day was bright and sunny out, one day was dark before sunrise, one day was cloudy and overcast. in all cases, the road was straight and dry.
When driving my car and i applying the brakes, the initial bite of the brakes fells like the car is not stopping as it should after applying the brake pedal further then it stats stopping very hard it almost feels like if i'm brake checking the person behind me, almost got in to a couple of collisions because of it and also almost have gotten rear end it because of it.
Today was the second time that my car applied brake by itself when i was driving 65 mph on the freeway and there was no cars in front of me. to mention that my 2018 honda accord has the automatic brake system but i got use to how it works its nice , but sometimes it applies brake for no reason and its scary because this system disconnect the gas padel when applied and its scary and unsafe when it is acting weird and applying brake when its not necessary ( vin:(xxxx) ). thank you parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Cmbs problem... was driving on the highway yesterday when the "collision mitigation breaking system" light came on and that disabled the acc i was using. nothing particular happened, maybe i was braking at the time. i arrived at destination. turn the car off and back again right away to see the warning light disappear and everything back to normal. i thought i was ok but it happened few hours later on the way back in the same circumstances.
I was driving on the freeway when the traffic came to a sudden stop and my emergency collision mitigation braking kicked in. i proceeded to press the brakes myself and the computer automatically locked the brakes and would not release for nearly seven seconds. i was completely stopped on the freeway and almost rear-ended due to the brakes not releasing. i pressed the gas several times and press the brakes to try to release it but nothing worked until the brakes eventually released themselves about 7 seconds later.
I have experienced a failure in the aac system almost resulting in a front collision. i was on the interstate the other afternoon with aac and lkas engaged on my 2018 accordt touring with 18000 miles it was 89f i was in traffic but cruising at a steady 65 mph when the traffic in front of me started to slow. it was at this moment that the dashboard threw the error message "collision mitigation braking system error. please see your dealer." luckily was able to apply brakes almost has a crash went home and the next morning error was gone did again when i driving few weeks later and recently on february 15th 2019 i almost had another crash because of the same issue went to the dealer they hold the car for 1 and half week can't find any issue and got car back on march 8th after driving 5-6 miles got same problem turn off the car and turned on again after driving another 7-8 miles same problem called the dealer they want me to bring the car back when the message still appearing on the screen other way they telling to take risk of crashing car before they can help me called honda customer service got same response
On 2/14/19, i was driving on a city street in a straight line at approximately 40mph. the car ahead of me stopped. i stepped on the brake and instantly the dashboard warnings lit up - adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, and the brake - and the brake did not work so i could not stop. i rear-ended the car in front of me doing significant damage to the front of my car. the warnings were still visible after the crash and i took pictures of the dashboard as best as possible. the warnings say something about system not working and to see a dealer. the same warnings appeared on 2/13/19 in the afternoon but disappeared on 2/14/19 in the morning. other warnings of safety systems not active have appeared due to ice/slush but then cleared when the sensors were cleared, but these new warnings are different. at least twice, maybe three times in the past few months, the car would suddenly brake and slow down with nothing in the road or in front of the car. my bluetooth connectivity worked fine for first 2-3 months but then stopped and i couldn't reconnect the phone over the past two months. it seems like more than one system/electronics problem and seems like the warnings appeared at the same time as the brake not working as if it was more than an alert but a system (systems) no longer functioning at all. the brake worked after the accident when the car was restarted.
My collision mitigation system randomly fails which pops up an alert and disables my adaptive cruise control and automatic braking. it has happened various times when adaptive cruise control has been engaged with different environemental situatuons (day and night, sunny and cloudy). turning off the engine and restarting typically corrects the issue for a time but it continues to fail intermently.
After my "brake system" light came on and the dealership denied it even though i had record of it, my car decided to see how fast it could hit the brakes. i was driving on the us-60 in phoenix, arizona with adaptive cruise control on, traveling at 65 mph during morning rush hour, so it's still dark, on a 6 lane freeway. i can see brake lights far ahead, so i lightly tap my brakes to disengage acc and slightly slow the car down. the car had other plans and the brakes completely locked up like it was using the emergency braking for collision mitigation' but no warning/info showed on the dashboard as it normally does when emergency systems engage. so basically my car decided it wanted to slam on its brakes in the middle of a busy freeway, near bumper to bumper traffic, all because i lightly touched the brakes-- it was not abrupt, it was not a hard push... it was literally to turn off acc. i watched the rear view mirror as the suv behind me was about to put my trunk in the engine compartment, but thankfully they were able to swerve into the hov lane next to us. they barely missed me and if that open spot was not there for them, i'd likely be seriously injured or dead. honda has ignored my messages and it's time to let our government know this car has issues.
Collision mitigation braking system problem,car brakes by its self ,was driving at 75mph and car slamed on brakes to 35 on us 71 almost caused an accident. also monitor on dash that has home ,nav,audio settings shuts off by its self and reboots.braking problem happens on cruise control and normal driving. i photo the dash 5 times when collision mitigation went off in a 5000 mile period .
In the states where it snows, the car collects large amounts of snow on the front, and knocks out the radar system for the lane departure detection system, witch also is for the braking system, that helps with cruise control and any close encounters. i am not sure if it actually affects the cruise control because in the snow is not a time to use it.
1) when depressing the brake in motion or from a parked position there is a 'clicking' noise that happens intermittently. it sounds like a gear is stuck or something is stuck. it doesn't happen every time but it happens often enough that it is noticeable and does not sound like a normal noise. 2) honda sensing light will flash even when no object is approaching and will continue to flash.
While driving on the interstate at approximately 40mph in heavy traffic the following warning indicator appeared, "collision mitigation braking system problem. see your dealer." the vehicle was in motion at the time and the brakes had not been applied. this did go out after turning the car off and restarting it. i took it to a honda dealer but they would not help since the warning message went off. however, it appears others are having similar issues as i am and nothing is being done to address or correct it.
