Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

While diving at highway speeds (first at 55mph in may 2025 and then again in July 2025 at 65mph) I got a warning on screen about power loss and a critical failure and that power will be reduced and to stop at the side of the road. Within 30 seconds or a minute of the warning the car power cut out significantly impacting the speed and both times almost causing traffic behind me to hit me from behind. I took it to Honda dealership in dulles, va back in may 2025 and they told me it was the electric water pump which I had replaced. Now in July it happened again and this time I had my wife and child with me in the car as well as a guest. I had to pull over and all the warning lights started to flash (everyone of them). I have taken it back to Honda but having a car that goes from 65mph to 25mph on the highway with no warning to others is a recipe for disaster. Apparently this is a known issue with the hybrid system and the battery needs replaced (from online honda forums) which Honda is not doing unless forced. I am still waiting for my dealer to get back to me but its exactly the same problem as the other notes I saw online. My car only has 46,000 miles.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Potential Consequences:

The Collision Avoidance system activated twice for no reason. Inspection is available. I and my passenger were jerked by the rapid stop & could have been rear ended if anyone was behind me. The second event was in an intersection when I and the driver behind me were driving slowly. if the car behind wasn't alert, he or she could have collided with me. No one was travelling in front of me and yet the brake suddenly engaged. The dealership rep. did not confirm the problem after driving it 5 minutes. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms before the brake engaged in both instances.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

On several occasions and almost never under similar circumstances, my entire Brake System suddenly shows there is a problem and flashes warnings on my dashboard - parking brake, power steering, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, road departure systems - each systems shows there is a problem and says “see your dealer”. The first time it happened, I was driving on the interstate, and my only way of getting to safety was pulling off the road and trying to override the brakes manually to get my car to eventually stop. I had my car towed to the nearest Honda dealership the first and second times this happened. They assured me everything was fine or they would “restart my system”. The problem still exists, and it often leaves me stranded on the side of the road, in random parking lots, or just stuck at home unable to get to work.

On several occasions and almost never under similar circumstances, my entire Brake System suddenly shows there is a problem and flashes warnings on my dashboard - parking brake, power steering, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, road departure systems - each systems shows there is a problem and says “see your dealer”. The first time it happened, I was driving on the interstate, and my only way of getting to safety was pulling off the road and trying to override the brakes manually to get my car to eventually stop. I had my car towed to the nearest Honda dealership the first and second times this happened. They assured me everything was fine or they would “restart my system”. The problem still exists, and it often leaves me stranded on the side of the road, in random parking lots, or just stuck at home unable to get to work.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

Overnight while parked in the garage, the front windshield became cracked without signs of impact. The next night before I had even had the chance to bring it in for a scheduled inspection at the dealership, the crack spidered out to cover almost 15-20% of the windshield. When I took it into for inspection at the dealership, they also mentioned that it looked like there was no impact and the crack was internal to the glass. They agreed that it looked like the same situation as described in Honda TSB 20-118, but said that it could not be covered because it wasnt in the identified VIN range even though it looked like a similar situation described in the TSB.

The vehicle was taken into a certified Honda dealer and inspected. No “flags” or diagnostic issues found. The car was driven by the dealer. The issue wouldn’t reproduce. The dealer stated that they did find a large “smashed” bug on one sensor and wondered if it could have caused the issue. Prior to the vehicle initiating the panic stop, no indications of a event were posted on any device in the vehicle

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

Potential Consequences:

On 2 incidents, I've had the collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) issue driver warnings/alerts and automatically hit the brakes without warning when there are no obstacles in front of the vehicle and it has not deviated from its lane. Both incidents occurred during highway speeds. 1 incident was in a construction area where the car entered a steep decline and then rise as the construction was part of lane resurfacing. The 2nd incident was while driving over an overpass (not sure, but possibly a steep incline).
