FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
The car’s Collision Mitigation system stops working for no reason, causing me to completely lose my cruise control until I can turn off the car and restart it. This has happened in stop-and-go traffic on the Interstate while the car is under the control of the adaptive cruise control as well as while driving down the road with absolutely no other cars around me. Suddenly the system cuts off and the Collision Mitigation Warning message comes on. The Honda dealership has no response to this. I have had the car since September 2021, and this occurs approximately 3 times per month.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
Quite simply we were driving through a construction zone that was down to one lane with monitored traffic. My wife was driving and approaching a steel plate in the road that was laid on top of existing asphalt. While slowing down to move over the plate at a slower rate of speed the automatic breaking brought the car to an unnecessary stop almost causing a collision from behind. This was super scary and alarming. Will this happen if we are going 35, 55, 70 mph?

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle on two separate occasions has out of the blue completely engaged in an automatic emergency braking when there is no reason to and no other vehicles on the road. Most Recently I went to merge on the highway, there was no traffic infront of me and it was sunny and daytime. The vehicle engaged the emergency braking very aggressively and my car went from 65-35 quickly. There was a car and semi truck behind me I could see in my rear view mirror, they almost ran into the back of me. In the moment I tried hitting the gas pedal to speed back up while braking was still happening and the car would not allow me to accelerate or speed up until the ‘braking’ portion was over. This is happened numerous times going on on ramps and then randomly driving down the road, and not when there’s a reason to emergency brake. Three months ago when I got the vehicle I was driving down the highway and the system randomly disengaged and every single warning light for the braking system and Ford collision came on. I pulled over and called Honda, when I restarted the car all of the lights and everything went away. I’m in multiple Honda Accord groups and apparently this is a very common issue with these cars just wanted to add that as well

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Two times while driving on the highway at 75-80 mph with CMBS system on and utilizing ACC. Out of nowhere, vehicle drops speed, ACC OFF notice comes on and an alert stating Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem. See dealer pops up. . At this point, I have to quickly react to increase speed on gas pedal and avoid someone hitting me from behind. I am not able to re-engage the ACC the remainder of the travel. After turning off the vehicle, the CMBS resets and ACC is available again. This is not possible to do while driving on a highway. The second time it happened, I was changing lanes into the passing lane on left and I seriously could have been hit due to my speed deceleration. I took the vehicle straight to the dealer and the guy checking me in said they get a lot of those system errors. This is not reassuring! They ran a diagnostic, step by step the advisor said, only to say the system shows no issue. This is not acceptable to me as I do not feel safe driving. In addition, the lane keeping assist LKAS feature also malfunctions. When there are shadows on the road, my car wants to swerve and steer me incorrectly. My car also will display a giant orange BRAKE warning when nothing is in front of me. One time it braked so hard that my seatbelt locked up and everything on my passenger seat slid off the seat. Thankfully, nobody was immediately behind me because I could have been hit for the sudden and unanticipated braking.

After turning off the vehicle, the CMBS resets and ACC is available again. This is not possible to do while driving on a highway. The second time it happened, I was changing lanes into the passing lane on left and I seriously could have been hit due to my speed deceleration. I took the vehicle straight to the dealer and the guy checking me in said they get a lot of those system errors. This is not reassuring! They ran a diagnostic, step by step the advisor said, only to say the system shows no issue. This is not acceptable to me as I do not feel safe driving. In addition, the lane keeping assist LKAS feature also malfunctions. When there are shadows on the road, my car wants to swerve and steer me incorrectly. My car also will display a giant orange BRAKE warning when nothing is in front of me. One time it braked so hard that my seatbelt locked up and everything on my passenger seat slid off the seat. Thankfully, nobody was immediately behind me because I could have been hit for the sudden and unanticipated braking.
