FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
Many times since I have purchased my 2018 Accord Touring 1.5T - I have found that sometimes my car will slam on the brakes when doing a lane change. I kind of found that It will do this if I dont have my turn signal indicator on. It is extremely stressful when it does this on the Interstate doing 65 or 70 MPH's. I try to slam the accelerator to the floor when this happens for fear of getting hit from behind. If this normal or a safety defect?

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
I had owned a 2018 Honda Accord which I had purchased in 2019. I had owned the car for about 6 months when the situation occurred. I had been about 30-50 before a railroad track and had already slowed down to 30-35 mph at this point. My dash lit up with the word 'brake' and the brakes went on automatically. There was nothing in front of me but the approaching train track which shouldn't set off the sensing function. I had a truck behind me which thankfully didn't hit me although he did blare his horn at me due to the unexpected braking. I went home and started looking online to see if other honda owners had similar experiences. There were stories from driving down the freeway going 70+ mph and having the same issue with nothing in front of them and coming to a complete stop to people having accidents because of the braking issues, etc. The next day, I called Honda and they stated that they were aware of the issues but were not planning on issuing a recall. I called the dealership and spoke to the manager and stated that I was going to return the car that day. He asked if they could check out the brake situation and I stated if Honda knows of the issue but is not planning a recall, then what is the mechanic at the dealership going to fix? I declined his offer and returned the car that evening. When I got to the dealership, the manager wouldn't even come and face me, which was another issue. I sunk money into a faulty car that I will never see back. I went to a different dealership and bought a different brand of car. To this day, if I see another Honda in front of me while driving, I let off of the gas because knowing the braking issue that I had, I don't want to be involved in an accident if they other Honda driver has braking issues.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
My car was purchased new in December 2018. It now has 119,231 miles on it. My problem is that my headlight warning lamps go on the minute I start my car, because moisture has somehow gotten into both headlight assemblies, which causes my headlights to stop working intermittently. I took my car to Keeler Honda in Latham New York to get it fixed, and they gave me a quote to replace two headlights in the amount of $3174.23. My car has never been hit nor has it ever been in an accident. And now I need to replace two headlights and I can’t believe how much money it’s going to cost me. I believe I have defective headlights, and although my car may be out of warranty, I think this is a design issue, and the cost to replace two headlights is unreasonable. I have attached pictures of the right and left front headlights, a picture of my dashboard warning light that comes on when I start my car, and a copy of the estimate I received from Keeler Honda in Latham New York for $3174.23. Just for the headlights alone, the cost is 2624.04. Who has that kind of money to replace 2 headlights? I wonder if I’m the only one with this issue. This is a serious SAFETY HAZARD when I’m on the road and my headlights turn off at night. What can I do? Thank you, Mark Febbie

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle gave me a warning for the emergency breaking and began to aggressively brake for no reason. This has happened to me three separate times. Case 1: There were no cars in front of me, a few cars behind but not too close. The vehicle slammed on the breaks from ~50mph to ~25mph aggressively. Thankfully I was not hit, only received a few angry honks from other drivers. Case 2: Driving on the highway at 60-65mph, vehicle slowed down to 30-35mph or so, i was afraid i was going to end up in the hospital if i caused a wreck. Cars were around in other lanes and nobody was in front of me in the 2nd lane. I got off the highway to take a few deep breaths, called the Honda Dealership in Ferndale, Michigan. Dropped my car off a few times to get it looked at, the service department was "unable to duplicate the event" and sent me on my way. I work in front camera modules/windshields releasing at another automotive company so i have experience with this item. I asked for my case to be forwarded to an engineer at honda to help explain the situation and to be connected to them, no luck. Case 3 similar to case 1, but a busier road. Distance was kept from vehicle in front, but my vehicle still decided to "break-check" the car behind me. This was a close one. Now, I typically drive the vehicle with the auto braking feature off (it may not be completely off but i turned it off from the steering wheel menu options). I own a 2018 Honda Accord EX-L 2.0t. All these cases happened around 28,000miles-40,000miles (two of three cases under warranty, vehicle was taken in 2-3 times during warranty and the last time the dearlership didn't even consider trying to find out the issue once they saw my history of already bringing it in). The front camera module camera void on the windshield was clean and clear 3of3 times, the grille had some dirt/residue 1of3 times which is what the dealership blamed it on. I have received no support for my claims, hence I am reporting it here. Disappointed...
Corrective Action:
The vehicle gave me a warning for the emergency breaking and began to aggressively brake for no reason. This has happened to me three separate times. Case 1: There were no cars in front of me, a few cars behind but not too close. The vehicle slammed on the breaks from ~50mph to ~25mph aggressively. Thankfully I was not hit, only received a few angry honks from other drivers. Case 2: Driving on the highway at 60-65mph, vehicle slowed down to 30-35mph or so, i was afraid i was going to end up in the hospital if i caused a wreck. Cars were around in other lanes and nobody was in front of me in the 2nd lane. I got off the highway to take a few deep breaths, called the Honda Dealership in Ferndale, Michigan. Dropped my car off a few times to get it looked at, the service department was "unable to duplicate the event" and sent me on my way. I work in front camera modules/windshields releasing at another automotive company so i have experience with this item. I asked for my case to be forwarded to an engineer at honda to help explain the situation and to be connected to them, no luck. Case 3 similar to case 1, but a busier road. Distance was kept from vehicle in front, but my vehicle still decided to "break-check" the car behind me. This was a close one. Now, I typically drive the vehicle with the auto braking feature off (it may not be completely off but i turned it off from the steering wheel menu options). I own a 2018 Honda Accord EX-L 2.0t.

I called Honda Valley Stream informing them of the above. Got appt 6/8 I was told I would need to leave the car on 6/8 appt. On 6/8 approx 4pm rec a call from them to come get the car. Alarms only needed to be reset and rear camera recall was done. Next day all the alarms plus a few other returned. I went back and forth with Manger. I left the car Sat 6/11.Told it was injection fluid that's covered under warranty. Then later the manager called that it was CO2 built up and $413 to clean and take care of the problem. I paid for it and picked up the car. 6/15 during the day I noticed a problem with the steering and that car kept moving into the other lane , this got worst if I had to use the break. Later that night an alarm for Supplemental Restraint System. Ive notified Honda of Valley Stream of this new issue. Awaiting a resolution.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
Three times now I have been driving with no obstructions in front of me and the Automatic Emergency Braking System has flashed "BRAKE" on the dash and then slammed the brakes on. One of the times, I was on the freeway going approximately 60 mph. Everything on the seat next to me went flying and my seatbelt locked, hurting me (I did not see a doctor as it was not necessary). There were no cars or obstructions in front of me. This could have caused a bad accident had someone been behind me at the time. The other two times, people were able to brake in time so as to not cause an accident. This was terrifying. I took it to our local Honda dealership and they simply said everything looks fine and maybe the sensor was dirty. My car was clean at the time on the freeway, and I don't recall if it was the other two times. I did not have my insurance or police look over the car as there was no accident and no need to contact them. But the actual dealership DID look over the car. It all happened suddenly with no warning and no need. The only "warning lamp" was it flashing "BRAKE" on the dash immediately before it slammed on the brakes each time.
