Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
I will just be driving down the highway and sometimes the orange BRAKE light will light up and sometimes it will light up and just start slowing down. Several times I will be the only car moving thru an intersection with a green light and it will light up BRAKE and hit the brake. Not being ready to brake for no reason it throws us forward luckily we wear our seat belts, but I'm pretty sure safety equipment isn't supposed to do that.

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
I read about Investigation PE22-003 and wanted to add to that investigation. There’s a small hill near my house where the automatic braking system almost always tells me I’m about to crash. The brakes are never applied because I figure I crest the hill before I get close enough that it brakes for me. But it still doesn’t seem to work quite right.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Whilst driving on the freeway, on multiple occasions, the automatic emergency braking system of the car engaged even though there was no car near me whether in front, to the sides or behind. On one of the occasions the automatic breaks kicked in with no car around me or in front of me, I estimate I was travelling around 60 mph and the car immediately braked down straight to around 30-40 mph. If there had been a car travelling behind me I most certainly would have been rear ended. This issue is clearly a safety risk for myself and other drivers. Unfortunately, in my research online I haven't seen anything from Honda regarding this issue. I have not addressed this issue with the Honda dealer as per my research online from reports from other people with the same issue, the dealer doesn't do anything about the issue, therefore I haven't bothered taking the vehicle into the dealer. This braking issue occurred soon after I purchased the vehicle in February of 2018, within a month or two as I recall. There were no warning lamps or messages or symptoms prior to the problem ocurring.

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
Three or four times in the 4 years since we purchased our 2018 Accord Touring it has unexpectedly applied its brakes and illuminated the AEB (orange) warning light on the instrument cluster. This has happened when the car was being driven in heavy traffic at highway speeds and (the latest occurrence) when the car was stationary but traffic on each side was accelerating. Except for the time the car was stationary I could feel the car was being braked at a moderate rate and each time the dashboard instruments were lit up orange. Each time the event resolved by itself in a second or two and did not recure for months/years. I have not complained to the dealer as the symptom is so random.
