On 6/6/22 the car had multiple Alarms came on the dashboard (break sys prob, emission prob, road dept mit, collision mit, break sys prot, aac sys prob, hill start asst prob, break performance prob). 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.
My brakes and rotters had to be changed three times in one year. Honda serviced my vehicle and changed my brakes and rotters at 34000 miles. I had four new tires and a wheel alignment at 36000 miles. I took my car back to Honda for service at 37000 less than I year after Honda replaced the brakes and rotters. I explained that my steering wheel shakes when I hit the brakes. I was informed that I needed brakes and rotters again. Honda refused to replace the brakes and rotters because I was beyond the warranty. I explained that it was under a year since they did the work therefore it should be covered, they refused. I paid to have brakes and rotters replaced on my vehicle in December 2021. It-??s now April 2022 and my steering wheel is shaking again and I was informed that I need new breaks and rotters weeks after getting new brakes and rotters for the third time. I am a Honda fan and have drove and rooted for Honda for over 30 years. This experience has changed my perception of the reliable sedan that I once knew. The biggest issue is that Honda could care less about good customer service.
This vehicle has made sudden complete stops when there is no object or vehicle in front of it. This has occurred while being on a two lane road so no lane changing needed. It has made such a abrupt stop it has tightened the seat belts and sent a dog that was on the seat to the floor. I do alot of traveling on the highway and this could be very dangerous and cause a bad collision. Took to the dealer and was told nothing is perfect. I am very concerned of when it could happen.
Braking system- phantom braking happens with no vehicle or obstacles in front of my vehicle. Possible rear end collision. No warning lamps before braking occurs.

The emergency braking anti collision system will engage when I am driving and there is nothing in front of me, regardless if there is a car or even a shadow the system will start to engage. I've had this happen on multiple occasions whether driving on a highway or neighborhood street. This has not been inspected by anyone yet and has not yielded any damage or accidents just yet.
My vehicle randomly slams on the brakes without the touching the brake pedal. I-??ve taken to my local Honda and they state there is nothing wrong and can-??t fix anything if they see no warning lights
The car will automatically brake itself when no car in anywhere close to being in front of me. This only happens when I am going from the current lane to a left hand turn lane. It only happens when I do NOT have my blinkers activated. The braking does NOT happen when I use my blinkers. My best guess is the the use of the blinkers deactivates or overrides the sensors. This issue only happens at one particular turn near my house. I believe it has something to do with the lines painted on the road and how the sensors are reading them, but that is just a theory. This happens every time I drive by this intersection.
I purchashed the Honda Accord new and it has 17,800+ miles. As I am driving usually highway driving it just suddenly decides to brake without my foot on the brake pedal. There doesn't seem to be any regular pattern. It has happened several times always on the highway at speed. A week ago it happened on a Sunday morning, changed lanes to ge into the off ramp lane and without warning it applied the brake. Fortunately there was nobody behind me. Thank you and if I can provide any furthe information please let me know. I do think there should be a recall issued to fix the problem.
Driving on occasion the -??brake-?? warning sign lights up on dash (no one in front of me) in one instance last week it activated the brake system for me while I was driving on the highway. Again no car in front of me!
Has going 35mph when the car suddenly applied brakes full force. There was nobody or anything in front of the car. Got a warning massage about the cmbs and to see dealer. Scary stuff. It could cause me to get rear ended.
The automatic collision avoidance, braking system sometimes when it has brought to a near stop locks down. It happens when I am on cruise control and let the system slow me down. When this happens it won't bring me up to speed when the car in front of me pulls away. I have to give it some some gas to break free. It's happened several times over the last few months.
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.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the brakes applied independently for a brief moment. The contact stated the brake warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Randomly the car will just stop itself and it-??s happened several times on the freeway. It has happened while driving straight, exiting and in traffic. There-??s never something in front of me like another car, person or animal. It-??s happened more than 5 times when both my husband and I are driving.
While driving there was no vehicles in front of me, my car started flashing -??BREAK, BREAK, -?? and then the car completely stopped. There was a semi behind me, fortunately he was able to get into a different lane to avoid hitting me.
