Automatic sensor braking comes on while driving, there are no other cars around or object. While driving the brakes come on and the warning light on the dashboard, there are no cars in front of me or to the side. The car jerks as the brakes are automatically applied, while my foot is on the gas pedal. Then the brake is released, the whole event takes seconds. In fact it has happened when there has been no cars in sight. It has happened mostly on local roads going 45-50 miles, but has occured on a highway going around 65 mph. Purchased car in 2018, starting happening in 2019 and continues untill today. When I told Honda service, they said maybe the sensor for the braking system was dirty. I am concerned an accident will happen, if the brakes go on and there is no car in front but a car in back, its unsafe.
The rear brake are completely worn out at 38K miles and the front pads are fine. Dont understand whybthe rear would wear out faster than the front. There was sever damage done to the rear rotator a D had to get replaced.
2018 Honda Accord- purchase car in Sept 2018, in November 2019 inching forward to see clearly to make a left turn, oncoming car to my right, stepped on the brakes and nothing, no brakes and lots of warnings on the dash. Panicked but was able to steer the car out of harms way and push ignition to stop. Happened again in December 2019, same scenario as above. Honda repaired brake booster. Occurred again in September 2020 at freeway speeds, changing lanes about to exit freeway in rush hour traffic, Honda replaced brake booster. Occurred again February 2021 on the streets. Car currently at Honda. Fluid leaking into the brake master cylinder. Honda about to replace brake booster and what they call a collector. No confidence in this car. Honda will not consider a buy back.
I was coming to a stop sign signal left and I was pressing the brake lightly to come to complete stop and the was a car turn into my street the opposite lane though and he turned my car slam stop unexpectedly causing my passi G to jerk and I hard strain our necks! whip lash over nothing so dangerous! also one time entering the highway I slow or was coming to a stop for nothing! swnsor is off!
Replaced rear brake pads 11-8-2019 at 32,223 miles. Replaced rear brake pads and rotors 2-3-2021 at 56,679 miles. They have a problem again. They had the same problem with the 2009 Accord.

When I went to the Honda dealer in 2019 to change my oil, they have said that my rear brake pads need to be replaced even though I have had the vehicle for a couple of months. It was very bizarre to me as the car is fwd and the engine is in the front, thus making more stress on the front brake pads instead of the rear brake pads. Other Honda Accord 2018-2020 owners have complained of this same issue and I hope it can be resolved as it seems that the rear brake pads wear off too fast. The car was stationary at the time of notice.
Front brakes and rotors had to be replaced because they warped really early. Back brakes and rotors had to be replaced also because of noise sounding like scrapping.
Driving on I-65 at 70mph (my cruise was set along with acc and lkas). System worked with no issues for ~200 miles. When this happened, the car in front of me slowed down, and my car started slowing down as well. Out of the blue, as I got closer, I got this error in my dash, collision mitigation braking system problem see your dealer. It took a second for me to realize that my car was no longer slowing down. Fortunately I still had enough distance to press on my brakes before hitting the back of the car in front of me.
Rear brake pads are wearing out way faster than the front. Seems it is some type of manufacturing defect. I found out many other owners of this model have the same issue and was informed if enough people file this complaint, they may offer a remedy or recall to correct this issue.
The ads breaking error comes on and the car won't start- this is the 3rd time and is a constant problem for this year- the steering wheel locks up this is very dangerous. This has happened moving and stationary. Honda says it is a simple error my car has less that 30K miles N this is a constant issue
The 2018 Accord have a system called "brake hold" which is intended to engage the braking system while a vehicle is stopped at, say, a stop-light. The intent seems to be to allow the driver to have their foot on the gas, instead of the brake pedal. The brake hold system frequently has an issue where it allows the vehicle to creep. This, generally, seems to happen in colder temperatures. Another, pattern of behavior is when the vehicle has been brought to a slow roll, then stopped (using the brake pedal) and as soon as the brake pedal is release, the brake hold system fails to hold the vehicle in the stopped position. After a significant delay, the brake system is engaged, but the vehicles had, at that point, lurched forward several inches, if not over a foot. This indicates (just as with the collision mitigation system delays, discussed in other complaints) that there is a significant issue with the timing of the control system utilized in the brake hold, the sensor(s) or both, where the system fails to detect the conditions in real time and reacts in a delayed manner. Again, as with other issues on the later Honda models, Honda has failed to perform comprehensive troubleshooting of the issue (even after me taking the vehicle to the dealer as indicated by Honda. This is a complaint for a separately occurring instance.

Passenger rear brake pad on caliper side is worn to wear indicator. All other pads front and rear are normal. Caliper appears to be faulty as it was locked into position against rotor and only that pad was worn
The brake rotors corrode prematurely. The vehicle was purchased in January 2018 and the rotors were replaced in November 2019 with 18,000 miles of use. The replacement rotors - genuine Honda installed by dealer - are corroding and will need to be replaced. Mileage is now 23,000. The vehicle is kept in a garage.

On two occasions when parked and in accessory mode for a few minutes all dashboard and exterior lights began flashing wildly and brake system failure warning appeared. On both occasions the engine would not start. After exiting the car and returning later, the car started as normal.
A few months I started have a problem withe the my car.I let my car for short time like less than one hour with the emergency lights on..but the engine was off (the car was stationary). So when I was about to leave from the place where I were I star the engine and it didn't work and all the light go on like crazy and 3 message showed on the screen that said it was safety to drive and there's a problem with the break system problem, anti-break system problem and tire pressure monitor system. So I called the dealer and they told me that maybe it was something wrong with the battery so they told to turn off and turn the engine on again and they told me that he drives it for a certain time and all the lights on the dash go out and since maybe it was because of the high temperatures we had. But it was like that I mean the car is still running "good" but I'm not fell safety.I already took the the dealer where I bought and first time they didn't do anything because all the light go out so they said they didn't found anything so the second time the happened the same thing I recorded a video and photos so I show them an the way the star doing a full check of everything so they didn't found any thing and still appears those 3 message a when I star the engine not all the time but they didn't fixed anything and they don't want to change for R another car..I dont know what to
