When my 2019 Honda Accord Sport makes high speed changes, the brakes will automatically start aggressive braking enough to cause a rear end collision. Driving on the interstate and no cars in front of me and then suddenly the braking system aggressively brakes the car. Very dangerous.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50-60 MPH, the automatic braking system was applied temporarily. An unknown warning light appeared and the vehicle started making a beeping sound. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred twice while a truck was passing the vehicle on the driver-??s side at night. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to bring the vehicle to their location for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
While driving the vehicle will just suddenly stop on its own there will be nothing in front of the vehicle. This has started to become a serious problem it first start happing last year but now is happening more often. When taking to the shop they find nothing wrong with the vehicle. No warning lamps or messages. I have not had any other problems with the vehicle.

Vehicle will brake suddenly even if nothing in front. it has done this several times on the highway and feel this could be an accident hazard as it could brake suddenly and cause someone to rear collide the vehicle.

I regularly had issues with the automatic braking system. On 11/2/2020 I was driving on the highway and the braking system automatically engaged, causing me to swerve and hit a semi-truck. This resulted in a total loss to the vehicle and ongoing back pain.
Brake light warning comes and with nothing in front or near me and on occasion it engages the brakes. Also the lane keep assist also goes off when I-??m in the middle of a lane and going straight. I have had various electrical problems like this since week one of getting the car, and the dealer or Honda can never explain any of this
Several times for no reason the AEP (Automatic Emergency Braking) light on my 2019 Honda Accord came on and the car started to stop. These events occurred in January-February 2022.
For more than the past two years I have been experiencing unexpected braking while driving my 19 Accord. There have been probably 20-30 random incidents....generally when I am changing lanes..I think? The braking lasts for 2-3 seconds and then all returns to normal. This has happened when other cars are near and when there is no other car ahead or behind. On at least a couple occasions I received a nasty horn from the car behind me due to my unexpected braking and more than once an uncomplimentary comment from my wife about my driving skill. Several times I feared being rear ended. I explained this braking action as my failure to use the turn signal when changing lanes. Upon reconsidering and after reading the recent NHTSA alert, this is a sensor/software problem in the ESC/Emergency Braking system. Please give this issue your prompt attention. I am the retired engineering manager of the braking system subsidiary of HONDA MOTORS.
At approximately 16:08 EST on Jan 1, 2022 I was traveling westbound on I-76 at mile marker 146.9 WB (40?02'03.0"N 78?29'50.0"W) in the center lane on a straight section of road at approximately 70mph. Car mileage was 21264 at the time of the crash. The weather at the time of the crash was light rain and with temperature approximately 50F. The car suddenly and for no apparent reason began skidding / fishtailing. I tried steering to regain control of the vehicle and applying the brakes to slow down, but the car continued fishtailing. I did not feel the anti lock brakes engage at any point during the skid. I went into the left lane, and struck the center concrete barrier, causing the airbags to deploy and the car to come to rest in the left lane. 3 symptoms appeared the day of the crash which had never happened before: 1) Several hours before the crash, the vehicle began handling strangely. It felt like there was either steering or brake input from the land keeping assist / adaptive cruise control / traction control systems which was "fighting" me and causing the vehicle to swerve slightly. These handling anomalies occurred randomly about 10 times immediately before the crash. 2) About 2 hours before the crash, the check engine light began flashing and there was a loss of engine power. I pulled over and restarted the car, which seemed to resolve the check engine light / power loss. 3) At one point the adaptive cruise control turned itself off and gave a message about traction conditions. To my knowledge the problem has not been confirmed or reproduced, and the vehicle has not yet been inspected by Honda, my insurer, or anyone else. As of Jan 6, the vehicle is currently in a yard near Altoona PA awaiting assessment, and is available for inspection upon request. I informed Honda about the crash on Jan 6, 2022. They gave me a case number and said to work through my insurer on next steps. Honda service bulletin 21-052 may be relevant to this incident.
Collision mitigation braking system is braking my car at least 4xs when there is nothing on the road in front of me. Luckily there wasn't a car behind me. I was driving each time about 40 miles/he. Took my car to Davis Honda in Burlington County on Aug.6 2021 and they stated to me there was a piece of debri in the multi purpose camera which was cleaned out by them. Otherwise nothing came up in computer check. I believe there is a class action suit against Honda for this problem.
Rear passenger side outside brake pad wear out much faster than the other 7 brake pads on the car. It worn out completely at 33k miles and the rotor and brake pad was metal on metal, because of this both had to be replaced.
I purchased my Honda Accord sport last month and had no issues 5,000 miles on it. But as I've been driving it the brakes are not operating as they should way too sensitive and is not a smooth process as it should be the slightest pressure makes it jolt forward. On idle my rpms start to lower then go up I don't believe this should be happening. I don't know if it's a vacuum leak, fuel pump or spark plugs but there is an issue.
30636 miles currently, just took my Honda to dealer to get recall and they did a mpi and said my rear brakes are at 2 mm. The Accord is pretty much highways driven and shouldn't need rear brakes this soon.
At 25,000 miles, took car in for routine maintenance, recall 20-039, acc malfunction, and hazard mitigation warning light on dashboard. During inspection on vehicle by technician, was found that front brakes were at 7 mms and rear brakes were at 0 mms. Rear brake pads were completely worn down and rotors were rusted and beyond any repair. Technician and service manager said this was "normal." Honda corporation would not do anything about it. In talking to several outside mechanics and my knowledge of brake repair, all agree that rear brakes should not completely wear out before front brakes at 25,000 miles. The Honda mechanic stated that doing the recall of reprogramming the BCM would correct problem with acc - adaptive cruise control. This re-programming did not correct the acc problem and actually made it inoperable. We have follow-up appointment to look at acc problem. Dealer said if it happens again, they will have Honda Corp. Inspect vehicle. We have on file all routine maintenance inspections recorded in "maintenance & service handbook" and Honda multi point vehicle inspection checklists. Incurred $355 expenditure to replace rear brakes and rotors which should be covered by Honda along with resolution of issue.
While driving, car automatically applies brakes. Speed will slow all the way down, almost to a stop. Multiple warning lights dealing with brake system will randomly pop up, but also leave on their own just to reoccur later on. I just got this car a month ago with only 19, xxx miles.
On 02/06/2021, after entering a gated residential community, the car suddenly brakes for no reason. No other vehicles or pedestrians were on the road. Weather was overcast. Roadway was dry. Speed was approximatley 27 mph. Neck and head injury resulted. Honda dealer could find nothing wrong after running all tests. Therefore, they said nothig was wrong with the car. I am afraid to drive this car!
