I have tried contacting Honda and going to the dealership multiple times to get this taken care of but everything is perfect they say. Just yesterday the car hit the break on it's own when the car on the other side was clearly on the other lane the car made a horrible sudden stop that caused bruising to my neck and also my passenger got hurt with everything that flung from the backseat he said the tug was too much. We thought someone had hit me. This isn't the first time the car has done this I feel I get constant tire pops because of this car veers me off into a lane that isn't even there. I have witnesses that say I have a lemon car I always say no but this last incident was too much for me. Also the charger port not usb has not worked since day one another thing they said was working again nothing. I went back and they said I had no warranties. I have called Honda trying to get to the bottom of this and going to the dealer they said U signed so take care of it. At this point I am in the process of purchasing a new vehicle cash and I am not even 1% intersd in keeping this car. If I have to return voluntarily I will have to. I have been patient but it's absolutely ridiculous that I was put into this vehicle being a supposedly upgrade " from my 2017 Honda coupe V6. This car needs a recall on lane departure, sensors, electrical it is not a car I feel safe in. I do not trust to let it drive on it's own and for good reason. What am I paying for then " I would have crashed into a car by now if I trusted it. I have proof of the three tires I have had to get in the past theee months and I don't drive much at all 9K miles in a whole year. Pics on bottom show how the damage comes from the sides due to the car going straight then making sudden turns that hit curbs. The sensors seem to be getting worse instead of better.
When removing the electronic parking brake, to begin driving, one or more brake pads get stuck to the rotor then is violently returned to the open position. This happens in weather below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, after driving, then parking for mere minutes, even when the car is still running. Many sources this is due to the master cylinder not having enough pressure to relax the caliper. This is very hazardous under low speed and I have experienced extremely weak braking when in a parking lot.
07/06/20 was involved in an accident due to the plastic gas pedal snapping off and becoming lodged behind the brake pedal preventing adequate stopping that resulted in me rear ending another vehicle. Max speed reached on the freeway before collision was 65 mph. Trying to brake was not smooth and I had to press down extremely hard in order for the braking system to respond and still ended up colliding with the other vehicle at a higher rate of speed than there should have been when paying attention to surrounding traffic, even with a car length distance infront of me at the start of breaking. It is typical of the braking system to engage when "detecting" close proximity to another object or vehicle but, on many occasions there was no one there; however, in the case of todays accident collision mitigation was not responsive. Tire rotation performed at Honda on 6/29/20 with reports that brake lines, fluids, and pads were up to par however this is most certainly not the case. There is currently a recall that has not made its way to consumers for the fuel pump in this car that took me so digging to find. Initiated 5,28,2020 but, will not go in effect until 7,22,2020. I could have lost my life today! such a scary situation to be in.
On the highway going 75mph the collision mitigation beeped and locked up the brakes dropping my speed below 50mph before letting off. There was a car in the lane to the right of me on a straight section of the highway but was not moving into my lane. Luckily there was no one behind me.
"collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer." Warning has appeared seven times in the 4,300 miles I have owned the car. When the system errors the emergency braking does not function, the adaptive cruise control does not function, and even the traditional cruise control will not set. Turning car off and one does reset the issue but it keeps appearing at random times when I drive the car. I have taken the car to dealer multiple times they tell me they cannot do anything unless the warning light is on when they have the vehicle. This issue has been going on since I purchased the car brand new in November 2019.

2019 Honda Accord has 9 different warning lights on. Electric parking brake systems, brake systems problem, brake hold system, electrical power steering, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation and road departure mitigation.
The acc, brake system, lkas, and all security systems sent a message that they are off and does not work, after for no reason, no obstacle it braked itself. Now the entire system is off.
I was driving for abou 10 min I can see smog coming out of brakes and a message on screen saying brake problems so I stoped the car and I can see the rotors seem to be very worn out I believe it's something with brake pads
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. While driving 45 mph the windshield cracked without warning or impact. The collision mitigation brake system indicator warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the windshield was replaced. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.
When the car is in drive and your foot is on the breaks, so you are standing still, you can feel the break peddle loose pressure and the break peddle goes further down. Also, when breaking at slow slow speeds, it feels like it stops grabbing the rotors and you need to push further down on the breaks.
We leased a Honda Accord in July, 2019. We are a Honda family. Before the accident on January 10 of this year, we noticed several unusual happenings. The trunk lid would open while driving after being securely latched. It also would begin braking unnecessarily. The unfortunate incident occurred when the driver drove into a parking space in front of a local retail store traveling slowly when the Honda inexplicably accelerated forward very quickly. It jumped the curb, went over wide sidewalk, traveled through a brick wall anchoring a huge store window, and then went crashed through the huge window. The Honda finally stopped after it had completely entered the store. Fortunately, nobody was injured. We are very grateful for this. It seems that something is seriously wrong with the speed control system of the Honda. We felt that it was our responsibility to notify Honda in hope of preventing a future tragedy. We felt compelled to share this information on the nhsta website where 54 complaints were listed for the 2019 Honda Accord.
My reverse camera pulls up on the screen as I've been driving for well over 30 mins and my RPM gauge has went out and goes blank every other hour or so. Happened about 7 times this past month. Pretty dangerous because when the following car function is on it immediately stops works, I've swerved to avoid accidents. This is all happening as I drive
Car suddenly brakes, panic breaking, with no warning and for no reason, causing me to be in danger of hitting from behind as there is nothing in front of me causing the people behind to slow. Once this happened on the interstate, with all 3 lanes clear in front of me. I was surprised the guy behind be didn't hit me, as most drivers are following to close, counting on seeing any danger in front of them through my windshield, and in this case there was nothing.
Driving in inclement weather snow/freezing rain. The Honda sense radar will become covered in snow and or ice causing it to light up the dashboard with warning lights. None of the Honda safety features work (adaptive cruise, lane assist, automatic braking) even if you are not using them at the time they all shut down. The worst being the automatic braking could cause wrecks if it hasn't already. When the dash lights up it starts beeping constantly and you have to close out 3-4 notifications before it will stop blinking. Has happened on highway as well as just normal driving state roads. Has happened to me 3 different times. Car has 12000 miles
On April 13, 2019, my brand new, 2019 Honda Accord sport 2.0T on the highway going 55 mph, with mere/mild rain brought an alert of collision mitigation warning onto the dash. The car has since alerted me of the same problem about 5 times, in both wet and dry highway conditions. When taken to the dealer, they said the car had no records of the alert. Not knowing if the Honda sensing system will work is very alarming and I have become scared to drive the vehicle as I can not trust that the vehicle will perform as advertised. I am paying for a service that is not safe to use or not safe for other motorists as many other Accord and Honda owners have reported the same on their cars.
Brakes engage randomly during normal driving. Brake system lights come on. Problem appears randomly and is difficult to reproduce. No service codes are stored so service technicians do not know how to repair the problem
On 11/22, when my car was in accessory mode, the stereo system was flickering and the warning sign saying that there is a problem with my brake system appeared on the dash board. I also noticed my break pedal was pulsating. I took it to Honda and they changed the battery of my car on 11/30. I called Honda customer service and they told me this is a known issue but they do not have a fix for it. Two days after I got my battery changers, the touch screen went out while I was driving and caused the stereo system to reboot. Today, I was at the stop light waiting for the light to turn green. There was not a car infront of me and when the light turned green I took my foot off the pedal and the car started to move. About two seconds of moving the car, the car breaked by itself and the hazards lights came on- this happened on 12/14. A car behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me.
The contact drove a 2019 Honda Accord loaner vehicle. While driving very slowly, the "road departure mitigation failure", "brake system problem parking brake not available, brake performance may be reduced', 'brake hold system problem apply brake when stopped', and "see your dealer" warning messages appeared. The vehicle was towed to Honda of covington (100 holiday square blvd, covington, la), but the cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 645.
Received "collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer." Error messages no less than 5 times. The 2019 Accord touring has roughly 5K miles. I took it to the dealer the first time and restarted the car in the bay. The error light went away and they told me to come back if it happened again. The error message came back several more times over the next several weeks. I scheduled an appointment. I suggested faulty brake switch be looked at but was told the car just needed a "reboot" and to call if I had any further issues. The issue returned several days later. I believe in each case the adaptive cruise control was on and speeds were under 30. I believe the system was applying the brakes as we approached the car ahead in slow moving stop and go traffic. Only on one occasion was there rain or wet roadways. In all other instances the road and skies were clear each time on relatively straight road.
My 2019 Honda Accord, purchased new July 25, has 2365 miles on it. Twice very early in my ownership of the car the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) activated with no cars in front of me. I forgot about the problem as it did not repeat itself until three incidents 9/11 and 9/12 2019. Cmbs activated yesterday evening (9/11/19). It happened again 9/12 my drive to Chicago on I-294. I called Honda of racine right after that happened and was told to bring the car in for service. He told me to turn the system off. It happened again on my drive home from Chicago. I searched the problem on-line and found numerous similar complaints on: Https://www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/Accord/2018/brakes/service_brakes.shtml many of the complainants who have brought their car into Honda dealers for service report having no satisfaction. What is also troubling is that the system did not work today when there was need for an emergency stop when the car in front of me braked and swerved left (in a narrow construction zone) to avoid hitting the car that had to stop suddenly in front of him when a tow truck started backing up on the road to service a car on the side of the road. I braked quickly and the car behind me swerved to avoid hitting me. The cmbs did not activate in this situation. 9/13: Waiting at Honda for diagnostics. I have been shown a May 2019 Honda service bulletin which acknowledges this issue. I see numerous NHTSA owner reports of identical problems.
