Parking at nursery shop, car went out of control speeding and running over the concrete stoper and nursery fence. It was a sudden acceleration and vehicle could not be stopped. The car was moving in slow motion to park and had a sudden acceleration that caused the accident. Very scary. Tried to stop pressing the brakes but the car would not respond. No injuries but it could happen to anyone anywhere.

Our car's brake lights failed at night in orland park, il, luckily another driver alerted us that they were unlit and not operating during braking. We also noticed the collision avoidance system had failed, called our dealer & brought the car in for repair the next morning (Jan. 14, 2019); we received a loaner since this was a major safety issue (it took two days for parts to be available). Honda told us the brake lights failed due to a defective radar sensor. I have contacted Honda several times to urge them to fix this bug, as brake lights should always work and not be controlled by software. Honda has refused to acknowledge that this safety defect needs an immediate fix, so I am documenting it so the us dot can pressure them to fix it as rapidly as possible.

I purchased a new 2018 Honda Accord hybrid on June 30, 2018 from Honda of kirkland for my daughter. On Monday, February 25, 2019, when she was driving back from class on a road at 35 mph, the collision mitigation system brake warning flashed then braked immediately, stopping the car in traffic. No obstacles or cars were in front of her. Fortunately, the cars behind her were far enough away that they were able to stop. In addition, she tried to get out of the way of traffic by pressing the accelerator, but the car would not respond for several moments after the automatic braking occurred. She also told me that the brake warning had been coming on often when nothing was in front of her. In addition, the lane departure feature has been malfunctioning, trying to pull her to the left lane into oncoming traffic when driving on curving roads. The car is currently at the Honda dealership, but the only thing they found was "a little dirt" on one of the sensors, stating that there was nothing wrong with the Honda sensing system. I have found class action lawsuits filed against Honda for faulty collision mitigation systems on at least two of their models (Accord & CRV). In addition, I have found pages of results for these problems with Honda and Acura (Honda corporation) when simply typing in "collision mitigation system problems". please see the links below.

On my way back to home in san diego ca in late Jan 2019 the panel started showing warning signs like brake system light on, adaptive cruise control/road departure mitigation/lane keeping assist system (lkas) lights are all on saying failure. This was the second time for my around 2000 miles Accord hybrid. The first time it was able to resolve by re-power on the car but second time it was completely failed. Then I went back to dealer the other day and it turned out the multipurpose camera did not work properly under rain and low temperature (it was just typical san diego winter) so they replaced one. It is extremely dangerous since I have seen people reported the same issue everywhere. After the replacement the auto-highbeam started working as well, before I didnt even know it was not working. Same warning sign like this video: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=-_nfu2hpngc

Honda Accord hybrid 2018 with 7439 miles. I was driving on the highway back home from work. Suddenly car starts to flush messages that all car systems fails and it needs to be towed to dealership immediately. Car stopped to response to controls including acceleration and starts to slows down from 70 mph to 25 mph. At that time I realized that the only option would be to pull over on the shoulder. I did it to be able to stay away from traffic and call emergency service. After approximately 75 minutes I was towed away to nearby dealership (manchester Honda, ct). As of this morning I don't have any information from them. I was totally shocked on car behavior and think this is not acceptable for car with 7439 miles and only 7 month old.

I'm barely reaching close to 6000 miles and I'm already hearing clunk sounds on my suspensions when I slowly go into a dip or drive across a bump, now sometimes the engine would have this rattling sound when I accelerate between 2000-3000 rpms and sometimes when I remove the parking brake and go reverse the braking system would randomly brake on me violently and put it on park. I bought the vehicle at 84 miles.
