When I'm driving on the highway, the car sometimes loses its grip, the brakes slip, and it's hard to control the steering wheel. The brakes are a big issue. I'm scared of driving this vehicle. Plus, I have had AC problems ever since I bought the vehicle; the air is warm.
Brakes failed on vehicle almost causing me to collide with vehicle in front of me. Brakes Plus in Tempe checked Brakes and found them to be good. All the lights on the dash flash when attempting to start the vehicle. Vehicle will not start sometimes. The vehicle also leaves the lane when going over potholes and bumps on the road and handles badly.
The automatic emergency braking system has flashed across my dash on multiple occasions while actually braked on a handful of times. The system seems to work correctly when its needed, but the concern is it will brake while nothing has been infront of me. I have come to dead stop while going 15 through a empty parking lot. The vehicle is open for inspection at any time. The safety of myself and others is at risk due to faulty detection and can cause an accident with my child in the car. I have not taken it to be inspected or looked at. There has been no warning lights about faults in anything.
On multiple occasions, at least 10, my automatic braking detector system has engaged when no other cars were in front of me or around me on the road. It has happened while driving in the city at slow speeds, on the highway at 70-80mph, and most recently while going up ramp to merge onto interstate. The automatic brakes will engage causing my car to slightly brake and I then have to accelerate, especially while on the interstate, to keep the car moving or else it could just stop in the middle of the road with a potential to cause a deadly accident. My cruise control no longer works either. I wonder if these issues are synonymous? My safety and the safety of others is definitely at risk with my car randomly braking with no cars in front of me or next to me. The vehicle routinely gets inspected at my Honda dealership every 6-8 months when I get my oil changed and they have not reported any issues. There have been no warnings on the car prior to these incidents happening. This car has no accidents and currently has 30,000 miles. I would estimate the car had about 28,000 miles when the last incident happened while going up the interstate ramp. The braking system malfunction started at the beginning of 2023 from my knowledge.
I was driving down the highway near where I live in Hanford California the highway is 198. I was going 68, 69 mph. No one was on the road my car literally slammed on its brakes and jerked to the right.this has happened 2times I have turned off the assist I-??m to afraid it will happen again. I am bringing it into the dealership tomorrow and also have them check my airbags the light in the dashboard intermittently keeps coming on then after a bit it will turn off. The first time I brought it in for the airbag lights coming on they informed me that it was due to me pulling the seat back to far I am 5 foot four. I don-??t normally pull the seat back. It would be more closer to the steering wheel for me, but there was a problem supposedly with the connection that is under the seat it doesn-??t make me feel too safe to think that me moving. My seat is going to prevent my airbags from deploying God for bid if I get into an accident.

The vehicle's automatic braking function activates for no reason. Should only function if it detects objects in it's path which driver not reacting to. It has happened multiple times at both freeway speed as well as city speed. Mostly happens quick, applying slight brake with "brake" light illuminating on dash then quits. Scared it will apply full braking at some point. I know you are claiming occurs on Accords and CR-V but mine being a Civic it is happening to me also. Please address this and require Honda to fix this FAST!

On Friday, April 2nd, I was driving home on the 710 fwy on the far left lane. I was driving around 75mph and there was an object on the ground which looked like an empty potato chip bag, it wasn't anything that would have done any damage to my car but my Honda sense's collision mitigation braking system activated for no reason and alerted me to brake and started applying pressure. I had no reason to stop so I had to swerve into the shoulder lane to prevent my car from braking unexpectedly which could have resulted into a deadly collision if there was a car close behind me. I have footage of the video and requested this to be looked into because if this is a faulty sensory issue, I would like it corrected immediately to prevent further issues. I do not want this to happen again because this incident was very dangerous when I did not have control of my own vehicle and it tried to override my command to keep driving straight.
I was slightly braking because the vehicle in front of me was going to make a right turn instead of braking it started speeding making a strange noise I was able to slightly release the brake and brake again so it wouldn't hit the car in the front.
When driving home from work my car suddenly showed multiple errors such as emissions system problem, brake system problem, hill start problem, power steering problem, ems system problem. The car only has 14,000 miles and is a year old. The car does not shift or steer properly. Please recall this car because many others have had the same problem.

Everytime I start the car I get a low tire pressure warning, I have checked all four tire pressures and the spare repeatedly, and regardless of whether I fill them with the correct pressure or not the TPMS does not stop signaling low tire pressure. Warning has not gone away since it came up despite correcting pressure bi-weekly. Currently has been 6 months. Also occasionally the car will brake by itself both on the highway and around neighborhoods (low speeds and high) and without anyone in front.
I own a 6 speed manual sport coupe purchased on 5/30/19. On 2/10/20 I was stopped at a light on a slight downhill 15- 20' behind car in front. Shift was in neutral with my foot on brake pedal. After a while, my car started moving forward. I pushed harder on the brake pedeal but no response and coasted into rear of car. One person in each car and nobody injured. Fearful that brake failure would occur again, had car towed to local Honda dealer where purchased. Receipt to me indicted they did diagnostic testing, inspected brake system and test drove car. "advised customer no problems at the moment". as noted before testing, since no manufacturer defects found was charged $139.95. On 2/11, received call from mgr. Of Honda svc. Dept. Due to my negative survey responses. Told him I was not satisfied with answer by employee to my question of why forward collision mitigation/FCM did not brake when getting close to car. Mgr. Stated that FCM is designed not to work when car in neutral or reverse. I consider lack of FCM in neutral to be a serious safety design flaw. Mgr. Then recommended that I open case with Honda customer relations which done on 2/14. Rep. Took down my info. And asked what I wanted from Honda. I said they need to determine why the brake failure happened and what can be done so I have confidence that it will never occur again. She then gave me a case # and stated that it would need to be referred to the "level 1" dept. Handling accidents/injuries/fatalities. Received a call from "level 1" on 2/17 but was told there was nothing they could do/was a local dealer issue and he was to contact the mgr. Of the local Honda svc. Dept. I sent voice/E-mails to mgr. Of local Honda svc. Dept. On 2/21 noting my experience with cust. Relations/"level 1", and asking what are the next steps -- awaiting response. I am currently driving the car in fear/on edge.
Driving behind I was driving behind traffic was pulling up to a red light at the intersection put my foot on the brake and got nothing at all the brake was hard as a rock I wound hitting two cars and plowing into a tree I even tried hitting the emergency rake button nothing no skid marks no nothing the car just kept on rolling
I own the 6 speed manual trans hatchback sport. Purchased Aug 12, 2019. Last night I exited the vehicle, wanting to keep it running and use he headlights to see- put the car in neutral and applied parking brake. Brake failed and car rolled across the parking lot. I religiously apply this brake. I have come to the car before in supermarket lot and such to find the brake off, but chalked it up to having already disabled it myself. This was not the case last night. Huge safety hazard. Needs addressing.
On two occasions, my car's automatic braking system has engaged when nothing was in front of me. The first time, I was on the highway, and merging from an on ramp. The car suddenly dead stopped, brakes fully engaged. There was a car next to me, but nothing in front of me to cause the braking system. Luckily, no one was behind me. The second occurrence I was traveling about 30 mph on a local road. There was nothing anywhere around me. I approached a green light, and as I was going through the intersection, the cars braking system fully engaged. It screeched the car to a halt. I was at a dead stop, in the middle of the intersection.
