Headgasket failure at extremely low miles due to poor or flawed design. Vehicle has a valley between the cylinders where the gasket sits begging to be blown out. The low mileage failure rate is tremendous causing numberous drivability issues while on the road. You loose entire throttle control every light on the dash comes on. Every advance system shuts down. You loose every assist feature. It-??s all of a sudden and random as well. Pulled out on to the main highway 52 and my car just fell on its face. If I wouldn-??t have been in an area safely and quickly to hurry and get out of the way of traffic. It could-??ve seriously caused a big accident. Pulling out on a highway or interstate with everything being normal then bam you have no control of the vehicle is a very horrifying situation to have to be subjected to.

This car followed me all the way home. I knew the driver was following me because I took a fake route home. I eventually stopped and he stopped with me. This driver is not mentally stable enough to own a license.

Just purchased the vehicle at 359xx miles 3 days ago. At 36,2xx miles, while driving, all the dash lights came on saying there was a failure in the braking system, emergency brake, TPMS, lane departure, brake hold, hill assist, impact sensor, emissions system, power steering, and the information system all showed as malfunctioning. After stopping the vehicle and restarting it, the notifications still stay on.

Adaptive cruise control was engaged at a stop light. When the car in front moved adaptive cruise would not disengage. There was at least 30 feet clearance to the next object. Cruise was turned off and the brakes released.

Twice while driving at 60 mph the cruise control dropped out for no reason. I have low pressure alarms for no reason. These were always while I was driving. I had 6 in may and June took it to the dealer on July 3, they could not find anything wrong. That afternoon I had the low pressure alarm come on for no reason tires at at normal pressure.

While driving (50+/- mph) on a two lane state road, my 2019 Honda Civic hatchback sport cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) automatically engaged, bringing my vehicle very close to a complete stop for no reason I could see. There were no vehicles in front of me in either direction and fortunately no vehicle following or I would have been rear-ended. Clear morning, nothing on the roadway, no wildlife I saw. Dry and sunny, no leaves, no breeze, bare pavement. A sweet June morning in dutchess county, NY. Out of the blue the cmbs engaged automatically applying the brakes so hard I could feel the ABS kicking on and in moments I was at a crawl, then the car simply behaved normally again. I've owned this car less than a week. There is no means provided to shut this feature off permanently. The only way to override the cmbs is to manually turn it off every time I restart the car. It resets every time the car is turned off. This feature may wind up causing more rear end collisions as it avoids front end collisions. What would the consequences be if that scenario happened while on a curve, driving 50 mph in the rain? or in rush hour traffic on a highway at 60 mph (or faster) where commuters typically tailgate across three or four lanes of traffic? this was my very first experience with cmbs in any vehicle and I consider it a total failure and extremely dangerous when it can engage with such force while it's a false alarm.
