On several occasions this cars collision mitigation system has applied the brakes without any reason and this is a very serious safety issue for the public at large and needs immediate attention from Honda. I've seen some complaints about the 2017 and 2018 CRV doing this exact same thing.

The car randomly slams on brakes caused by the Honda sensing collision mitigation system. This is very dangerous

Windshield wipers wouldn't work while driving in rain on highway. Pulled over, went to service station, they had me turn car off and checked some fuses. Then warning lights came on about the vehicle stability control, braking and various safety features. This morning when I started car and backed out of driveway the wipers started working but the warning lights are still on. Took it to dealer this morning.

On a hot day while sitting stationary in my car with ac running, I heard a 'pop' with a fizzle sound then smoke began to rise from the front of the dash where it meets the windshield. The vehicle stopped running [push to start], and all lights flashed on the dashboard. The all sensors began to emit error messages. I turned off and exited vehicle, popped the hood and smoke was also coming up from outside the car. The car was purchased in March 2018, and at time of incident had a little 6000 miles. After letting car sit for a few hours it started up, with error messages across the display..I.e. TPMS, check engine, lkas, etc. I then had vehicle towed to nearest Honda dealer, and the service people were unsure why a module in the dash burnt out; so they contacted Honda Corp. Long story short they placed blame that a charger found in the bottom of my glove box caused it, which was never used in my car. To this day no one can answer me why a spontaneous fire started in my car while sitting still with ac running, but they refused to fix my car. This could have been a serious issue if the car was being driven at the time of this incident. Photos show possible leakage on the wires, but no on wants to admit that there is a big problem at hand.

On 3 seperate occasions the car has seen a shadow on the ground and slammed on brakes then releasing for no reason. There were no other vehicles around me on each occasion. I thought the car was stopping on a yellow light on the first incident but was told by the service manager that it doesn't do that. This is a very dangerous issue that needs to be addressed. I asked the service manager to disable it but was told he can't do that when it is possible because this is an added feature.

Trunk would not open, blinkers and wipers would not work, all on board sensors (lane departure, backup detection, etc.) would not operate. Several error warnings presented on dash in regards to safety sensors not working. Had to stop at dealership and they reset the car computer. Safety issue w/wipers and blinkers not working.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. While driving 30-40 mph and making a left turn, the lane assist system and lane mitigation warning indicators illuminated. In the middle of completing the turn, the lane mitigation feature activated and steered the vehicle to the right. As a result, the vehicle struck a boulder and fractured the front passenger side suspension, which damaged the body of the vehicle. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to coral springs auto mall (9300 w atlantic blvd, coral springs, fl 33071, (954) 369-1016) where it was diagnosed that there was a miscommunication between several of the safety features. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.
