While driving on a secondary road, I crossed some road construction that had a large metal plate across the road covering where there had been some digging. My car suddenly and without warming came to almost a complete stop while automatically braking while crossing this metal plate, almost causing me to be rear ended by another car. I was driving about 40 mph in a suburb area. This happened at least 2 other times when I crossed this same plate on the road before avoiding this area with this car. Very scary and dangerous as there was no good reason to stop the car.

Every indicator light came on and flashed on my dashboard when I was driving, as well as a cruise control malfunction when I was driving on the highway, causing the system to shut off cruise control. The indicator lights that flash on the dashboard when this error occurs are as follows: Brake system problem all wheel drive system problem tire pressure monitor problem electric parking brake problem road departure mitigation system problem collision mitigation system problem lane keeping assist problem adaptive cruise control problem hill start assist problem vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem anti-lock brake system problem power steering system (eps) problem I have had these lights go off multiple times in different contexts. The first time I was in a parking lot and turned on my car and all indicator lights came on, the second time this happened when I was driving on the road, the third time I was parking my vehicle and then the indicator lights came on. I have brought my car to my Honda dealer three different times with no solution. Each time, eventually the indicator lights go off, usually after starting and restarting the car or rebooting the computer causes them to turn off.

Driving on highway at 70 miles per hour in beautiful 80 degree weather day on an August afternoon - no rain, no obstructions - when all of a sudden the dashboard lights up with warnings on the adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation system, brake failure, lane assist system - everything flashing and beeping. I immediately turn all the assist systems off but things still lite up and warning. When I am safely able to get off the highway to stop and turn car off and turn it back on all the warnings go away and appear to be fine. Sensors are clean and clear of obstructions. This is not the first time this has happened. Very scary! I keep the car clean and the sensors clean and unobstructed. Less than 25,000 miles on this car and it has had issues of not starting and dashboard flashing numerous times. Dealership actually toured it in on one occasion when it wouldn't start. Couldn't find anything and had us pick it up. Next morning would not start again. They finally replaced the battery. This was supposed to be a safe, reliable car and now I am afraid to drive it any distance with fear of failures.

In motion 45mph on a city street heading straight and 'brake' flashed on the dashboard and then applied itself instantly and abruptly to a stop. There were no cars or obstacles in front for the brake to be applied. However, the ground was slightly wet from sprinklers that had sprayed the road which makes no sense if it braked for that because I have driven in rain storms already and nothing happened.there were cars behind me that had to slam on their brakes and swerve to avoid rear ending me.

My car was automatically braked and stopped last week without any reason. There was no car near me, I was driving about 40 mph...this is the 3rd time it happens since I bought the vehicle in 2017--it breaks for about 5 seconds, then I was in control of the car...this is very dangerous and scary

I was driving my 2017 ex-L on the highway when the transmission started feeling strange. It was stepping down, then back to normal consistently even if I didn't change the pressure I had on the accelerator. Then all of a sudden many systems started reporting problems on my dashboard, all at the same time. Reported problems were: Brake system problem all wheel drive system problem tire pressure monitor problem electric parking brake problem road departure mitigation system problem collision mitigation system problem lane keeping assist problem adaptive cruise control problem hill start assist problem vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem anti-lock brake system problem power steering system (eps) problem the car lost power as I pulled off the road and shut it off. After a while, the problem codes went away. Honda has tried to fix it three times and says nothing shows as wrong. The latest case number is 09360895 it has happened three times so far

Today, 7/17/19, I was driving westbound on Michigan ave in seattle, heading to the on ramp to 509/99south/1st ave bridge area. The road here has multiple large metal plates flat on the road way, it is two lanes each direction and multiple stop lights. I was in heavy traffic, driving at a slow and steady rate (about 20mph or less) as I was going over the rough patch of road. The car suddenly and without my prompting braked harshly (and the screen said brake!) and came to a complete stop on the metal plates. It was lightly drizzling, but I had not braked as my speed was already slow enough on that road. I can only assume that the car sensed that the plates were an obstruction on the road and automatically braked. It is a miracle that the car behind me stopped in time, as myself and the other passenger were thrust forward (with seatbelts on) due to the force of the deceleration. It was a terrifying experience and I had absolutely no control of the car at that point. This would be helpful for a sudden stoppage in front of me, but terrifying when unprompted. It could have resulted in harm to myself and others and damage to multiple cars. I am typing this here so that hopefully it will be reported to Honda and others'.

Automatic braking system has activated two times since I had the car. First time when there was a metal plate in the street about a year ago. On June 22 in brooklyn it went off again for no reason stopping the car abruptly. Fortunately no one was behind me. This is very disturbing and dangerous

- Brooklyn, NY, USA

With no cars around me and no obstructions while driving 60 mph on the freeway brakes slammed on for no reason. I then took it to the dealer they said nothings wrong. I have now taken it to cerittos Honda numerous times but they say nothings wrong but it happened again today.

I was driving my Honda CR-V on a highway using the hov lane. At some point while driving normally the front driver side seemed to have collapse and the car started pulling strong in one direction towards the center divider line. With two hands on the wheel the pull was so strong that I would barely control the car and keep it from crashing into the divider. Barely missing the divider I managed to stop the car on the shoulder luckily without anyone colliding into me. If I was driving in the middle lane this could have prompted a major accident. I didn't go over any pothole or obstruction on the road. No one hit me nor did I hit anyone. No airbags inflated nor warning indicators appear on the console. I called the police and once on the scene the police swept the highway to determine if there were any potholes or obstacles that could have caused the incident. They confirmed that non existed and that the road was deemed safe. There was no police report produced as the police deemed the incident to be a non accident and instead a breakdown since there was no collision or altercation. When looking at the car damage there was significant damage to the wheel, wheel well, rim which split up vertically, rotar, suspension, wheel caliper, brakes (which fell off in pieces) and basically everything attached to the driver side wheel. The vehicle needed to be towed as it was not operational at that point. When brought back to the Honda dealer the dealer could not find anything reported on the computer. There only explanation was that the car was involved in an accident. The dealer did not want to further investigate or find fault even though the vehicle was still covered under the warranty. This incident seemed to be a mechanical malfunction that occurred that almost took my life and could be a potential safely concern for other Honda CR-V drivers if not properly investigated.

I've been to the dealership 5 times now for the same issues: Road departure mitigation system failure, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem. I have also been driving the vehicle and with no one in front of me, the car will beep, flash brake, and then the brake system will activate. When this happens the seat belts lock up from the sudden braking. I was told there is an update, and they installed it, supposedly, and the problem should be fixed. I am still having all these problems, and I am now being told there is a software update that is coming out next month. Let me reiterate that while driving on the highway the vehicle will randomly brake with no one in front of me. I also had my gear shifter button pop out and brake while shifting to drive the other day. I had to drive to Honda, and get that replaced, and was told that it is a common problem.

Vehicle was shut off at a tire shop to get new tires put on. Upon attempting to start the car again, a warning showed up on the screen saying "electronic brake failure". the car is equipped with electronic brakes that automatically turn on when the car is put into park and turned off. They are supposed to turn back off when the car is started, but on this occasion they were unable to turn back off. This stopped the car from being able to start at all, multiple indicators on the dash were throwing errors, the check engine light was on, the brake light was flashing, and it continued to show "electronic brake failure". when the dealership was contacted they said there wasn't anything they could do but to tow it 2 hours away to look at it, then they suggested disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes to get the brakes to release, which was done and did release the brakes and clear the error. Because the battery was removed, any codes stored were cleared so when it was brought in the car showed that everything was fine and they were unable to reproduce the issue. It seems to be a common enough issue now on all new Honda with the electronic brake feature to the point that googling it will come up with multiple forums talking about it.

The automatic breaking function is randomly applying the brakes, or warning to brake, at random times when there are no other vehicles or people around the car. The automatic braking system has applied itself 3 times, with very hard braking to the point that the seatbelts locked up, while merging or exiting the freeway, going anywhere from 25-45 mph'ish. One time I was almost rear ended and the vehicle behind had to swerve to avoid hitting me (because they were also tailgating), another time was while exiting a bridge, and the most recent was this morning while merging onto the freeway in front of a big rig and the brakes randomly slammed themselves on for absolutely no reason. While driving on surface streets it has automatically applied the brakes lightly at least twice, and given countless false braking warnings when driving around city streets. This is a major safety hazard!

I had just come off the highway exit on to the city street. I was increasing my speed and moving over to the left. Just as I got into the left lane the CR-V suddenly started to flash break on the dash in front of me and I could feel the vehicle break hard on it's own. I was lucky no one was behind me. There was no person/vehicle in front of me that I would need to brake for. I took the vehicle the next day to the Honda garage and they could not find anything. There was no fault code in the system nor could the technician duplicate this issue. I was lucky that this happen at night without much traffic if this would have happen going to work on the highway someone could have been seriously injured or killed. I have seen other CR-V owners report the same thing happen on forums. I am very weary now to drive to work with this issue. I used to love my CR-V now I don't want to drive it but have no choose as it is my only transportation to work.

I was driving my car about 2 weeks ago on the weekend when the car stopped suddenly while driving normally, there was no need for the brakes to be activated. I was driving straight at about 40 mph, there was a wall on the far left side of the road( about 2 meter height), anyhow, the brakes system should not be activated --similarly a year ago in 208 I had the same problem, brakes goes off by iteslef without any need for it...this is dangerous as someone could have hit me from the back.

On early Oct 2017, automatic braking system applied (slammed) for no apparent reasons at 45 mph. No cars were in front and luckily none was behind. Happened on mid day, clear and sunny day. There were several occasions that brake warning activated while no pending traffic. Went to dealer to checkup and was told "never heard of such issues with this brake issues". it totally did not make sense that the adviser recommended turning off brake sensing feature!? on a separate issue, front adaptive shutter malfunction while was on the highway causing loss of power. System reset itself after pulling off the road shutoff and restart the engine. Dealer said they were not able to replicate this issue and found no faulty problems.

On multiple occasions, while the vehicle is in motion, the system has made an alert sound and the instrument panel has provided the following notifications: "break system" indicator is lit; collision mitigation system problem; road departure mitigation system problem; and today (3/28/2019) while the cruise control was engaged, it also displayed adaptive cruise control problem. It shuts down these systems and the car drives with a slight "drag" to its movement. The only way to correct this issue is to pull over, turn the car off, wait, and then restart. The system checks itself and resets. This is unpredictable, cannot be specifically initiated, and therefore is difficult to take for repair when there is no indication at the time of the vehicle being in need of repair. There is clearly something wrong with the software, the computer, or an electrical connection. I am the original owner, vehicle was purchased in October 2017.

- Forest, VA, USA

Vehicle was stopped at a light. When light turned green, began to enter the intersection when vehicle suddenly flashed brake warning and brought car to complete stop. There was nothing in front of the vehicle. Luckily the vehicle behind did not hit the back of my car. Third time since I purchased the vehicle that this has happened, bar braking with nothing in front of it.

- Arlington Heights, IL, USA

Driving on a multi lane road, no cars in from of me. My speed was about 45 mph. Collision avoidance braking system was activated bringing vehicle to an almost complete stop. I had 2 passengers who can corroborate story.

On 3-11-19 at 6:14 pm I was driving with my wife on a parkway. Weather was clear and sunny, 39 degrees. There were no cars in front of me. I had the cruise control set at 61 mph when suddenly my vehicle put the brakes on disengaged the cruise control and lane assist control. Then a code flashed up saying 'auto high beam problem'. after a 15 minutes to reach my home I checked the high beams it was fine. In the last 4 weeks I have had code flash on the screen while I am driving saying system failure, for 5-10 minutes. Consumer stated this was the sixth time.
