Numerous times, I have been driving with absolutely no other vehicles or obstacles surrounding my vehicle, and it would suddenly activate the automatic braking system without warning, leading to a very rapid deceleration from a high rate of speed, almost causing me to crash.
seems like this is an on going issue honda safety systems failing around 30k miles. loss of all systems VSA, RMS, ACC, CMS. prior to all loss, the system would out of the blue activate when there was no cause. system will not reset and all dash warnings are on all started when the front right wheel might have had a slip issue going through a puddle of water. with the large amounts of failures, honda needs to step up and fix these issues as it is now a guaranteed profit maker for their dealers as estimated cost is 1800 dollars, pretty stiff for fixed ss income.
This has happened several times, when cruise control is activated like 1/50 times the car will go into limp mode randomly with the brakes activating at speed. This makes it very difficult to steer and has led to me almost getting hit. I have stopped using cruise control and the problem has not happened since
I was driving on a city street at around 30 mpr with no cars in front or behind me when my CRV came to sudden jerking stop and then continued forward. It was so abrupt that my head snapped forward and I slid toward the steering wheel. Luckily, no one was behind me otherwise, I would have been rear ended. This has created a great fear in driving my CRV. I still intend to contact the dealership and report directly to Honda.
The ABS system suddenly engaged for no reason with the brakes slamming on. The system has also randomly alerted to brake for no reason with nothing but shadows in front of me. I purchased this vehicle because it happened multiple times in the 2018 CRV model I owned and the dealer I bought it from said there was nothing wrong and that it couldn-??t be turned off. That vehicle stopped in the middle of a road from going 35 and again in the highway while traveling at 60 mph.

The other day my car logged 35k miles. About 200 miles later multiple waning lights came up on my instrument panel. Adaptive Cruise Control, Road Departure and Collision Mitigation systems are not working. After looking for help on different forums I found that at around 35K miles this is happening to many people. The "radar" part of the system is most likely the part that needs replacing and just the part is over $400! This safety feature is not only required for modern vehicles, but it is used in vehicle safety ratings and marketing to attract buyers to specific vehicles. This is no small matter in my opinion. What good is a feature that stops working after the warranty runs out.
When on interstate in middle or left lane and passing car in lane to the right, with no car ahead in sensor distance, brakes can suddenly be applied. I contacted hondausa and was referred to dealer, which was coggin Honda, St augustine, fl. Vehicle inspected, spoke to mechanic, who said he is hesitant to adjust forward sensor cone on vehicle. For safety reasons, I now travel on interstates using traditional cruise control. I do not want to be rear ended if a vehicle behind is tailgating and my brakes are suddenly applied. I cannot always get out of the way of a tailgater. The sudden application of brakes has happened several times, not only the date listed and always on a limited access road. I rarely use cruise control except on a limited access road. Control.
We were driving on a straight section of road at 80mph on I-24 E when the engine light came on and we lost power to the wheels but the engine was still running. There was no jerking motion or any sign of trouble when this happened. We had to coast in heavy traffic with semi-trucks all around us to get to the right hand shoulder for a safe place. Honda's reply to the dealer was to change the oil out if there was gas in the oil. There was gas in the oil when the dealer checked so they replaced the oil. No other fix was suggested by Honda to the dealer even though this problem was supposed to be fixed for the 2019 models as it had initiated field repairs for the 2017 & 2018 models. The fix was supposed to be implemented at the assembly plants before the 2019 models were sold.
On 2/7/2020 I was operating my CRV, made a left turn into driveway of tavern/restaurant, 1080 E. philadelphia ave., gilbertsville, pa. 19525 and pulled into the first parking space about 10 feet from street. I slowed down to almost a stop approx. 2 feet from concrete parking block, my foot was on the brake and engine accelerated very high causing the vehicle to jump the parking block and striking the restaurant wall. Approx. 8 feet from parking block. My wife asked me what I was doing and I pointed to my right foot on the brake. No one was hurt and very minimal damage to wall. There was a police report to douglas twp. Pd. I spoke to piazza Honda dealership where vehicle was towed to and manager said that I most likely had my foot half on brake and half on gas pedal. I also gave same story to allstate insurance. I requested that hey check the black box in vehicle and both said they could not. My vehicle was repaired after $90.00 estimate was written. I was so afraid to drive the vehicle again and I traded it in to piazza Honda without leaving their business after it was repaired. I have been driving for 60 years and never had my foot half on brake a nd half on gas pedal. The brake and gas pedal are separated by at least 3 inches. If it was on both pedals, I am sure the brakes would have screeched. The vehicle was in the shop at piazza Honda 4 days prior to the accident for pa. Vehicle inspection and during the exam they told me that the left front strut was leaking and they installed a new one. The vehicle was only 8 months old with 11,000 miles on it..
Vehicle has been observed to undergo unnecessary emergency braking operations during the use of the adaptive cruise control system. The vehicle seems to be sensing something that's not actually present and this causes it to brake rapidly. The problem is not repeatable when driving the same route under similar conditions. This is an ongoing problem that has been brought up with the Honda dealer but as yet remains an unresolved intermittent problem.
My Honda sensing system has serious and dangerous malfunctions. When driving, the brake assist will beep and flash "brake" at me when there are no obstacles anywhere near the vehicle and on more than one occasion has actually braked and slowed the vehicle substantially. Additionally, the lane departure warning comes on when I haven't left the lane, and also will brake when it is not only unnecessary but very dangerous, such as when I was driving in the fast lane on the freeway with cars traveling behind me.
Under certain lightning or glare conditions, the CR-V's automatic braking comes on. It recently happened to me on three occasions. In the first it was on the T. R. bridge, leading into DC, at 7 am, when the sunlight from the East was causing glare. The CR-V braked automatically while going at about 45 mph when there was no vehicle in front of mine. In the second and third instances, it was when I was on I-66 East on the overpass over the capital beltway at 8:30 pm traveling at about 55 mph. The CR-V's "brake" warning came on when there was no vehicle in front or next to the vehicle. The glare from the overhead lighting for the highway signs is quite strong in that location. This is a serious safety issue, since the vehicle can brake without warning in the middle of a highway at highways speeds, potentially causing the driver to lose control or to be rear ended at high speeds.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. while driving 70 mph, the vehicle shook, vibrated, and began to decelerate. Also, the electric parking brake, transmission, brake system, brake hold, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation system, blind spot information system, and auto high beam system warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 800.
