I-??m having two continuous, multiple incident, problems that the dealership swears up and down do not exist. I have tried calling the dealership multiple times, and the national Honda customer service line. Problem number one, sudden, breaking while driving at highway speed with no vehicle or other objects in front of me. Second problem is the adaptive cruise control no longer is activated on the vehicle after the most recent software update. Although Honda says they have not removed this component from my car or it-??s software, the vehicle no longer slows down automatically when approaching a vehicle from behind while cruise control is activated

I drove into my friends driveway with my foot on the brake to drop her off. All of a sudden my car lurched forward damaging my friends garage door and the foundation of her house. I had zero control of the car at that point. I plan on notifying Honda. There were no warning lights, or messages prior to this disaster.

The brakes failed and the yellow light that comes on as you are approaching another vehicle failed to come on along with the car not slowing down. The drivers foot was on the brake but the car wasn-??t stopping. This caused the driver to rear end another vehicle causing a car crash. The dealer was asked about reading the computer to confirm brake failure but was advised they do not have the equipment to read the computer in the vehicle. There was no warning prior to the failure of the brakes not working.

While driving on the freeway and sometimes on city drive, I noticed a sound and a brake flash on our dashboard. Surprising because I am not stepping on my break. I let my wife also drive the car and the same observation was noticed. I cannot take a picture of it because I am driving. Such observation were noticed occasionally but what if we end up on a full stop while on a freeway? that's the worrisome part.

The cmbs has mistakenly activated at highway speeds twice now in less than 1000 miles driven. The cmbs has caused my car to break sharply, for just a second, reducing speed by about 5-10 mph, when there was no reason for it to do so. There was no precipitation and there was no obstacle whatsoever that should have caused the cmbs to activate.
