The contact owns a 2018 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated that while stopped behind a truck that had attempted to make a left turn, the vehicle began to reverse and tapped his vehicle. There was no visible damage to the vehicle and a police report was not filed. Then a few days after the incident, the contact merged onto the highway at 30 MPH and attempted to apply the brakes however, the brake pedal failed operate as needed. The contact stated that the Forward Collision Automatic Emergency Braking System failed to operate as needed and the contact crashed into the vehicle in front of him without warning. The air bags deployed upon impact. There were no injuries reported and no medical attention was required. A police report was filed. Due to the accident, the vehicle was initially towed to an independent mechanic however, the insurance had the vehicle towed to the dealer where it remained in their possession. The contact believed that the incident that occurred a few days prior to the second accident may have contributed to the Forward Collision Automatic Braking System failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.

Vehicle requires foot on brake for starting. Upon applying starter button the brake pedal goes down alarming amount if vehicle has been sitting for 30 days as we are experiencing the quarantine. Two trips to the dealer have not provided any satisfactory explanation for my problem.

On June 13, 2019, I hit a rock in a parking lot in the front of the vehicle. Later took to a body shop when radar sensor lights came on. Was told it was the misallignment of the radar sensor unit caused by the rock collision. Body shop says they recalibrated, but the warning lights still randomly come on. Counldn't get an apt. With the dealership to look again, for the third time, until mid Sept. Decided rather than risk a false positive breaking system error caused by the malfunctioning radar sensor, to turn it off. I'm heading out on a trip over 6 mountain passes and am not pleased that I have to do this and feel this defect and lack of resolution for 3 months could affect my safety.
