One common misunderstanding in discussions I see on 2017-19 Ridgeline cmbs and acc while in active traffic, is that the Ridgeline Honda sensing system does not function the same as Acura or any Honda car. The Ridgeline acc disengages at 22 mph and to the best of my understanding affects the cmbs, delaying full engagement. Furthermore, Ridgeline cmbs on it's own engages dramatically late even when set at max distance, in my opinion ineffective for crash mitigation. Driver switching from a Subaru with eyesight to Ridgeline with Honda sensing for example in my opinion, constitutes a safety hazard. I have Ridgeline cmbs turned off until I get clarification from anyone at Honda who is more interested in safety rather than liability. American Honda motor company will discuss this verbally only and very guardedly with little or no discussion how the cmbs system functions on Ridgeline. This begs the question, why offer cmbs and acc when it only tells you are about to have a collision rather than brake to a stop, almost like a radar detector informing you that you are about to get a ticket. A visit to my Honda dealer 5-2-19 confirms they found no codes or problems with the Honda sensing system and are unable to offer further assistance.
