SO THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WITH THE CRASH MITIGATION SYSTEM TURNED ON. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL TRIGGER THE SYSTEM WITH A FALSE POSITIVE CRASH DETECTION AND WILL EMERGENCY BRAKE FOR YOU AND CUT THE GAS SO YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD A FEW FALSE POSITIVES. THE FIRST 2 TIMES WAS A COMPLETE HORROR STORY. I WAS DRIVING IN A HIGH-SPEED ENVIRONMENT, WHILE A TRUCK WAS MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY, I WAS SUPPOSED TO ACCELERATE PAST HIM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BEEPED AND HALT TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY THE SEMI EVADED ME AND I REGAIN CONTROL AND SPEED OUT OF THE WAY. 2ND TIME WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER SEMI, I WAS LUCKY THAT PEOPLE GOT OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE TRUCK TO CLEAR ME. THE 3RD TIME OCCURRED JUST LAST WEEK ON THURSDAY. THERE WAS A CAR 5 CAR DISTANCE FROM ME, LEFT OF ME HAS A ROW OF CARS MAKING A LEFT, FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WELL, SOMEHOW IT DECIDED TO GO APE[XXX] AND CAUSED ME TO GET REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED/STATIONARY ON SEMI-FLAT A SCHOOL PARKING LOT. WHEN I LOOKED BACK THE VEHICLES MOVED. SEEMS THE PARKING GEAR DID NOT FULLY ENGAGED. REGARDLESS VEHICLE WAS NOT IN NEUTRAL OR DRIVE AND IT STILL MOVED FORWARD WITH NO ONE ON IT, NO KEYS INSIDE AND ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. LUCKILY NO ONE GOT HURT. SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION/CVT SYSTEM MAY BE AT FAULT, BUT UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.

MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD BRAKED SPONTANEOUSLY FOR NO REASON. THE WORD BRAKE APPEARS ON THE CONSOLE AND THE CAR ENGAGES THE BRAKES SUDDENLY AND FORCEFULLY. I'VE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS AND THERE WERE NO VEHICLES OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. DURING TWO EPISODES, I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN MY CAR BRAKED SPONTANEOUSLY- IT CAUSED MY HEAD/NECK TO JERK FORWARD. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME DID NOT TEAR END ME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE BRAKE MITIGATION SYSTEM ENGAGES WHEN DRIVING THROUGH CONSTRUCTION ZONES AND TOLD ME TO TURN OFF THE SYSTEM IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES. HE SAID 'THAT'S HOW THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO WORK'. I WAS NOT IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT APPEARS HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT TAKING STEPS TO CORRECT IT.

MY VEHICLE'S BACKUP CAMERA SOFTWARE HAS FAILED AGAIN DESPITE BEING "FIXED" ONCE ALREADY. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2018 TO FIX DEFECTIVE SOFTWARE THAT CAUSED THE BACKUP CAMERA TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CAMERA'S COLLISION SENSOR QUIT WORKING AND FAILED TO WARN ME OF OBJECTS IN MY PATH WHEN I WAS BACKING UP. HONDA LOADED NEW SOFTWARE, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER REPAIR, BUT I GOT THE SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE... "GEE, IT'S WORKING FINE FOR US, AND WE CAN'T FIX IT IF IT AIN'T BROKE!" WELL IT IS BROKEN, AND HONDA WON'T FIX IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND I HOPE THE NHTSA CAN HELP ME GET IT RESOLVED.

TODAY I WAS DRIVING HOME, DOING 45 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A TWO LANE ROAD, THERE WERE NO CARS NEAR ME. SUDDENLY, THE CAR BEEPED TWICE, THE BRAKE SIGN CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STOPPED VIOLENTLY. THE SEAT BEAT LOCKED DOWN ACROSS ME. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME. MY NECK AND RIGHT SHOULDER ARE NOW HURTING. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED A MILE FROM MY HOME. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE HONDA DEALER WHEN I GOT HOME TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS TIME WAS A MORE VIOLENT STOP. EACH TIME THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OR BESIDE THE CAR. THANKFULLY, EACH TIME NO OTHER CAR WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME.

DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, CAR BRAKED CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO REAR-END ME. THIS HAD HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME BEFORE, LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME WASN'T FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY AND I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30MPH. A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER THAT WHILE GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WET ROAD CONDITIONS, A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM AND TO SEE DEALER. ONCE THAT WARNING COMES ON CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DISENGAGES. THIS WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON ONE OTHER TIME, WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH DRY ROAD CONDITIONS. IF THE CAR IS RESTARTED THE WARNING RESETS AND ALL SYSTEMS ARE UP AND FUNCTIONING AGAIN.

THREE TIMES NOW I HAVE HAD THE EMERGENCY BREAKS ACTIVATE FOR NO REASON. NO ONE WAS INJURED THE FIRST TIME AS THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING VERY SLOW. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED THOUGH, I WAS INJURED. I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 45 MPH DOWN A BUSY STREET WHEN THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED. NOT ONLY DID THIS SCARE ME, BUT I WAS IN EXTREME PAIN AFTERWARDS. WHEN THE PAIN GOT WORSE AND I DEVELOPED BRUISING ON MY NECK I WENT TO SEE A SPECIALIST AND HE CONFIRMED THAT I HAVE WHIPLASH. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR IS JUST SENSITIVE. THEY CHECKED IT OUT BUT OFFERED NO SOLUTION. I HAVE KEPT THE FEATURE TURNED OFF SINCE THIS HAPPENED. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED WITH THE FEATURE DISABLED. MY SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. WE WERE BOTH SHAKEN UP PRETTY BADLY. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. EVERY TIME THE DASH LIGHTS UP FOR ANY REASON, I FLINCH. I HAVE HAD TO MISS WORK DUE TO THE INJURIES THAT I RECEIVED. I AM A SINGLE MOM TO FIVE KIDS, I CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS WORK DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND ENGINEERING OF THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING THAT THIS FEATURE WAS A SAFETY FEATURE. IT HAS CERTAINLY PROVEN TO BE THE OPPOSITE!

THE CAR ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT HAPPENED ON MARCH 28 1:30PM WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY 24. THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING ON HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES WHEN I FIRST SMELLED SOMETHING IS BURNING. I THEN SAW SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE FRONT SECTION OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO STOPPED THE CAR BY PRESSING THE FOOT BRAKE. THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN BUT IT WAS CONTINUED ROWING FORWARD. IT IS ON A SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL SLOP. AS SEEING SMOKE GETTING DARKER AND MORE STRONG, I PRESSED THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT STOPPED. I THEN OPENED THE CAR DOOR AND ROWED OUT FROM THE CAR ONTO THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CAR AND I WAS OK. I THEN CALLED 911 TO HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I HAVE 2 CONCERNS. MY CAR WAS JUST 16 MONTHS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON BEFORE IT HAPPENED AND WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE SERVICE SCHEDULE. HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN TO A RELATIVELY NEW CAR AND PERFECT SERVICE RECORD. THE OTHER CONCERN IS WHEN THE CAR WAS ON FIRE, BOTH THE FOOT BREAK AND PARKING BREAK COULD NOT STOPPED THE CAR FROM MOVING. HAS THIS HAPPENED IN A UPHILL OR DOWN HILL SLOP, I WOULD BE AT GREAT RISK.

MY WIFE WAS BACKING UP USING THE CARS BACK UP CAMERA THE VIEW SHOWED THE DIRECTION LINES BUT NO OBSTRUCTIONS. WITH NO WARNING SHE HIT A PARKED CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH. THE CAR AT NO TIME WAS VISIBLE IN THE CAMERA MONITOR.

I PURCHASED MY CARS ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND NOTICED SOME ISSUES AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. FIRST THERE'S NO MILEAGE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER, ONLY KILOMETER. AS SOON AS YOU SWITCH TO MILES IT DISAPPEARS. SECOND, THE CAR PLAY SYSTEM OFTEN TIMES RESETS ITSELF WHILE IN DRIVING MODE , ALSO HAPPENS A LOT WHEN GEAR IS SHIFTED. THIRD, LANE SENSOR SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DEFECTED AS WELL AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED FOR A SECOND, THE WORST IS THE CAR POOL LANE, IN CALIFORNIA IS A YELLOW LANE AND THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY PULLS TOWARDS IT. IT OBVIOUSLY CANNOT DETECT YELLOW LINES. TODAY SOMETHING NEW HAPPENED AND COMPLETELY CHANGED THE GAME FOR ME : THE CAR EMERGENCY BREAKS WERE ACTIVATED BY NOTHING AND OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON 90 MPH !!!!!!! ALL MY STUFF WERE THROWN FROM THE BACK SEAT TO THE FRONT AND I GOT SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THE SEAT-BELT THAT WAS PUSHED AGAINST ME! LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR...THERE WERE ZERO CARS BEFORE ME OR AROUND ME ! THANK GOD FOR NO CARS BEHIND ME OR THIS CITATION COULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT THE KEYS OVER THERE TILL THEY FIGURE IT OUR OR GIVE ME A DIFFERENT CAR. I'M SCARED TO GO BACK DRIVING IT.

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY CAR'S AUTOMATIC COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WITHOUT NOTICE AND ANY REASON. THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF MY CAR AND THE CAR BRAKED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS THROWN FORWARD AND BACK WITH A JERK. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING LOWER NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. I DISENGAGED THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM AND WILL TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS.

ON 2/14/19, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE CAR AHEAD OF ME STOPPED. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND INSTANTLY THE DASHBOARD WARNINGS LIT UP - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM, AND THE BRAKE - AND THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK SO I COULD NOT STOP. I REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DOING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THE WARNINGS WERE STILL VISIBLE AFTER THE CRASH AND I TOOK PICTURES OF THE DASHBOARD AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. THE WARNINGS SAY SOMETHING ABOUT SYSTEM NOT WORKING AND TO SEE A DEALER. THE SAME WARNINGS APPEARED ON 2/13/19 IN THE AFTERNOON BUT DISAPPEARED ON 2/14/19 IN THE MORNING. OTHER WARNINGS OF SAFETY SYSTEMS NOT ACTIVE HAVE APPEARED DUE TO ICE/SLUSH BUT THEN CLEARED WHEN THE SENSORS WERE CLEARED, BUT THESE NEW WARNINGS ARE DIFFERENT. AT LEAST TWICE, MAYBE THREE TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY BRAKE AND SLOW DOWN WITH NOTHING IN THE ROAD OR IN FRONT OF THE CAR. MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY WORKED FINE FOR FIRST 2-3 MONTHS BUT THEN STOPPED AND I COULDN'T RECONNECT THE PHONE OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS. IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN ONE SYSTEM/ELECTRONICS PROBLEM AND SEEMS LIKE THE WARNINGS APPEARED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE NOT WORKING AS IF IT WAS MORE THAN AN ALERT BUT A SYSTEM (SYSTEMS) NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AT ALL. THE BRAKE WORKED AFTER THE ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED.

WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 25 MILES IN A DAY MY STEERING WHEEL WILL STIFFEN UP AND THEN IT WILL RELEASE WITH A JERKING LIKE MOTION ( ALMOST SIMILAR TO A RACK AND PINION ISSUE IN AN OLDER VEHICLE). IT PROGRESSES THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE THE TRIP. HONDA HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS AND SAID IT'S THE WAY THE SUSPENSION IS SET UP, HOWEVER IT SHOULDN'T BE STIFFENING UP AND JERKING AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. HONDA IS CURRENTLY IN POSSESSION OF THE ACCORD TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 17 DAYS AS OF THIS POSTING. WITH ALL THAT SAID, I KEEP ALL THE DRIVING SUPPORT FEATURES DISABLED. THIS STEERING ISSUE HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS DURING THE TIME OF MAINTAINING A CERTAIN SPEED FROM 25+ MPH. IT'S QUITE SCARY TO DRIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE 2ND ISSUE I'VE REPOSTED SINCE PURCHASING THE ACCORD IS I ALSO HAVE TO KEEP THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM TURNED OFF WHEN AS SOON AS I REMEMBER TO DISABLE IT AFTER EACH STARTUP AS I'VE HAD SUDDEN STOPS BY THE CAR AT A NEARBY RAILROAD TRACK AND A HIGHWAY SIGN THAT GOES ACROSS A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN TEXAS WHICH I WAS GOING 45MPH. DUE TO THE FACT IT THINKS THERE'S SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME AND STOPS THE CAR. I'VE HAD WHIPLASH TWICE FROM THE CMBS SYSTEM ALERTING THE CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE HAULT. I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS BEHIND AT THE TIMES OF THESE INCIDENTS, BUT ONE DAY I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.
