What 653 owners told NHTSA about the 2019 Honda Accord Plug In Hybrid

I was driving 40 mph on a street when the car's break suddenly went on and the car stopped. There wasn't another car in front of me, no animals or birds were crossing my path, the car just braked and then stopped. The car then started moving again after I pressed down on the accelerator.

The automatic braking system will deploy without anything in the road, especially going over one particular hill. Now the car will not start and says there’s an electronic braking system failure

NHTSA ODI 11539551

When I was driving down the road with no cars or no object in the road at all the emergency brake system came on (slamming brakes on) I had seat belt on and it still threw me forward a good bit until seat belt caught. A car behind me thankfully was able to brake and not hit me. This has not been reported it the dealership. The emergency brake light did come on and flash as the car braked its self. I have had the emergency brake light come on many times over the 3 years I have had it(starting from the beginning of ownership) but this is the first time it actually braked the car. The light come on frequently and never is anything in front of me.

All 10 ADAS lights are on the dashboard. Two different Hondas are saying the car is not coding and can’t find a problem. I search the internet and a lot of people are having the same problem with their 2018/2019 Honda accords

Every single dash warning light is showing up on my car and I've had it looked at and claimed to be fixed but it has popped back up and I'm unaware of the problem and it's been this way since I've bought my car and I've read online a few others have had this problem

It happens way too often, but my automatic emergency braking will brake randomly. Several times I’ve almost been hit by a car behind or in front of me. I also notice when the sun hits the vehicle in front of me just right it will do my automatic braking even when I am not close to the vehicle.

The car braked on its own without any obstruction or person in front of car, which almost caused me to get rear ended.

While going west bound on I820 toll road. 6/8/2023 @ 5pm. While in adaptive cruise control. Cars 5 to 6 car lengths ahead of us were having to come to a quick stop due to debris on the road. The Honda started to break, then break aggressively, then the “BREAK” notification light started to flash, and I lightly press the brakes. But the tire locked and we begin to skid (unnecessarily). I release the brake pedal. We stop skidding but the car continued to brake to a complete stop with no power to the accelerator. Causing cars behind us to stop aggressively to avoid from hitting us. We sat on the toll road for a good 5 to 8 seconds before power was regained on the accelerator. We never came more then 2 car lengths from the car in front of us.

I started my car this morning and I got a message saying Supplemental Passenger Error contact the dealer. Also, this car once a week will brake like if another car is in front of me on a busy highway I travel going home from work. This will cause someone to have a heartache especially when there is a big rig coming at speed behind you. Please look into these problems!

NHTSA ODI 11510937

Braked auromatically on highway at 65mph due to flying bag in front of car. Very dangerous! Thank God no one was behind us.

I have had several times where the "BRAKE" alert comes on the dash and the car brakes and will not excel. Note.. this happens when there is absolutely NOTHING in front of me. This is apparently a common issue as I am seeing that many people have reported this. I have reached out to my dealer with this however, because it does it when it wants to and not all the time, they have not been able to see it happen or know why.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking function was inadvertently activated; however, there were no other vehicles around. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not yet taken to an independent mechanic or local dealer for diagnosis or repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

The dealer states it’s multi purpose camera module is at fault needs expensive replacement and labor in excess of $ 1800

Travelling at approximately 47 mph, with nothing in front of me, the car's emergency braking system engaged completely unexpectedly, slamming my car to a stop. This caused a pick-up truck, to hit me from behind. The emergency brake light appeared at the exact same time as the car's emergency brakes applied. The driver of the other car confirmed there was nothing in front of me. The Honda dealer where I brought the car the next day stated there was nothing wrong with the camera or radar system. This failure caused an accident, and could have been much worse.

NHTSA ODI 11504223

I saw that this is already under investigation by nhtsa and want to add my name to the list. The car randomly brakes at times for no reason which I find extremely dangerous. It's never caused an accident for me, but I've had at least a dozen near misses of being rear-ended. I've tried to turn off the automatic braking but it still randomly slams on the brakes by itself. This system needs to be disabled as it's just a ticking time bomb. Your form won't let me answer the questions so I'll do it here: Date: Always Speed: Any speed Mileage: Since I purchased the car new.

2019 Honda Accord LX I purchased this car late September in 2022 from Mclarty Honda in Little Rock, Ar with less than 25,000 miles. To date the brakes have locked up multiple times on my way to work for no reason whatsoever and I have a witness to every time. I would be driving down hwy46 headed to Sheridan, Ar and the brakes would engage for no reason and completely stop my car in the middle of the road. Nothing would be in the road for it to sense/detect or whatever to even need to apply the brakes. I recorded a video of the brakes smoking like my car was on fire just yesterday morning when i got to work. I’ve called the dealership multiple times and they have no response or reason for why my car is doing this, I have even scheduled it to be repaired two times and the dealership hasn’t been able to fix the problem and it pisses me off they are even able to sell such a piece of shit vehicle. The dealership along with honda should be held accountable, apparently they have known about this issue since 2015 and yet to do anything to correct the issue just swept it under the rug and left the consumer to deal with their problems. Whats even worse is Congress has made it a law that new vehicles are required to have this worthless piece of technology installed on each vehicle, smh like they have any clue what the American people want or need lol and why is it taking so long for NHSTA to get a response from Honda? This is ridiculous and the people who are in charge need to get off their butt and get something done for the people instead of their pocketbook. Real talk

We own a Honda Accord with approximately 39,405 miles on it when we took it to the Bob Howard Honda Dealership located at 13201 North Kelley Oklahoma City, OK 73131 for repair/diagnosis on August 25, 2022. The failure of the Honda included every sensor displaying in the vehicle from emission to lane change, etc. The dealership stated that the only code they noticed was a low fuel pressure but there was no issue other than that and these new cars are sensitive to low gas in vehicles which they felt contributed to every emergency sensor warning displayed with safety issues. We picked vehicle back up and on August 27, 2022, my wife was stranded cause the vehicle just stopped and would not start again with the same codes as before. Just quit running while driving which was very unsafe for my wife. It took well over 3 hours waiting for vehicle to be towed cause HONDA doesn't have a shift release easily accessible on their ACCORD models when vehicle is unable to start and to be put in neutral cause it won't start. We had vehicle towed back to Bob Howard Honda and on Monday, August 29, 2022 they stated it needed a fuel pump which would cost around $1007.00. However, the fuel pumps are on back order with no timeframe for delivery and the warranty for this vehicle expired apparently at 36,000 miles. First off fuel pump should not have failed this soon for a brand new Honda Accord or any vehicle for that matter. This is a failure in manufacturing.

Driving my 2019 Honda Accord on major Interstate at night when car suddenly brakes hard at 75 mph with no other vehicles or oblects around. The car's AEB/CMBS systems were on at the time of the hard breaking which occured twice with 3 minutes of each other. I was fortuanate no vehicles were behind us because we could have been seriously rear ended. I have contacted and notified the incident to the Honda Dealership I bought the car from, but no response yet within 5 hours since I called them. No issues with the car prior to the incident
