I bought the car 4/1/2021, with 15,000 miles on it. In just 2 months, I have had two incidents of the car decelerating. When I was at a traffic light and from a complete stop, I accelerated and the car decelerated and almost stalled in the intersection. I was making a left-hand turn both times and if the car had stalled, an oncoming car could have hit me. This could have caused a serious accident. I notice there is a recall for this problem on other Honda models, but not my car. I am afraid to drive it now because i live in a major city and there is a lot of traffic.

JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 359XX MILES 3 DAYS AGO. AT 36,2XX MILES, WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON SAYING THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM, EMERGENCY BRAKE, TPMS, LANE DEPARTURE, BRAKE HOLD, HILL ASSIST, IMPACT SENSOR, EMISSIONS SYSTEM, POWER STEERING, AND THE INFORMATION SYSTEM ALL SHOWED AS MALFUNCTIONING. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT, THE NOTIFICATIONS STILL STAY ON.

EVERY TIME I DRIVE AT LEAST 30-35 MILES I GET THE MITIGATION, COLLISION AND ACC PROBLEM IVE TAKEN THE CAR TO HONDA 3 TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I'VE PAID FOR THEM TO RECENTER THE RADAR SENSOR BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK NOW THEY ARE REQUESTING I REPLACE RADAR FOR $1,500. THIS CAR HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT WHY AM I HAVING ISSUES ALREADY? ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF THE ERROR MESSAGE LEAVE BUT ONCE I GET TO THE 30-35 MILES IT COMES BACK UP.

MOST RECENTLY, DRIVING ALONG ON A SUNNY DAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON A FLAT ROAD. NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD IN SIGHT. THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM BEEPED AND FLASHED THE WARNING ON THE DASH. AT THE SAME TIME THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY BEFORE DISENGAGING. THE BRAKING LOWERED MY SPEED TO ABOUT 30-35 MPH. THE ONLY CONCLUSION I COULD REACH WAS THAT THE SYSTEM MISTOOK THE SHADOW OF A TREE FOR AN OBJECT BUT I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN TAKING AN EXIT RAMP FROM A HIGHWAY WHEN THE COLLISION WARNING FLASHED AND THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY, DROPPING MY SPEED SOMEWHAT, BEFORE DISENGAGING. IN BOTH CASES, I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE SYSTEM DISENGAGED, THOUGH I AM GLAD IT DID AS OTHER VEHICLES APPROACHED FROM BEHIND SOON AFTER.

ON FRIDAY, APRIL 2ND, I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE 710 FWY ON THE FAR LEFT LANE. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 75MPH AND THERE WAS AN OBJECT ON THE GROUND WHICH LOOKED LIKE AN EMPTY POTATO CHIP BAG, IT WASN'T ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE DONE ANY DAMAGE TO MY CAR BUT MY HONDA SENSE'S COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR NO REASON AND ALERTED ME TO BRAKE AND STARTED APPLYING PRESSURE. I HAD NO REASON TO STOP SO I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE SHOULDER LANE TO PREVENT MY CAR FROM BRAKING UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED INTO A DEADLY COLLISION IF THERE WAS A CAR CLOSE BEHIND ME. I HAVE FOOTAGE OF THE VIDEO AND REQUESTED THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IF THIS IS A FAULTY SENSORY ISSUE, I WOULD LIKE IT CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT FURTHER ISSUES. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF MY OWN VEHICLE AND IT TRIED TO OVERRIDE MY COMMAND TO KEEP DRIVING STRAIGHT.

IRREGULAR COOLING FROM AC, SAME TEMPERATURE CONTROL WILL FEEL COOL ONE DAY AND NEXT DAY IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS NOT COOLING MUCH AT ALL. I BELIEVE THERE IS ALREADY A LAWSUIT ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AGAINST HONDA, BUT I CAN ONLY BECOME A PARTY TO THAT IF I INCUR SOME REPAIR EXPENSES. I HAVE HAD FREON REFILLED TWICE AND RECENTLY HAD AC CONDENSER REPLACED (UNDER WARRANTY) BUT I AM STILL NOT CONVINCED IT IS WORKING OPTIMALLY FOR A CAR THAT BARELY HAS 5500 MILES, DESPITE BEING ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD.

THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.
