Re: nhtsa recall 18v-629 dealer reprogrammed the display audio unit, as required by the recall. The reprogramming failed to solve the problem, in fact, it made it worse.. The display now starts and reboots at random while the car is being driven, including when it is in reverse. The service manager told me that he has the same problem with his own 2018 honda accord. The problem only occurs when the car is in motion.

On several occasions this cars collision mitigation system has applied the brakes without any reason and this is a very serious safety issue for the public at large and needs immediate attention from honda. I've seen some complaints about the 2017 and 2018 crv doing this exact same thing.
