    Car on a straight road, no adverse weather conditions. The collision mitigation braking systems shuts down. This has occurred during both day and night time and has happened six times. The radar panel was not obstructed. The cmbs can only be reset by stopping and restarting the car. I have contacted the manufacturer's customer support with no resolution. I have contacted at least two dealer service centers with this…

    The collision mitigation braking system and adaptive cruise control system has thrown an error and stopped working 5 times now. It has happened to me on long road trips on the highway at speeds of 50+ mph. It has happened less than 30 minutes after starting the vehicle and sometimes after 2+ hours of driving. The weather conditions have ranged from cloudy to fine (no snow or rain). This is extremely dangerous to…

    Collision mitigation system does not work; initial issue was warning systems went on with no one in front of car. Second time brakes were applied to vehicle with no one in front of car, leading to car induced panic stop on road, thankfully, no one was trailing my car at that time. Honda test drove and could not find anything; since this is sporadic, this was not surprising. Told them it is a very dangerous condition…

    Adaptive cruise control (acc) fails during use, the vehicle can automatically accelerate to a set speed and slow down when it senses a vehicle within a close proximity. When the acc is active and after a few times of needing to automatically slow down when another vehicle is in front of the vehicle, the system shuts down and an error message appears, " collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer".…

    The collision mitigation system and adaptive cruse control (acc) has on two occasions turned off at highway speed - potentially dangerous situation if you are depending on the system to regulate your speed in traffic. The car must be stopped and restarted to reactivate the system. Also, the system at times applies braking when there are no other cars or other obstacles in it's line of sight. This also seems to…

    Active cruise control (acc) failed while driving approx. 40 mph. Approaching the vehicle ahead of me which was rapidly slowing/stopping, the acc failed to slow my vehicle which forced me to manually apply hard braking at the last moment to avoid a collision. When i looked down there was an error message on my instrument cluster which read "collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer". The weather at…

    On 2018 honda accords the adaptive cruise control which is standards on all trim levels, does not brake the vehicle to maintain the set speed when going downhill. This is odd since the vehicle will apply brakes to maintain speed if there's a vehicle in front of the car, but on downhills all it will do is make several downshifts to try and maintain the speed. Every other car i've driven that has adaptive cruise…

    I engaged acc, that controls cruise control and frontal collision ,mitigation system, in normal traffic. While travelling at a speed of 60 miles per hour, following another car the spacing was controlled by acc. The car in front of me continued forward, my braking system engaged and caused me to go from 60 mph to about 35 mph. The vehicle to my rear had to take an evasive maneuver to avoid an accident.

    Cmbs problem... Was driving on the highway yesterday when the "collision mitigation breaking system" light came on and that disabled the acc i was using. Nothing particular happened, maybe i was braking at the time. I arrived at destination. Turn the car off and back again right away to see the warning light disappear and everything back to normal. I thought i was ok but it happened few hours later on the way back…

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.

    My collision mitigation system randomly fails which pops up an alert and disables my adaptive cruise control and automatic braking. It has happened various times when adaptive cruise control has been engaged with different environemental situatuons (day and night, sunny and cloudy). Turning off the engine and restarting typically corrects the issue for a time but it continues to fail intermently.

All three systems were nonfunctional. Dealer advised to drive through a car wash before coming in for repair. The car wash appears to have worked, but this is absurd!

    In the states where it snows, the car collects large amounts of snow on the front, and knocks out the radar system for the lane departure detection system, witch also is for the braking system, that helps with cruise control and any close encounters. I am not sure if it actually affects the cruise control because in the snow is not a time to use it.

    Collision mitigation braking system activated for no reason, on surface roads and highway speeds, vehicle slammed on brakes automatically, there is nothing on the road in front of the car. This has occurred numerous times. Dealerships told me that there was no registration in the warranty system because they were unable to fix the problem so no record of this problem was sent to honda usa.
