Here is a description of the safety issues this car continues to have that the manufacturer and two dealers will not fix under the manufacturer's warrantee because they claim they can not duplicate and there are no stored error codes. This car has a lane departure mitigation (ldm) system that has falsely activated many times while the car is centered on the driving lane. The ldm activates by providing a warning on…

I was accelerating from a stop at a red light and once i hit about 10-15 mph, the collision mitigation system came on and slammed the car to a complete stop for no apparent reason. I have a dash camera video which shows the incident. This was on a clear, sunny day on a non-busy city street (overpass).

The dealer said something had failed causing the condition which was requiring more parts to be…

Rear brake pads are wearing quicker than the front, i barley have any life in the rear pads. (wearing out twice as fast as they normally should) just like what happened to the 2008-2010 accords. Honda looked at the issue and completely ignored it, they told me its dangerous if i dont change them and they didnt say anything about them wearing out quick.

The brake system alert is flashing on the dashboard while vehicle in motion and there is no break issue. It appears to be a flawed collision mitigation brake system sensor as this keeps flashing across the dash in big bold letters and wont go off. I just bought this vehicle brand new 5 months ago. When turning car off and back on the message is still there and wont go away.

When traveling at high speeds the brakes keep setting themselves. We were almost rear ended during one instance. The honda dealer has not been able to fix this very dangerous situation.

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…

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…

I was turning right into the parking space for my car at my home with my foot resting on the brake pedal and going at a very slow speed. Then suddenly the car accelerated on its own. I had to step hard on the brake, which made it veer to the right. I was able to make the car stop just short of hitting our other car. This happened once before about a month ago when i was driving in my driveway, again at a very slow…

When driving down the highway and higher mph (50+) roads, generally but not always with the cruse control on, the brakes suddenly apply themselves very hard causing the car to become a sitting target for cars coming from behind. This has happened a multitude of times and when it was taken to the dealer with a complaint about it they kept the car but returned it saying they couldn't find anything to repair.

Multiple errors involving vehicle's collision mitigation braking system (cmbs). Cmbs system fails regularly (approximately every 120 miles of driving) during routine use at freeway speeds. System failure shuts down adaptive cruise control (acc), collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) and displays error to "see your dealer".

When driving with cruise control and forward collision avoidance system enabled the car will at random times apply the breaks when there is nothing in front of the vehicle. So far this has happened during interstate driving approximately 2-4 times in the first 10,000 miles of ownership.

Car applies brakes while in forward motion. This only occurs when the cruise is set. I have noticed this happens when the sun is shining into the car. There have been a few times the car has applied the brakes, when attempting to overtake another car. Twice the car has applied the brakes when there are markings on the highway such as a school zone. I have taken the car to a honda dealer, and they have not been able…
