My vehicle was in motion at 35 mph with no traffic ahead of me and one vehicle to the driver-side rear. With no obstructions in the road or traffic ahead of my vehicle for at least a half mile, the emergency braking system activated flashing a "brake" warning light on the dashboard and locked the brakes causing my vehicle to come to a quick and complete stop in live traffic. Attempts to override the system by…

Three times now i have had the emergency breaks activate for no reason. No one was injured the first time as the vehicle was moving very slow. The second time this happened though, i was injured. I was driving approx. 45 mph down a busy street when the car stopped without warning and for no apparent reason. I was nearly rear-ended. Not only did this scare me, but i was in extreme pain afterwards. When the pain got…

Police officer was behind me when it happened last. Good thing he had good reflexes and the speed limit was only 45 mph i was in the center of my lane with no obstructions, no vehicles coming from the opposite direction. Turned off the program and haven't used…

I purchased a new 2018 honda accord sport june of 2018. I have had my car into honda more than 7 times for the same issue with the brake mitigation system. The car brakes on its own with no reason. Honda said it could be an air freshener hanging on the rear view mirror, bugs, rain, snow, and even a shadow from a bridge. They say every time i have brought it in that no errors come up in the system so they reset the…

Collision mitigation braking system problem which causes the adapted cruise control to deactivate itself all of a sudden when driving in high or low speed traffic, happens on highway or regular street, all kinds of weather conditions from rain to sunshine. Very scary especially while going on i-95 in high traffic that is all moving very fast. Has happened at least a dozen if not more times and the dealership could…

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…

This had happened one other time before, luckily the car behind me wasn't following too closely and i was going less than 30mph. A couple weeks after that while going highway speeds and wet road conditions, a warning light came on stating there was a problem with the collision mitigation braking system and to see dealer. Once that…

On multiple occasions, while driving on the highway, my 2018 accord has unexpectedly braked when there was no object/car in front of me. When there is car stopped in front of me, the sensors do not kick in for emergency assisted braking. Something is definitely not right with this car.

I purchased my cars about 4 months ago and noticed some issues as soon as i left the dealership. First there's no mileage digital speedometer, only kilometer. As soon as you switch to miles it disappears. Second, the car play system often times resets itself while in driving mode , also happens a lot when gear is shifted. Third, lane sensor system is completely defected as well and cannot be trusted for a second,…

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. I saw no road…

On 2 separate occasions my car's automatic collision mitigation system has engaged without notice and any reason. There was nothing in front of my car and the car braked suddenly while i was driving 45 mph. The last time this happened i was thrown forward and back with a jerk. Since then i've been experiencing lower neck and shoulder pain. I disengaged the collision mitigation system and will take the car into the…

I've had the car for 4 months, and the car has come to a stop three times on a busy state route at rush hour, and once on a street when the road expanded from one lane to two. I am now turning the cmbs off every time i get in the car. However, the braking system still engaged! I must cross over a solid white line to access the freeway, and i'm scared that the car will stop there every day. One day was bright and…

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…

Today was the second time that my car applied brake by itself when i was driving 65 mph on the freeway and there was no cars in front of me. To mention that my 2018 honda accord has the automatic brake system but i got use to how it works its nice , but sometimes it applies brake for no reason and its scary because this system disconnect the gas padel when applied and its scary and unsafe when it is acting weird and…

I was driving on the freeway when the traffic came to a sudden stop and my emergency collision mitigation braking kicked in. I proceeded to press the brakes myself and the computer automatically locked the brakes and would not release for nearly seven seconds. I was completely stopped on the freeway and almost rear-ended due to the brakes not releasing. I pressed the gas several times and press the brakes to try to…

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.

After my "brake system" light came on and the dealership denied it even though i had record of it, my car decided to see how fast it could hit the brakes. I was driving on the us-60 in phoenix, arizona with adaptive cruise control on, traveling at 65 mph during morning rush hour, so it's still dark, on a 6 lane freeway. I can see brake lights far ahead, so i lightly tap my brakes to disengage acc and slightly slow…

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.

1) when depressing the brake in motion or from a parked position there is a 'clicking' noise that happens intermittently. It sounds like a gear is stuck or something is stuck. It doesn't happen every time but it happens often enough that it is noticeable and does not sound like a normal noise. 2) honda sensing light will flash even when no object is approaching and will continue to flash.

See your dealer." the vehicle was in motion at the time and the brakes had not been applied. This did go out after turning the car off and restarting it. I took it to a honda dealer but they would not help since the warning message went off. However, it…
