I was driving straight down a residential street, accelerating and the braking system automatically stopped the vehicle and the transmission automatically went into neutral. The car motor was still running but the car was inoperable. The gearshift indicated the car to be in drive but would not accelerate. I moved through the automatic gear shift selections but nothing happened. The dash brake failure contact dealer…

Car has a safety sensor system called cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) that is supposed to help you avoid collisions. On 2 occasions this braking system has engaged for no apparent reason causing the car to brake abruptly in traffic creating extreme accident potential.

On 3 seperate occasions the car has seen a shadow on the ground and slammed on brakes then releasing for no reason. There were no other vehicles around me on each occasion. I thought the car was stopping on a yellow light on the first incident but was told by the service manager that it doesn't do that. This is a very dangerous issue that needs to be addressed. I asked the service manager to disable it but was told…

Brakes pedal making a loud thumping sound. Dealer will not fix. Since it involves brakes i feel it should be investigated further.

The braking system hesitates and grabs. It is like there are several stages or steps in the brake. It is almost impossible to stop smoothly. As you press the brake pedal in, the car doesn't slow normally until you hit a "step" or "notch" and then it just slows down rapidly and you go forward in your seat. This problem began as the vehicle had around 400 miles on it. The vehicle did not have the problem when i took…

Brakes do not stop smoothly, there is a dead spot in the brake pedal that takes extra pressure to get the car to stop. Makes the car stop suddenly when trying to brake smoothly. Dealer acknowledged the problem and replaced the master cylinder with no fix and now dealer says they neex to wait for american honda to allow them to replace the brake booster that have been successful for others on honda forums

I am experiencing brake pedal issues. As i put pressure on to slow down, at any speed, it feels like the brake pedal gets "stuck", then it grabs hard and lurches you forward in your seat. As i relieve my foot off and put pressure back on, it does the same thing: the pedal seems to go down in "stages". I cannot brake in a normal, smooth fashion. I have taken the car to the dealer that i bought it from twice in 2…

Three times during the first 1500 miles the collision mitigation braking system has failed, disabling that feature and adaptive cruise control, displaying a large diagnostic on the electronic dashboard and telling me to see my dealer. In all cases i was driving in normal traffic on northern california freeways at cruising speed (twice on 101, once on 80). The first two failures occurred during daytime, the third at…

Vehicle exhibited electronic brake booster failure after less than 100 miles of driving. The brake pedal has a hard "step" in it, and grabs very suddenly once the step is overcome. This makes smooth braking, especially when coming to a stop, nearly impossible. The suggested fix is to replace the electronic brake booster (01469-tva-a24). The new brake booster should return the brake pedal to normal, and restore a…

Brakes are very touchy and when braking pedal sometimes goes all the way to the floor. Car does not stop smoothly and it seems to have different stages when breaking. It also jerks when when lightly touching break while at a stop light and slowly moving forward.

Brakes grabbing and almost uncontrollable. At low speeds, touch brakes lightly and they do little to stop the car. Depress brakes harder and the pedal 'steps' in and the brakes grab abruptly. Very difficult to brake smoothly / non-abruptly. As a result, at least one time abs kicked in prematurely when road surface covered with snow. But core problem (grabby brakes) are irrespective of road surface.

Loud clunk is consistently heard and felt every time the brake pedal is released after being depressed. The noise is more pronounced in cold weather and can be heard above the radio and road noise. The loud clunk sound occurs whether or not the car is moving, or the engine is running or the ignition/accessory power is turned on. The noise can be consistently reproduced and emanates from the firewall area under the…

With 30 miles on my new 2018 honda accord 1.5l touring the brake alarm activated and the brake pedal became extremely hard to press. It was dangerous and i didn't know if i could stop the car. The dealer replaced the electric brake booster to fix the problem. There are many owners on the internet reporting the same problem.
