“My cruise control will start randomly blinking , while my radio screen freezes My wipers always streak my windshield, I’ve tried all brands, I think it’s the windshield”

NHTSA complaint #11435222, filed 2021-10

“This is a dangerous problem and I expect Honda to have a major recall some day, unfortunately not today. Symptoms were two things, 1) ACC when on would not slow down with another car in front, it just kept accelerating into the car until I put on the brakes. Crazy dangerous. 2) The collision warning light would come on and beep loudly when there was no possibility of collision. Required replacing the radar unit, $5000 at the dealer. Dealer tech said that this unit is connected to every control system, brakes, steering, etc. Very dangerous to drive without a correctly functioning radar. …”
