“Car suddenly brakes, panic breaking, with no warning and for no reason, causing me to be in danger of hitting from behind as there is nothing in front of me causing the people behind to slow. Once this happened on the interstate, with all 3 lanes clear in front of me. I was surprised the guy behind be didn't hit me, as most drivers are following to close, counting on seeing any danger in front of them through my windshield, and in this case there was nothing.”

“On july 7th, 2020 I was turning into a parking space at my employers. My foot was on the brake as I coasted into the parking spot. The auto suddenly lurched, accelerated, jumped the curb and hit a brick wall. My foot was on the brake the entire time. The wall is what stopped the auto. I reported this to Honda. They evaluated the auto and found no computer notifications of a malfunction and therefore no issues with the car. I no longer feel comfortable driving this auto.”

“Incident #1: 04/29/2019, 562 miles on odometer. Vehicle was backed up into the parking spot and stopped the vehicle showed yellow brake system dash light and 2 warning messages one was generic brake system problem. Second was elaborating that brake fluid may be low and instructing to check if brakes operate normally. I checked the brake pedal and it had noticeable less resistance. After a minute the condition cleaned itself, the error messages disappeared, the brake pedal feel returned to normal. I did not have enough time to document the problem. …”

“I was driving on a city street at about 30mph. There was no one in front of me or behind me. Nothing in the road. The orange rectangular brake light came on for no reason, kept flashing and it felt as if the brakes were automatically being pumped, slowing the car down to a compete stop. In addition, I had no control of the steering. It was very dangerous situation which could have resulted in accident or injury.”

“Twice the brake hold system didn't hold and creeping up on vehicle in front. I stomped on the brakes and it delayed in engaging almost hitting the car in front. For several moments the brakes wouldn't respond. (Where was the car going? We were stopped, brake hold engaged.) Previously the dealership checked the brake hold system, saying it was okay.”
