“On december 26, 2020, I was leaving work, after a 12 hour shift at the hospital. While backing into an alleyway my car struck a large roll-off dumpster (which was caddy cornered in the alley) of the back, driver quarter panel and back driver door. The rearview camera, blind spot warning, parking collision warning, the rear cross traffic warning, nor the automatic emergency braking kicked in. I was going at a very low speed at the time of the incident (~1-2 MPH). …”

“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.”

“The major problem is that the passenger air bag will not activate when somebody between 65 pounds and 89 pounds set in the passenger seat. Honda owner's manual on page 63 states that the air bag is activated at 65 pounds. In the year that we have had this car, with my wife in the passenger seat, the air bag has never been active. The seat bell warring will say put on seat belt, but the air bag will never activate while driving. See attached email to NHTSA and Honda in february, april and may. …”

“Very loud roaring noise when driving about 50 MPH in cold weather on a highway. This not engine noise, but seems to a glitch in the automatic noise cancelling system that causes a feedback loop resulting in an alarming roaring sound that can cause driver to panic or otherwise be distracted from driving safely.”

“2nd occurence-while driving up a hill at approximately 30 MPH the warnings for brake system failure, acc, lane departure mitigationand collision detection came on. The first time it happened I was told that the sensor had been dislodged. This time they are saying that there is a crack in the tail light assembly which set off the warning system. The braking system and a new brake assembly is needed. The brake lights work fine. Even if they were both controlled by the same computer, the brake lights are on an output from the computer or pedal switch. …”
