“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). …”
NHTSA complaint #11387057, filed 2021-01, 34,856 miles“Forward collision warning stopped working after a system upgrade on my 2019 Honda Accord hybrid. I activate the forward support and immediately it turns off. This is a safety issue. The system assist in breaking in time to maintain car distance and avoid a collision. Contacted Honda. I was told to take it to service at my cost.”
NHTSA complaint #11652461, filed 2025-04“On multiple occasion my vehicle will brake unexpectedly with no object in the road or surrounding my car. It has done it at freeway speeds as well as driving through parking lots. It often will sense construction repairs on the road and think I am departing the lane again slamming on the brakes (on the freeway) I have luckily avoided accidents but have had numerous close calls.”
NHTSA complaint #11549462, filed 2023-10“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11662692, filed 2025-05“I was driving on a local urban street, probably 20 mph, when car suddenly braked hard for no reason. My foot was not on the brake at the time, and there was not a car or potential collision in front of me to trigger this. I reported the problem to the dealer, and they performed a software update. They weren't able to tell me if it was a general update or one specific to this problem.”
