“On the highway going 75mph the collision mitigation beeped and locked up the brakes dropping my speed below 50mph before letting off. There was a car in the lane to the right of me on a straight section of the highway but was not moving into my lane. Luckily there was no one behind me.”

“I started to notice months ago, when stopped or idling, my vehicle begins to misfire or the RPM accelerates.took it in the dealership multiple times, they can't seem to diagnose the issue. This is a major safety issue, I have almost hit several pedestrians and other vehicles due to this issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11277731, filed 2019-11, 9,633 miles

“Not only does the infotainment screen sometimes black out when I am navigating, but the emergency braking sometimes kicks in on the interstate highway when there is no car in front of me or none on either side. I also get occasional coffee cup icons with a driver alert signal even when I am driving in a straight line, yet conscious of the need to steer a bit to tell the system I am alert. The alerts happen at highway speeds. This has happened quite a few times. …”

“On april 13, 2019, my brand new, 2019 Honda Accord sport 2.0t on the highway going 55 MPH, with mere/mild rain brought an alert of collision mitigation warning onto the dash. The car has since alerted me of the same problem about 5 times, in both wet and dry highway conditions. When taken to the dealer, they said the car had no records of the alert. Not knowing if the Honda sensing system will work is very alarming and I have become scared to drive the vehicle as I can not trust that the vehicle will perform as advertised. …”

NHTSA complaint #11291728, filed 2019-12, 2,593 miles

“Collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer. Warning has appeared seven times in the 4,300 miles I have owned the car. When the system errors the emergency braking does not function, the adaptive cruise control does not function, and even the traditional cruise control will not set. Turning car off and one does reset the issue but it keeps appearing at random times when I drive the car. I have taken the car to dealer multiple times they tell me they cannot do anything unless the warning light is on when they have the vehicle. …”
