“My Honda CR-V threw up warnings about road departure mitigation problem, collision mitigation problem, electric brake problem, TPMS etc. And my vehicle automatically slowed down in traffic. Since then it has been happening more frequently and now it almost always there. Vehicle has slowed down in traffic thrice since the problem first started in october 2020.”
NHTSA complaint #11395286, filed 2021-02, 35,000 miles“The safety feature reacts to shadows on the road. This has happened 3-4 times where if I'm driving under a bridge the car will beep and show a message asking me to hit the brakes. I think the car sees the shadow of the bridge on the road in front of me as an object and is asking me to stop/ hit the brakes. If the car ever applies automatic braking, then the car behind me can slam into me causing an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11389549, filed 2021-01, 53,000 miles“I was driving down a city street soon after a stop sign so maybe going less than 10-15 MPH. All of a sudden with nothing in front of the car the automatic braking system slammed the car to a complete stop. Luckily there was no one behind me or there may have been an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11377059, filed 2020-11, 30,000 miles“Malfunction indicators all light up at the same time. Mechanic can't find anything wrong, but he resets the computer and the lights go off....temporarily! The lights stay on until I go back to the mechanic. This is the second time. My car is no longer under warranty...if I go there, it'll cost a fortune for them just to look at it, and then another fortune for charging to 'fix' the problem. Car is stationary...happens when I turn the car on. I live in tucson, az, so I doubt it's the weather!”
NHTSA complaint #11396041, filed 2021-02, 152,456 miles“The car inappropriately braked, full stop, two times. The last event occurred on jan 9, 2021. We reported both incidents to the dealer. The car was inspected after the first incident in july 2019, and the technician could not replicate. We were informed the car is working as designed. The second discussion with the dealer (jan 11, 2021) resulted in the recommendation of adjusting the sensor length under customize features. It was described as a possible improvement but not a guarantee to fix the problem. We will make the adjustment tonight. …”
