“Was driving on the highway and it started to lightly rain and I received the following error on my dashboard some driver assist systems cannot operate : radar obstructed and my truck started to brake by itself. I pulled over on the side of the highway and didn't see anything obstructing the sensors. The error stayed on until I got home and parked my truck.”

NHTSA complaint #11376347, filed 2020-11, 43,800 miles

“All electrical warnings spontaneously engaged on the panel; disabling cruise control and adaptive tools (emergency braking, lane warming, 3rd party vehicle encroachment, etc). The car drives fine. Has happened 6 times in the last 2 years. Either spontaneously resets when I turn the car off and then on, or I have to disengage the battery to reset everything.”

“In February, 2023 all of the warning lights came on my 2018 Honda CRV, including brake failure, lane departure and many more, making me afraid to drive the car. Dealer wants to replace fuel injectors, but none are available! I’m afraid my car is a danger to myself and others on the road, since all the warning lights continue to appear. HELP!!”

NHTSA complaint #11534265, filed 2023-07

“Steering wheel feels like it almost locks up and driver must give a slight jerk to turn wheels! Makes a clicking or rattling noise when car is stopped when starting to turn the steering wheel. Very scary and dangerous when driver has to jerk the steering wheel traveling on the highway to keep vehicle in the safe lane. A wreck will happen which is what I told our local Honda Dealership!”

NHTSA complaint #11476162, filed 2022-07

“Lane departure warning activated when I was trying to change lanes. I believe I forgot to activate directional signal. Car suddenly braked hard and steering wheel jerked severely causing me to lose grip on the wheel. Vehicle was forced back into lane I was leaving. This hasn’t been duplicated because I turned off the lane departure warning system and I haven’t used it since this incident.”
