Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was stopped in cambridge in front of the mos pending a red light change and despite having the brake fully compressed the car moved forward slowly approx 3-6 feet into the car in front of it. There were no lights or warning. I had no control over the car. The car had less then 100 miles on it and there was no prior indication that anything was wrong.”

NHTSA complaint #11197285, filed 2019-04, 60 miles

“The automatic emergency braking system engaged on a clear road. It occurred twice since I've owned the car. Both times occurred on a wet roadway. I deduce that it detected changed in road surface color on areas that had asphalt patches. No injuries or damage occurred. I submit this after reading about an investigation into toyota's aeb system.”

NHTSA complaint #11255249, filed 2019-09, 6,000 miles

“1;42 pm, 40 MPH, on a road I frequently travel, sunny day no traffic ahead of me and for no reason vehicle braked hard and the words brakes showed on the dash. After a few seconds and before I could pull over it returned to normal. System designed to prevent accidents almost caused one. Very dangerous”

NHTSA complaint #11269775, filed 2019-10, 6,567 miles

“Unintended braking at 45 MPH. Full lock up with no cause. Released at 10 MPH. Clear 4-lane street, no curves, no debris, no cars nearby no shadows. I was in the left lane. Dealer told me not to use the adaptive cruise control in the city. (that is what sold me on the car).”

NHTSA complaint #11330637, filed 2020-06, 19,070 miles

“The automatic brakes have engaged three separate times, all while driving on the highway 60 MPH minimum, each time in the right lane. Each time, no cars were present, I didn't veer off the road and there was nothing to trigger the automatic braking system. Honda mechanic told me a bug must have been smashed on the sensor and that caused the braking. I find this hard to believe given this has happened three times in the last six months, including during cold weather.”
