2024 Honda HR-V Forward collision avoidance Problems

“When I'm driving, the safety brake has engaged while I was already braking. Also the emergency brake system has engaged while no car was on front of me. The closest car was on a side street, braked, and waiting for me to pass so they could onto the street after me.”

“I was driving normally, and a car was coming up to a stop sign from my right side on a completely different road and the car jerked and the brakes automatically applied to the car and the dash blinked “BRAKE” for a brief moment. I’ve had the car for awhile and it has never done anything like that. Some days the blind spot doesn’t work either, when I know there is a car next to me the light on the mirrors and the beeping does not activate.”

“While driving, the car did an automatic hard brake for no reason. Traffic was accelerating after being stopped at a red light. The car in front of me was not braking and was accelerating away from me when suddenly the car hard brakes with no warning beforehand. It braked hard enough to throw me forward and cause traffic behind me to have to hard brake in order to keep from rear-ending me. There was an on ramp coming in near me but again that traffic was not in my lane. …”

“I own a 2024 Honda HR-V. Since I purchased the vehicle, I have experienced recurring warning messages stating: Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem - See Your Dealer and Road Departure Mitigation System Problem - See Your Dealer. I brought the vehicle to the Honda dealer and reported these problems. The dealer scanned the vehicle and told me that no fault codes were found. Despite this, the problem has continued. On one occasion, while driving at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle unexpectedly applied the brakes on its own. …”

“For the second time, while driving normally, with no obstructions in my lane ahead of me, my car’s collision mitigation system abruptly and harshly hit my brakes while warning sounds deployed. This was enough to cause me and my passenger to leap forward in our seats; thankfully we were wearing our seatbelts. I have not been to the dealership yet for this issue, but will tell them at my first oil change. I’m really angry because the jolt this faulty sustem gave us was enough to trigger a panic attack or even a heart attack.”
