“The CMBS braking system is completely faulty. It regularly brakes for shadows on the ground, going up hills, or for no reason at all. There have been SEVERAL near misses where cars behind me have almost rear ended me because of this cars erratic braking. I have a neck injury from this most recent episode of the car slamming the brakes for no reason.”
NHTSA complaint #11712100, filed 2026-01“I was driving on the street about 15 miles per hour when the car sensor sensed something in front of my car and stopped automatically when there was nothing in front of me. Almost caused a rear-end accident, luckily, the car behind was able to stop”
NHTSA complaint #11735969, filed 2026-05“My car slammed on the brakes on its own. I was almost rear ended. I was going 45-50 miles an hour. I think it saw a shadow. Previously it has alerted me to brake because of shadows. This is the first time it braked hard on its own.”
NHTSA complaint #11758011, filed 2026-08“With adaptive cruise control engaged and set on any of the four options, my odyssey’s speed slows down for a short time period then speeds up again as I approach the vehicle I intend to pass. This happens when my odyssey is about a car length behind the vehicle I intend to pass. This happens when I’m passing a vehicle on the left or right side. This doesn’t happen every time I pass a vehicle with adaptive cruse control engaged. I had this odyssey in a Honda dealership shop today, February 26, 2026, to hopefully fix this issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11720825, filed 2026-02“We get a warning light saying Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem . Van has 4200 miles and it happens during hot days, usually at lunch time. I took it to dealer Honda Cars of Rock Hill, SC but they told me there is no code showing up in the Van. I emailed honda America with video but so far no response. The system just goes crazy, beeping and the cruise control is no responsive to cancel button or anything. We are not even using the adaptive cruise control when this happens. After you drive for a while, it goes away, like nothing happened. …”
