2019 Honda Passport Brakes Problems

“The automatic collision braking system activates on the highway on its own with no traffic in front of my vehicle and no reason to apply the brakes. It flashes the brake warning and then abruptly applies the brakes. This cause vehicles behind to abruptly apply their brakes. This is going to cause collision and loss of life. My wife brought the vehicle to the Honda dealer who cleaned the sensor and the vehicle did the same thing on the drive home.”

“The collision detection system frequently lights up the flashing brake notice under conditions that should not require a braking notification. It is too sensitive and I'm very concerned it will activate the brakes when not necessary and cause a rear end collision. This happens regularly and has occurred numerous times over the year we've had vehicle. The most noticeable is when when going around a curve and a car is in the other lane directly in front of you. …”

“Was driving 70mph on the freeway using adaptive cruise control (acc). No cars ahead of me, several behind. The car icon on my dash (lights up while using acc) began flashing then my Passport (on it's own) slammed on the breaks, forcing my daughter and I into our seatbelts hard, and forced the cars behind to slam on their breaks. The break warning that usually flashes on the dash when there's a reason to break didn't happen. It was a close call but everyone avoided a collision. Immediately took to dealership. …”

“The automatic braking system activated unnecessarily while driving on the interstate. The cruise control was set to 75 MPH. There were no objects or vehicles in front of my car during the brake activation. While cruising down the interstate, the brake! Message appeared and the vehicle automatically applied the brakes. I noticed that the vehicle shouldn't be braking and to avoid being rear ended on the interstate, I pressed the gas pedal to try to deactivate the system. Since the first incident it has activated unnecessarily again 3 times.”

“This problem has occurred ever since we bought the Passport in may of 2020 it is an ongoing problem and has occurred many times. Occasionally, while in motion and driving 45-60 MPH on a two lane road, particularly on a curve to the right (has occurred on straight stretches too) the anti-collision brake system will apply the brakes as a warning. The speedometer lights up orange with large letters twice in a row (brake! Brake!). At this time I can feel the brakes applied lightly and the dealers service writer has confirmed that the brake lights also activate. …”
