“When driving the brake warning light will flash even if I car or object is in front of the car and then just go away or at times the light flash and the brakes will lock this happens on the city street or highway”
NHTSA complaint #11406973, filed 2021-04, 15,000 miles“System gives false positives and tries to slam on brakes with nothing in front. This happens quite often so I have to disable the system but still get the warning frequently”
NHTSA complaint #11376247, filed 2020-11, 5,000 miles“Very frequent false warnings for collision braking system. Bushes, road signs, roundabouts, oncoming traffic, etc. Will false trigger the system. Many owners reporting false warnings or braking but no fix. Distracting and dangerous when it happens. Once the vehicle slammed on the brakes for no good reason due to a car turning off the roadway far ahead at low speeds. The system is distracting and could in some circumstances apply brakes when no reasonable threat is present. Careful driver who leaves distance, and I now disable this supposed safety system to be safer from it.”
NHTSA complaint #11376260, filed 2020-11, 5,000 miles“I am writing to formally request goodwill assistance regarding a significant hardware failure in my 2019 Honda Passport. My vehicle is currently experiencing diagnostic trouble code U3000-49 (Internal Electronic Failure of the Multipurpose Camera Unit), which has completely disabled my Honda Sensing suite, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Collision Mitigation. …”
NHTSA complaint #11759609, filed 2026-08“The vehicle has made multiple abrupt emergency brake activations in non-emergyncy situations. Nearly causing a crash multiple times. It's my opinion this system is severely flawed and extremely dangerous - not only to me but anyone around me. SHAME on Honda for allowing this system to drive on our roads.”
