Example complaints
Forward collision avoidance: “After charging the vehicle. We reversed out of the parking stall. The vehicle braked really hard with no warning as if we hit something, but there was nothing for us to hit in the parking lot. The braking was so hard my body jerked! This is the second time the emergency braking engaged sudden. The first time a vehicle was near and the warning light did indicate vehicle but not close enough for the braking system to engage. It could have caused the vehicle to hit me from the rear if it was closer.”
NHTSA complaint #11736920, filed 2026-05Brakes: “My car will flash “brake system failure” and “one pedal driving” at least every two days. It’s very hard to stop the car when this message pops up. It’ll roll pretty fast, in order to stop it I have to slam on the brake pedal and push it to the floor. Turning it off restarts the system but it’s not a fix. the car has gone to Honda but they can’t recreate the issue. As of this moment, it’s a month old with 1,000 miles, and the car we transport our family in. Having brake failure this early is very concerning”
NHTSA complaint #11770184, filed 2026-10Other or unknown: “When using my HondaLink app, the connection to the vehicle often fails to establish. It reports unknown errors and fails to execute any command, such as unlocking the doors, starting the climate control to preheat the cabin, or starting, monitoring, or stopping the charging cycle. It is so frustrating that I often just give up and walk to the car to physically execute the command the HondaLink app failed to send. Further, the vehicle information is often out of sync, reporting the wrong state of charge, the time it would take to complete a charge cycle, and other details. …”
