The car randomly slams on brakes caused by the Honda sensing collision mitigation system. This is very dangerous

The TPMS light comes on erroneously..while driving, light came on. Ran the recalibrate function from the system screen - this takes about 30 minutes. This has happened three times - checked tire pressure and they're ok... 3435 psi...

Parking sensor design failure. The parking sensor alarm intermittently goes off when the vehicle is traveling 5 mph or less, sometimes even when the vehicle is not moving. This failure in the system is a distraction to the driver causing the driver to stop what he/she is doing to identify the alarm. Normally, this would not be an a major issue, however, when stopped waiting to turn left from one lane of traffic with little to no median, oncoming traffic will cause the system to constantly go off distracting the driver. There are also times when the vehicle is completely stopped and sitting behind another vehicle, that the system will again go off indicating the driver is about to hit an object even though the car is completely stationary. I took this vehicle to the local Honda dealer only to be told there was nothing wrong with the system and the system was designed this way. This system is a distraction to drivers and very likely could cause sensory overload to drivers if not corrected.

My car `collision mitigation braking system` has gone out several times. My car has rattling sound from the sound system in cold days. My car also has rattling sound when driving on road bumps.

*****asterisks are used in case your system does not support paragraph separation. *****while traveling on the highway with lkas on and lane markers registered (per the readout on the instrument panel), the vehicle will attempt to steer toward the very edge of the lane near a large vehicle (pickup truck, semi, etc). If allowed to continue while allowing the system to control the steering, the vehicle will maintain this position. *****while driving on the highway with the Honda sensing suite on, the vehicle will occasionally register tar patches and skid marks as lane markers and road departure mitigation will attempt to steer away from the marking which means the vehicle may or may not attempt to leave its current lane. **** above are reproduced daily, one of which almost caused an accident by attempting to steer into (and almost reaching before I could react) the pickup truck in the next lane. *****incident occurred one time: During heavy braking on the highway to avoid a read-end collision, the vehicle attempted to leave its lane. Vehicle has approximately 6500 miles on it at the time of writing and was purchased in may of 2018.

Takata recall my windshield cracked by itself when I turned the car on, while sitting on my garage. And it has no chip on it like when rocks hit it I had only drove it twice only

All Honda sensing lights goes off and see the dealer message shown on screen.
- Clayton, NC, USA
While talking on the phone the display auto screen went blank and after a few minutes it rebooted. On May 29th, I took it to a local dealership and they couldn't find a problem. Soon as I left the dealership it happened again. This time when I got off the phone the audio display froze. I couldn't get on the home screen, change the radio station. Then after a few minutes it turned off and rebooted itself. I called the local dealership the next day to report the issue. I purchased the car in Dec 2017and this incident happened more than once.

Bought this car on March 30,2018 new at great lakes Honda in akron, Ohio. As soon as I drove home, I noticed that the engine accelerate. Did not feel safe. Took it to the Honda store in youngstown, Ohio on 4/10/2018. 10 days later, the dealer does not know what is wrong with the car. Do not believe that the car is safe. Called the selling dealer( great lakes Honda) several times and left messages.they never called me back.ti believe they know there is something wrong with then car.

The traffic sign recognition doesn't always display the correct speed. It has displayed 100mph in a 65 on I-40 going from North little rock, ar. West. I do have a pic of it. Different areas it will either display the incorrect speed or not display it at all. My Honda dealer checked it out, stated it was working correctly. It does at time, at times it doesn't. I have talked with Honda, they stated there are various factors that can interfere with the camera reading the signs. This happens on city streets, access roads & the interstate. It's intermittent.

The brakes are very touchy. Feels like rear brake bias is very strong. Braking smoothly is impossible. Dangerous on slick roads. When I took it to the dealer, the tech drove the car and said brakes were normal. We drove another Accord and it also had touchy brakes. I have never drove a car with brakes this touchy. I had about 200 miles at the time. I now have 7000 miles and they have not gotten any better.

Whenever I put the car in gear and start driving forward a liability notice comes up on the large display screen asking me to read it and push ok - signifying that I read the message and certifying that I will be a safe driver (while driving). This is a serious safety distraction. I asked my Honda dealer to remove it and they said they could not as it provided liability protection for Honda. This "legal notice" causes distracted driving.

Serious crash control problem. I was driving on the interstate freeway in heavy traffic and a car cut in front of me. As I was trying to avoid an accident a large "brake" image appeared on my speedometer display distracting my eyes away from the road. The "safety feature" almost caused me to have a crash. I asked the dealership to disable the collision prevention system but they said they could not. This "safety technology" almost caused me to be in a serious accident by distracting me from the road.

Soy wire harnesses should be banned and recalls instituted to remedy the problem by either (a) replacing the harnesses with standard synthetic non-edible polymers as appropriate to the specific application, or (B) providing coatings that provably prevent rodents from consuming the insulation over the lifespan of the vehicle

TPMS low tire pressure warning comes on about every 2 days. Each time every tire is the exact same pressure and not low. TPMS is recalibrated, 2 days later it comes on again. Light comes on while driving. System seems too sensitive.
- South Lyon, MI, USA
I purchased a 2018 Honda Accord touring in October 2017 and since that time my low tire pressure light has come on around 8 times. It comes on while I'm driving and usally when I'm taking a trip but not alwasys; sometimes it is city driving. Each time I'm told to bring my car in for service. After several days it comes on again. I'm currently working with Honda coporation trying to get it resolved.

The car stutters or stammers when you press the accelerator/gas pedal at times, it does not do it at all times. It is dangerous. It was stationary at a stop light, or pullling off from a stopped position.
