Vehicle was shut off at a tire shop to get new tires put on. Upon attempting to start the car again, a warning showed up on the screen saying "electronic brake failure". the car is equipped with electronic brakes that automatically turn on when the car is put into park and turned off. They are supposed to turn back off when the car is started, but on this occasion they were unable to turn back off. This stopped the car from being able to start at all, multiple indicators on the dash were throwing errors, the check engine light was on, the brake light was flashing, and it continued to show "electronic brake failure". when the dealership was contacted they said there wasn't anything they could do but to tow it 2 hours away to look at it, then they suggested disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes to get the brakes to release, which was done and did release the brakes and clear the error. Because the battery was removed, any codes stored were cleared so when it was brought in the car showed that everything was fine and they were unable to reproduce the issue. It seems to be a common enough issue now on all new Honda with the electronic brake feature to the point that googling it will come up with multiple forums talking about it.

The automatic breaking function is randomly applying the brakes, or warning to brake, at random times when there are no other vehicles or people around the car. The automatic braking system has applied itself 3 times, with very hard braking to the point that the seatbelts locked up, while merging or exiting the freeway, going anywhere from 25-45 mph'ish. One time I was almost rear ended and the vehicle behind had to swerve to avoid hitting me (because they were also tailgating), another time was while exiting a bridge, and the most recent was this morning while merging onto the freeway in front of a big rig and the brakes randomly slammed themselves on for absolutely no reason. While driving on surface streets it has automatically applied the brakes lightly at least twice, and given countless false braking warnings when driving around city streets. This is a major safety hazard!

I had just come off the highway exit on to the city street. I was increasing my speed and moving over to the left. Just as I got into the left lane the CR-V suddenly started to flash break on the dash in front of me and I could feel the vehicle break hard on it's own. I was lucky no one was behind me. There was no person/vehicle in front of me that I would need to brake for. I took the vehicle the next day to the Honda garage and they could not find anything. There was no fault code in the system nor could the technician duplicate this issue. I was lucky that this happen at night without much traffic if this would have happen going to work on the highway someone could have been seriously injured or killed. I have seen other CR-V owners report the same thing happen on forums. I am very weary now to drive to work with this issue. I used to love my CR-V now I don't want to drive it but have no choose as it is my only transportation to work.

I was driving my car about 2 weeks ago on the weekend when the car stopped suddenly while driving normally, there was no need for the brakes to be activated. I was driving straight at about 40 mph, there was a wall on the far left side of the road( about 2 meter height), anyhow, the brakes system should not be activated --similarly a year ago in 208 I had the same problem, brakes goes off by iteslef without any need for it...this is dangerous as someone could have hit me from the back.

On early Oct 2017, automatic braking system applied (slammed) for no apparent reasons at 45 mph. No cars were in front and luckily none was behind. Happened on mid day, clear and sunny day. There were several occasions that brake warning activated while no pending traffic. Went to dealer to checkup and was told "never heard of such issues with this brake issues". it totally did not make sense that the adviser recommended turning off brake sensing feature!? on a separate issue, front adaptive shutter malfunction while was on the highway causing loss of power. System reset itself after pulling off the road shutoff and restart the engine. Dealer said they were not able to replicate this issue and found no faulty problems.

On multiple occasions, while the vehicle is in motion, the system has made an alert sound and the instrument panel has provided the following notifications: "break system" indicator is lit; collision mitigation system problem; road departure mitigation system problem; and today (3/28/2019) while the cruise control was engaged, it also displayed adaptive cruise control problem. It shuts down these systems and the car drives with a slight "drag" to its movement. The only way to correct this issue is to pull over, turn the car off, wait, and then restart. The system checks itself and resets. This is unpredictable, cannot be specifically initiated, and therefore is difficult to take for repair when there is no indication at the time of the vehicle being in need of repair. There is clearly something wrong with the software, the computer, or an electrical connection. I am the original owner, vehicle was purchased in October 2017.

Vehicle was stopped at a light. When light turned green, began to enter the intersection when vehicle suddenly flashed brake warning and brought car to complete stop. There was nothing in front of the vehicle. Luckily the vehicle behind did not hit the back of my car. Third time since I purchased the vehicle that this has happened, bar braking with nothing in front of it.

- Arlington Heights, IL, USA

Driving on a multi lane road, no cars in from of me. My speed was about 45 mph. Collision avoidance braking system was activated bringing vehicle to an almost complete stop. I had 2 passengers who can corroborate story.

On 3-11-19 at 6:14 pm I was driving with my wife on a parkway. Weather was clear and sunny, 39 degrees. There were no cars in front of me. I had the cruise control set at 61 mph when suddenly my vehicle put the brakes on disengaged the cruise control and lane assist control. Then a code flashed up saying 'auto high beam problem'. after a 15 minutes to reach my home I checked the high beams it was fine. In the last 4 weeks I have had code flash on the screen while I am driving saying system failure, for 5-10 minutes. Consumer stated this was the sixth time.

Warning lights turn on every assistant system. Everything disables making the car unsafe to drive.

While driving in cruise control, the brake light will come on and the vehicle will almost come to a complete stop, with no one in front of me. My wife and I were almost in an accident when this happened on I-75 at 65 mph. Also, this brake light indicator will come on without being in cruise. This has happened over 6 times.

Oil level is going up. When you check the dip stick, it smells like gas amd it's over the maximum level. For the has pedal, when you press it it's squeaking.

While driving down 2-lane road with cars parked parallel the cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) activated at approximately 30 mph and abruptly stopped my vehicle causing the seat belt to lock. Reported incident to dealership and they updated software but were unable to reproduce fault. Several months later the cmbs activated again this time at approximately 45 mph and only momentarily. No vehicles were in front of me in either instance and thankfully none were behind me. This dangerous unintended activation of the braking system could cause an accident.

- Rocky Point, NC, USA

While approaching and crossing over a railroad crossing at approximately 30mph on a city street, the word brake flashed a couple times and my car completely stopped, so hard as if I slammed my brakes on and my purse flew off the front passenger seat and I was jolted forward, my seatbelt tightened. The same thing has happened one time since then. I'm not sure if this is a braking problem or front camera sensory problem but it was very confusing and scary.

When I got into car in shopping plaza parking lot I attempted to put my vehicle in reverse at which time and the gear shifter knob fell out and crumbled into pieces. Not able to move vehicle nor put in park. After inspecting temporarily put piece in which enabled me to get home. While driving felt very unsafe not knowing if it would remain in gear. Once home unable to put in park. Luckily vehicle has button brake system which enabled me to put brakes on and get husband's help. He temporarily enabled vehicle into park after which vehicle although in park never fully turned off. Due to christmas could not get to dealer til today. Battery dead. Charged, took to dealer replaced without comment. After googling, this appears to be an ongoing issue for a number of years. I believe this could cause dangerous situations. I personally was very distressed. This has not been a recall issue. I definitely believe it should.

Radio locks up and then indicator lights on dash flash - brake failure, vsa failure, TPMS failure, ldw failure, acc failure, lkas failure, cmbs failure. Had it at Honda service two times and they reinstalled software and did a hard reboot. Issue reared its head again Dec 14, took to Honda service with lights flashing for a computer read. Service scheduled for Dec 19 to look into issues and perform recall repair. Check engine light has been on since I took it in Dec 14. Car seems to run fine even with indicator lights flashing. Issue happened first time while on interstate going 70 mph. Secong time on backroad going 45 mph.

My car is having electrical issues with the Honda sensing. Braking on its own at random times at various rates of speed. The most serious on the highway at speed of about 75 mph. The car shut down and the computer systems had all kinds of codes of system failures. Also now we are having an issue of oil dilution due to gasoline. My oil was changed a few days later still over the full line and fumes of gas evident. Talking with Honda dealership currently where purchased and Honda corporate case was filed. So far they are down playing it in Texas dispite numerous consumer complaints and commonality of issue being reported at the dealership level.
