The collision avoidance system or whatever it is called suddenly slammed on the brakes when I approached a slight left curve in the road at 35 miles per hour (the posted speed limit). The system has activate at least 3 times before at the same place in the rad and same speed, for no apparent reason other than possibly a sign or tree that is close to the edbe of the road. However this time the braking was so severe it could have caused an accident if a car had been closely following me. I pass this place imultiple times every week for over a year, but the braking problem has only occurred 4 or 5 times.

While performing a straight, slow speed stop at red light in city traffic, in dry weather with no road debris, the brakes feel spongy, like they are not operating at full power, and is unable to stop the vehicle. Pressing harder on the brake petals causes a loud rumbling noise from the braking system that sounds like ABS system engaging. The vehicle does come to a full stop, but a low rumbling noise continues while stopped. When driver releases brakes, before pressing the gas pedal, the vehicle lurches forward abruptly and rumbling noise stops. Subsequent operation of vehicle returns to normal. This sequence of behavior occurs sporadically. It has occurred three times in the last four months. I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership. Inspection by a certified mechanic did not uncover any cause for this behavior and no error codes are recorded in the vehicle's computer. Mechanic indicated that without a reliable way to reproduce the fault, it is difficult to know what went wrong or how to fix it.

I was driving to Honda dealer on March 6, 2019 for my second oil change as a result of me calling the dealership and telling them my oil smelled like it had gas in it again. This is with less than 700 miles since the first oil change that I had done on February 13, 2019. My first oil change was with 4525 miles, this was done as part of a recall on my vehicle. On this March 6th trip I was about 40 miles away from the dealership and my acc (adaptive cruise control) shut down, the collision mitigation system problem and road departure mitigation system problem lights all came up on dash of car and kept scrolling on dash. When my car did this I was unsure, felt unsafe and was frustrated as not knowing what was going on and how many more problems I am going to have with this vehicle. I found a safe place to pull over and called the dealer and told him what was going on, he said the car was safe to drive but those systems that were scrolling on dash weren't operating. It was 6 F outside a clear road and a sunny day in North Dakota. After the oil change, I was told the oil was high and that there was again gas in my oil again. At this point I am beyond frustrated and wondering how many more problems I will be having with this new vehicle and the nearest dealership to me is 100 miles away, which causes me time and expense to get to dealership. This also causes me to wonder how reliable this new vehicle can be in North Dakota in the winter time as also not getting much heat out of the heating system either, so between the heat, the gas in the oil and electrical problems I am not feeling that this is a safe dependable vehicle to drive, as a person could freeze to death if ended up stranded when the car shuts down and no heat, like it did when I had my appointment for the recall on 2-12-19 and it had to be put on flat bed truck to get recall done.

The collision mitigation braking system was activated when I drove over large metal panels that were placed on a city street in Chicago. I have attached documentation. It happened twice in same spot, Jan. 8 and Jan. 10, both times I was accelerating to get onto the highway ramp, so the impact of the brakes locking up was extra severe. The dealer said he had two other people with same experience, but one going over railroad tracks. The dealer and Honda told me the only way to turn off this system is to manually do it every time you start your car. Thank god I did not have somebody close behind me when it happened, or I would have been rear ended. The regional case manager did not return my calls for a week, and when he did he said the car was operating properly. I told him in the city of Chicago(where I work) I drive over about 15-20 metal panels like that every day, going each way. I am afraid I will forget to turn the system off one of these times, and if I do and I get rear ended, I will hold Honda responsible. I was completely dissatified with the letter they sent me, not adressing my complaint at all, the the case manager was very rude on the phone. I asked if my Honda dealer could disable this feature, and was told no. There have to be many other consurmers out there that live in cities that have this same problem. There is no way to adjust the sensitivity to large metal objects. The way Honda handled my complaint is totally unacceptable to me. * also have photos of the exact spot that this occurred, if needed, I can upload the photos

While driving back home from work suddenly my CRV stopped abruptly and no cat, dog or other object was in the way for this to happen, if a car would of been near in the back it would of crashed my car because of this suddenly stop. I don't feel safe driving it anymore.

I really started thinking about an incident from two days ago, when I received a "vague" 2018 Honda CRV recall notice on my car for an A/C control unit replacement, etc. Today. That notice prompted me to begin searching online for anyone documenting "spontaneous braking." I did find several that would say exactly what I would have said in their place. In other words, braking hard enough to an abrupt stop that if someone had been behind me I would have been rear ended. Things were thrown from the seats to the floor when I was going quite slowly (on this neighborhood side street).coming up on an area where a large steel sheet had been placed by sewer workers over an opening in the lane I was in. I was so shocked that I lowered my passenger window to call out to two of the workers that, "I didn't do it, the car did." Yesterday I went back to that same location to examine exactly how the spot appeared. It definitely looked like the type of road condition that a kid's tricycle is built to easily pass over. I purchased this car on 9/28/2018. In the recall notice, they referred to: What is the product update issue--following that it says--...there are reports of vehicles experiencing drivability concerns. These concerns can result in the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) turning on. Oh! really! just a "concern"? I'm hoping to find out more about this, and have it fixed, before I, or someone like me, become a statistic. I don't think of an A/C issue as having anything to do with 'drivability.'

On a city street, after slow acceleration after leaving a stop sign, with no cars in front of me, the collision avoidance system suddenly engaged and hard braked the car. Luckily no one was behind me or I fear I might have been rear-ended! also I am concerned that Honda has not acknowledged a problem with the earthdream turbo 1.5 engine causing gasoline to enter the oil. I live in Maryland, usa and Honda has done recalls in china and now Canada to address this issue as well as poor heating, but not in the usa. I am deeply concerned that this will cause engine damage in the future long after the warranty has expired and Honda will not accept liability! I am also concerned that there has been no recall to address problems with the gear shift lever. Many owners are reporting that the button you must push in to shift into or out of park will break without warning, preventing shifting gears.

The car has several electrical problems with the new safety features. On 3 occasions, the car has "hard braked" by itself for no apparent reason (no cars nearby). Also, the car "beeps" intermittently when it shouldn't. this indicates a problem also with safety features. The auto walk-away lock feature does not always work. The settings are for car to auto lock & it does sometimes & sometimes it does not! the mirrors light up warning that there is a car in the lane next to me & not to enter lane, it does this when I'm not changing lanes-defective also.

- Lebanon, PA, USA

On 3 separate occasions, the Honda hard braked by itself, almost causing an accident. If I didn't have my seat belt on, I would have been thrown through the windshield. There were no other cars around, or I could have been easily rear-ended by another vehicle. The car was moving, when it suddenly stopped by itself very abruptly and very hard. This happened on a small street with no other cars present.

- Lebanon, PA, USA

Gasoline present in oil. Smell in cabin of car. Dip stick smells of gas and is indicating over filled. Please find a solution.

The brakes failed when in reverse. The reverse sensors do not detect movement, the car does at intersections. A blue vertical line appears when the car is in reverse. The panel freezes...all this happened when the car was in motion.

- Honolulu, HI, USA

On two different occasions while driving on the freeway, with no vehicles in the vicinity, my car abruptly applied the brake system. I didn't think to make note of the speed or date when it happened the first time, but I did make note of the second occurrence. During both occurrences, econ mode was turned off. Speed was 58 mph as I had merged over to the right to an exit lane. I did check online for any recalls for my VIN and/or the make and model of my vehicle. No recalls were on record. I also checked different forums and found a couple complaints within the last month. I just purchased this vehicle from the Honda dealership 3 months ago.

- Sacramento, CA, USA

I was pulling into a parking space, approximately 5 mph, applying the brakes to stop when the vehicle suddenly accelerated and was only stopped when it hit a concrete barrier.

- Oceanside, CA, USA

Car accelerates rapidly, surges forward when I step on the gas. I could not stop in time to avoid collision.

- Harrison, NY, USA

While driving Monday, 08/27/18, my car abruptly applied the braking system. I was going about 35 mph in town driving, not the freeway. There was a car in front of me about 4 or so car lengths. There were cars to my right and the rear but none were so close that I was in danger of hitting them nor they hitting me. There was no audible or visual warning on the dash. There may have been some resistance with the steering but unsure at this time. I've looked on-line and noticed this has happened to other drivers and there is no fix. I purchased my car from Honda cars of mckinney and went to speak to service dept on 8/30/18, to see what remedy they can suggest. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

- Plano, TX, USA

Collision mitigation braking system activated inappropriately while traveling at 45 mph, on a clear day, straight road with no oncoming traffic. "brake" displayed on dash with no warning alerts at the time the full brake came on. Driver and passenger thrown forward, locking seatbelts.

- Penfield, NY, USA

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. when the vehicle was started, an abnormal vibration was coming from the engine compartment. Additionally, the brake, TPMS, park, adaptive cruise control, and several other warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. An appointment was made with mills Honda (8465 mn hwy 210, baxter, mn 56425, (218) 825-7525) to have the vehicle diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000. The VIN was not available.

- Browerville, MN, USA

I was pulling my Honda CRV into a short driveway to park in front of a closed garage door. My speed was less than 5 mph. As I was in the driveway within 5-6 feet of the closed garage door, the engine revved and car suddenly accelerated. I could no longer feel the accelerator directly under my foot and applying the brake did nothing to stop the car. Acceleration continued, car went through garage door and crashed into concrete wall at the back of the garage. Not sure what speed the car was traveling when crash occurred. Given the short distance, maybe 20-30 mph. Airbags deployed. No issue with floor mats or other objects near the accelerator.

- Saint Paul, MN, USA

I was driving about 70mph on the highway West bound in the morning, no direct sunlight, it was an overcast day. I had the adaptive cruise control on. For no reason at all my car slammed on the brakes, did a moderate nose dive and locked my seat belt. No warning what so ever. There was not another car for at least a 1/4 to 1/2 mile in front of me. Unfortunately there were cars behind me. I quickly disengaged the adaptive cruise control and floored the gas, avoiding an accident from the rear. I had this identical problem with a 2016 Honda civic touring, and every time I reported it, the dealership would blame sunlight, even if there was none when it happened. Something needs to be done about this.
