Returning to Maryland from Indiana in several locations along I-70, I-79, I-68 auto braking engaged for no reason at all. Road crews plow with blade slightly above pavement possibly avoiding damage to rumble strip so we can't see lane divider lines or edge of road solid line when accidently touch the rumble strip brakes engage immediately when beeps alone should suffice. Other times it appeared the system thought we were about to have a head on collision and again braked suddenly and often. We think the headlights of cars way off in the distance where trees near them created a kind of strobe effect fooled the sensors where ever they are. I had to cancel all safety systems to avoid more problems like this. Solution recommended: Require Honda to allow us to turn off auto braking in bad weather so sensors don't cause panic to drivers not understanding what's happening. When roads are slick as ours were you really don't want vehicles sliding out of control because of a system intended to keep us safe. I can tell you drivers around us thought we were intentionally trying to cause mischief and I'm certain the only reason we did not have an accidental is because I put blizzac snow tires on my 2018 CRV touring and kept my thumb over the cancel button so I could recover quickly but eventually had to disable all that because it happened too often. I get cramps in my leg when I can't use cruise control and I paid a lot of money so I would be able to use adaptive cruise and other safety systems that simply made this car more dangerous. I'm angry, frustrated and want something done about this!!! yes roads were sloppy, slick and traveling below speed limit of 70 because of conditions. Only when we got to Maryland did conditions improve. Had to drive 1/3 of our 550 mile trip with these problems happening disengaging entirely after hagaarstown md. Can't trust it.

While driving on I-95 over an open road with no overpasses in Georgia with no traffic in front of the vehicle for at least 20 car lengths, the sun roof exploded. The car had 2400 miles on it and the sun roof had never been operated. The sky was clear and the morning temp was in the upper 30S. The roof cover was closed. The glass blew outward from the center with a tremendous bang causing me to come close to looking control. I pulled over as soon as I could. Most of the glass had blown over the car on to the roadway. Some of the fractured edges blew back on to the cover. This would have stuck the driver, a front seat and rear seat passenger with significant force had the internal cover not been closed. There was a good chance the driver would have lost control had he been injured by the glass. Fortunately he was driving at just under the 70 mph speed limit on a straight section of road with little traffic. The driver is a retired engineer. The front seat passenger is an aerospace engineer. Based on our experience the failure is clearly a design or manufacturing issue. It is a new vehicle less than a month old. The outward nature of the explosion and lack of any indication of fod support this. Unlike any other car glass failure I have seen this small piece of glass blew up into thousands of loose pieces endangering both occupants and vehicles in close proximity. A photo is attached.
