When driving on a city street, there was a flat metal plate on the street (a plate that is commonly found when a street is under construction. Suddenly the car came to a violent, abrupt stop before the plate. The car stopped so suddenly that the whole car shook as if I was hit by 3 cars. My body jolted forward and my groceries flew off the back seat. I was on the phone (hands free) and the person I was speaking with became alarmed since they heard a loud, concerning sound. I had to sit there for a few minutes in the middle of the street to get my bearings. It was so alarming that I couldn't figure out what happened for a few minutes. I did not apply the brakes myself, so this must have been caused by the Honda collision mitigation braking system. This experience was so jolting that it stayed with me all night. This was very dangerous. I'm lucky there weren't cars around me because it would have caused a bad accident.

I bought the car on the 22 of May 2020.on the 17th of July 2020, I lost all brakes, TPMS, lane control, emergency braking warning. I returned the car to the dealer. They kept if for 5 hours. They told me the computer was updated. On Monday the 19th I had the same problem. I returned to the dealer on Tuesday the 20th of July, I went back to the dealer. They kept the car and gave me a rental telling they ordered the part from ghe mainland(I am in Hawaii). They said it would take 5 to six days to get the part and fix the problem. This is a new car, what's going on?

Approximately 10-15% of the time, when trying to depress the brake pedal before pressing the 'start' button on my 2020 Honda CR-V, the brake pedal cannot be depressed. It is firmly locked/jammed in place. In some instances, I can apply very firm pressure on the pedal, just enough to get the engine to start, but in other cases, the pedal cannot be depressed at all. When this occurs, pressing the 'start' button initiates the electronic systems but does not start the engine. Once electronic systems are on, the pedal sometimes remains firmly locked, and other times may slightly soften to the point that I can press the start button again and start the engine. During instances when the pedal remains firmly locked, I may have to press the 'start' button several times, cycling electronics on and off before the pedal eventually softens enough to allow the engine to start. The pedal issue seems random, regardless of warm or cold engine, terrain, weather conditions, use of parking brake, pressing the pedal repeatedly, etc. Based on other similar online reviews, there is growing concern that the pedal can lock while the vehicle is in motion, causing a loss of braking capability in affected vehicles including CR-V, Pilot, and ridgeline. Speculative causes may be a brake vacuum/booster defect. Two local dealerships claimed they are unfamiliar with the problem and a technician reviewing the vehicle said everything was working fine, so they apparently have not experienced the jammed brake pedal in person.
