FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving about 35 mph with nothing in front of me and suddenly, the “brake” warning came on and the automatic brake engaged. There was a car behind me, but thankfully far enough behind that a rear end collision did not occur. I’m very concerned. I think the system is called CMBS (collision mitigation braking system). I would just as soon not have to have it!

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving on a road that the car has been on hundreds of times. Flat, straight, dry road with no other cars around. The car all of a sudden braked very hard and the "BRAKE" light started flashing and beeping for about 3-4 seconds and then went off and then the brake fully released. It was like hitting an invisible wall and fighting to maintain control of the car at the same time. It came out of nowhere and was so shocking. There was nothing around me and no reason for the AEB system to be used. I can't tell you if my foot was pressing on the gas or had lifted to maintain speed. I do know that my foot was on or lifted above the gas pedal and nowhere near the brake. I am shocked it didn't cause an accident but I am guessing that is because I held tight to the steering wheel and possibly because there were no other cars around. I have severe whiplash, a major headache, backache and am very scared driving the car should it happen again. I have not gone to receive medical treatment yet but it is highly likely that I will need it. I will be contacting the dealership as well to discuss.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Paint on top of the hood is peeling and causing rust. Upon talking to 2 different paint and body shops, I was informed they have had other Honda owners with pearl white paint come in for same issue. I took my car to local Honda dealership and they informed me there is no recall on this paint so they can’t do anything. However, when doing google search there have been numerous issues with Honda paint. As someone who paid thousands of dollars for car, getting maintenance only at Honda dealerships and not getting in any accidents, now I have problem that costs thousands of dollars and there’s no responsibility from manufacturer. Someone needs to address this issue

AIR BAGS
I was driving straight on the freeway maintaining the speed limit when the driver side side curtain airbag and driver side seat airbag spontaneously deployed. Due to the loud noise and not expecting this to happen I was in complete shock but was able to safely move the car off the freeway with very obstructed vision due to the airbag being deployed. I lost temporary hearing in my left ear due to the loud explosive sound as well as it hitting me in the head. If it had been rush hour traffic this could have easily resulted in an accident killing myself as well as others on the road. The car was taken to a Honda dealership where it was inspected and a diagnostic test was done. There was no indication that the airbag should have deployed per the diagnostic test which concluded that no collision was suspected or detected thus deeming it as a result of a faulty sensor. There were no warning indicator lights at anytime that appeared prior to the incident. National Honda was notified by the dealership and they stated this was not their financial responsibility to repair but ours. I too contacted Honda services and field a claim and was told that we would be responsible for the cost of the repairs to fix the sensor and replace the airbag.

POWER TRAIN
Mechanic noted that drive shafts were corroded and unsafe and they were replaced. This appears to be the same issue as NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:20V-769, however, my VIN was not covered under this. I think this issue affects more than the accords with CVT transmissions in recall 20V-769. I bought this car and live in MA.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The car began having problems approximately 6 months ago. The problems would happen for a week and then stop occurring. The car slows completely down to 5 mph while on the highway, causing traffic to swerve to miss causing an accident. We have received a few letters stating that the fuel pump recall was active for our vehicle with a complete description of what was going on with our car. We got a letter stating that minimal fuel pumps are available, so contact your Honda dealership ONLY if your car is currently showing signs. We waited until it started showing signs again. This week it started again. We called and set up an appointment for July 3, 2024, but today the car lost power every time it was driven with near accidents occurring many times. The car was taken to the Columbia MO Honda dealership. They tried to charge $69 to look at the car after we told them about the recall. We refused to pay, they looked at the car and said it was several different things other than the recall, acting like they were unsure of the reason for the inoperable car. Nothing was fixed. We left the dealership, and the car will not go over 5 mph so it is parked 40 miles from our home. This car is the office of the owner, and this is very disheartening. We called the Honda Automobile Service Center and after hearing there was nothing they could do. I became upset telling them, “I guess I will need to get a lawyer or when the car causes a collision and death, I will be suing Honda.” She then offered to set up a case, but I would be added to a workload and who knows when we will get a call. She also said that when our July 3 appointment comes, they will still need to diagnose the car and order the part. We need a safe vehicle NOW. All warning lights come on when this occurs.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
my car has been severely malfunctioning due to the fuel pump recall. I have had to avoid several accidents due to the loss of power at high speeds, stalling, and sputtering. My car started experiencing these issues last December and I was told by Honda to take it in to be diagnosed (which I did), and then I was told there was no fix or parts at that time because it was due to a faulty fuel pump. I parked the car and I had to find rides to work until I was unable to, so I had to start back driving the vehicle. The issue became severe again about a week ago. My car completely stalled and would not accelerate at all at a traffic light. I proceeded to turn on my hazards and call for assistance while turning the car off. Eventually the car was able to be moved after about 20 mins of being powered off. Luckily, I wasn't far from my home, I turned on the hazards and slowly made it home and parked the car. I'm currently afraid to continue to drive the vehicle because of safety concerns for myself as well as other drivers on the road. My car stalls, shuts off, will not start back up, and sputters, and all of the lights on the dash are on. The first incident I was almost hit by another driver because of the loss of power. I have reached how to Honda several of times and had the car diagnosed and done everything I was asked to do but I am still being given the "run around" and they do not seem to be making this a priority matter. This is my only car, and it has been a major inconvenience for me as well as been very unsafe for me to operate my vehicle and I still do not feel they have any plans to resolve this matter anytime soon.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On Thursday, [XXX], I was driving on the highway at around 35-40 mph when the car suddenly turned off. The dashboard screen went black, and I had no control of the steering wheel. Thankfully, I was able to control the brakes and traffic was slowing down but I still was suddenly in the middle lane of a highway without any control of the car. I tried to turn on the car several times and by the 5th or 6th time that I press the power button, it finally turned on and I was able to drive out of the highway. I decided to take the side streets to go home and I was able to make it home safe. I took the car to the dealership the next morning (Friday [XXX]). The car stayed at the dealership until this afternoon (Saturday [XXX]). However, they said that even though they found the failure codes in the computer log, they were not able to replicate the problem and therefore, nothing was done to the car. I did some research on my own and leaned that this is not an uncommon problem with this kind of vehicle. There are a few reports online from people that had a similar situation happened to them: [XXX] What component or system failed? ALL, THE CAR TURNED OFF ON ITSELF WHILE DRIVING Is the vehicle for inspection? YES How was my safety or the safety or other put at risk? I WAS AT RISK OF CRASHING OR BEING CRASHED ON AS I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A HIGHWAY Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed? THE DEALER FOUND THE FAILURE CODES ON THE COMPUTER BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE Has the vehicle been inspected? YES, BY A HONDA DEALER Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure? NO. THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE DASHBOARD SCREEN WENT BLACK. ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED AFTER WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE AGAIN INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE BRAKES
Driving at low speeds in Somerville MA on [XXX]. 1 yr old car with about $6k miles. It was a hot day. Front display lit up with warning about brakes being degraded and take to dealer. It also showed tire warnings, and traction control warnings. I believe acceleration was greatly reduced. Pulled over. Turned car off and on, and most of the errors cleared, except a brake warning. I drove 5 minutes home. Power cycled again, and the brake warning disappeared. I put a code reader on it, and it showed numerous communications issues. Problem did not repeat. I took to dealer. They confirmed the codes, and communicated with Honda corporate. Honda confirmed they were aware of the problem, but they do not have a solution yet. Google Search showed that it is an isolated problem. If it had happened at highway speeds, it could have resulted in a major accident Attaching code report to show communications errors INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
