SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
When you're driving down the highway your break automatically come on. The brake light comes on it goes beep beep and the brakes slams on really hard and you can hear you the brakes grinding. And there's nothing in front of you no cars or anything and it's done that three times on me just today. It's been doing that off and on for about 2 months now.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I've taken this vehicle to dealership 5 times between October 2021 and February 18, 2022. Three different times the brakes activated without my touching them. Three other times the brakes stopped the car even as I was slowing down for a stoplight. This could cause someone behind me to "rear-end" my car. I have been to my dealership four times and they could not duplicate the issue, no codes found so they could not fix it. One other was a dealership out of town. On the fourth visit to my dealership, the cameras were adjusted and front wheels aligned. After fifth visit, the service coordinator supposedly turned off VSA, but the brakes applied themselves two more times. Every time these incidents occur the indicator "BRAKE" flashes on. I tried to scan invoices but they were too large.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Just bought This 2022 HRV AWD EX back in October 2021. I already have one prior issue with the emissions problems and the brake system. When I took it to Honda they said they would take care of it and they did. Something about calibration and getting a part for my car. This morning I tried driving it when out of nowhere I get all the parking lights emissions problems and parking lights flashing and the car won’t even go faster than 10 mph while white smoke coming out of the exhaust and starts pulling and yanking it’s pretty scary when you driving and it happens out of nowhere. Now the I can’t even drive my brand new car that I bought. it shows me on the dash for me to pull over and park. Take to dealer sign on dash.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, SERVICE BRAKES
Our 2022 HR-V continues to have a problem with the windows fogging up after driving a few miles. This happens when it is very cold outside. (Below freezing) I have also had two incidents when the inside of the front windshield has had a thin layer of ice and I have had to scrap the inside before being able to drive. The front brakes seem to grab when first applied when wet or iced.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
The SUV decelerated rapidly while driving uphill on the grapevine in Los Angeles. I was driving 70 mph and then the SUV's speed just started to drop and I was pressing down hard on the accelerator. This may haven been an issue with the engine or the transmission. My daughter and I could have been seriously injured or killed since we were surrounded by cars going 70+ mph and no one could have expected our SUV to decelerate so quickly on this stretch of highway. We really could not figure out what to do. The dealer said they could not replicate it, but I have had this happen more than once. I told them how serious this was, but they said they could not help me. I have read online of others complaining about the same issue for both the CRV and the HRV (www.thedrive.com) and I read that this issue has been reported to the NHTSA before so I wonder how the Honda dealer has never heard about this before. The SUV has not been inspected by anyone but the dealer. The SUV also intermittently shakes on the highway as it picks up speed. This also appears to be an issue others have experienced. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms appeared for either issue. Both issues present safety concerns.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Car parked. When I went to drive, engine light, ((P))! Light and park light remained on. The car would NOT go into reverse. Turned car off. Turned car back on. After 15-20 mins car went into reverse. While driving on I-95 all 3 lights turned on with the Park light blinking. I pulled onto shoulder. Googled causes. I checked gas cap which was on tightly. This is extremely concerning as it states there is a problem with the electrical braking system. I purchased the car on December 11th 2021 and it’s already having issues. I was driving with an infant in the car. Someone needs to investigate why this happened and how to fix it before people end up in an accident.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN I START MY CAR AND SHIFT IT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE ON COLD MORNINGS, THERE IS A PRONOUNCED DELAY IN THE CAR MOVING. IN ADDITION, WHEN I HAVE TO ABRUPTLY BRAKE THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY SLIPS AND/OR SKIPS. I BROUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT SEVEN WEEKS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES AT THE STAGE. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A HONDA ACCORD WITH 310,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO DECLINE SIMILAR TO THIS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THIS ISSUE. THE WEATHER IS STARTING TO BECOME WARMER AND MY CONCERN IS THAT THEY WILL MINIMIZE MY CONCERNS UNTIL IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MIKE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT I HAVE A CVT TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, A CAR'S TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE DELAYED IN MOVING ESPECIALLY IF IT IS NEW. I AM WRITING BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT SOMEONE ELSE TO EXPERIENCE PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE WITH PERFORMANCE ISSUES.
