ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
My blinker won't appear on the dash. My trunk won't open. My back up camera won't come on at all. Can't adjust my exterior lights, stuck on the dimmest setting and can't change. Lights will also flicker and I have no control over it. My radio screen told me to enter a code but wouldn't allow me to. My break system light was on. There is warning reading adaptive cruise control see dealer, automatic emergency braking see dealer, lane departure warning see dealer. Doors locked and unlocked while driving. Air condition wasn't blowing the temperature it said, and acting as it was on low when it was on the highest setting. It is available for inspection upon request. I brought my car into a Honda dealership today. My car had to stay overnight because they were unable to address the problem. There were no prior problems or warnings beforehand. All these problems first appeared when I started my car for the first time on November 14, 2024. These put myself and others at risk because the doors locked and unlocked which could have caused us to get trapped in. The lights not working put me at risk at night because I could not see the road that good.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN
The vehicle's transmission stalls when trying to accelerate, causing unnecessary RPM fluctuations. While going downhill with the brakes applied, the RPM gauge spikes pass 4000 RPM causing the car to accelerate rather than slow down. when this occurs, extra pressure has to be applied onto the breaks to slow vehicle down. If enough space isn't given to the car Infront, pressing the break will cause a crash. Accelerating too fast on the highway will cause blown head gasket if transmission is stalling. This seems like a common issue with 1.5L engine & Honda's CVT transmission as other owners has been through similar issue & proven by independent service center. I've taken the vehicle to different dealer for inspection. only recommendation is transmission fluid change. Dealers refuse to do anything regarding the actual issue at hand.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
The 1st thing that happened was that all the components of ADAS stopped working in the spring of 2023. All the warning lights turned on in the middle of my commute home from work. It was very intimidating because I thought the car was going to stall in the middle of the highway, so pulled over to the side. I contacted Honda dealership and they were going to charge me to diagnose the problem. So I went to Autozone and it diagnosed my problem as "System too rich (Bank 1)". I went to an independent mechanic and they had the same warning on their machine as Autozone. They tried replacing an oxygen sensor, that did not work in getting rid of the problem with all my warning lights turning on. Again the ADAS component lights turned on and the system did not work. The next thing they did was replace 4 fuel injectors. I have not had any issues with my car since concerning this problem with fuel too rich.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The Collision Avoidance system activated twice for no reason. Inspection is available. I and my passenger were jerked by the rapid stop & could have been rear ended if anyone was behind me. The second event was in an intersection when I and the driver behind me were driving slowly. if the car behind wasn't alert, he or she could have collided with me. No one was travelling in front of me and yet the brake suddenly engaged. The dealership rep. did not confirm the problem after driving it 5 minutes. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms before the brake engaged in both instances.

Supplemental RestraintSystem Problem warning keeps coming on. I have taken it in to the dealership and made them aware of this. However they keep telling me that when I take the vehicle in they don’t see anything wrong with it and that warning light isn’t on. I have been told to take it in when it stays on completely. It never stays on completely, it comes and it goes. Worried

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Have taken my car to dealership 3 separate times for all warning lights illuminated. Last time they replaced the transmission for a CVT belt prematurely breaking and all codes went away for one day. Now all are present again. Emmisions system warning, lane departure warning, cruise control warning, exc. Every single light never goes out. Just spent 6k on a car that had under 100,000 miles because I was told it was the transmission belt only to come home and have the exact issues happen. The day it was taken to the shop, it stalled in the road and almost caused an accident on a major highway. At this point, I'm afraid to drive it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
10 months after purchasing my vehicle from the dealership, all lights illuminated on the dash, it goes through each warning every time you crank. This would not go away. I took it to the honda dealership during a recall and they said they could not find the problem. Suddenly this week, after owning this car for 2 years and being told the issue could not be found, and only 90,000 miles, the car made a sudden stop on the road almost causing an accident. The car would not move forward or reverse. We had to have it towed to a dealership and waiting to hear issue. This is an extreme hazard! And I may be stuck with a costly bill once again, with no resolution.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The automatic emergency braking system malfunctioned on 7/18/24. I was driving approx. 20 mph on a local road and there was no vehicle, pedestrian, or other object in front of the car when unexpectedly the orange warning to brake came on and an instant later the car braked on its own and came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. Given the sudden and forceful stop, I went forward into the seat belt. Fortunately, there was not a vehicle behind me as I would have been rear ended putting both me and the people in the other vehicle in danger. I reported the incident to the dealer using their online system (I wanted to do it in writing, but could not find a direct email address), but have not heard back from them yet.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving along the NJ Turnpike at approximately 65 miles an hour when the brake warning light started flickering on and off and then the brakes engaged. It was quick, as if I had stepped hard on the pedal. No vehicle was in front of me, but I was driving through the express EZ Pass lane. Later that same day, it happened again, but this time it was only as if someone tapped on the brakes. The brake light flashed then too. To answer the above questions: What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Collision Mitigation Braking System, and yes it is How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Someone could have rear-ended me Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The brake light warning flickered on before each instance
