SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The car will automatically brake itself when no car in anywhere close to being in front of me. This only happens when I am going from the current lane to a left hand turn lane. It only happens when I do NOT have my blinkers activated. The braking does NOT happen when I use my blinkers. My best guess is the the use of the blinkers deactivates or overrides the sensors. This issue only happens at one particular turn near my house. I believe it has something to do with the lines painted on the road and how the sensors are reading them, but that is just a theory. This happens every time I drive by this intersection.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I will just be driving down the highway and sometimes the orange BRAKE light will light up and sometimes it will light up and just start slowing down. Several times I will be the only car moving thru an intersection with a green light and it will light up BRAKE and hit the brake. Not being ready to brake for no reason it throws us forward luckily we wear our seat belts, but I'm pretty sure safety equipment isn't supposed to do that.

POWER TRAIN
I had this car for a few weeks with 120K miles on it and the transmission died on me while driving and almost got hit with a big rig. Lucky the big rig has enough distance to slam that break. This car needs attention and recall with the transmission. Been reading a lot of faulty transmission for this model and no recall. Not sure if a crash or fatality will occur first before they will initiate a recall. Honda is a reliable company but has this many complaints and no recall has been initiated.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I read about Investigation PE22-003 and wanted to add to that investigation. There’s a small hill near my house where the automatic braking system almost always tells me I’m about to crash. The brakes are never applied because I figure I crest the hill before I get close enough that it brakes for me. But it still doesn’t seem to work quite right.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving on the interstate about two years ago when for no apparent reason the car suddenly braked hard. There was little traffic at the time. I assumed it was the automatic braking feature due to the display on the instrument panel. The brakes let off as suddenly as they had started. Luckily no other cars were nearby so there was little chance of being rear ended. There were no injuries or accidents as a result of this braking incident. Scared me half to death though! This has only happened the one time. The car is available for inspection as needed. I have never mentioned this to Honda as it only occurred once. There was no warning except for the simultaneous orange emergency collision warning on the instrument panel.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Phantom Braking when using Adaptive Cruise control. The vehicle brakes unexpectedly when adaptive cruise control is enabled. Typically happens when there is no leading vehicle in my lane, but there are vehicles ahead of me in other lanes. Happens consistently, almost every time the adaptive cruise is enabled. The system also applies brakes in situations when cruise control is not enabled, and there is no leading vehicle in front of me. Issue can surprise drivers behind me and lead to a collison where I am hit from behind.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Whilst driving on the freeway, on multiple occasions, the automatic emergency braking system of the car engaged even though there was no car near me whether in front, to the sides or behind. On one of the occasions the automatic breaks kicked in with no car around me or in front of me, I estimate I was travelling around 60 mph and the car immediately braked down straight to around 30-40 mph. If there had been a car travelling behind me I most certainly would have been rear ended. This issue is clearly a safety risk for myself and other drivers. Unfortunately, in my research online I haven't seen anything from Honda regarding this issue. I have not addressed this issue with the Honda dealer as per my research online from reports from other people with the same issue, the dealer doesn't do anything about the issue, therefore I haven't bothered taking the vehicle into the dealer. This braking issue occurred soon after I purchased the vehicle in February of 2018, within a month or two as I recall. There were no warning lamps or messages or symptoms prior to the problem ocurring.
