Car starting throwing all error codes at once. No issues driving, took to mechanic, could not find any issues. Did this 3 times, was advised to see Honda dealer for possible computer system update.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The auto brake feature engaged on the beltway by itself and caused the car to come to a complete stop while cars behind us were forced to swerve out of the way to avoid a serious accident. My wife is afraid to keep driving the car and we are now figuring out a way to get rid of it. Reported to local dealer but did not get any response.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Turn my car on and every light on my car is currently flashing saying nothing safety wise is working. Googled it and it seems to be a major problem that Honda isn’t fixing.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Fuel injector for Cylinder 3 failed. This has been a 6 month issue starting with simple cold start issue misfire with cylinder 3 (didn't know this was the issue then). I mentioned this issue at my last oil change (about 3-4 months ago) due to it getting worse, and was told there was nothing wrong with my car. A couple months later, I noticed my AC had quit blowing. Fast-forward to 1 week ago, I got on the interstate and tried to go around someone when my car went into full idle mode because of the misfire with cars speeding behind me and a car to the right of me and could not get over for safety. This almost caused a crash on the interstate due to the misfire issue. I took my car into the dealer today (December 5th, 2022), and was told it was a misfire with cylinder 3 (code P0304), and it was the fuel injectors. I did have them fix the issue since I need the vehicle. Honda Recalls specifically state that there is a misfire issue with P0304, but says it does not include my VIN. I believe this is an error on their behalf since half of the issues described in the recall notice describes the issues of what was happening with my vehicle.

AIR BAGS
I hit a pothole in my car, and the side roof airbags deployed, compressing my neck and back, and left me with a head and back injury. No other airbags deployed, and there isn’t a single mark on the body of my car. No warning or indication lights at all prior to the incident. I have not made an insurance claim or police report, there were no passengers or other drivers involved. I am not prepared to pay a deductible for repairs that were unexpected and no fault of my own. The airbag deployed for no reason, and I do not want to liable for the repair costs. This also likely totaled my car, and I’m very lucky my son was not in the car with me at the time.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On December 1, 2022, I was driving my 2018 Honda CRV on an expressway at 45-50 mph when the car's automatic braking system activated the brakes unexpectedly while the vehicle was moving forward. I was driving in the middle lane on an expressway with nothing close in front of me and it happened without reason or warning. My passenger and I were lurched forward. Fortunately, no one was driving close behind me. The dealer has not been notified at the time of writing this complaint.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
On 11/30/22 my wife was driving at 32 mph with no vehicles in front, when suddenly, CR-V brake warning light flashed and came to a complete stop. Approx. 20 minutes later vehicle did it again but, this time not a complete stop. Concerned about this happening at higher rate of speed and getting rear ended. Called dealer and no recalls. I have read on internet, other drivers having similar experience with these models. This would be the third time in 6 months that it has happened. No warnings prior to incident happening, just flashing brake warning light with tone.

POWER TRAIN
This safety issue was not revealed to me at purchase. Vehicle is a push button start and stop and does not have an electronic parking break. Vehicle can be turned off while in Drive, however the gear train does not remain engaged. INCIDENT: The car was moved by my husband who does not drive the car and is accustom to driving a keyed vehicle with ignition interlock. He is also hard of hearing and did not hear quite beeping. When he moved the vehicle driving the car to the inclined driveway, he turned car off using the push button without putting the car in PARK. The car remained motionless until he opened the door and got out. The car began to roll backwards where the door knocked him down and ran over his foot. My husband sustained minor injury. However the car continued to roll about 50 feet before colliding into a stand of trees before it was stopped. The car sustained significant rear end damage. This is a SAFETY issue. I called American Honda to report this issue. They claimed they knew nothing of the above stated design problem and suggested I take the vehicle into the dealership for a diagnostic. I did and Serra Honda of Brighton ran a diagnostic and reported :That the car can be turned off while in drive and that the car does not have any system that will prevent the car from moving if the car is not in Park. The car is operating as designed and will roll if not in park. My complaint #at American Honda is case #[XXX]. There are many reports on the internet concerning Honda CRV, Civic and Accord, for certain models and years that have this problem. There should be a recall to correct this obvious safety in design issue. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2021 Honda CRV Hybrid. 11/9/22: When accelerating to merge onto a highway, moving at approximately 50 mph, the vehicle rapidly decelerated as driver tried to accelerate (went into limp mode), the check engine light came on and the engine made a continuous clattering sound. The vehicle would not go above 15 mph in 55-60 mph traffic. Driver put flashers on and drove 1/2 a mile to the first exit, lucky he could move to the right lane. Vehicle was driven 1.5 miles home at 15 mph and lower. Didn't drive car on 11/10/22. Car driven to dealership on 11/11/22 because there was no indication of anything wrong -- no sounds or dashboard lights or limp mode. Drove to dealership where a scan indicated engine misfire DTC: P0304 was stored in the system. Dealership cleared the system and could not recreate the incident after swapping spark plugs and coils and driving 163 miles over 3 days. Took car home on 11/15/22. Six days later, on 11/21/22, the same thing happened on the highway: as driver accelerated, the engine light came on and flashed and stayed flashing, the engine made vibrating noise, and lost acceleration (limp mode) down to 6 mph on the busy highway. Going 6 mph with flashers on, he was able to reach the ramp for the next exit and pull over on the shoulder. On the shoulder, driver made a video of the engine making clattering sounds and of the engine light flashing on the dashboard. He turned the car off, waited a few minutes, then turned the car back on. Everything seemed fine. Driver exited the highway and drove to the dealership which has had car since 11/21/22. Having no ability to accelerate, and having the vehicle go into limp mode -- having no control -- on a busy highway is extremely dangerous and frightening.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Phantom Braking Incident. As I was driving at approximately 35 mph, the vehicle applied brakes for no apparent reason. Luckily, the vehicle traveling behind me didn't crash into the rear of my vehicle but had this happened when traveling at higher speeds, there would have been a serious accident. This has happened numerous times since owning the vehicle, but only the 2nd time I've reported it here.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
The indirect TPMS system on my 2019 Honda CRV is a safety hazard. The TPMS alert light stays on all the time, even when all tires are properly inflated, when all tires are the manufacturers recommended size, and all tires have adequate tread to meet all safety regulations. The dealer acknowledges the system is poorly designed and was probably implemented because it is cheaper to manufacture than a direct TPMS system. The dealers have no remedy, therefore, Honda should be forced to recall the vehicles and make necessary changes to create an effective TPMS system.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
My car has done this phantom braking multiple times before, however this time it managed to pull my car into a curb and pop my brand new back tire and ruin my front tire. This is a huge safety issue because if there was anyone in front of or behind the car could’ve caused a major collision. I have done some research and noticed this has been an issue on previous years of my vehicle. I feel unsafe driving my car and my dealership has basically told me there is nothing than can do and that is not acceptable with me. The fact that my life was put in danger due to a malfunction with the forward collision warning is absolutely ridiculous. I will probably never buy another Honda if something is not done to correct the issues.
