FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The Automatic Emergency Braking System brakes the car to a complete stop when there is no reason or no obstacle in the way. This has happened on two occasions. Once in Alameda, CA while on a connector bridge to the island and second on a city street in Walnut Creek, CA on 4/1/2022. The Automatic Emergency Braking Light has come on in excess of 20 times during normal driving. Although no braking occurred, the light flashed for no reason. The emergency stopping will eventually cause an accident if it continues. The car is currently under warranty and has been brought back to the dealer.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I read an article saying you're investigating sudden braking on Honda's that have advanced safety features, I wanted to comment on my experiences as they are moderately dangerous. There are 2 instances where my car will suddenly brake (and flash a warning on the dash) when it's not necessary: 1. Going under a an overpass during the day. The automatic braking system gets confused by shadows. If the cruise is on, the car will brake, though not all the time. Maybe half the time. Almost all the time, I will get a warning to brake, even if there is no one else around. 2. When I have the adaptive cruise control on and I'm on the highway in the right lane, if the car in front of me slows down to exit, 100% of the time my car will brake hard, and if I'm not paying attention to turn off the adaptive cruise, the hard braking and sudden declaration has nearly caused me to be rear ended. It's not safe, I didn't know you were looking into this so I've been ignoring it since I've had the car. Since you're looking into this, it has not caused an accident, but the hard braking is jarring and unexpected, both to me and people behind me. And it's not necessary, because there's no risk of accident, someone is taking a highway offramp. I have not brought this to a dealer to check out because it's happened since the first day I've owned the car. Again, this is repeatable, it happens 100% of the time. Hope this helps and I hope you can get Honda to issue a software update to fix this hard, unexpected braking. Thank you.

There were no cars in front of mine when the ABS system suddenly braked very hard. The car behind me had to slam on brakes to avoid rear ending me. This car is 3 weeks old and this is very scary.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
3-29-2022 forward collision warning - BRAKE - showed on display in front of steering wheel. There was no vehicle in front of me for a great distance. This had not happened before but the automatic braking system has malfunctioned 2-3 times per year for the 3 years I have owned this car. I reported that to this site last week and have discussed that issue a number of times with 5 dealer employees to no avail.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was going south bound up a hill. Less then 20 mph and was blinded by the sun. The old folks in front of me were also blinded by the sun and stopped in the middle of the hill. My automatic emergency braking system did not kick in and I ran right into them. We could have been hurt. My car is being fixed in a collision repair shop now.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Slowed down to go across a metal plate where work had been done on the street. Suddenly the car came to a hard stop. There was a car in the left lane that also slowed to cross the metal plate. Once before I was rounding a curve and the car softly broke on its own, but didn't completely stop. There was a car again in the left lane. had the car behind me been closer, I would have been rear-ended. There was also no cars in front of me at both times. The warning collision light did come on and beep. I did call the dealer, they check for recalls and there were none. No inspections have been done. I plan to take it to the dealer for inspection.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving on an urban street this morning at approx 20-25 mph, with cars in front and behind be (at least 2 car-lengths away. I had stopped at an intersection and continued on when the light turned green, following a car in front of me at a safe 2-car length distance. My car suddenly had a warning sound, and the instrument panel was blinking. When I looked to read it (flashing "BRAKE") the car had already started its emergency brake. It was approx 6:15am, and dark outside. The only thing that can be seen the might have caused this was a 1 inch metal panel on the road along my path (indeed the car stopped inches in front of it). A similar incident happened about a year ago, with a similar circumstance of a metal plate on a roadway (not the same road as today). Under a similar speed (30-35mph). That said, I have driven over other metal panels almost daily without incident. This incident seems to be similar to other reports on the news in late Feb 2022, which NHTSA is investigating. The car and passengers are safe. It was checked during routine maintenance about one month ago at an authorized Honda Service Center.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
In an incident dated March 28, 2022 a Woodbury, MN, driver attempted to shift from “Park” to “Reverse” to back out of the garage into the driveway, only to look down and find the shift button missing. They searched for the button and found it on the console, having fallen off while in “Reverse.” At the very least, this is an inconvenience. At the very worst, this affects the driver’s control over the car, and it may be disastrous in any situation in which they need to shift into or out of “Reverse” or "Park" very quickly.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the brake warning light illuminated as the brake engaged. The vehicle did not come to a complete stop. Several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle failed to exceed 40 MPH. The contact stated that the vehicle was hard to drive up a hill as he drove to his residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was diagnosed as a computer error related to the turbo. The contact stated that the computer was reset. The contact stated that the dealer test drove the vehicle 25 miles and the failure was not duplicated. The contact stated that two days after the repair, while driving 65 MPH with the cruise control activated, the brake warning light illuminated as the brake automatically engaged, jerking the driver who almost lost control. The contact was able to drive home. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the vehicle was awaiting diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The heating system on the vehicle is insufficient. The cabin does not warm up when idling in the winter. Defrosting on cold days becomes an issue which creates a potential hazard for visibility. The red bar on the temperature guage will not appear when idling and the temperature rises and the red bar appears only after the car has been driven. Searching online on this issue indicates this is an issue where many CRV owners have had this weak heating system issue. I contacted the dealer and they said "Yes we are aware of that. And that's the way it is and nothing can be done about it." So there appears to be no intent by Honda to address this weak heating system issue which is a big problem in winter weather. Thus my filing this complaint. Honda should perform a recall and correct this problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I was attempting to park in front of a medical professional building with my foot on the brake slowly rolling between the parking lines when the car experienced sudden unintended acceleration. Although I realized the car was accelerating and lurching forward, the brake was not stopping the vehicle. The car jumped the parking curb and crashed into the building causing damage to both the exterior and interior wall of the doctor's waiting room. While neither myself, my passenger, nor any patients in the waiting room were injured, someone could have been. The air bags did not deploy, and the Collision Mitigation system did not engage preventing the collision. Damage to the vehicle consisted of mostly front bumper and grill damage. When I called the local Honda dealership service department asking if I should have them evaluate the car before having body work completed, I was told that the dealership does not accept damaged cars until the body work has been completed. Consequently, I had the car towed to a body shop even though it was technically drivable. I did not feel safe driving the vehicle fearing it would suddenly accelerate again. I reported the incident to the Honda corporate office and a case was opened. I was again told that damage to the car had to be repaired by the body shop before the car would be evaluated by Honda. When the body shop completed the repairs, I had the car towed to the local Honda dealership for evaluation. I specifically requested that the Event Data Recorder be evaluated, but I received conflicting answers when I asked if it had been accessed during the inspection. I was told that the Honda District Representative reviewed the data from the inspection and invoice states, "no defects in materials or factory workmanship were found (NAME of tech) inspected and found no issues, relayed information to Honda and they advised the vehicle is ok to drive at this time". The vehicle was released back to me, but I refuse to drive it.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
About a year ago, my 2017 CRV braked for no reason. I was traveling about 30 mph and the brake warning light came on and the car braked suddenly. Fortunately, nobody was behind me. I took the car to my Honda dealer and they looked at the sensors but couldn't find anything. I do worry that this could happen again.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving about 30 mph across several railroad tracks when the car suddenly braked very hard, without my foot on the brake pedal. I saw the orange “BRAKE” sign on the dash, and the car just suddenly slammed on the brakes. Fortunately, no one was behind us. It was scary - if a car had been following us, they could have hit me. I don’t trust this car anymore.
