FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The Automatic Emergency Break is applying when no obstacles found and all of a sudden it was stopping. Recent incident is when I was returning from Costco, neither object nor vehicle exists on my road, it was small bridge and is clean out of any obstacles, but suddenly the warning is appeared on the dashboard and Automatic break was applied by vehicle. I was on the speed limit of 15-20 miles/hour and there were no vehicles behind my car otherwise it would be a major accident. Luckily I didn't bring my wife and new born kid (Day's old), else they would hit the driver seat and passenger seat due to this sudden break and I may need to rush to hospital as there is newborn inside the vehicle. And I was totally blank when this was happened. I stopped my vehicle sometime on the shoulder and started later. Earlier to this incident, good no of times, my vehicle was forecasting the warning messages on Dashboard though nothing was there, I thought may be sensor is covering the objects with broader angle but suddenly stopping the vehicle for the first time. As Honda is providing the major safety features, I was purchased this CR-V particularly and thinking I am safe on long drives, but this incident is changed my mindset and now worrying in future if it happens what to do? For a speed limit of 15-20 itself it was trouble me, if it is in a highway with a speed limit of 70, I can't imaging what would have happen? Please take this as a complaint do a investigation as required.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Traveling a city street about twenty to twenty five mph when the vehicle abruptly stopped/braked. It stopped so hard I thought I hit something. The BRAKE warning did not flash before the stop. I think it flashed when the car stopped. I put the car in park, got to see if I did hit something. Nothing. No animals, children, balls etc in front of the vehicle. There was a steel street plate. I do not recall if the vehicle was on top of it or just before it.

Additional info related to complaint number 11454465. While driving on I-74, the car in front of me moved over to the exit ramp then slowed down because there was a sharp curve on the ramp. My brakes engaged unexpectedly but my lane was now clear. I looked down at the dashboard and noticed that my car was still sensing that there was a car in front of me. Then sensor turned off and the brakes released.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
New Jersey: While driving to work (I am a healthcare worker) at 5:30 am on Route 9 North in Manalapan NJ, at a speed of approximately 50 miles per hour, the brake warning light went on and the car unexpectedly slammed to a full stop. No car was immediately behind me or they would have crashed into me. My purse, coffee and book on front seat went flying to the dashboard. Prior to this event happening, the Brake warning light would go off even if no one was in front of me or anywhere around me. the Honda dealership in Freehold NJ dismissed my concern and said there is nothing they can do without recreating the problem. I called the Freehold dealership and was told the service manager was out for a month, no one is covering for him. I asked to speak to someone else in the service department and they told me to drive down and they will have a technician drive with me to see the problem. I told them it was random and never happened before, but to no avail. I asked if I could turn off the Collusion Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and they said no. Just to adjust the ACC (low speed follow) to long. I insisted on being seen today, but am concerned that this will happen again.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Periodically the driving assistance will break the vehicle when there is no reason. It happens both when changing lanes as well as when driving straight-on. The warning light "Brake" appears on the dash and the breaking system engages. It has not put my safety at risk, but it is disconcerting when it happens.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While driving on the highway, my Honda CR-V Hybrid flashed an error for "12 Volt Battery Charging System Problem." I was stunned to receive an error on a vehicle with less than 2000 miles, and while my passenger was attempting to assist me in determining what to do next, the vehicle began to slow on its own. I was able to engage my emergency flashers and pull to the shoulder before causing a collision. I turned the vehicle off, and it returned to normal operation. After I made it home safely, I contacted the Honda dealership via their website to schedule an appointment. After engaging with them through the chat feature, my contact information was taken for a return call to schedule an appointment for review and repair. I was never contacted by the dealership.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was stopped at a red light, and when the light turned green, I accelerated and then maybe 2 seconds later the car suddenly braked. I was in the middle of the intersection. There were no cars behind me. My safety was put at risk because if there was a car behind me, it would have rear ended me. I took the car to the dealer the same week, and they told me I can turn off the CMBS (collision mitigation braking system).

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
My 2021 Honda CRV is activating the brakes at inappropriate times. I've had 5 total instances that could have resulted in a rear-end collision both on the street driving 5-35 mph and freeway at 30-50 mph. The system on the dash board flashed "brake." However, there is more than a car space between the car in front of the car. The braking system activates and I am unable to counteract the brakes locking up on the car. I am very concerned that if I were to continue to drive my car , it may result in an accident with a car crashing into the back of my car. At this time I am waiting for the vehicle to be inspected.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
In multiple incidents, the car's automatic emergency braking system engaged while driving on clear roads with no obstructions in front or to the sides of the vehicle. The vehicle has not yet been damaged and is available for inspection. There was no warning from the car before it engaged the brakes. The car slammed the breaks and I lost control of the vehicle and could not prevent it from applying the brakes. This has happened both on city streets and on divided highways. It seems to be most likely to occur in areas where there is a slight bump in the road or some uneven road surfaces that are perfectly safe to drive over if not perfectly flat. My safety and the safety of other drivers around me was put at immediate risk due to the sudden and completely unpredictable nature of this. I was nearly rear-ended in one incident. This has occurred at road speeds over 40-50 miles per hour, making any sudden necessary braking extremely dangerous. The problem has not been reproduced by a service center, but I have encountered it multiple times over the lifetime of the vehicle. Recent service appointments at a dealership showed no issues on inspection. There are absolutely no warning lamps or messages that appear before the braking occurs. Normally, the emergency braking system flashes a warning and audible signal before engaging brakes. However, this does not happen with these incidents and the braking engages immediately without prior warning along with the emergency braking visual and audio alerts. The issue first appeared about 1 year after purchase of the new vehicle from a dealership and has occurred once every year or two since.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I bought the car back at September. After 2 week of commuting to work and back home, I notice a large crack near top edge of passenger side windshield one morning. The cracks then continue spread downward in multiple hairline pattern. Luckily my insurance through Progressive cover the windshield replacement cost with $0 glass deductible. The whole windshield was replaced and the camera system onboard was reprogram by Safelite.
