ENGINE
Car battery drains after sitting for a few days. Had this issue and replaced the battery. The battery is only 2 months old and after leaving the car parked for 3 days the battery died again and needed to be jumped. It looks as if this is an outstanding issue with several complaints found online for this model and battery drain from electronics.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Vehicle randomly slammed on brakes without driver touching the brake. There were no obstacles or other cars in front of the vehicle at the time. Automatic emergency braking was on. The only warning that came up was the”Brake” warning as the vehicle was slamming on the brakes. Luckily the car behind the vehicle was able to move to another lane to avoid a collision. The vehicle was taken to the Honda dealer and inspected. They were unable to find the cause of the random braking or to reproduce it.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Many times I will be driving in a highway with NO cars around, and the vehicle breaks and gives me a notification that is activated the emergency breaking system. It is very scary and can cause a serious accident and injury if not resolved.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The brake warning system beeped and forcefully applied the brakes when I was driving approximately 30mph. The only "obstacle" was a flat steel plate on the road. Thankfully no one was behind me. Everything in my car slide forward and off the seats due to the force of the braking. I also regularly get the beep warning when I am driving up a steep hill near where I live. Thankfully the brakes do not engage. I never had anything inspected. I also get beeping when backing up with nothing in the way. And recently backed into a truck bumper and there was no beeping. I just assume that the systems are irritating and don't work properly.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving home one night in the dark and the weather was misty/foggy. Our vehicle went over one of those large metal plates that construction workers use when they're working on the road. All of a sudden the braking system activated on it's own and it brought us to a complete stop. It was scary because there was no traffic threat to us and I didn't apply the brakes. Luckily there was no vehicle behind me because they would have rear ended us for sure. After this incident I am always mindful to turn off the automatic braking whenever I start the vehicle

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While driving, when using the radio or GPS, the display on the center console will intermittently go haywire. Display will turn on and off, loudly beep, screen will go blank and then turn back on unexpectedly, brightness adjustment bar appears on screen. There is no control over these problems except having to stop the car and turn it off fo a couple of minutes. Very distracting and dangerous while driving.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Automatic emergency braking system puts on the brakes and there would be nothing in front of me. Making my car slow down, I am afraid of getting hit from behind. The light flashed on dash. I took it to dealership they said I needed a new battery.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Was driving yesterday (2018 Honda CRV) and the brakes suddenly engaged and the big orange brake warning light appeared on the dash. We came to a jarring stop. Nothing in front of us, no rain. Luckily, we were only going about 10 mph and no car behind us. This has happened before but didn't result in such a jarring stop. Other times it was on residential streets but also on freeway. In those incidents it was a quick engagement like a brake pump. The big orange warning light came on in all of those instances.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On multiple occasions while driving at highway speeds with the cruise control on the vehicle has slowed down on it's own for no reason. There were no cars immediately in front of me and nothing in the road, but the car just suddenly slowed down. Thankfully there have not been instances of the vehicle braking hard, but is definitely slows abruptly for no reason. This has been noted to happen 3 or 4 times so far in the last month. I took it to the dealership and made them aware of the issue. They were not able to replicate it or find any issues. After I had this happen to me I saw an article on CNN noting that there have been several complaints over this same issue in similar vehicles, so I wanted to make sure it was reported.

ENGINE
On August 1, 2021 and again on February 26, 2022 I had major issues with transmission slipping gears and my 2015 Honda CR-V stalling out on an incline while driving home. This was very dangerous and nearly caused an accident. I had my 8 year old son in the back as well and many cars almost rear-ended me both times. Additionally, i experience VERY rough idling and extremely rough gear changes which lead me to believe there is an issue with my car's transmission, specifically with the CVT system on this car. It continues to feel VERY unsafe and unreliable as i drive it and i am very worried about my safety and the longevity of my cars ability to continue running.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The automated braking system activation when there was no car in the lane I was traveling in. I pressed on the gas pedal in attempt to override the automated braking system. I don't know if that help but soon enough the braking system release. I was on a freeway in a city and feel lucky to have avoided a collision.

When the year changed to 2022, the time display on the radio/navigation control unit changed to 1Jan 2002. Honda is aware of the problem, per phone conversation, however, they have never sent out a notification to owners. I believe this affects 2007-2012 Honda's.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My car’s automatic emergency brake has engaged ~4x when there was undoubtedly nothing in front of me on the road. Luckily it has never engaged the brake long enough to cause a rear end collision which is way I didn’t report it earlier. I know you’re collecting reports for affected cars and mine indeed has done this before. I’m hopeful it won’t happen when more cars are around.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The component system that is failing is the Anti Collision Emergency Braking System. It has put the safety of me, and my family at risk, by engaging while I was driving on a highway—multiple times regardless of if there was a vehicle in front of me or not. I've had to lightly pump my brakes in order for the system to disengage. This issue has not been investigated by anyone other than hearing about it on the local news station. There were no other warnings and thankfully has not yet resulted in any accidents.
