FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
2018 Honda CR-V EX, especially in colder weather the forward collision mitigation system will malfunction and phantom brake randomly. When I turn on the active cruise control, sometimes it'll stop working due to the collision mitigation system malfunctioning. There were multiple incidents where it'll start braking in the high way almost causing collisions, and I would have to manually disable the mitigation system.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Last October I was driving home on a quiet 2 lane road with no apparent traffic at approximately 30th when out of nowhere the automatic safety BRAKE warning came on and my car stopped dead on the road. There were no other vehicles or animals visible in the area. I then traveled home without further incident.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have a 2020 Honda CR-V that is having a Phantom Braking issue. It has happened several times, 3 of which were while on the expressway and a tractor trailer was behind me. The CR-V warning system would flash "BRAKE" and then stop suddenly, there was nothing in front of me, nothing to either side of me. When I took it to the dealership, the technician could not replicate the issue and said 'it was a common issue with all vehicles' and recommended that I 'just turn it off, I did so on my vehicle.' After seeing the news I now know that I am not the only one with this issue. I purchased this vehicle from the dealer in June 2020, and this began in September 2021.

LANE DEPARTURE: LANE KEEP: AUTOMATIC STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The contact owns a 2021 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would independently downshift without warning. The contact also stated that the failure would occur while the cruise control was activated. In addition, the contact also stated that the lane-keep assist would fail to differentiate between road salt and line marking on the roadway, resulting in inadvertent sudden downshifting. The contact's husband had taken the vehicle to a dealer where their concerns were ignored and no diagnostic test was performed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100. In addition to the above, the lane keep assist cannot distinguish between lines & cracks in the road, which is a big deal in Missouri, and an issue I fight with daily on roads I have no choice to travel on. And it's not downshifting that happens with the lane keep assist-it tries to correct, but the corrections if I don't fight them will either run me into the opposing lane or off the road.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On 22 Feb 22 while exiting the highway to a service plaza, the Automatic Emergency Braking System slammed on the brakes in our 2019 CR-V. Fortunately, no one was close behind us. I recall that the Lane Departure Warning system activated and then the brakes slammed on. The braking system fault has also occured 5 or 6 times when making a 90 degree turn from a stop light to another street and there was no one directly in front of us. We have owned the car for 3 years and are happy with the vehicle and safety features, but this fault is extremely dangerous and needs to be addressed.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The emergency braking system deployed unexpectedly and for no reason I was accelerating after getting on the expressway at rush hour when the brakes deployed nearly causing a rear end accident. This has happened three additional times since the first incident. No inspection of the vehicle has been performed. The "BRAKE" light did illuminate.

On multiple occasions during highway or other driving, the automatic emergency braking has engaged causing the car to either slow quickly or attempt to come to a stop which required immediate intervention to avoid potentially being rear ended.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windshield has a significant refraction causing issues with visibility at night. Light passing through windshield is variably refracted depending on eye level and viewing angle. Issue has existed since car delivered. Vehicle was taken to dealer and advised of this several times with no fix attempted to date. Will continue to seek remediation from manufacturer and will consider lemon law if not resolved. This is becoming a common issue with more windshields as there are no real standards for windshield light refraction.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
In April or early May 2021, my wife and I were driving my CRV on Interstate 77S coming from downtown Cleveland in the afternoon. It was a sunny day and we were driving at highway speeds. All of a sudden my CRV went into an Emergency Braking condition. The car was braking was as if I slammed on the brakes full force. Luckily no cars were immediately behind us or else they would have rear-ended us. The car slowed down rapidly and drastically, but control of the car was returned to the driver before it came to a full stop. No cars were in front of us. Nothing was in the road that we could see as an obstruction or shiny object (which Honda said sometimes fools the sensor). We were approaching (maybe 100 yds away) a shadow in the road from a bridge overpass. The dealer checked the vehicle on May 4, 2021 for proper operation of this Emergency Braking system and if any codes were created by the event. Nothing was found wrong. The car had 15,483 miles on it when Honda checked it. Honda said the shadow in the road should not have triggered the sensor.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
There have been two incidences in the last couple of months (Fall of 2021). Last one was 11/29/2021, while I am driving on surface street that the emergency brakes engaged without warning and jerked me to a stop. There were not cars directly in front of me that would have warranted a quick brake. Luckily there were no cars following closely behind me that would have hit my car since I suddenly stopped for no reason. Which would have resulted in an accident occurring. I’m not sure why the emergency brakes activated with no warning and for no apparent reason. The emergency brakes have not been inspected by manufacturer.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) activated and suddenly locked up my brakes as I started to accelerate the car on the street after being the first car at a standstill at the metro tracks. Two or three seconds after accelerating, just as I had gotten over two sets of tracks, it happened. The car even jerked when it stopped at the somewhat low speed that I was going. No metro train went by at the time and no safety arm had come down while I was at the standstill at the tracks. No metro train lights ever flashed either. I could have easily been rear-ended by the car behind me because there was a long line of cars waiting along with me. I felt very unsafe driving the car to my next stop as I was in a very high --traffic area. This is why I called the dealer immediately and made an appointment for two days later. I felt even more unsafe driving the car back through the same area. It did not happen again upon my return as I went over the tracks. The problem has not happened again because I now know how to turn off the CMBS system every single time I get into the car. I do not want to chance going even a bit faster or being on the freeway and having the car come to a sudden halt. There would most certainly be grave injuries at freeway speeds on such crowded L.A. freeways. I am so afraid of this happening that I must drive without the CMBS from now on. The dealer said that they did code checks and a DTC ? check. On my Honda service papers, they said that the possible cause could be my dash cam position. They drove my car to test it but nothing happened. In fact, I bought my dash cam for this car specifically and have driven with it in the same general position for 3 years and this never happened before. The dealer found that there were no problems with the car. No police nor insurance were ever involved since I luckily did not cause any accidents. I noticed a BRAKE WARNING on the dashboard AFTER the car had stopped by itself.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The Collision Mitigation Braking System is malfunctioning when driving over metal plates. It has happened when I get close to drive straight over the metal plate (at probably 20-25 MPH), my car slams onto the brakes and comes to a complete stop. If anybody were behind me, they would rear-end me. This is very dangerous and needs to be corrected to save lives and property.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have had multiple incidents when the vehicle has braked when no vehicle of obstruction was in front of me. Many times this has occurred on US 15 south at the overpass of the PA turnpike. A recent incident happened on interstate 83 south where the only thing that I could see for the reason for braking, was the skid marks from a locked up trailer wheels. No vehicles were close to me. It also has happened on a rural road where mud from a farm tractor was on the road. It has also occurred in construction zones. It is quite scary as I have been honked and probably cursed by drivers behind me. I bought this vehicle for it's safety features but wish this feature could be deactivated before being hit from behind or assaulted by an aggressive driver for braking for no reason.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
In the time I have owned this car I have experienced phantom braking 3-4 times. The most recent was about a month ago when merging on an ramp entering a highway. NO cars were around me or in front of me but the brake warning flashed several times. It did not actually engage the brakes at this time but about a year ago the same thing happened and the brakes suddenly came on slowing me down. I am concerned about losing control or being rear ended if this occurs.
