SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Phantom breaking occured roughly 2 MONTHS after purchasing the vehicle (new) in the middle of the freeway. The forward collision for some reason had a false negative, and the brakes seized up. I was able to safely pull over, but after restarting the vehicle, the car would not move. The brakes were still seized from the safety system, and would not allow the vehicle to move forward. After about an hour, and constant tries, for some reason - the brakes released and we were able to drive the vehicle again. We went straight to the dealership, to inspect. They had the car for a couple days, the mechanic also took the car home on his commute (~100 miles roundtrip), but was not able to recreate. There was no charge for the vehicle as it was still under warranty.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Five times by vehicle used the braking system to stop my car while driving. It was late at night when the braking happened. I just thought the car saw something on road which caused this to happened. Each time it was a very hard stop.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have had two instances where the automatic braking engaged when there was no traffic that was near me. The scariest was when I was exiting the highway and my car suddenly stopped on the off-ramp. I could have easily been rear ended as there was no reason to stop the vehicle. Luckily no accident or injury occurred. There has been no attempt to have the issue examined or recreated because it has not been a frequent issue. The brake indicator light had illuminated although there was no traffic and then the car stopped. There was no other indication that this would occur.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The vehicle automatically braked without warning. Simultneously the braking notification warning light came on as the vehicle braked. Feared i would be rear ended. The vehicle has not been inspected. The dealer offered diagnostic services but had no guidance from Honda. I thought this was a one-off until I read other owers of this model had the same experience. Dealer was unaware of on-going problem with model and told me to call Honda. Honda told me to register here.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
We were cruising along Rt 130 in New Jersey when suddenly the Automatic Emergency Braking System "Brake" flashed on my dashboard and my vehicle braked for a while (from 50mph to 30mph) although there were no cars or any obstacles ahead of us. I had to step on the gas pedal to avoid any rear-end collision on me. Luckily, there were no vehicle behind me at that time.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have experienced automatic emergency braking of my vehicle at various times for no reason ~ I was not approaching another car or in congested traffic. Fortunately, in every instance, there has not been another vehicle immediately behind me. I have communicated this problem verbally to the Honda dealer and was advised all systems appear to be functioning correctly. The most severe instance was when I was going over a metal plate placed over the roadway during street repair. At other times, it will happen when approaching one particular intersection in my city. In any event, something in the automatic braking system is flawed. Good idea but there are dangerous "bugs" that need to be worked out.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My 2017 C R V Honda has twice experienced sudden and unexpected braking. The first time it braked very hard and displayed warning lights at the same time. The car was clean and no obstructions were present. My speed was approximately 40 mph. There was no traffic in front or behind me. The second time there was no traffic and the car didn’t brake as hard. There was a warning light at the same time as the braking occurred. Lately I’ve also had problems with the ADAS system. Several times it has disabled itself and displayed multiple warning messages. I’ve brought these problems to the Honda dealership attention with no satisfaction and only getting generic answers.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On five separate occasions, my Honda CR-V, the collision mitigation braking system (CMGS) slammed on the brakes and stopped the car when I was approaching a flat plate on the road. I had no vehicle even close in front of my car. The BRAKE light flashes everytime this happens. On four of those occasions, I have narrowly averted being hit from behind. Thank goodness, I had slowed down to under 25 MPH, but everything in the car went flying. My safety, the safety of my dog who was tethered in the back seat, the safety of my grandchildren in the back seat and the safety of the car behind me in traffic was at risk. I have found that this system can be turned off, but this has to be done everytime the car is started. I can see other reports of this problem on the Internet. My next step is to take it to the dealer.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When the Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) system is engaged, the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system will engage without cause. The braking primarily occurs in construction zones where traffic is being routed off the main traffic lanes onto shoulders or temporary lanes. The braking increases the risk of a rear end crash. It has occurred numerous times since the vehicle was purchased in Dec of 2018. I rarely used the RDM system anymore. If I do, I disengage it when I drive through construction zones.

SERVICE BRAKES
On Thursday evening (2/3/22), I had just made a left turn from a complete stop, and was accelerating up to speed. The car had only reached between 30&35 mph when it (the car) came to an abrupt and slamming stop. There were no other vehicles or anything else in front of me that could justify us to stop. The car was not in cruise control - which, when I carried my vehicle in to be checked out, I was asked repeatedly.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
We were driving at about 45-50mph on a 4 lane road (2 lanes in each direction) when the car in front of us moved to the right side of the road (bike/turn lane) to make a right turn. There was enough room for the other car to safely turn right without stopping or slowing traffic. The 2021 Honda CRV Hybrid braked suddenly as if to avoid a high speed crash. The collision avoidance feature was on (the car was delivered with the feature activated and it was never turned off.) The car forcefully slammed on the brakes, seatbelts locked up and the driver felt a pop inside the left shoulder blade and neck pain; later in the day, the pain radiated throughout the left side of the back, up to the neck / base of skull and down past the waist. The passenger seatbelt also locked and there were no injuries to the passenger. No passengers or children were in the back seat. The sudden braking caused the car behind the Honda CRV to brake and swerve, but no accident occurred. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealership or others. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. There were no warning lamps and no indication that this was going to occur. This is a serious safety issue and injuries occurred from a car safety feature when there was no imminent danger or collision that was actually needing to be avoided.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
When driving on the interstate with assisted cruise control and lane assist, my car has twice braked very hard when no hazards were in sight. Once, it almost came to a complete stop and had the car behind me been closer their would have been an accident - this was summer of 2021. The second time, it braked, I turned off cruise and tapped the brake and it corrected itself. In both cases, this could have been a very dangerous situation that put myself and others at risk. I thought it was happening because my windshield had been replaced and recalibrated. I had that checked twice and they found no issue with the calibration. I realized it could be a greater issue when I saw the news report on investigation of this happening on other 2019 Honda CRV's. I have not taken it to the shop yet. There were no prior warnings.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving and the car in front of me braked. My car suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped. It was very scary, as it was completely unnecessary and I was not in danger of hitting the car in front of me. It almost caused an accident with the car before me that had to suddenly stop.
