FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
My car will run normally with all the safety equipment turned on. Sometimes, when I switch lanes, the car will brake and slow down possibly 10 miles per hour and cause a dangerous situation on a highway or expressway. It happens mainly when I'm on a highway and traveling at normal speed and will make the traffic behind me come closer to my car as if I'm braking. When this happens, there aren't any cars near me neither in front and to my sides. This happens about once every 2 weeks of highway travel and also when merging from an entrance ramp. My email address is [XXX] and my phone number is [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The vehicle’s automatic braking system flashes the warning and slams on the brakes when there is nothing in front of the car. It is an intermittent problem that happens mostly when the weather is clear and dry. This has nearly caused an accident on occasion since it’s happened when traveling at both lower and higher speeds.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I HAD 2 INCIDENCES WHERE MY CRV STOPPED SUDDENLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. BOTH TIMES, I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, ON ONE-WAY STREETS, WITH A STOP SIGN AT EACH BLOCK. SPEED WAS AbOUT 20 MPH (OR LESS). THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY KIND, NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED AND I DIDN'T REPORT IT TO THE DEALER (CAR IS LEASED), THINKING EACH WAS JUST A FLUKE. I'M REPORTING IT TO YOU NOW, SINCE I JUST LEARNED THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER HONDA CRVS AND IS BEING INVESTIGATED. THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGH IF A CAR WAS FOLLOWING ME CLOSE BEHIND. I DO NOT REALL THE DATES, BUT BOTH OCCURRED WITHIN THE PAST YEAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The vehicle will be running at a certain speed then will just start braking like a car is in front but there isnt. It has done it several times. Sometimes it brakes hard and sometimes not. It is scary and worries you about being rear ended. It will slow you down then take off again.

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: 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
Vehicle on several occasions has applied the brakes at highway speeds for no apparent reason. My safety is at risk because this will causes the vehicle to brake without warning and at high speeds. No vehicles were in front of the car, the road was clear. The vehicle has been taken to two Honda Dealerships for this issue. The warning "BRAKE" warning light flashes in the dashboard when this has happened. This has happened multiple times in 2021 and also in 2022.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Periodically my vehicle will abruptly slow down, propelling myself/passenger forward. I would examine the area and there is nothing moving that should have triggered it. There are no identifying factors involved, (day/night/wet/dry), it may occur at any time. I have mentioned it to the Honda service department at my local dealership. They say it will happen sometimes.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On three occasions the emergency automatic braking system activated. The first time it was hard braking; but, not to a full stop. The other two were minor. Only the first was a safety issue as it resulted in a quick slow down in traffic. I have not reported this to dealer and it has not been inspected. The word "BRAKE" illuminated on the instrument panel but not prior to the action.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was exiting I-490 east to I-390 north at 45 mph and suddenly my Honda CRV forcefully applied the brakes. There was no vehicle in front of me and fortunately there was no vehicle in back of me. But I remember this because it really scared me. This is the only time this has happened. I am reporting this now because of an article I read on AOL titled "Over 1.7M Hondas probed for unexpected automatic braking".

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The ABS system suddenly engaged for no reason with the brakes slamming on. The system has also randomly alerted to brake for no reason with nothing but shadows in front of me. I purchased this vehicle because it happened multiple times in the 2018 CRV model I owned and the dealer I bought it from said there was nothing wrong and that it couldn’t be turned off. That vehicle stopped in the middle of a road from going 35 and again in the highway while traveling at 60 mph.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
When entering an interstate at rush hour, I was the first car in the line of those entering, and there were no cars ahead of me in the remaining length of lane. At the top of the ramp, with nothing in front of me, my car suddenly came to a complete stop with the screen flashing BREAK, telling me the automatic breaking engaged. The force of the break while driving 55 mph caused my body to fly forward (to the extent allowed by the seatbelt) and later a bruise across my chest. Everything loose in my car became a projectile. The car immediately behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me, avoiding an accident. Problem is not reproducible as the system otherwise "works fine" and the car passes inspections. The car was under a year old at that point, and there were no other issues, warning lights, etc.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, SERVICE BRAKES
Purchased my vehicle November/December of 2019. I have had multiple occasions of my vehicle automatically braking for no reason what-so-ever. I've been in clear path of travel and it just brake. I have reported this to the Honda of Gallatin, TN on multiple occasions. I had to have radar system replaced with in a couple of weeks of owning the vehicle. And had to have some thing else replaced about a month ago because all my brake warning systems came on. On that occasion it didn't cause the brakes to come on but it's an uneasy feeling to drive with brake system warning on everything. The emergency braking has happen multiple times i'll do better in keeping track of those going forward
