FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
When driving on the Interstate Highway with the adaptive cruise control, on rare and unpredictable time, the car will suddenly flash the brake warning and brake and/or rapidly slow down. Pressing the accelerator will override the issue. However, it is not reproducible. It can occur any time of day or night.

ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
This is a follow up for NHTSA complaint 11452424. After the engine light came on along with other warning lights, like a Christmas tree and taking the vehicle to a Honda dealership with a almost 3700.00 repair bill for a vehicle with with under 88,000 miles. The dealership said the vehicle needed a head gasket. The problem is the dealership did not provide the error code numbers. They just gave a price due too coolant going into cylinder number 3. I asked the service rep for a break down the for repairs, which he said was provided. The only thing provided was coolant leaking into cylinder 3 with no codes that the dealership found with the engine light on. I filed a complaint with Honda to off set the repair cost. Mind you we are talking about a head gasket. Honda denied the claim and referred to lack of maintenance. When I told the representative I do my maintenance. He said it was because the dealership wasn’t making money. Who in their right mind would pay 144.00 an hour maintenance when they can’t be up front and provide codes that were thrown on engine light for repair bill. I think NHTSA needs to investigate Honda’s technical service bulletins regarding cylinder misfires in 1,2,3 and 4. I am quite skeptical that a dealership can not list error codes on a repair estimate that they aren’t hiding something. My family will never purchase another Honda and I will share this Story with everyone I know. Something is being hidden if the dealership doesn’t provide error codes. I have never seen this in my 30 plus years of driving.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
There is a humming noise that randomly Started on my brand new Honda Accord. A lot of individuals are having the same issue online and Honda refuses to consider it their problem. It has something to do with the Either noise canceling microphone not being glued on or their Bluetooth microphone. This is ridiculous that my vehicle which is brand new is starting to have issues and Honda does not take ownership of their issue when obviously it isn’t due to anything other than part being defective…

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
When my 2019 Honda Accord Sport makes high speed changes, the brakes will automatically start aggressive braking enough to cause a rear end collision. Driving on the interstate and no cars in front of me and then suddenly the braking system aggressively brakes the car. Very dangerous.

ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Sudden engine power loss; merging to highway speed was not possible. Risk to safety was the loss was when needing to merge with traffic at highway speeds. The dealership could not reproduce the problem. The check engine light did come on, but no codes were generated. The check engine light extinguished before the vehicle could be taken to the dealership. Only possible symptom, prior to the event, and still existing, is a lack of power, compared to when it was new. The dealership cannot confirm the cause of this power loss. There are other indications that there is a controls/computer problem, in my opinion. Power assist is not always available, but then suddenly engages, causing the car to jerk. My conclusion is that the vehicle does not immediately recognize the steering input. The problem is most pronounced when traveling straight, on the highway and needing to make a mild lane correction to maintain the lane. The vehicle does not immediately recognize the mild steering input until the steering wheel has been turned significantly. Once the steering wheel has been turned significantly and the steering input is recognized, the power steering engages, causing a sudden jerk and a need to recover control. The dealership has not been able to reproduce this problem. I have been able to temporarily resolve it, by momentarily engaging the Lane Keep Assist. Normal, expected power assisted steering is recovered for a period of time.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Multiple time the car will apply the emergency braking system when there are no cars in front of me. Mainly it happens on a multi-lane road and I am overtaking the car to the right of me, especially if I am on a curve to the left. The car will suddenly apply the brakes which can aid to the loss of control of the car. If the road were icy, it would almost certainly cause a loss of control and an accident. It has happened on a straight stretch of road, but it is more rare. Initially this was a rare occasion, however it has increased in frequency as the car ages. Now that the warrantee has expired I have not taken it in to have it checked, but I feel I am going to need to do it. There were no warning signs, lamps, or messages other than the brakes being applied and the emergency braking light coming on. When I saw there were other occurrences of this issue, I had to file this complaint. I believe this needs to be a recall issue before more serious injuries or fatalities occur. Below it asked when it happened, how many miles on the car, and the answer is multiple times at multiple speed and first started at around 20,000 miles. Again it has gotten worse over time. the car currently has about 46,000 miles

STRUCTURE:BODY
Passenger door well not unlock from key fob (keyless unlock a door) or inside unlock switch. This is an intermittent problem and Honda dealer cannot resolve it. I believe this imposes a safety hazard. I cannot get in unless I use the key or go round to the passenger side and crawl over to the inside door latch.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I would like to add a comment on the "phantom braking" as I have experienced it with my car several times. I am glad to see a formal investigation has been launched. I think a way to try and replicate this issue is to attempt to pass another vehicle (that is in the adjacent lane) BUT ensuring you are doing this on a curved road way. ...At some point the Accord gets "confused" when it looks liked it is "lined up" behind the other vehicle in the adjacent lane. It is real.. Please find a solution and bring this to a resolution. Feel free to contact me for further explanation. I cannot recall the exact date this incident has happened to me; hence I am putting in today's date.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Concern was reported to dealership 2x. Sudden breaking on freeway at 55+ mph. Since June 2019, this has happened approx. 5 times. Most recently, Feb 2022, night driving approx. 55 mph on freeway suddenly rectangle breaking alert & sound on dash with car self breaking. There was a car 3 lengths behind and luckily didn't cause an accident. Each time, grateful there was no accident. 3 of the 5 times it was at night and 2 times during the day. 4 of 5 was 55mph and 1 time <45 (non-freeway) I believe the camera is getting confused with the lines/grooves on the pavement. This is dangerous.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I saw NHTSA is investigating some Honda vehicles for unnecessary emergency braking incidents. I've had this problem as well and wanted to report it. The 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid, multiple times over the past 3+ years, has engaged the brakes when there were no cars in front of me. From my recollection this happens at medium to high speeds (40mph+) so if someone were behind me they may rear-end my car. This has happened probably a half dozen times over the past 3 years but there is no way to reliably reproduce it as it seems random. I haven't had any inspections, nor are there any warning lamps or messages relating to this. Note: The date I am including is not necessarily when it happened as I don't have those dates. But it's required.
