FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
At two different times on a heavily traveled, high-speed road, the dashboard crash warning activated even though no other vehicle or obstacle was in the vicinity. The car did not slow a great amount or come to a stop; but had it done so, I could easily have been rear-ended by another vehicle. I have not asked that a dealer, independent service center, or Honda check this. Until recently reading of the NHTSA investigation, I assumed my car had experienced an isolated glitch that would be difficult to identify. The incident date entered on this report is not accurate. I do not recall the dates, which were sometime during 2020 and 2021.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
For more than the past two years I have been experiencing unexpected braking while driving my 19 Accord. There have been probably 20-30 random incidents....generally when I am changing lanes..I think? The braking lasts for 2-3 seconds and then all returns to normal. This has happened when other cars are near and when there is no other car ahead or behind. On at least a couple occasions I received a nasty horn from the car behind me due to my unexpected braking and more than once an uncomplimentary comment from my wife about my driving skill. Several times I feared being rear ended. I explained this braking action as my failure to use the turn signal when changing lanes. Upon reconsidering and after reading the recent NHTSA alert, this is a sensor/software problem in the ESC/Emergency Braking system. Please give this issue your prompt attention. I am the retired engineering manager of the braking system subsidiary of HONDA MOTORS.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH with activated cruise control, the vehicle independently came to a complete stop as a brake warning light flashed on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the contact was hit from behind by another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact suffered whiplash as a result of the crash; however, no medical attention was given at the scene. The contact spoke with a doctor and received a prescription for her neck pain. A police report was filed at the scene. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home from the scene but later had the vehicle towed to an independent body shop. The contact notified the manufacturer about the failure; the manufacturer denied that the failure was caused by a mechanical failure and believed the failure was caused by a driver error. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving at approximately 40 mph, the automatic emergency braking system engaged and brought the vehicle speed to under 20 mph on a busy road. This issue occurs repeatedly on the same road and location. The road opens up to four lanes and goes uphill at the point where the braking activates. I have had this issue occur in multiple other instances, with several near rear end collisions.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
This vehicle has a safety issue when it comes to snow on the ground and driving on a hill/incline. I was driving my vehicle through snow in the Ohio/WV region and when I tried to drive up a hill with snow on the ground the vehicle stopped. The vehicle would not accelerate and it seemed the engine just shut off. So I put the car in neutral and pushed the gas and I was correct the engine had no RPMs. This caused a huge safety issue to myself and the people driving near me. As I had ZERO control over the vehicle on an incline. The cars coming toward me and the ones behind me had ZERO issues with their vehicles going up this hillside. I tried three times to shut car off and back on so it would give me a few seconds of acceleration, allowing me to get up the hill a few more feet before shutting off again and possibly causing an accident. When I took it to my Honda dealer they stated computer showed no issues with the vehicle. And they have not heard of the engine shutting down or not having RPMs with snow on the ground. They recommended that I have tracking control off next time allowing me full control vs. the computer of the car however, I DID have it off. Once they heard that statement they informed me I have no other options. Honda did tell me when driving in snow other messages can go off and the car is still SAFE to drive. Which it needs to be as this area has tons of snow. However, that is not the case if the car just shuts off. Prior to the issue, the car kept beeping non stop with warning of break system & adaptive cruise control. My sensors were wiped off prior to the car shutting off. Yet again you can't keep a sensor spotless driving on a highway with snow. Two of the warning lights that showed on my dashboard were not listed in the manual. I am now afraid to drive my vehicle with any snow coming down. I have been a Honda owner since the 90's and I no longer trust this brand.

My son was driving and car stalled and wouldn’t accelerate . Engine light came on. He shut the car off and restarted. Thank god it happened in a rural road. No issues after restarting. Two days later engine light came on along with a Christmas tree of everything else. Took it to a friend who put it on his snap-on code reader. He said take it too dealership. Find out it’s a fault head gasket. They want 3700 to fix. The car has 87000 miles on it. I have never seen a head gasket go bad on normal everyday cars. I thought Honda was reliable. I thought wrong.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH, he heard loud buzzing and popping noises coming from the door speakers accompanied by severe vibration from the door speakers. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact reported that the noise was distracting to the point that he pulled onto the side of the road. The contact said that the noise stopped once he had pulled over. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and two microphones of the "Active Noise Canceling Microphone" system were replaced on the driver’s side roof and the rear passenger middle roof. The contact experienced a recurrence of the same loud buzzing and popping noise again. The contact stated that he returned the vehicle to the same dealer and the microphones were not replaced. The contact said that the noise recently returned, and he took the vehicle back to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed the issue and was told that the manufacturer had no remedy available. The contact said the manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
Upon accelerating on a highway, the malfunction indicator light came on and the car lost power. Without drive power it was very dangerous to maneuver to exit the freeway. The dealership recognized that this was due to issues with the intercooler and PGM-FI software for this vehicle and is spelled out in a technical service bulletin (Honda 21-052). However, even though the car is under the original warranty, they want to charge over $250 for the repair.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
At approximately 16:08 EST on Jan 1, 2022 I was traveling westbound on I-76 at mile marker 146.9 WB (40°02'03.0"N 78°29'50.0"W) in the center lane on a straight section of road at approximately 70mph. Car mileage was 21264 at the time of the crash. The weather at the time of the crash was light rain and with temperature approximately 50F. The car suddenly and for no apparent reason began skidding / fishtailing. I tried steering to regain control of the vehicle and applying the brakes to slow down, but the car continued fishtailing. I did not feel the anti lock brakes engage at any point during the skid. I went into the left lane, and struck the center concrete barrier, causing the airbags to deploy and the car to come to rest in the left lane. 3 symptoms appeared the day of the crash which had never happened before: 1) Several hours before the crash, the vehicle began handling strangely. It felt like there was either steering or brake input from the land keeping assist / adaptive cruise control / traction control systems which was "fighting" me and causing the vehicle to swerve slightly. These handling anomalies occurred randomly about 10 times immediately before the crash. 2) About 2 hours before the crash, the check engine light began flashing and there was a loss of engine power. I pulled over and restarted the car, which seemed to resolve the check engine light / power loss. 3) At one point the adaptive cruise control turned itself off and gave a message about traction conditions. To my knowledge the problem has not been confirmed or reproduced, and the vehicle has not yet been inspected by Honda, my insurer, or anyone else. As of Jan 6, the vehicle is currently in a yard near Altoona PA awaiting assessment, and is available for inspection upon request. I informed Honda about the crash on Jan 6, 2022. They gave me a case number and said to work through my insurer on next steps. Honda service bulletin 21-052 may be relevant to this incident.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Twice in the last 4 weeks ( 11/18/21 and 11/30/21) my 2019 Honda Accord came to complete and sudden stop for no apparent reason. My foot was on the gas, my speed was approximately 25mph, an orange warning light on the dash was activated very briefly. Cars behind me had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting me. Going from 25 mph to Zero, caused my neck to snap forward and back and forward again which was very painful. The mileage on my car was approximately 6,650. This exact problem first occurred on 2/6/21. Subsequently, I took the car to the dealershipd where they performed and scanned the vehicle and no codes or error messages were found. Ran air fuel system test etc. and they advised me that no system failure was detected. I reported the incident to NHTSA on approxamately 2/10/21. My Complaint Number for the 2/6/21 incident is 11395658.
