While driving on a clear day with good weather, my car's Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) slammed on the car's brakes with no one in front of me whatsoever. I was driving over a bridge at the time, and it was my assumption that shadows from the bridge structures above caused the system to go. This is the second time the CMBS went off for no reason. I am lucky no one was behind me as the car slams on the brakes when CMBS goes off.

My daughter and I just bought this 2022 Honda Accord on 04/29/2023. On 6/28/2023, she was headed home, driving North, and was coming to the busy intersection of a County Road and Highway. She went to brake, but the brakes did not respond. In order to avoid hitting another vehicle, she swerved and blew through the intersection. Thank goodness she did not hit anyone in the intersection AND no one hit her. It could have been so bad. She did come to rest in a farmer's field on the Northeast corner of the intersection. According to the shop that is currently processing the claim with State Farm and investigating the repairs and damage, many error lights are lit up on the dash as relates to the brakes, forward collision warning, and emergency braking. They indicated that they need to work with Honda to clear, verify, and repair everything related to those codes. The vehicle is scheduled to be towed to Honda of Greeley on Wednesday, 7/19/2023. In my research, I did see the NHTSA Acknowledgment of Recall Letter just signed on 06/22/2023 by Alex Ansley for the 2022 Honda Accord, indicating that a recall would be issued in regards to an issue with the brakes, that may be related to my daughter's accident. I also read further that the actual recall letters would be mailed out 07/24/2023. I am just not sure if this would also cover the 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid.

The Honda is equipped with a Collision Mitigation Braking System. Traveling at around 40 mph on a two lane road, one lane in each opposite direction, the orange brake warning light appeared on the dash. Simultaneously, the brakes were very forcefully applied as if there was going to be an unavoidable collision. There was nothing in front of the vehicle. I called the dealer where we purchased the Honda. The service rep said he had heard of other similar instances, asked what kind of road it was and said to see if it happened again on the same road. He knew of no known fix for the issue. My wife, who was in the back seat, and recently had 3 sections of her neck fused, is currently in a lot of pain. If the road had been a little slippery, all four in the car could have been seriously injured or worse. If there had been a vehicle close behind us, there is a good chance we would have been rear ended.

Hello, I bought a new Honda Accord Hybrid from Schaumburg Honda, Illinois on 11/23/2022. Within one week of buying the car, the following error messages appeared on the dashboard with the Brake System light on 1.Adaptive Cruise Control Systems Problem See Dealer 2.Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem See Dealer 3.Road Departure Mitigation System Problem See Dealer I took my car to the dealer at Schaumburg Honda on 12/13/2022 and they inspected the car and said they did not find anything defective and reset the error codes. After one week, adding about 30 miles, I had the same error message displayed. I contacted Honda and raised a complaint – 13553020 reading this issue and on their advice, I had my car checked by a different dealer Valley Honda at Naperville on 12/27/2022. They did the same and drove the car for another 30 miles and the code was gone. Again after two weeks, the same error messages are on the dashboard. I stopped using the car as it was a safety hazard to dive with the brake system malfunctioning and updated Honda the same. The car has been used for daily commutes for work and driving within 40 miles per hour depending on the allowed speed limits. Even though this qualifies as a lemon car but Honda is declining and asking me to take it to the dealer again (3rd time). The defects of the car substantially impacted my ability to use the vehicle. The defects also rendered the vehicle unsafe for use. Regards [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Multiple instance of the car providing "BRAKE" annunciation, rapid deceleration, and brake application at highway speeds when passing vehicles. Often happens when passing semi trucks, but not limited to them. Several instances this rapid and unexpected brake application has required driver action to avoid rear-end collisions with the car behind who may be following too closely. Unable to completely turn off the CMBS system, must be done per drive. With that system turned off the braking application is expectedly absent during these events, but the car will still provide a rapid deceleration (as if a driver took their foot off the accelerator pedal) but without brake application which also has been problematic for cars following. Local dealer confirmed that the system is functioning without warnings or errors, no recalls are active for the car, and the alignment and function of all related sensors are per the manufacturer. Dealer claims they are unable to reproduce the issue.

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.
