MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ONCE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND ONCE JUST ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, AND I WENT FLYING FORWARD AND ALL MY STUFF ON THE SEAT WENT FLYING. THERE WAS NOT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THEY SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN READING SOMETHING TO DO THIS, AND IT'S TO PROTECT A POSSIBLE PEDESTRIAN. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN . I CALLED HONDA OF JOLIET TO PUT IT IN MY RECORD. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE VEHICLE STABILITY LIGHTS, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, COLLISION MITIGATION, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION, AND A BRAKE LIGHTS ALL FLASH STATING THERE IS A PROBLEM. THESE LIGHTS JUST COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES . ONCE IT WAS SNOWING. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR. THE FIRST TIME I CLEARED SOME OF THE 'DRIVING AIDES' AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. I TOOK IT TO HONDA OF JOLIET ON 1/25 AND THEY ALIGNED THE RADAR. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON 1/28 /19 AND THEY SAID THEY REALIGNED IT AGAIN. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. THE ORIGINAL REASON WAS THE SENSORS ARE DIRTY, AND IN BAD WEATHER THIS CAN HAPPEN. THEY SAID A CLUMP OF SNOW COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TOO. SO THIS CAR IS ONLY GOOD IN GOOD WEATHER? THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF CARS IN FOR THIS SAME REASON. ANOTHER PROBLEM WAS I CAME OUT TO FIND MY WINDOWS DOWN, MY SUNROOF OPEN AND MY BACK DOOR OPEN. CAR WAS STATIONARY. DIDN'T TAKE IT IN FOR THIS AND FORGOT TO TELL THEM WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF ON 1/28/19.

THIS HAPPEN AT NORMAL CITY DRIVING, FREEWAY DRIVING, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND/OR WITH CRUISE CONTROL OFF. THE CAR IS STILL OPERATIONAL BUT WITH WARNING LIGHTS. WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE CAR, AND RESTART THE ISSUES MAY OR MAY NOT GO AWAY. WHEN IT DOES GO AWAY, IT WILL RANDOMLY OCCUR AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN WHEN WE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAY OLD AFTER BUYING IT BRAND NEW AND TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY LOOK AT IT AND DID A SOFTWARE INSTALL. BUT, IT NEVER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE LIVE WITH THIS ISSUES FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW AND ARE NOW FED UP. WE ARE FRUSTRATE OF THE THOUGHT OF BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER AND HAVING THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO US AGAIN.

ON 11/24/2018 ON I-81 NEAR STAUNTON VA. DURING HEAVY RAIN AND HOLIDAY TRAFFIC AT 70 MPH IN LEFT LANE PASSING TANDEM 18 WHEELER ON INCLINE WITH 18 WHEELER CLOSE BEHIND CAR SUDDENLY ENTERED "LIMP" MODE. CAR BEGAN MISSING BADLY WITH NO POWER AND BEGAN SLOWING TO A DRIFT. COULD NOT MOVE RIGHT, PULLED AS FAR LEFT TO GUARD RAIL, RIGHT SIDE CAR WHEELS STILL IN PASSING LANE, TRAFFIC SWERVED AROUND THE CAR. AT APROX. 10 MPH I HAD A SLIGHT BREAK IN TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE SWERVE ACROSS TRAFFIC TO RIGHT SIDE. SURPRISINGLY THE CAR IDLED FINE. BACKED DOWN RIGHT SIDE 1/4 MILE TO EXIT, DROVE IN "LIMP" MODE TO HONDA DEALER. THE DEALER HAD FOUND THE CAR HAD ENTER LIMP MODE BECAUSE WATER HAD ENTERED INTO THE MAF SENSOR AND INTAKE TUBE. THE AIR BOX HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY SEALED LIKELY DURING A DEALER SERVICE 1 WEEK PRIOR. THE AIR FILTER WAS WET AND REPLACED. INTAKE TUBE AND MAF SENSOR PULLED AND DRIED. MY ISSUE IN WRITING THIS IS THE CAR SHOULD NOT ENTER "LIMP" MODE AND CUT POWER JUST BECAUSE A SENSOR REPORTS IN BAD. CARS ARE DESIGNED TO CRUMPLE TO ABSORB IMPACT AND SAVE THE DRIVERS BUT YET HERE "LIMP" MODE IS DESIGNED TO SAVE THE EQUIPMENT ACTUALLY PUTS THE OCCUPANTS AND IN MY CASE OTHERS ON A CROWDED INTESTATE HIGHWAY AT RISK. A CAR SHOULD NEVER BE DESIGNED TO PUT ITS PASSENGERS AND THOSE AROUND THEM AT RISK AS THIS CRV DID IN MY CASE. LIMP MODE IS A VERY VERY BAD IDEA.

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Forward Collision Avoidance; Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking; Forward Collision Avoidance: Sensing System: Camera; Forward Collision Avoidance: Sensing System: Radar; Forward Collision Avoidance:software

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.

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.

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 1,081 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in the subject vehicles.  A total of 24 complaints alleged a crash and 42 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, 84 injury incidents and 40 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis (EA24002) to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations.  Further the scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.
