PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH OF 2017. INSTUMENT CLUSTER HAS MALUNCTIONED X 4 SINCE THEN. TWICE JUST TOTALLY GOING BLACK WHILE DRIVING. TWICE CERTAIN ALARMS ARE INDICATED (LKAS,ACC, CMBS, ETC.) THESE LAST TWO REQUIRED VEHICLE CAMERA REPLACMENT. ENTIRE INSTUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2017. BRAKING: THIS VEHICLE HAS APPLIED IT'S BRAKES AT SUDDEN AND THE MOST INAPPRORIATE TIMES. JULY 2017 ON A FOUR LANE HWY BY MYSELF, NO OTHER VEHICLE, BRAKE ALARMS LIT UP ON INSTUMENT CLUSTER AND CAR RAPIDLY DECLERATED FROM 50 TO 20 MPH BEFORE BRAKE ALARM AND BRAKES DISENGAGED. WHEN SLOWING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AT APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 CAR LENGTHS FROM VEHICLE AND GOING APPROXIMATELY 10 - 5 MPH, CRV BRAKE ALARM LIT UP WITH SUBSEQUENT PANIC STOP BRAKING APPLIED. CRV'S ACC SYSTEM BRAKES THE VEHICLE WHEN APPROACHING ANOTHER PARKED OR DISABLED VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT EMERGENCY STOP LANE OR IS TURNING RIGHT AND IS PERHAPS 20-30 FEET DOWN THE RIGHT HAND ROAD. THIS OCCURS AW WELL WHEN ACC IS ENGAGED AND I AM IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE INTERSTATE AND OVERTAKING A VEHICLE TO MY RIGHT. THE DEALER TELLS ME THEY CAN FIND NO ERROR CODES NOR DO THEY HAVE ANY DATA OF THESE SYMPTOMS FROM HONDA AMERICA. BRAKING DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME. BUT WHEN IT DOES IT'S SURPRISING AND SCARY. IT SEEMS TO ME WITH ALL THE REPORTS I HAVE READ ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE CONCERNING THIS SAME PROBLEM, PERHAPS AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

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 1,081 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.

Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking

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.
