JANUARY 20 2019 CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP JANUARY 21. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, A/C UNIT, DID A PROGRAM UPDATE, CHANGED THE OIL AND DRAIN PLUG. TOLD US IT WAS FIXED. HOWEVER, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY GAVE ME PROBLEMS --MORE THAN BEFORE. I WAS ACTUALLY TRAPPED IN MY CAR AND COULDN'T OPEN THE DOORS 3 TIMES. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE SAFETY SYSTEM CONTINUOUSLY ALERTS BLINDSPOT ACTIVITY, THE MESSAGE "SOME DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEMS CANNOT OPERATE" , THERES A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM DISABLED" THAT APPEARS, THE HAZARD LIGHTS GO ON INTERMITTENTLY AT WILL. TODAY, WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A TIRE PROBLEM AND MENTIONED ALL THESE OTHER MESSAGE FAULTS, THE DEALER CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS TOO HIGH (THE "FIX" WAS DONE JUST 10 DAYS AGO) AND THE DEALER TOLD US, "YES, BUT THERE'S NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO, CALL HONDA." SO, I HAVE A $37,000 PIECE OF JUNK I CAN'T TRUST TO TAKE ACROSS TOWN. PS WE WERE COERCED INTO PURCHASING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY -- WHAT GOOD IS A WARRANTY IF THE DEALER ADMITS HE CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM?

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.

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.

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.
