1. VEHICLE INAPPROPRIATELY BRAKED TO A FULL STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. VEHICLE MOVING AT SLOW SPEED BOTH TIMES. OCCURRED IN JULY 2019 AND JAN 2021 INFORMED DEALER BOTH TIMES. VEHICLE INSPECTED AFTER THE FIRST TIME AND INDICATED SYSTEM IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BUT ALARMING THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED IF THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND US. 2. NO LONGER USING CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE CAR INAPPROPRIATELY BRAKES. THE CAR HAS SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH WHERE WE HAD TO PRESS THE GAS TO AVOID A COLLISION ON THE HIGHWAY. THE BRAKING OCCURRED WHEN THERE WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN OUR VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. WE DID NOT NOTIFY THE DEALER OR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WE ASSUMED IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE AND COULD NOT BE FIXED BY A TECHNICIAN. 3. ON THE HIGHWAY, PASSING CERTAIN EXITS TRIGGERS THE LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, FORCING THE CAR TO BRAKE. WE HAVE TO PRESS ON THE GAS IN ORDER TO DRIVE SAFELY THROUGH THE TROUBLE SPOTS TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. WE HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW CERTAIN EXITS BECAUSE THERE IS A CONCERN THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AS WE DRIVE NEW ROADS. WE VERBALLY COMMUNICATED THIS TO HONDA CORPORATE AND THE DEALER IN JAN 2021, AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THIS IS EXPECTED BEHAVIOR AND TO SEE THE MANUAL FOR LIMITATIONS OF THE SYSTEM. I DID RECEIVE CONFIRMATION THAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS CONCERN AS WELL. THE SAFETY FEATURES HAVE TRIGGERED ENOUGH FALSE POSITIVES FOR US THAT WE NO LONGER DRIVE THIS CAR WITH THE FAMILY AND ONLY WHEN NEEDED. SINCE WE HAVE OBSERVED OTHER REPORTS NOTING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES, WE ARE ASSUMING THAT THERE IS A TREND AND OTHERS SHARE THE SAME SAFETY CONCERNS.

THE CAR INAPPROPRIATELY BRAKED, FULL STOP, TWO TIMES. THE LAST EVENT OCCURRED ON JAN 9, 2021. WE REPORTED BOTH INCIDENTS TO THE DEALER. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT IN JULY 2019, AND THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT REPLICATE. WE WERE INFORMED THE CAR IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE SECOND DISCUSSION WITH THE DEALER (JAN 11, 2021) RESULTED IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF ADJUSTING THE SENSOR LENGTH UNDER CUSTOMIZE FEATURES. IT WAS DESCRIBED AS A POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENT BUT NOT A GUARANTEE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE WILL MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT TONIGHT. BOTH OCCASIONS, THE STOP OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND LUCKILY NO ONE BEHIND. IT WAS ALARMING THAT A SAFETY FEATURE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HONDA CORPORATE'S RESPONSE WAS THAT THE SYSTEM IS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND SEE THE MANUAL FOR THE LIMITATIONS. WE NO LONGER USE THE CAR FOR THE FAMILY.

SEVERAL DAYS AGO MY CRV BEGAN LURCHING WITH A MISFIRE, FIRST THE POWER WAS GREATLY REDUCED AND THEN THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAVE ON OCCASION SMELLED A GAS TYPE SMELL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. A FRIEND HAS A OBD11 READER AND MY ENGINE SHOWED A P 0304 CODE WHICH IS A CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE AND A P 2097 CODE WHICH IS A POST CATALYTIC CONVERTER TOO RICH WARNING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO LUTE RILEY HONDA IN RICHARDSON, TX AND A WARRANTY SERVICE WAS PERFORMED THAT I UNDERSTAND IS A RESETTING OF ENGINE CODES AND A HVAC CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED. UPON PICKING THE VEHICLE UP AFTER DRIVING JUST A FEW MILES THE ENGINE LURCHING RETURNED AND ULTIMATELY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER WAS REDUCED TO ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENED IN AN INTERSECTION AND WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF AND STOP THE ENGINE. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND WITH NO ENGINE LIGHT ON DROVE VERY SLOWLY TO MY HOME. I PLAN ON TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER IN THE MORNING.

THE INDICATORS WERE NOT WORKING AND THE SCREEN INSIDE THE CAR ALSO STOPPED WORKING. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TRUNK COULD NOT OPEN. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WHEN THE CAT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY (AROUND 6000 MILES ON IT), THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAD TO DO A "HARD RESET" TO GET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BACK ON. TWO YEARS AFTER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ( CAR NOW HAS AROUND 12000 MILES), BUT THE LIGHTS WENT BACK ON WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE GETTING INTO THE CAR, ALL THE WINDOWS WENT DOWN HALF WAY ON THEIR OWN AFTER I OPENED THE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE.

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.

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.
