1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2025

I purchased my Honda Accord June 21, 2024. For the first 3 months, the brake system indicator rectangle shape amber light (blinked on and off for several seconds) on 8 separate occasions when driving this car, so I brought the car to Honda dealer that concluded it must be dust on the brake for the next 3 months, the brake system indicator rectangle light (blinked amber on and off) on 6 separate occasions, the Honda dealer told me they could not find a problem with the brake, for the next 4 months,the brake system indicator rectangle light (blinked amber on and off) on 3 separate occasion , again the Honda dealer told me they could not find a problem but I noted that the dealer did not have record this on the work order. I then called Honda customer service (800-999-1009) support on June 23, 2025 at 1:17pm. I told the representative that the 2024 owners manual on page 84-85 did not have an amber brake indicator message among the 30 or so indicators in the manual. On page 493, the manual also mentions "if the brake system indicator (red) comes on or blinks, there is a malfunction in the brake system" on page 494, the manual also mentions "if the brake system indicator (red) comes on or blinks at the same time when the brake system indicator (amber), release the parking brake. The representative could not explain what a blinking amber brake system indicator meant and I should return car to the Honda dealer. Upon my insistence, my call was escalated and that a senior representative agreed that an blinking amber brake indicator explanation is not in the owners manual and could not provide me with an answer. Her best guess was that I was to close to a car in front of me (even though this has happened when there was not car in from of me). Can the NHTSA provide me with an explanation on why the brake system indicator rectangle light (blinked amber on and off) or have Honda provide the NHTSA with an explanation if this represents a dangerous situation to dri.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2025

Several times the vehicle has automatically braked at low speeds (20-30 mph), nothing in front of the vehicle to cause this. Today it automatically braked. . . Hard. . . At 55 mph, again, nothing in front of vehicle, clear morning, road was clear. It braked so hard I'm pretty sure I have whiplash. I immediately called victory Honda. They told me to go wash my car and call them back if it happens again. The only warning it gave was the brake light and beeping, but it was instant. Thankful there was no one behind me.

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2025

Gas pedal would not engage after I rolled through a stop sign leaving me in the middle of a intersection. Causing a accident.

4 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 01/27/2025

While driving the vehicle, usually while passing another vehicle, it slams on the brakes suddenly and decelerates rapidly. I suspect it has something to do with how it reads it's surroundings. When it happens, which is without warning, the brake light comes on the dash. It has happened multiple times but recently it was a close call with another vehicle behind me on the interstate. Which is why I'm taking the time to report this. I have not had it inspected.

5 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2024

I was driving the vehicle with no other vehicles in front of me, yet the vehicle hard braked as if it sensed a collision was about to occur. This happened on 08/23/2024 around 10:05 am.

7 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 04/24/2024

On 4/24/2024 at 12:05pm with my wife in the my new Honda Accord. I was traveling between 30 and 40 mph with nothing in front of me the aeb activated bringing the car to a complete stop. Nothing lit up on the dashboard at the time of activation. Since this car is brand new and only has 550 miles on it I am very concerned for my safety. If there was a car in back of me it would have caused a rear end collision. I took this vehicle immediately to crown Honda in saint petersburg florida to be assessed.

8 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2024

On 2 separate occasions while driving, I have taken an exit that has 2 left and 2 right turn lanes. While I'm in the middle left turn lane and a car is in the middle right turn lane the radar cone for the emergency braking system will trigger an imminent collision and slam on the brakes even though cars are in completely different lanes and I have nothing in front of me. Both incidents have caused near misses from cars behind me. I'm not sure I even feel safe driving this car anymore, if technology that is supposed to keep me and my passengers safe is this unpredictable to the interpretation of my environment, it will inevitably cause a collision and after viewing articles around news outlets it looks like this has already happened. It seems to be a sensitivity issue with the sensors on the front of the car or that the sonar is too wide. Either way, this needs to be fixed before drivers start getting into more serious collisions rather than small fender benders as there are a lot of crvs and Accords with this issue already on the road.

9 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2024

I was trying to back up and the car would not go. A warning on the dash came on that said collision mitigation system problem, see your dealer. I put the car in drive and it hesitated like a brake was on. . I couldn't get above 10 miles per hour. It was like I was trying to go forward, but someone was pulling me back at the same time. I took it to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong.
