1 Brake Sensor problem of the 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid

Failure Date: 02/25/2019

I purchased a new 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid on June 30, 2018 from Honda of kirkland for my daughter. On Monday, February 25, 2019, when she was driving back from class on a road at 35 mph, the collision mitigation system brake warning flashed then braked immediately, stopping the car in traffic. No obstacles or cars were in front of her. Fortunately, the cars behind her were far enough away that they were able to stop. In addition, she tried to get out of the way of traffic by pressing the accelerator, but the car would not respond for several moments after the automatic braking occurred. She also told me that the brake warning had been coming on often when nothing was in front of her. In addition, the lane departure feature has been malfunctioning, trying to pull her to the left lane into oncoming traffic when driving on curving roads. The car is currently at the Honda dealership, but the only thing they found was "a little dirt" on one of the sensors, stating that there was nothing wrong with the Honda sensing system. I have found class action lawsuits filed against Honda for faulty collision mitigation systems on at least two of their models (accord & crv). In addition, I have found pages of results for these problems with Honda and Acura (Honda corporation) when simply typing in "collision mitigation system problems". Please see the links below.

2 Brake Sensor problem of the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid

Failure Date: 12/07/2017

As I was driving on the highway on the left lane at a speed of 60-65 mph, all the safety systems on the car reported error and I lost the brakes on the car. I was able to move into the right most lane and eventually onto the shoulder of the highway and come to a rolling stop by shifting into neutral. I tried to restart the car to see if the sensors reset, but that didn't happen. I had to get towed home and then to the Honda dealership. After a day the Honda service department called me back and suggested that there was some kind of a simulator issue on the car and that part had failed and needs to be replaced. I was lucky that I walked away from this without any accident. However, this has surely impacted me and my wife emotionally. We are not confident with the safety of the car anymore.
