I was driving today and for no reason at all the cars anti collision system automatically braked hard and could have caused an accident if someone was driving behind me. There was no one, objects or vehicles around my car at the time that would cause it to happen.
Contacted Honda corporate multiple times including the dealer , no remedy to ensure the safety of my vehicle which is at risk of stalling during operation related to national recall of fuel pump indicating the vehicle is unsafe to operate. Case manager from Honda corporate uninformed, disengaged and rude. No transportation accommodations, no call or follow ups . Dealer not available to provide inspection or repairs. Vehicle is unsafe to operate leaving my family abandoned with no options in a vehicle I am making payments on.
Steering- the steering wheel sticks and clicks and makes it very hard to maintain a straight path. Assisted braking- brakes randomly has caused me to almost get rear ended on highway multiple times dropped off to to dealer today. . Acted like they have never heard of these two problems.
I was driving through an intersection when my car suddenly applied the brakes even though the vehicle in front was way ahead of me and in motion. Thankfully the driver behind me was not close enough to have collided with the rear of my vehicle. Prior to this happening as I was driving on the highway, the vehicle did mark the brake warning sign even though I was at a safe distance from the vehicle in front. This is the first time I have encountered this problem, howevever I am very scared that this could cause an accident in the future if it were to happen again.
The automatic break warning came on with no one in front of me and the car came to a halting stop. Thankfully the car behind me was paying attention otherwise I would have been rear ended. I think this happened one other time, but I recall someone in front of me. The incident today 3-24-2022 was very distinctive.
I was driving on a surface street going approximately 5 - 8 mph and was 2-3 car lengths from the vehicle in front of me when my vehicles automatic emergency braking system engaged without warning, causing the car behind me to have to brake abruptly.
March 5th 2020 I finally recorded a message that had been appearing in my dash board during late night drives. Message read as "adaptive cruise control problem" "collision mitigation system problem" I notified Honda of north hollywood service department at the time, and they said they could not do anything to fix the problem unless the message was actively displayed on the dash board during the time of service. Unfortunate for me the message would come and go and would not remain on for the service advisor to see. Several times my vehicle would randomly brake abruptly (to a screeching halt) due to a malfunction in detecting cars/objects around me. Luckily I managed to not crash or have other vehicles crash into my car from behind, but it scared me. I've always wondered what the issue was, and was never able to get it resolved because I didn't have proof of the abrupt stops. Fast forward to may 2024 I received a letter in the mail for a recall on the fuel pump module. I think this might have something to also do with not being able to start my car three times within one year. . . I ended up replacing multiple batteries and cleansing the fuel tank thinking that was the issue and I have been mobile since then. I have contacted curry Honda in georgia multiple times to get the recall resolved. 8 months since I received the recall notice, and the issue is still unresolved. Please help. I rely on this vehicle to get to work, and I am still paying on this car. I am concerned of the safety issue.
