The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the forward collision avoidance system would inadvertently activate intermittently without a vehicle nearby. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
Most recently, driving along on a sunny day at about 45 mph on a flat road. No other vehicles on the road in sight. The collision warning system beeped and flashed the warning on the dash. At the same time the system engaged the brakes momentarily before disengaging. The braking lowered my speed to about 30-35 mph. The only conclusion I could reach was that the system mistook the shadow of a tree for an object but I have no way to know. This has happened before when taking an exit ramp from a highway when the collision warning flashed and the system engaged the brakes momentarily, dropping my speed somewhat, before disengaging. In both cases, I do not know why the system disengaged, though I am glad it did as other vehicles approached from behind soon after.
On Friday, April 2nd, I was driving home on the 710 fwy on the far left lane. I was driving around 75mph and there was an object on the ground which looked like an empty potato chip bag, it wasn't anything that would have done any damage to my car but my Honda sense's collision mitigation braking system activated for no reason and alerted me to brake and started applying pressure. I had no reason to stop so I had to swerve into the shoulder lane to prevent my car from braking unexpectedly which could have resulted into a deadly collision if there was a car close behind me. I have footage of the video and requested this to be looked into because if this is a faulty sensory issue, I would like it corrected immediately to prevent further issues. I do not want this to happen again because this incident was very dangerous when I did not have control of my own vehicle and it tried to override my command to keep driving straight.
