While using adaptive cruise control set to the longest following distance on open roads with no vehicle ahead, the car suddenly applies the brakes as if detecting an obstacle. This also occurs when vehicles pass on two-lane roads. The braking is unexpected and creates a risk of being rear-ended. The issue happens repeatedly under normal driving conditions.
This car brakes at least once a week while using adaptive cruise control despite zero carsz people or anything at all being in front of me. It's extremely common and dangerous. Look on Honda forums on facebook or I suspect anywhere else and you'll see. I had a 2023 Honda hrv and never had such issues. I don't know what they've changed but it's unsafe. They're going to literally kill someone.
