Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2017 Honda CR-V - part 2

I was driving and my car just randomly slammed on the breaks going through an intersection. There were no cars ahead of me for my car to use the brake censor and there were no cars behind me so I was lucky and did not get rear ended. This happened for a split second then my car was normal again. It stopped so quick and the car made a noise at the same time. I was concerned on why it did that so I went down and turned around and drove that path again. It did not do it again the 2nd time and there was nothing in the road that should of made my car brake on it's own. Lucky I was not going so fast and not on the highway. I have reported it to Honda and there are no recalls on my VIN at this time per Honda.

I was on an exit ramp from one freeway to another. The Honda collision management warning system activated with 2 warning indicators and alerts then immediately activated the brakes hard skidding the tires. After 2-3 seconds it released the brakes. There were no vehicles in front or to the side of me. A vehicle behind braked to avoid me. The weather was clear with good visibility. The sun was to the left. The pavement was dry. I took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection. There were no computer codes recorded for the event. They inspected the camera and radar, and test drove the vehicle and reported no problems.

The car just braked and stopped for no reason. Nothing in front of me. I could've been rear ended. Took it to the dealer the following day and they could not replicate the incident. They found nothing wrong with the brakes. Brake warning light came on when the car came to an unexpected and sudden stop.

Twice in the last five weeks upon accelerating from a stop my car hard braked all by itself with sufficient force to push the driver and passenger very hard toward the front dashboard. One of the times I thought the air bags might have gone off. If someone had been behind I probably would have been rear-ended. In neither of the cases I received any fault or warning lights or indicators nor did I touch the brake pedal.

On October 6, I was driving my 2017 Honda Cr-v and it automatically slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road. There were no cars in front of me, no pedestrian, nothing. It was a very strong jolt and I was lucky no car crashed into me due to the sudden stop. This had not happened previously. I took the car to a nearby dealership on October 11. The problem could not be replicated by the dealership. At first, the dealership wanted to blame it on a dirty sensor and close the job. Because I had looked at the NHTSA site, I was persistent that they look at the software. They did say they found a bulletin for updates and that the radar system needed one, so they completed it. I am concerned that most car owners may not even know this is a possible issue until it happens to them and that dealerships may not be aware of this issue and write it off to something else because it can't be replicated immediately.

Four different times when driving through an underpass. My car instantly slammed on the brakes. Almost causing an accident the last time. I took it to the Honda dealership after 2nd incident and they could not find the problem. Happened twice since then.

I experienced “phantom braking” while driving across an intersection. The vehicle “brake” warning appeared on the display screen without any obstruction on the road. It then very abruptly screeched to a halt automatically. This incident put my infant, myself, and other drivers at risk. The speed limit on that street is 35 mph. Sudden braking to that degree can cause a collision.

On 8/25/23 around 6:45am, I was exiting the gas station parking lot going around 15mph, and the car slammed on the brakes. The abs engaged itself even though there was nothing in front or around me. I knew I didn't step on the wrong pedal, because the abs indicator that says "brake" came on and this only comes on when the abs senses something in front of the car. All the stuff on my seat flew on to the floor. This happened once before a few years ago. A few times in the last few years, the car has been glitchy and "brightness" starts blinking uncontrollably on the screen. Sometimes if I shut off the car for a few minutes it will resolve but sometimes not. We purchased the car new and have been the only drivers.

I alone in the car driving on a residential street, about 20 miles per hour. There were no cars in front of me when my brakes slammed on suddenly! I was jerked forward and items that were on my passenger seat flew to the the floor. Thankfully there was nobody behind me either, so there was no accident. It was a clear sunny day with no obstructions. There were no messages or warnings that I saw. This happened about 5 days ago. This has never happened before ( I’ve had this vehicle since 2017) and so far it hasn’t happened again. As far as I can tell there are no recalls for this issue, but I did see in my google research that there have been other reports by Honda owners of this issue. I have not yet contacted Honda.

The cmbs system malfunctions and phantom brakes when there isn’t anything obstructing the road. It has done it 5 or 6 times, and the dealership can’t do anything to fix it.

Issue #1: automatic braking self-engaged. Approximate date: 11/21/2022 mileage: 70k I was driving home. I was traveling southbound approximately 40 mph on a 4 lane road (2 each direction). The weather was clear (I. E. , no rain or other adverse conditions). No other cars (northbound or southbound), pedestrians, or objects were on or near the roadway and my car, without warning, applied the brakes, hard. The automatic braking system had engaged by itself, without warning. Imagine driving down the road and for no reason, without warning, the car abruptly attempts to stop itself. There's little to be done and it's quite precarious, especially if the road I was on had heavier traffic. Thankfully, no one was behind me or I would have been in an accident. It was pretty scary -- my passenger looked at me and wondered why on earth I'd applied the brakes so hard but I hadn't personally touched them--there was no reason to stop or slow down in the middle of the street that day. When the automatic braking engaged, there was no warning and the vehicle was running fine. Issue #2: faulty electrical system + sensor failure. Date: 7/17/2023 mileage: 85k all possible electrical warnings came up on my dash while idling in a grocery store parking spot at the prompting me to research complaints (I didn't know NHTSA handled complaints; hence, I'm filing two simultaneously in this report today). I observe a regular, routine maintenance schedule at the local dealership, and while I expect some maintenance, particularly as the vehicle gets older, I should not be having these types of issues. I was able to clear the dash warnings myself after manually rebooting the system 4 times, but I'm sure that only alleviates the symptoms not any root cause. Based on the plethora of articles on the internet about this, it seems that the 2017 Honda Cr-v has some faulty sensors and electrical issues which are a threat to personal and public safety and need additional investigation.

I just purchased a 2017 Honda crv the end of may, and while driving in the streets doing lift, my car suddenly came to a dead stop for no reason! fortunately, I was not on the freeway and there were no cars behind me while driving on a main street going about 40mph. I called the Honda dealership and they could not figure what happened. They only suggested to deactivate the collision mitigation braking system™ (cmbs™) every time I get in the car. This was very scary and I find it unsafe and tedious to do this every time! I'm hesitant to drive my car but it's my only transportation! unsafe car!!!!.

Today July 5 while driving on local streets at approximately 35 mph my brakes activated. As quickly as they activated they released. It all occurred in a matter of seconds. The instrument panel brake warning light flashed "brake". I was not alone in the vehicle when this happened and my passenger was as surprised as I. There were no other vehicles in the area. My car has approximately 51,000 miles. It is the first time this has happened. I have not reported this to my selling dealership but will contact them regarding this event.

Our Honda 2017 Cr-v awd ex randomly braked in traffic causing the car behind us almost rear-end us. We had no warning at all this would happen. No warning lights were on. My wife, myself and our 3 year old were all put at risk. We are waiting a call back from the Honda service department. . Read more...

The 2017 crv stopped with no apparent reason whatsoever. We were driving about 45 miles an hour with my family in the car and for no apparent reason the car engaged is braking system. There were no cars in front no pedestrians nothing. This is happened several times and I'm afraid to put my new 17-year-old driver behind the wheel. We had a near miss and almost got rear-ended I hope that they can come to a resolution as to this issue because obviously there is one.

I was driving on local street at 35miles and my Honda crv2017 suddenly started beeping with break message and after few second before I do anything it did automatic hard break. I was alone on street and other car before me was atleast 5-6 cars distance ahead. I read online where multiple people complaint about same issue so I'm reporting it here. Earlier I was getting few break warning without any car ahead or near by but this time it was hard break which may have caused rear ending if other vehicles are behind me. Recently my car passed inspection and I'm seeing this kind of issue.

Fuel injector system issue which disables key safety features of our Cr-v's when it occurs. An injector issue should not cause safety features of the Cr-v to stop working (ex. Adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, tps, hill start assist, braking, etc. . . ) in addition to the disabling key safety features, this Cr-v's have reportedly gone into limp mode while at highway speeds. If this occurs to you while you have a 18 wheeler on your rear, you could potentially be in a serious injury/life event.

Twice while driving the car slammed on the brakes by itself, once driving 25 miles and once driving 38 miles. Both times there was no debris/object that could have included the car to sense an impending commission. Both incidents were sudden and without warning, scaring my child in the back seat and almost causing an accident by my car becoming close to being rear-ended.

My 2017 Honda Cr-v decided to brake all by itself while driving on the highway going 65 mph. This incident first happened to me in may 2023 on a clear sunny day with my 1 month old baby and fiancé in the car. My fiancé thought I slammed on the brakes but in fact I did not, I was on the highway going 65mph. I was so scared because I didn’t even know my car was capable of braking on its own until that day. Everything in the vehicle flew to the front of the car, luckily no one was behind me or in front of me at that time and we were all okay but we were shaken up. The second time it happened, I was with my fiancé again on a backroad about a month later with no one in front of me or behind me, again on a clear day and my car slammed on the brakes by its own. From that second time on I always turn off my collision mitigation system hoping it makes a difference and does not do it again. I love my car but it is a complete hazard if it brakes on its own with no warning prior to it happening. I did call Honda to see if this was an issue or if there was a recall but the lady told me there is no recall at this time and this was the second time she has heard of this. I do not know what will cause the car to brake on its own, I can’t replicate it on demand, it is very random. I made sure my sensors were not obstructed and were clear. Hopefully Honda will do something about this issue, this is completely unacceptable.

All advanced emergency systems kept flashing randomly without any notice the brakes would lock up. It indicated that the emergency brake had engaged. I could not go forwand I could not I couldn't go in reverse. I was unable to disengage the brake. I went on youtube and attempted to disengage then randomly I was able to do this period. After having happened intermittently I brought it to the dealer period they scoped it and found no problem. It was a random occurrence there was no rhyme or reason why this was happening . After a while at the dealers it occurred and the dealer said it was the electronic breaking system . This was an extreme safety issue because I did not know when the car was going to stop. It didn't matter if I was going fast or slow it just happened. The only warning that I had were that all the advanced lighting started to flash period but that necessarily did not mean the car was going to stop it was a random you're very very dangerous the only warning that I had were that all the advanced lighting started to flash period but that necessarily did not mean the car was going to stop . It was a random you're very very dangerous I had to pay $2400 out-of-pocket because the dealership did not submit it prior to repairing it to my extended warranty easy care gold level policy for prior authorization (10yr, 120,000 mi. ).

We were driving about 35 mph when the car suddenly beeped a warning “brakes” while simultaneously slamming on the brakes. There was a metal construction plate on the roadway at the place where the incident occurred. My left wrist was injured as it was bent back by the steering wheel, my wife wasn’t watching the road and is complaining of neck pain/strain. We feel very lucky there was no one behind us at the time.

When driving normal speeds, the automatic emergency braking system activated and brought the car to a complete and sudden stop for no reason. There was nothing in front of me and thankfully, no one close behind me. I am terrified to drive my car now. What if I was in front of a tractor trailer or dump truck and then system engaged again for no reason?.

The emergency braking was turned off by me a few years ago due to this happening before. Today while I was driving about 35 mph, my car did a hard brake pushing everything including myself to the front giving me whiplash. Good thing nobody was behind me or else they would’ve ran into me for sure. There was nothing even in front of me to even cause this to even happen. I will be calling the dealership about this tomorrow. There was no warning lamps, messages or anything else to indicate this was about to happen or should be happening.

Have owned the vehicle for 6 months. In that time the vehicle has applied braking by itself more than 10 times when there has been no reason (no car in front, no debris in road, no adverse weather, nothing but clear pavement), . Happens on low speed roads (35 mph) and also on highway speeds. Have been lucky not to be rear ended or cause another type of accident due to drivers avoiding the my car that is emergency braking for no reason. The times the vehicle flashes the "brake" warning is 30 or more times (not applying the brakes - just audible alarm and message). Out of all those times, there were 2 instances that made sense for the vehicle to flash a warning. All others were false positives that frighten the driver and cause significant distraction from the driving task. This system should be shut off. The vehicle is less safe to drive with the system active. Help!! Honda service has been no help on this issue.

At approximately 10:15am on 1/7/2023, I was driving down westport road at approximately 45mph. As I approached the intersection at town center drive the collision warning system alert started to go off. There was no car in front of me and the cars on town center drive were at a stop. As I went through the light, without warning, the automatic breaking system engaged, bringing my car to a complete stop. Fortunately, there was no car behind me or there would have been a serious accident.

Hello team, there is an ongoing issue with Honda crv's where all dashboard warning lamps turn on themselves and keep beeping and flashing, affecting all electronic features on the car. So many people are complaining about this issue, check google or you tube but Honda is not recalling these cars and if you are past your manufacturer warranty, the dealership charges a heck of money and when they fix the issue, that's a temporary solution as the issue comes back just a few days after. I would like to raise this issue and I hope my voice will be heard. I am a canadian customer in mississauga, I could not find the right form for canadian customers thank you.

On six occasions, two of which were within the last month, my car has breached automatically for no apparent reason. It has stopped quickly from high speeds, and I am concerned that I could be rear ended if the car stops without warning. This has occurred on the freeway, and on the regular streets, with and without shadows, present, with and without rain. It has only happened during the day.

Brake sensor warning light randomly came on. Emergency brake would't disengage. Abs module defective and had to be completely replaced and reprogrammed. Vehicle has less than 75000 miles; one owner.

The car is suddenly braking at random times and has come close to causing me to be rear ended a few times.

I was driving about 25mph, nothing in front of me, when the automatic breaking suddenly beeped and engaged — slamming on the breaks. Luckily there was no one behind me or there could have been an accident. I've lost all trust in the system and am now terrified of it, but I cannot disable it permanently.

Was driving down hwy about 60 miles per hour when the car abruptly almost came to a complete stop on its own and the brake light warning flashed up on dashboard display. There were no vehicles on the road ahead of me or, thankfully, behind me. Would have probably went thru windshield if I didn’t have seatbelt on and would have been rear ended if someone had been following me closely. Was extremely shaken up by the incident. Called dealer (jeff wyler Honda in florence, ky)and left a message as got no answer when I called regarding incident. No one from dealership has gotten back with me yet.

While driving at approximately 35 mph with my foot on the gas pedal, the brakes abruptly and forcefully engaged causing my vehicle to come to a complete and abrupt halt. Upon looking at the dash board, the word “brake” was present. There was no oncoming traffic, no intersection present , and a vehicle some distance behind me. Upon contacting Honda online, they shared that there was no open campaign regarding my issue and suggested that I contact the local service department.

Driving along going 30mph, all of a sudden my automatic braking came on and put on my brakes for no reason. I had no one in front of me and it is a good thing nobody was behind me or I would have been in an accident.

Vehicle's automatic emergency braking system malfunctions by braking when there is no vehicle, pedestrian, other object, etc in front of vehicle. This has occurred approximately 10 times.

While driving approximately 40mhp on a city road, without anything in close proximity in front of me, the automatic emergency braking engaged for no reason, causing the car to slow down dramatically. No accident occurred, but this put me at high risk of being rear-ended. On at least 3 previous occasions, while driving on the highway (approx 65mph) the system has flashed the "brake now" warning when there was no need to actually brake, though in those circumstances the actual breaks were not engaged, it did startle me to start to break without reason, again causing increased risk for causing an accident.
