The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,960.
We have a 2017 Honda Cr-v. On April 29, 2020, I was driving straight on a city street going about 20-25 miles per hour. There were no other vehicles or any other obstacle in front of my car. Without warning, and on its own, the car's orange brake warning light came on and the car was brought to a hard stop in the middle of the road. The items on the back seat were thrown to the floor and we were thrown forward in our seats in the front enough that the seat belts engaged. This was instant and then immediately the car resumed to normal operation. We notified the dealer and they indicated that they had not head of this happening before and that Honda did not have any recall for this yet. This was a frightening experience - fortunately no one was behind us, but suppose there had been or we had been on the highway with more traffic and large trucks.
The automatic breaking function is randomly applying the brakes, or warning to brake, at random times when there are no other vehicles or people around the car. The automatic braking system has applied itself 3 times, with very hard braking to the point that the seatbelts locked up, while merging or exiting the freeway, going anywhere from 25-45 mph'ish. One time I was almost rear ended and the vehicle behind had to swerve to avoid hitting me (because they were also tailgating), another time was while exiting a bridge, and the most recent was this morning while merging onto the freeway in front of a big rig and the brakes randomly slammed themselves on for absolutely no reason. While driving on surface streets it has automatically applied the brakes lightly at least twice, and given countless false braking warnings when driving around city streets. This is a major safety hazard!.
While driving in cruise control, the brake light will come on and the vehicle will almost come to a complete stop, with no one in front of me. My wife and I were almost in an accident when this happened on I-75 at 65 mph. Also, this brake light indicator will come on without being in cruise. This has happened over 6 times.
Vehicle was shut off at a tire shop to get new tires put on. Upon attempting to start the car again, a warning showed up on the screen saying "electronic brake failure". The car is equipped with electronic brakes that automatically turn on when the car is put into park and turned off. They are supposed to turn back off when the car is started, but on this occasion they were unable to turn back off. This stopped the car from being able to start at all, multiple indicators on the dash were throwing errors, the check engine light was on, the brake light was flashing, and it continued to show "electronic brake failure". When the dealership was contacted they said there wasn't anything they could do but to tow it 2 hours away to look at it, then they suggested disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes to get the brakes to release, which was done and did release the brakes and clear the error. Because the battery was removed, any codes stored were cleared so when it was brought in the car showed that everything was fine and they were unable to reproduce the issue. It seems to be a common enough issue now on all new Hondas with the electronic brake feature to the point that googling it will come up with multiple forums talking about it.
On Monday, 8-20-18, the collision avoidance system caused the car to slam on it's brakes. There were no other vehicles or pedestrians anywhere near the vehicle. In the past, the brake light on the dash has lit up before with no vehicles around, but this is the first time it has slammed on the brakes. I took it to the dealer who said everything checked out fine, then printed out a bunch of papers for me explaining how the system works, which is basically saying it didn't happen. We are very fortunate that there were no cars behind us. This is a serious issue which needs to be dealt with before someone gets hurt.
For a second time we have taken the vehicle to the service department after having problems with it not having power to go past 2 rpms and pulling as if it has a problem with the fuel line. After having vehicle towed the first instanceon10/17/2017 they checked it and could find no evidence of anything gone wrong, the car was only 2 weeks old. This second incident comes 1 month later and now the brake system light came on and even though the gear shifter was in the correct position there were two letters on top of one another and blinking. We could only drive it up to 30 miles an hour without it pulling. There were no problems breaking. 11/21/2017.
