Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2019 Honda CR-V - part 2

My car’s brakes fully engaged suddenly and without warning. There was no obstacle of any kind in front of my vehicle. I was traveling approximately 10 miles an hour when the phantom braking occurred.

Multiple times while driving on a highway with no other cars in front of me, the brake light flashes. Yesterday, without warning and no other car in front of me, the automatic brake system engaged and brought my vehicle to a complete stop. I was almost hit from behind by another car.

While driving about 30 mph on a street with no other vehicles nearby, the braking system suddenly stopped violently and started flashing brake on the dashboard. There were no cars nor nothing in the way that would of caused the vehicle to brake. This caused injury to my neck and shoulders.

I experienced a concerning incident while driving recently, and I would like to bring attention to several issues with my vehicle. Firstly, while turning onto a main street at a speed of 35mph, my vehicle's automatic emergency braking system unexpectedly activated, despite there being no obstruction in front, beside, or behind me. This occurred at a green light as I approached the beginning of the intersection. Additionally, I have been facing multiple problems with my stereo, including glitches, turning off unexpectedly, and the brightness becoming engaged and freezing. I had previously reported these issues to the dealership within the first two years of purchasing my vehicle in 2019. However, the technicians only unplugged and replugged the stereo, assuring me it would be "good. " I’m still currently dealing with the problem of the stereo glitches in 2024. Given these concerns, I am worried about the possibility of future issues arising and the potential for a collision due to my vehicle stopping itself randomly while driving. As a responsible driver with a family to consider, I kindly request immediate assistance in resolving these matters. To address the specific questions: 1. The component or system that failed or malfunctioned is the automatic emergency braking system. 2. Yes, the vehicle and its components are available for inspection upon request. 3. The safety of both myself and others was put at risk due to the sudden activation of the automatic emergency braking system. 4. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. 5. The vehicle and its components have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. 6. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure of the automatic emergency braking system.

Traveling about 30mph on a street, the car activated the automatic breaking for no apparent reason. The screen flashed the orange “break” sign at the same time that the car slammed the brakes on (with no prior warning). There were no cars in front, next to, or around me to the sides. There were no people or animals around and the weather was fully clear. The car behind me honked loudly at the sudden breaking of my vehicle. Everything in my car flew forwards (bags falling off the seat into the foot bed). It was very dangerous and I was lucky to avoid being hit from behind. I believe I injured my back and neck from the short stop as well. And my car just went through a full inspection at firestone two days ago and everything checked out fine. The breaks activated for absolutely no apparent reason.

Numerous times, I have been driving with absolutely no other vehicles or obstacles surrounding my vehicle, and it would suddenly activate the automatic braking system without warning, leading to a very rapid deceleration from a high rate of speed, almost causing me to crash.

My wife was the driver, and I was in the front passenger seat. We were going about 35 mph. Weather was not an issue. All of a sudden, and for no apparent reason, the car emergency braked to an emergency stop. We saw no warning lights on the instrument panel prior to the incident or afterwards. Traffic was light and nothing was nearby. Luckily no one was behind us, and no accident occurred. My wife and I had seat belts on and were not injured. We had our two dogs with us. They were thrown forward but were not injured, though they were scared. They are okay. We took the car to the Honda dealership in jefferson city, mo. They checked the car and said that a temporary stop of the radar code was stored in the integrated driver support system. They believed most likely a rock had hit the radar assembly and knocked it out of aim. They needed to recalibrate the radar to fix it. They said there was also a leak of the air conditioning and repair should be done at same time as the radar repair because the front bumper and radar had to be removed to perform the repairs. A part had to be ordered, so we had repair done six days later. In the meantime, we disabled the automatic emergency braking (aeb) feature. The car has now been fixed and appears to be operating properly, with aeb on.

I was driving my car in the city going 40 mph down a 4-lane road. There was no other traffic on the road at that time ahead of me, and the conditions of the roadway were dry with sunny weather. My vehicle's dashboard flashed and indicated automatic emergency breaking a couple of times, and suddenly slammed on the brakes. If the driver behind me had not been paying attention, then they could have rear-ended me causing injuries to the occupants of both vehicles. I was able to keep the vehicle in my lane, but the seatbelt knocked the air out of me due to the abrupt nature of the stop. I called the dealership, and they were not sure what caused it but informed me that I should wait until it does it again before bringing it in to be recalibrated.

On 2 separate occasions, the latest being today 3 March 2024 the automatic braking system has engaged when no obstacle present.

The Honda collision mitigation system (cmbs) engaged incorrectly. I was accelerating from an intersection with no cars in front of me or next to me when the car flashed the “brake” warning and engaged the brakes hard causing the car to come to a nearly full stop from around 25-30 mph. Had there been a car behind me, they would have been at risk of hitting me because of the sudden nature of braking. Fortunately that didn’t happen, but the hard braking did strain my neck. This had not happened before, but in the past, I have noticed the system incorrectly flashing the “brake” message when cars turn right from in front of me. I would make the vehicle available for inspection if asked, and will bring the issue to the dealership’s attention too.

The aeb system has malfunctioned on two occasions while driving the vehicle. Yes, the safety of myself & others was put at risk. The problem has not been confirmed by the dealer, but I plan on contacting the dealership this week to inform them of the issue and get more information on how to fix this problem. There has been no warning messages or other symptoms of the problem before. On both occasions where the aeb system malfunctioned, the dashboard screen lit up and said "brake" even though there was no traffic in front of my vehicle. The first time this happened was about a month ago, and the second occasion happened just yesterday afternoon.

Our 2019 Honda crv had all warning lights on and flashing non-stop on the dash. We contacted Honda support and was asked to take car to a Honda dealer for diagnostics. We took the car to a Honda dealer in huston TX. They found the cause dtc p0301, a internal failure to fuel injectors. We had to pay the dealer cash $$$$. We submitted the all repair documentations to Honda and asked for a reimbursement. Honda CO should have refund this repair cost!! it's so unfair that Honda denied to cover this recall repair just because somehow our car was not in the recall list!.

Tues 12-12-23 about 7:10 am. The sun has risen. No rain or weather issues. No cars were driving in front or behind me. One lane road. Driving about  25 mph. A metal plate for road construction is across the lane. My 2019 Cr-v comes to a sudden, complete stop. No warning, just beeps and slams on the brakes. Tires screech and my bags fly off the seat. Thankfully, no one was behind me or I could easily have been rear ended. This has happened to me before, two times before in a different city about 2 years ago. Day time, sunny, there was a metal plate in the lane. I was traveling 30+ mph. Again, the car just suddenly comes to a  complete stop. Same thing happened in the same spot about a week later with a passenger in the car. The second time the car behind me did also have to slam on their brakes and honk, but no accident occured. I did some reading up online and found the existing investigation. I'm horrified to see that this is happening so frequently with these cars and can happen at highway speeds. I'm scared to drive my car because these metal construction plates are such a normal occurance on roads. I have not been to a dealer yet as there appears to be no fix for this yet.

I was driving my 2019 Honda crv yesterday and it slammed on the brakes to a complete stop all by itself. It shocked me and jerked my head so badly. If I wasn't wearing my seat belt I would have gone through the windshield. If someone was driving behind me, they would have hit me. Please advise on what I should do. There is not a recall but online I saw there were other occurrences like this. This is the first time this has happened since I bought the car new. I have not taken it to the dealer yet. The brake warning light came on as it was braking.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the forward collision avoidance: emergency automatic braking feature activated without any other vehicles being nearby. The brake warning light was illuminated. On another occasion while driving on the roadway, the feature again activated erroneously. The contact believed that the failure was due to the steel plates on the roadway. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 178,000. The VIN was not available.

"brake" flashed on instrument panel and cars brakes were automatically applied for a second or so. This recently happened and once before about one year ago. Both incidents occurred in daylight on a clear, level paved road with no cars ahead in the lane at 35mph (estimated). Cruise control was off. These isolated incidents have not been previously reported and no injuries occured.

I was driving my car and suddenly the brake system stopped my car.

Car slams on brakes by itself. Once with large metal plate used for construction. Going about 40-45mph. Another time when someone turned completely and it slammed on the brakes nowhere near a vehicle.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the forward collision avoidance: automatic emergency braking system independently engaged. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,541.

I was driving and randomly , even though there was no imminent danger , the brake warning light flashed across my dashboard and immediately the car automatically slammed down on the brake even though my foot was not on the pedal. Luckily the person behind me did not collide into me. This is the second time it has happened in one week. I take my car to the Honda dealership tomorrow.

This was a recurrence of the incident that occurred approximately two months ago and was assigned tracking no. 11536519. Same thing occurred--traveling on paved street in town at 35 mph with no traffic ahead or behind--aeb or forward collision avoidance system engaged for no apparent reason.

As I was driving the vehicle suddenly braked to a complete stop in the middle of a street as I was crossing railroad tracks. I was at significant risk of being rear-ended as the car came to a complete stop without notice; there’s also risk of being run over by the train as I was stopped in the middle of the train tracks.

I was driving on the highway in atlanta at approximately average highway speed. I hit the break to avoid a vehicle - I don’t thin the extent of breaking was unusual breaking, but perhaps a bit harder than usual - and then I removed my foot off the break. The problem arose when the break remained engaged after I removed my foot from the break. Cars around me swerved in all directions to avoid hitting me. Eventually, perhaps one to two seconds later, the break disengaged and I was able to control the vehicle. I was alarmed that the break remained engaged after I removed my foot from the break and felt I had no control of the vehicle.

While driving at speed (about 45 mph) in moving traffic. The nearest car in front was a out 4-5 car lengths ahead. Without warning the auto-breaking system activated and immediately slammed on the breaks to slow the car losing about 20 mph before I was able to press on the gas to get it going again. I had to accelerate very quickly to avoid being hit from the rear as there was no reason for the car to brake and so no other vehicles on the road were slowing as all traffic was moving together through an intersection. There was a slight bump in the road as there is in intersections of crossing multi lane roads, but nothing that would require a normal slowdown. The weather was clear. . . No rain or fog or dust etc. This was unsafe for there was no reason for the car to brake. This made it all the more startling. Also it was dangerous because it put me at risk for a rear end impact since again there was nothing to require a breaking action no objects or slowing traffic ahead. There were no specific warnings or issues beforehand as for this system. The car has had its "radar / optical" based systems error message pop up saying the system was inoperative, but this was during rainy driving on somewhat dirty roads, so it was assumed this inop-mode was due to debris on the external sensors . . . However as stated during the auto breaking incident it was a clear day with no weather. We have not reported this to the dealer yet but will mention it next service. No outside agencies have inspected the car at this time since we did not get into an accident however that was very possible if someone was not paying attention behind me.

Brakes slammed on for no reason. No obstruction in the road. Traveling at 35 mph. Could be very dangerous. Second time this has happened. First time was traveling at 67 mph on interstate. No warning prior to automatic braking.

Three times the car braked automatically although there was no reason; traffic was consistent and there was no stop sign or stopped/slowing traffic. Several times (more than two/ less than six) the car auto corrected with lane assistance due to either shadows from telephone wires onto the road, or, pavement variations due to construction (on the interstate).

The vehicle's automatic braking engaged while I was crossing railroad tracks at a crossing. I had stopped prior to the tracks and was accelerating to go over the tracks when three beeps sounded from the dash display and the brakes activated. It stopped my car on the tracks momentarily and I had to accelerate hard to get it to disengage the brakes. There were no vehicles or other objects directly in front of me at the time. There was a train approaching, but it was far enough away to not be a problem. However, it was scary to be stuck on the tracks. I travel this same route 5-days per week for the past three years and this never happened before. It is also the first-time the auto braking system activated when there was no vehicle or object in front of me. The auto braking beeps and brake flashing warning display did activate at the time. I have an appointment to have the car inspected at the local dealership.

Two issues are going on and have been going on since I have had the vehicle: 1. The car will spontaneously brake hard when going down the road with no particular reason. It most frequently happens on the highway and it happens sporadically so it is difficult to replicate. I see it often but not all the time when crossing under an overpass or going off on an exit. The amount of brake use varies as well, sometimes just a tap and sometimes quite significant, losing 20-30 mph in seconds. 2. The infotainment system goes on the blink. Often starts with the brightness setting flashing up on the screen when nothing has been touched. Then it will go away, then brightness will blink back up, then the whole screen is useless / frozen or just disappears all together. I have a few videos of this. The only way to get it to work again is by stopping the car, turning it off and restarting it. This obviously is not possible at certain times and can be really difficult to deal with when going through a big city and relying on the map to help you navigate both roads and traffic (like when it happened on the george washington bridge in nyc).

The automatic braking system on my car continuously breaks for no reason at all. It’s happened probably 7-8 times since buying the vehicle in September 2022. The reason I am filing the complaint is because it did it yesterday to me in the middle of the interstate when nobody was in front of me, and the adaptive cruise control was not on. The car braked in the middle of the interstate causing me to nearly lose control of my vehicle. It happened again today while my husband was drive. This time, there was a car in front of us that had just turned and after the car turned, our car automatically braked after the car in front of us had made their turn. It caused the person behind us to nearly hit us because the car braked so suddenly.

Automatic emergency braking came on unexpectedly with no obstacles nearby. Was traveling at 35 mph with no cars around. Car decelerated sharply, throwing our dog against back of front seat. Then aeb disengaged with no further incident so far. This was earlier today.

When the fuel injectors go bad or out in the 2019 crv, the check engine light should just come on. Instead the crv 2019 crv all lights come on dashboard disabling all safety systems in the car and makes those safety systems unusable when it should just be alerting you of an engine issue. This could cause accidents with a vehicle, rather than the engine just shutting down. Honda has known about it not fixing not only fuel injector they need to be fixing the electric problem that goes along disabling the safety features. They also need to get fuel injector parts in stock. Also, the fuel injector cause further damage to other parts of the vehicle. It damages spark plugs, oil. Honda should been recalling this issue awhile. We take good care of our vehicle and have up kept this vehicle. This one needs to be fixed properly fixing just the injector not enough they have to fix the issue of the safety features where doesn’t disable the whole car along with new injectors.

I bought a Honda Cr-v 2019 with 30,695 miles on 7/22/2022 from an authorized dealer. Vehicle had 1 previous owner and a clean record. At around 50,000 miles the car started to have some computer glitches. Interior lights and radio turning on and off. Interior screen changing randomly and rapidly between functions. Nothing to where I was too concerned. I would turn the car on and off and it would fix itself. I am now at 56,000 miles and on 7/23/23 and my car had every light on the dashboard light up. It had the engine light, brake system, traction, steering acc and was showing warnings for: adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, forward collision warning, lane departures warning, lane keeping assistance, parking collision warning, rear cross traffic warning. I just received a call from the Honda mechanic, and they informed me it was the fuel injectors and possible spark plugs. It will cost $1,730. 00. They are also going to do a computer update and reset. Why is this problem not under warranty? this car is not that old and I make sure all my maintenance is done.

While driving the vehicle on multiple occasions, the emergency braking system would abruptly apply the brakes with the driver not applying and there being no cars within 500 feet or more of the car. In one case, no other car was on the road. No accidents occured as of yet, but one could easily result. The movement felt like a disfunction given the timing and lack of cars around.

I was driving about 25mph and my car came to a hard brake and stopped completely on its own. I did not have a brake warning light, no cars were too close in front of me. It almost caused the car behind me to rear end me. This is a 2019 Honda crv with approximately 46,000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving 50 mph with her grandchild in the vehicle, the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) engaged abruptly, nearly causing a crash. The brake warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that there were no objects or vehicles nearby the vehicle at the time of the failure. The contact stated that the failure recurred on two occasions. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.
