I get a random warning to brake when nothing is in front of me. It doesn't happen often, but it happens. P. S. I can not answer the questions below for some unknown reason. The dates vary and the car had approximately 30,000 miles.
Driving about 35mph. Nearest vehicle ahead of me (semi trailer) was about a block ahead. My brake alert came on. I did not brake because there was no need to. Then the car applied the brakes automatically. No accident as no one was behind me. This occurred first week of Dec 2023. There was a prior incident about a month ago where the car ahead of me was about a car and a half length ahead. Brake alert came on, then went off. I didn’t brake and really didn’t think too much of it. But after reading online, others having issues I thought it needs to be reported.
Whenever it snows, the radar placement on the front grill of the vehicle gets covered in snow/ice, etc. And all advanced safety features are shut off while driving. This has been reported to Honda before over the last 2 years to no avail. This is a safety hazard and also very dangerous while driving in inclement weather.
Twice, I've been driving down the road, and the emergency braking system has engaged with no car near me. I get thrown against the seatbelt hard enough that it triggers the seatbelt to lock. I'm sure I would have been rear-ended if someone had been behind me. My foot was still on the gas both times it happened. I'm now scared to drive my car because I don't know when it will suddenly break hard and, maybe, hard enough to trigger airbags.
Driving down I-40 with lane keeping and cruise control on the car tries to stop when it comes up to a car on the right. Driving down a two lane road with lane keeping and cruise and it will try to stop for vehicles coming towards me but they are in their lane.
