Automatic Emergency Braking Problems of Honda Ridgeline - part 2

The alarm system goes off at random times throughout the day, headlights stay on after the alarm activates, interior dash warning lights flicker and voltage fluctuates with sound. Happens if key fob is in my pocket or not. Events started in oct 2019 and continued until sep2020, when I unplugged the hood alarm activation switch. This disabled the alarm from going off at random times but didn't stop the dash warning lights from flickering and voltage fluctuating sounds. As of oct 2021, now a slew of dash warning lights from "trailer assist, uphill assistant, lane assistant" plus many more have taken over my dash. At random times the brake assist will activate and cause my truck to temporarily lock up, then go back to normal. It appears to happen to be worse after heavy rains.

1st time we were driving on a mountain highway at 70 mph, when the truck self applied the brakes and we were nearly rear ended by another truck, there was no vehicle directly in front of our car to cause this to happen. I took the truck to the dealer as soon as we returned home, they found nothing wrong! a few weeks later this happened again for no apparent reason however thus time no other car was near enough to cause a incident. I returned the truck to Honda service after 1st calling Honda USA and having them document our concerns. Once more they could offer no reason or correction. This continues to randomly happen to thus day. I have 2 service documents to back up both times I returned to the dealer.

On 12 or more occasions the truck braked for no reason. Nothing in front of me. It's been to the shop 3 times for this. I have done research on this problem and found out Honda has several law suites on their cmbs system going back to 2015. So why have they been aloud to keep this system in cars and trucks. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
