THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF COMPLAINT 11307119 IN WHICH I HAD TO TOW CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. I RECEIVED A CALL AFTER CHRISTMAS THAT MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICKUP AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT IT WAS OUT OF GAS.

HE GOT A TECHNICIAN AND HOOKED UP A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL BUT SAID HE SAW NO CODES, SO HE GOT A COMPUTER AND HOOKED IT UP AND SAID ALL HE SAW WAS AN EVAP CODE, BUT ALL THE WARNINGS WERE ON DISPLAY. I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE CAR SO THEY COULD CHECK FURTHER. I LEFT IN THE LOANER. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THEY WOULD NEED TO TEAR THE ENGINE DOWN TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND I WOULD NEED TO APPROVE THE WORK AND AGREE TO PAY IF IT WERE DEEMED NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I AGREED. I WAS LATER CALLED AND TOLD IT NEEDED TO HAVE THE INJECTORS REPLACED AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND THE COST WOULD BE $1440.

LATER THAT DAY I CALLED AND WAS TOLD I COULD PICK UP THE CAR, I WENT TO GET THE CAR AND WAS TOLD IT HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND A NOTE WAS ON SERVICE RECORD THAT THE CUSTOMER HAD DECLINED TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED. I WAS VERY CONFUSED AND UPSET. I COMMENTED ABOUT MY DISPLEASURE AND CONCERN FOR SAFETY, I WAS TOLD I RECEIVED GREAT SERVICE ESPECIALLY SINCE I DID NOT PURCHASE CARE THERE. I WAS ALSO CHARGED $300 PLUS AND THE CAR WAS NOT REPAIRED AND UNSAFE. I ASKED TO SEE SERVICE MANAGER BUT WAS TOLD HE WAS NOT IN. I PAID THE BILL AND LEFT. BEFORE I GOT HOME THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AGAIN AND ALL THE WARNINGS CAME UP ALSO.

ON THREE RECENT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS INDICATED MULTIPLE SYSTEM FAILURES INCLUDING A BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 25-35 MPH EACH TIME GOING STRAIGHT. ON ALL INSTANCES, THE CAR SEEMED FINE DESPITE THE WARNINGS. IN THE FIRST TWO INSTANCES THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OUT AFTER ABOUT ONE MINUTE AND IN THE THIRD INSTANCE IT STAYED ON EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF ALTHOUGH IT DID GO OUT AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF OVERNIGHT AND RESTARTED. IT IS VERY CONCERNING WHEN ANY WARNING GOES OFF BUT ESPECIALLY SO WHEN IT INDICATES A BRAKE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WAS OF NO HELP STATING THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS IT WAS HAPPENING WHEN THEY LOOKED AT IT. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BUT THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS ONLINE AND I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Forward Collision Avoidance; Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking; Forward Collision Avoidance: Sensing System: Camera; Forward Collision Avoidance: Sensing System: Radar; Forward Collision Avoidance:software

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.

To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,081 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in the subject vehicles.  A total of 24 complaints alleged a crash and 42 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 84 injury incidents and 40 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis (EA24002) to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations.  Further the scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.
