THIS PAST SUMMER, I WAS DRIVING BY MYSELF WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER (THE SCREEN THAT CONTROLS EVERYTHING AND IS AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL) STARTED BEEPING UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE SCREEN'S BRIGHTNESS SETTING STARTED GOING FROM FULL BRIGHTNESS TO FULL DARKNESS. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. I WAS TERRIFIED AND ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT, REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I BECAME VERY DISTRACTED AND STARTLED. I WASN'T SURE IF THE CAR COMPUTER OR BATTERY WAS OVER HEATING, I WASN'T SURE IF I SHOULD PULL OVER ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP...IT WAS TERRIBLE. I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT TO STOP. NOTHING WOULD DO IT. LUCKILY, I WAS A FEW MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY IN A PANIC AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS GONE. I CHALKED THIS UP TO MAYBE A ONE TIME COMPUTER GLITCH AND LET IT GO. TWO DAYS LATER ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS CONTINUED MANY MORE TIMES RANDOMLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR EXPLANATION. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OR WARNING IN THE MAIL. I WISH MY STORY ENDED THERE, BUT IT DOESN'T. THE RANDOM OBNOXIOUS BEEPING AND FLASHING EVENTUALLY STOPPED. HOWEVER, TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT AND NOTICED I COULD BARELY SEE THE LINES ON THE ROAD. I ALMOST HIT A DEER. CONFUSED, I REALIZED THE BRIGHTNESS WAS TURNED ALL THE WAY UP ON THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER AND ON THE SCREEN DIRECTLY BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE BRIGHTNESS DOWN, BUT QUICKLY REALIZED THE SCREENS WERE FROZEN ON THE HIGHEST BRIGHTNESS SETTING. EVEN WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE (-) SYMBOL TO TURN IT DOWN, IT WOULD SCALE DOWN TO THE LOWEST SETTING, YET REMAIN ON FULL BRIGHTNESS. HONDA TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. TONIGHT, I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE THEM UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO MORTIFIED. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. I HAVE VIDEOS.

WITHOUT ANY REASON THE AUTOBRAKING/COLLISION SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED TWICE WHEN NO CARS OR ANIMALS ON THE ROAD ONE TIME GOING 55MPH AND ANOTHER TIME GOING APPROX. 40MPG. IN ADDITION THE DISPLAY SCREEN (RADIO ETC.) DOES NOT DIM. IT STAYS FULL BRIGHTNESS EVEN WITH ADJUSTING IT. HONDA HAD TO FIX WHEN VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW AFTER I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THEM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. THE SCREEN BLINDS ME AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT IS VERY BRIGHT SO YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE THE ROAD. THIS STAYS BRIGHT STOPPED OR MOVING. LASTLY, NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT AUTO HIGH BEAMS ALSO HAD AN ERROR WHILE DRIVING.

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.

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.
