I BOUGHT A NEW 2017 HONDA CRV IN MAY, 2017. IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED I WASN'T GETTING GOOD MILEAGE AND STARTED CHECKING IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. I'M ONLY GETTING BETWEEN 16-18 MPG (I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS) AND THE DASH SAYS I'M GETTING 23 (WHICH I'M NOT). THE DEALER NOR NATIONAL HONDA WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SAY THEY DON'T FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO MY BRAKES MAKE NOISES AND I WAS TOLD THE CALIPERS JUST OFF AND IT DOESN'T POSE A SAFETY HAZARD. I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SELL IT WITH THAT KIND OF NOISE. NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I TRIED TO GO ON THE BBB WEB-SITE BUT IT SAYS THE HONDA HAS TO BE 2012 OR OLDER. WHY? I FEEL STUCK AND WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE MEDIA IF I CAN'T GET THIS RESOLVED. THE DEALER SHOULD BY MY CAR BACK UNDER THE LEMON LAW. SOMEONE HELP ME.

JUST AS WE WERE APPROACHING THE 4000FT DESCENT TO THE VALLEY FLOOR, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP WITH MULTIPLE WARNINGS, THE FIRST BEING MAJOR BRAKE FAILURE. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE WHICH WAS FIRST SOFT, THEN IMMEDIATELY BECAME HARD TO PRESS DOWN TO STOP THE CAR. A SMALL TURNOFF ALLOWED ME TO GET THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED. MULTIPLE WARNINGS CONTINUED ACROSS THE SCREEN. SHUT OFF THE CAR TO RESTART THE COMPUTER, THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. SAME MESSAGES. CHECKED EXTERIOR OF CAR, TIRES, OIL. ALL WELL. TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS TESTED FOR EBB AND ESB FAILURE, ECU FAILURE. ELECTRONIC BOOSTER WAS REPLACED AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM BLED. HONDA HAD THE CAR FOR 7 DAYS. YESTERDAY WE PICKED UP THE CR-V, HAVING BEEN TOLD THAT IT WAS REPAIRED AND READY TO GO. WE DROVE AWAY, BUT LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE DEALER/SERVICE LOCATION, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED - INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP MULTIPLE WARNINGS WITH BRAKE THE MOST EMPHATIC. I WAS NOT BRAKING WHEN THE WARNING CAME, BUT IMMEDIATELY BRAKED TO GET OFF THE ROAD. AGAIN THE GRINDING SOUNDS AND DIFFICULTY PRESSING HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE CAR. CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND WE DO NOT TRUST ANY REPAIR AT THIS POINT. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED ON THE MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY AND ARE NOT WILLING TO RISK OUR LIVES AGAIN.

VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH ACTIVATING ITS COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) FOR NO REASON RESULTING IN UNNECESSARY SLAMMING OF THE BRAKES. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST FIVE TIMES OVER THE LAST FIVE MONTHS. IT WAS FIRST NOTED AT AROUND 12,000 MILES AND HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 MORE TIMES (WE ARE NOW AT 20,000 MILES). IN SOME INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT OVER 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND SLAMMED ON ITS BRAKES ON ITS OWN. THERE WERE NO OBJECTS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND WE WERE FOLLOWING A STRAIGHT LANE. LUCKILY, REAR-ENDING ACCIDENTS THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS HAVE BEEN NARROWLY AVOIDED. THERE WAS AN INSTANCE IN WHICH THE VEHICLE BRAKED AND AN 18-WHEELER BEHIND IT HAD TO SLAM ON ITS BRAKES AND WAS SWERVING UNCONTROLLABLY FOR AT LEAST 300 FEET. A LEMON CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED, BUT HONDA IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAS YET TO HAPPEN WHILE THEIR TECHNICIANS DRIVE IT. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE PUT 20,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE FOR IT TO HAPPEN 5 TIMES (AN AVERAGE OF ONCE EVERY 4,000). TECHNICIANS ARE EXTREMELY UNLIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE 10 MILES. THIS ISSUE JEOPARDIZES THE SAFETY OF ALL PASSENGERS OF THIS VEHICLE. WE TRULY HOPE HONDA SHEDS LIGHT ON THIS ISSUE TO PREVENT UNNECESSARY LOSS OF LIFE.

PROBLEM: THE 'APPLY 'BRAKES' LIGHT' APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY AND THE BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED, DRAGGING THE CAR FROM 65MPH TO 25 IN ABOUT 80 FEET. THE SUV BEHIND ME NARROWLY AVOIDED HITTING ME. THERE WERE NO CARS IN MY LANE AHEAD OF ME FOR EST. 7 CAR LENGTHS. NARRATIVE: CLEAR DAY ON THE CAPITAL BELTWAY, 495, INNER LOOP IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CHAIN BRIDGE ROAD EXIT IN VIRGINIA. I HAD ACCELERATED FROM 30MPH TO MERGE FROM THE HIGHWAY 7/LEESBURG PIKE ON-RAMP ONTO THE 495 INNER LOOP INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS FIRST LANE FROM THE RIGHT IS A 'FILTER' LANE WHERE ON-BOARDING CARS AND EXITING CARS MUST FILTER ONTO THE FREEWAY OR AN EXIT IN ABOUT .2 MILES. AFTER ENTERING THE HEAVILY TRAFFICKED FILTER LANE I CLEARED AND ENTERED THE SECOND FREEWAY LANE, MAKING 65MPH TO MATCH TRAFFIC. NOBODY WAS TURNING INTO MY LANE. MY LANE (SECOND FROM RIGHT) WAS CLEAR AN ESTIMATED 7 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF MY CAR, BUT LANES AROUND ME WERE HEAVILY TRAVELLED DUE TO SEVERAL EXITS IN A SHORT DISTANCE. (TYSONS CORNER/HIGHWAY 7, CHAIN BRIDGE RD (VA 123), DULLES TOLL ROAD (VA 267). AFTER PASSING THE CHAIN BRIDGE EXIT, BEFORE ENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL, I WAS JERKED FORWARD INTO THE SHOULDER RESTRAINT AS THE BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED: THE 'BRAKE' INDICATOR SHOWING ON THE DASH. I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND NOTED A SUV HEAVILY BRAKING TO AVOID IMPACT. I HIT THE ACCELERATOR HARD TO INCREASE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN IT AND ME, MAKING THE BRAKES DISENGAGE. SPECULATION: THIS MODEL FREQUENTLY LOCKS ONTO CARS LEAVING MY LANE AHEAD OF MY COURSE OF TRAVEL AND HEAVILY DEACCELERATES AS THEY SLOW TO EXIT SPEED. MANY CARS WERE JOCKEYING TO EXIT IN THE LANE TO MY RIGHT. MY SUSPICION IS THE ACTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS TRAKING SOME CAR IN THE RIGHT FILTER LANE AND APPLIED BRAKES TO MATCH THEIR EXIT SPEED, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN AROUND 20MPH.

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 1,294 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.
