I WAS ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND POWER, MADE A HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL WITH RECEIPT OF THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS/ALARMS: BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING, LOSS OF COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM, ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, HILL ASSIST PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD PROBLEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM TO NAME A FEW. THIS IS MORE THAN TROUBLESOME, THE GUY BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME AND HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. MORE RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WHEN I LOST MY HEADLIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS. IN ADDITION THE FOLLOWING ALARMS LOCKED IN BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, LANE KEEPING ASSIST PROBLEM, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE SYSTEM PROBLEM, AUTO HIGH BEAM SYSTEM PROBLEM. ITS ONE THING TO GET WARNINGS ITS ANOTHER TO LOOSE YOUR HEADLIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS ON A BUSY DARK HIGHWAY. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. HONDA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. HOW CAN THEY SELL A $30,000 + VEHICLE AND HAVE SAFETY ISSUES SUCH AS THESE? SOMEBODY NEEDS TO ACT QUICKLY BEFORE FOLKS ARE KILLED.

EVENTUALLY WE WERE TOTALLY UNABLE TO GET IT INTO PARK, AND THUS COULD NOT GET THE KEY TO THE COMPLETELY OFF POSITION AND REMOVE IT, SO THE BATTERY WOULD HAVE BEEN DRAINED IF WE LEFT IT THAT WAY. FORTUNATELY THE FINAL FAILURE WAS IN OUR OWN DRIVEWAY. QUICK RESEARCH ON THE WEB POINTED US TO THE PROBLEM MANY HAVE HAD WITH THE BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIFTER THAT MUST BE PRESSED TO GET IN AND OUT OF PARK. SURE ENOUGH, WE FOUND THE BUTTON WAS BROKEN INSIDE AND NOT FUNCTIONAL. THE BUTTON AND SPRING FELL OUT AS WE INSPECTED IT. THOUGH WE'RE GRATEFUL IT DIDN'T POP OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, IT SEEMS CLEAR THIS IS A FREQUENT FAILURE THAT CAN CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE AN OFFICIAL RECALL.

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.
