On a cold day the vehicle's baking system failed. It was would not move more than 62MPH and would not function. When dealer was contacted no assistance was given until Honda Corporation got involved. The problem cleared up on its own and I was advised that it should be fine at this point.

Whenever it gets cold, the car will being to experience brake systems failure, it was suddenly only go 62MPH. On this particular occasion, the car died in the middle of the street, thus blocking the street and causing a police response. Contacted Honda Support and they advised it would be up to 2 hours to get it towed out of there. Police called their own tow truck, the tow trucks had issues with it not going into Transport Mode and stuck parking break. It was brought to the dealer for repair. I believe the car is not safe because there has been several failures of this nature during the cold and other general system failures that appear to be computer related. More than likely police information item is on file.
When I was backing out of a parking spot the rear collision detection went off without any obstructions behind me. Although I was safe this could of caused bigger issues.
While backing up the car will slam on the brakes for no reason. It has done this twice with nothing behind me. Scary when you think you have got something.

Took delivery of vehicle 11/19/24. Had the vehicle 10 days. Let another vehicle out of the driveway & upon pulling back in got "brake system failure" alert and the car would not stop rolling not matter how hard I hit the brake. I had to push the brake button. The "one pedal driving unavailable" alert also came on. Towed to dealership same day(11/29/24). They tell me it's a software update, but their system won't connect to the car because they need a software update. Finally get the vehicle back on 12/11/24. FOUR DAYS LATER & the same problem again. Brake system failure, one pedal driving & service stabilitrak alerts come on while going to leave my house. Towed again the next morning(12/16/24). Brake booster ordered 12/17 with no ETA. 2 days go by with no communication from them. I ask what's up. Still no ETA. I mention lawyer on Monday the 22nd & wow my part is there on Tuesday! Tells me car will be fixed by 12/27. That day comes only for them to tell me their system isn't working again to program the car. I file a case with Honda. I hear nothing from the dealership again until 1/8/25. I filed lemon law on 1/7. I hear nothing from service again until 1/13 just more excuses & about engineers coming to look at the car and ordering a new module. Get another message from them today that the car can be picked up(1/17/25). I cannot wait to get rid of this vehicle. I do not feel safe driving it anymore especially with 2 children. Luckily I was not on a highway or far from home when these brake failures occurred.
My brakes were mushy when braking. Warning notices on the dash for servicing brakes and other related brake systems came up. At one point I couldn't come to a full stop. Issue first noticed 9/26/24. Dropped the car off at the dealer 10/8/24 and it sat for four months waiting the brake master cylinder. Picked up on 1/9/25. So far…

My brakes were mushy when braking. Warning notices on the dash for servicing brakes and other related brake systems came up. At one point I couldn't come to a full stop. Issue first noticed 9/26/24. Dropped the car off at the dealer 10/8/24 and it sat for four months waiting the brake master cylinder. Picked up on 1/9/25. So far the brakes are working fine. I am now noticing a clicking sound coming from the front end when steering.
Brake system failure happened the day after I bought the vehicle and the dealer found no issues or errors than another brake failure occurred in one week. This could have caused a major accident to a point where my safety is in fear

When turning the vehicle on, it sometimes displays an error in the instrument panel of the”Brake system failure 43 MPH Top Speed” When this error is present, the vehicle has almost no braking capability. One pedal braking is also disabled when this happens. So the only way to stop the car is to mash the brake pedal to the floor like your life depends on it. Turning the vehicle off for 5 minutes and turning it back on seems to clear the issue.
Brakes activated in an unwarranted situation. Suddenly stopping in the middle of traffic.
Sensors cause unnecessary braking when going in reverse. Happen in rainy conditions.
