criticalFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
CrashFiled: Mar 2026

Your vehicle's automatic emergency braking system activated without warning while you were driving, causing your car to come to a complete stop in traffic. This resulted in the vehicle behind you colliding with your car. No dashboard warnings appeared before the system engaged. You've since disabled the forward collision safety feature out of concern the problem might happen again.

While approaching a red light on a busy road the forward alert triggered and auto breaking was engaged with no vehicle in front. Almost resulted in an accident. Had the light not been red other cars near me may not have been breaking.

On multiple occasions the forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking have engaged when there is nothing in the lane. On one occasion, the system engaged brakes very hard - which I can only assume was triggered by a pedestrian on a nearby sidewalk. I was traveling 30mph and the vehicle came to an abrubt stop.

Vehicle abbrupted stops when driving with the front collision on. I drive up the same hill everyday and when slightly turning left along a curve going up hill, and if there is a parked car present on the right side of the road, the car will abruptedly stop. If I slow down to less than 20 MPH, the car won't stop, but doesn't seem like it should happen at normal driving speeds.

The automatic emergency front collision warning system is extremely sensitive and will warn you to break incessantly. Sometimes it is because the sun is shining brightly on it sometimes it’s when a car is parked and you are passing it. This poses a safety threat because I could break unexpectedly and cause someone to rear end me The incessant warning light is extremely

When I reverse, from leaving home at our garage, multiple times the car will apply the brakes. It thinks there is something or someone behind me and applies the brakes to avoid hitting something. I ended up turning off the rear braking setting.

Automatic emergency braking triggers repeatedly when no hazard is present. The system triggered emergency braking and a close-call accident at an intersection. Cars were parked along the side of the road, presumably tricking the system into thinking there was a hazard.

Your car's safety systems are malfunctioning. The forward collision warning system is displaying an unavailable message, adaptive cruise control keeps dropping offline, and the rear parking safety system is applying the brakes suddenly even when there's nothing behind you—even when you've set it to alert-only mode. This has been happening for the past 5-6 months. The issue likely involves a software glitch or sensor malfunction that will need to be diagnosed and reprogrammed or replaced by a Honda dealer.

Adaptive Cruise Control works when you set the preferred speed but won't slow down when a vehicle is in front. Tried changing gap adjustments but still not slowing down when there's a vehicle in front. It was completely working while I was driving it in the morning then in the afternoon I almost hit the vehicle in front of me due to my vehicle not slowing down.

I got several false positives from the radar or perhaps optical system that caused the vehicle to spontaneously and suddenly brake at freeway speeds. I believe it was the optical system that was at fault due to the shifting lines on the freeway but I can't be sure. I got the radio update service bulletin work completed by the dealership and it seems to have abated.

When backing up with the auto braking on, the car will sometimes brake extremely hard when there is nothing behind me. Sometimes it almost won't let me backup at all as it keeps thinking there is something back there.

Emergency braking in reverse will randomly engage while in reverse when there is no object that is potentially obstructing reverse. This is a safety issue as when it engages, other vehicles around may not be able to react as quickly and cause an impact. This has not been reported to manufacturer, it has been reported to dealer.

Automatic Emergency Braking often triggers for no reason when backing up this vehicle. This is a safety issue 1) Random stops in a parking lot are disorienting to both the driver of the car and the drivers around them 2) The AEB system creates a very hard stop.

Frequently engages erroneously due to heavy rain or pavement markings. Last week when it was raining heavily, AEB engaged at least 10 times while I tried to back out of my garage (there was nothing/nobody in my driveway). And this past Friday it engaged 3 times on different colorings for patched pavement cracks in a parking lot while backing out of a parking spot.
