    Foward collision avoidance - when driving in normal condition, the vehicle will abruptly apply brake by itself activating the forward collision avoidance system. The "brake" warning comes-up in the driver's dashboard to provide a visual warning. This happens even if there were no vehicle in-front and anticipated frontal collision. This abrupt and random braking can cause a rear-end collision.

    For the third time, since buying the car new, all the warning lights came on, and all safety systems shut down. This time power steering was also lost which could've caused a crash. I believe this is due to rodent damage again. Honda sells rodent tape and i've used it but can't tell where the rodents will eat. I belive this is due to the soy-based insulation and other parts in the car as none of my other vehicles…
