The automatic braking system engages when there is no imminent danger. Sometimes it occurs when the vehicle in front exits onto an off-ramp and slows down. Even though they are not in front of my car, the auto braking triggers. In other situations there has been no discernable reason for the brakes to trigger, creating a significant danger of being rear-ended by the car following me. In the latter case, it happens…

Lane departure and collision control often engage without cause. Twice i have been driving and the lane departure sensors go off and vehicle automatically brakes for no obvious reason. It appears that it may be falsely reading shadows or wet roadways. One incident was on a city street at about 40 mph. The other was on the interstate at around 70 mph.

I was driving to work on dry roads with light traffic due to it being spring break in atlanta. I was driving at 48 mph and suddenly it was as if someone had stomped on the brakes hard. The car slowed very quickly to 30 mph. A car that was following me at similar speed had to swerve to avoid running into the back of me. There was no car in front of me that could have triggered a breaking response and i did not…

Upon getting there all systems were lit up maintenance wise and smoke was coming out of the underside where the brakes are. The service advisor said when she went around the car that it was so hot it would have burned her. Service…

However this time the braking was so severe…

The collision mitigation braking system was activated when i drove over large metal panels that were placed on a city street in chicago. I have attached documentation. It happened twice in same spot, jan. 8 and jan. 10, both times i was accelerating to get onto the highway ramp, so the impact of the brakes locking up was extra severe. The dealer said he had two other people with same experience, but one going over…

While performing a straight, slow speed stop at red light in city traffic, in dry weather with no road debris, the brakes feel spongy, like they are not operating at full power, and is unable to stop the vehicle. Pressing harder on the brake petals causes a loud rumbling noise from the braking system that sounds like abs system engaging. The vehicle does come to a full stop, but a low rumbling noise continues while…

I really started thinking about an incident from two days ago, when i received a "vague" 2018 honda crv recall notice on my car for an a/c control unit replacement, etc. Today. That notice prompted me to begin searching online for anyone documenting "spontaneous braking." i did find several that would say exactly what i would have said in their place. In other words, braking hard enough to an abrupt stop that if…

At various speeds and different roads my car seems to brake for no reason no cars in front of me and no obstructions of radar or camera. The screen starts flashing brake brake brake and then proceeds to stop the vehicle, even on the middle of the freeway. Have been to the dealer multiple times and they claim there's nothing wrong with my car. This is obviously dangerous, and i fear for my own safety

The car has several electrical problems with the new safety features. On 3 occasions, the car has "hard braked" by itself for no apparent reason (no cars nearby). Also, the car "beeps" intermittently when it shouldn't. This indicates a problem also with safety features. The auto walk-away lock feature does not always work. The settings are for car to auto lock & it does sometimes & sometimes it does not! The mirrors…

Speed was 58 mph as i had merged over to the right to an exit lane. I did check online for any recalls for…

While driving monday, 08/27/18, my car abruptly applied the braking system. I was going about 35 mph in town driving, not the freeway. There was a car in front of me about 4 or so car lengths. There were cars to my right and the rear but none were so close that i was in danger of hitting them nor they hitting me. There was no audible or visual warning on the dash. There may have been some resistance with the…

The brakes failed when in reverse. The reverse sensors do not detect movement, the car does at intersections. A blue vertical line appears when the car is in reverse. The panel freezes...all this happened when the car was in motion.
