Description of the problem	When a car has air bags you never know if they work unless you have a crash. With fcw, if you drive safely the alarm should never go off. With our car the fcw alarm rarely sounds but sometimes it will if you were going about 25 mph or less and a car close ahead would be stopping or turning right. Most times our fcw would not sound but sometimes you got false signals and you wondered why. After two dealer visits and one for 3 1/2 days there has been no change except now we do not get false signals. The honda literature says of fcw ".. Can sense the presence of vehicles in front of you and issues alerts if it calculates you are at risk of a collision.." that is why we bought the car and what we expect. After the second dealer visit and there was no change, the dealer service manager and i drove our vehicle and at times dangerously close to a vehicle ahead including large trucks and the fcw alarm did not sound. We tried a very similar new car off the lot like mine and drove it the same way. The fcw did not work as expected. Per a sheet the dealer gave me for fcw, it states that it uses radar with a range of up to 393 ft. If a car is going up to 75 mph with a car length (20') for every 10 mph fcw should sound the alarm up to 150' and going faster than the car ahead. Ours will not do that at any speed below 75 and getting too close going faster than the one ahead until going about 25 or under then not always. I say our fcw does not work. When discussing this with the dealer and a factory rep the service manager now says "it is your perception fcw does not work." i say fcw does not work consistently and at higher speeds and buyers are being deceived. With self driving cars and acc is should be possible for honda to fix or replace our fcw so that it does work and purported. There should be a recall to warn others and fix it. I welcome inspectors to test our fcw system.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
