Description of the problem | On a total of 6 occasions during the first 4500 miles of using my new car, the brake alert sign activated without reason for provocation, i. E., no other cars nearby, nothing in roadway. Four occurred while doing 65 mph on interstate. The last 2 occasions were startling as the brakes were triggered, causing the car to fishtail and swerve left momentarily as if attempting to awaken a driver falling asleep. On those occasions i was doing about 50-55 mph on a highway with other cars on the road but not close enough to need to brake. One time i was taking an exit to get on another highway. The other time i was going through a construction zone but there were no circumstances that would have caused the need to brake. I took the car to the honda dealership immediately after second occurrence and left for 24+ hours. They acted as iff that couldn't have happened unless i were too close to something -- they'd never heard of the problem. They test drove for 13 miles, and the problem did not occur for them. Nothing problematic showed up on diagnostics. Nothing was done to correct the situation. I disabled the collision mitigation system after leaving the dealership. |
