Description of the problem | My 2019 honda accord, purchased new july 25, has 2365 miles on it. Twice very early in my ownership of the car the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) activated with no cars in front of me. I forgot about the problem as it did not repeat itself until three incidents 9/11 and 9/12 2019. Cmbs activated yesterday evening (9/11/19). It happened again 9/12 my drive to chicago on i-294. I called honda of racine right after that happened and was told to bring the car in for service. He told me to turn the system off. It happened again on my drive home from chicago. I searched the problem on-line and found numerous similar complaints on: https://www. Carcomplaints. Com/honda/accord/2018/brakes/service_brakes. Shtml many of the complainants who have brought their car into honda dealers for service report having no satisfaction. What is also troubling is that the system did not work today when there was need for an emergency stop when the car in front of me braked and swerved left (in a narrow construction zone) to avoid hitting the car that had to stop suddenly in front of him when a tow truck started backing up on the road to service a car on the side of the road. I braked quickly and the car behind me swerved to avoid hitting me. The cmbs did not activate in this situation. 9/13: waiting at honda for diagnostics. I have been shown a may 2019 honda service bulletin which acknowledges this issue. I see numerous nhtsa owner reports of identical problems. |
