Description of the problem | Vehicle has an issue with activating its collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) for no reason resulting in unnecessary slamming of the brakes. This has occurred at least five times over the last five months. It was first noted at around 12,000 miles and has happened at least 4 more times (we are now at 20,000 miles). In some instances, the vehicle was travelling at over 60 mph on the highway and slammed on its brakes on its own. There were no objects in front of the vehicle and we were following a straight lane. Luckily, rear-ending accidents that could have resulted from this have been narrowly avoided. There was an instance in which the vehicle braked and an 18-wheeler behind it had to slam on its brakes and was swerving uncontrollably for at least 300 feet. A lemon claim has been filed, but honda is refusing to acknowledge the issue because it has yet to happen while their technicians drive it. Please note that we have put 20,000 miles on this vehicle for it to happen 5 times (an average of once every 4,000). Technicians are extremely unlikely to experience the issue while test driving the vehicle 10 miles. This issue jeopardizes the safety of all passengers of this vehicle. We truly hope honda sheds light on this issue to prevent unnecessary loss of life. |
