Description of the problem | The anti-collision automatic braking system incorrectly engaged when approaching a flat metal plate in the parking lot of a shopping center. The vehicle was moving at approx. 5-10 mph when it suddenly started beeping, and flashing the "brake" warning alert on the driver's dashboard console. I was driving and, not seeing any people or approaching vehicles or anything else ahead of me, didn't know why the automatic braking was flashing a warning. Before i had a chance to "gently" brake to see what the situation was, suddenly the automatic braking system "violently" engaged, bringing the vehicle to an immediate stop just before the metal plate. Please see the attached photograph of the metal plate that i took several minutes later. The brakes did not engage when going back over the plate in the opposite direction, or when attempting to duplicate the incident. The incident happened on march 25, 2018 at approximately 4:45 pm arizona time. I called the honda dealer the next day to report the incident. No service manager was available to speak with me, and the receptionist said that she would leave a message with one of them. I have yet to be called back, 4 weeks later. I want the honda dealer to read the codes from the onboard computer system(s) to 1) verify that the automatic braking system engaged, and 2) see if there is any supporting data for why the system incorrectly engaged. More importantly, i want to report this incident to the nhtsa. Doing an internet search turned up several other public reports on websites of similar incidents. A false positive for an impending collision was determined by the vehicle's "smart system" algorithms, which then triggered a physical reaction (automatic involuntary braking). Fortunately the vehicle was moving at only 5-10 mph, rather than 45 mph on a city road or 65 mph on a highway. |
