Description of the problem | I was driving with my wife as a passenger on a 4-lane highway (2 lanes in each direction). Traffic was light. We were travelling at about 45mph in the right hand lane about 500-feet from an intersection when i signaled to change lanes into the left lane as i would be making a left turn at the intersection. As we were midway into the lane change, our automatic collision avoidance warning flashed up on the instrument panel, beeped the alarm, and immediately (and unexpectedly) applied the brakes! The car behind us just missed plowing into the back of us because of the sudden braking for no reasons. The weather was good and just a bit cloudy, so weather had no bearing in this, and there was no traffic or obstacles near or in front of us to cause a false collision impression on the sensors. This has happened to us several times before and we did notify our honda dealer and they said that this happens sometimes, especially in heavy rains when the sensors "see" a heavy rain area as an object. On two prior occasions when this happened, again in clear weather and no objects around, we were almost struck by a vehicle behind us. This is scarey, and i am glad i pay close attention to my driving as if i did not, this safety defect would kill us. |
