| Description of the problem | We have a 2018 honda cr-v touring and have recently had a critical problem with its collision mitigation braking system. On two occasions, the car has braked when nothing was in front of it. Both instances happened at dusk/evening; however, the most recent experience was the most severe. I was accelerating on a road and going about 45 mph when i passed under an overpass/bridge. Suddenly, as i was accelerating, the car braked and slowed from 45-50 mph down to 15-20 mph in about five seconds. The severe braking caused everything to fly off my seats, my seatbelt to lock, and gave me whiplash. Luckily, there were no other cars around me; otherwise, i am sure i would have been rear-ended. I brought the car to my honda dealer and they said that the sensor may have detected the shadow from the bridge or perhaps rain drops on the road. I asked if this was a known issue and they said other dealers have reported similar cases. The only solution is to disengage the system every time we start the car. Currently, honda does not offer another solution. |
