| Description of the problem | The collision mitigation braking system was activated when i drove over large metal panels that were placed on a city street in chicago. I have attached documentation. It happened twice in same spot, jan. 8 and jan. 10, both times i was accelerating to get onto the highway ramp, so the impact of the brakes locking up was extra severe. The dealer said he had two other people with same experience, but one going over railroad tracks. The dealer and honda told me the only way to turn off this system is to manually do it every time you start your car. Thank god i did not have somebody close behind me when it happened, or i would have been rear ended. The regional case manager did not return my calls for a week, and when he did he said the car was operating properly. I told him in the city of chicago(where i work) i drive over about 15-20 metal panels like that every day, going each way. I am afraid i will forget to turn the system off one of these times, and if i do and i get rear ended, i will hold honda responsible. I was completely dissatified with the letter they sent me,not adressing my complaint at all, the the case manager was very rude on the phone. I asked if my honda dealer could disable this feature, and was told no. There have to be many other consurmers out there that live in cities that have this same problem. There is no way to adjust the sensitivity to large metal objects. The way honda handled my complaint is totally unacceptable to me. **i also have photos of the exact spot that this occurred, if needed, i can upload the photos |
