| Description of the problem | Yesterday, while driving at 68mph, with no vehicles directly in front of me or beside me, and no other obstructions in the roadway at all, the vehicle self-applied the brakes firmly. This wasn't a gradual slow down, it was immediate and thankfully the large bobtail truck behind had an attentive driver, otherwise i would have been rear-ended and the results would not have been positive. This has happened at least 3 other times, but at slower speeds. Again, there was nothing in front of the cr-v... Except air and concrete. This event got my attention and this is a very serious issue. I called honda of tomball and explained what happened. They hadn't heard of this issue, but aside from that, honda motor company is aware. The cr-v is there for diagnosis and nothing against honda of tomball, as they are great, but there is no solution. Apparently, honda hasn't even sent this down to the dealers? We purchased 2 honda vehicles a month apart, due to their advertised reliability and safety ratings. We absolutely want the added electronic safety features, as they are designed to minimize accidents and injury. This obvious defect in the honda sensing is going to kill someone if admission to the issue isn't stated and a real resolution isn't presented by honda. It was almost me yesterday. This is in no way an exaggeration. Honda, you have a problem. |
