| Description of the problem | Returning to maryland from indiana in several locations along i-70, i-79, i-68 auto braking engaged for no reason at all. Road crews plow with blade slightly above pavement possibly avoiding damage to rumble strip so we can't see lane divider lines or edge of road solid line when accidently touch the rumble strip brakes engage immediately when beeps alone should suffice. Other times it appeared the system thought we were about to have a head on collision and again braked suddenly and often. We think the headlights of cars way off in the distance where trees near them created a kind of strobe effect fooled the sensors where ever they are. I had to cancel all safety systems to avoid more problems like this. Solution recommended: require honda to allow us to turn off auto braking in bad weather so sensors don't cause panic to drivers not understanding what's happening. When roads are slick as ours were you really don't want vehicles sliding out of control because of a system intended to keep us safe. I can tell you drivers around us thought we were intentionally trying to cause mischief and i'm certain the only reason we did not have an accidental is because i put blizzac snow tires on my 2018 crv touring and kept my thumb over the cancel button so i could recover quickly but eventually had to disable all that because it happened too often. I get cramps in my leg when i can't use cruise control and i paid a lot of money so i would be able to use adaptive cruise and other safety systems that simply made this car more dangerous. I'm angry, frustrated and want something done about this!!! Yes roads were sloppy, slick and traveling below speed limit of 70 because of conditions. Only when we got to maryland did conditions improve. Had to drive 1/3 of our 550 mile trip with these problems happening disengaging entirely after hagaarstown md. Can't trust it. |
