Backup camera is showing rainbow of colors.
Forward collision avoidance, Jul 2, 2024
My accord seems to trigger automatic brakes for no reason. I have noticed it happening primarily on freeways and expressways (while traveling at high speed)which is extremely dangerous. There has been only a single instance of this behavior while driving on a 35 MPH posted speed corridor. My latest experience was on 6/29/24 around 10:30 am. Contacted the dealership with the issue. They said they will call back, but haven't heard from them yet.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 2, 2024
There has been no incident. Honda is not repairing the recall in a timely manner. I am unable to sell my car due to this recall. It has been 8 months. Do they have an unlimited time?
Air bags, Seats, Jul 2, 2024
Passenger air bag sensors are faulty. The passenger air bag "off" warning light stays on even when the seat is empty which indicates that the passenger air bag system is compromised. The vehicle is available for inspection.

Faulty rear view backup camera. The camera is transmitting images with bright pink and green blotches which makes it difficult to see what is behind the car. The distortion is apparent to anyone looking at the camera image. I first noticed the issue on 6/29/2024. The car is available for inspection upon request.
Forward collision avoidance, Jun 27, 2024
I was driving about 35 mph with nothing in front of me and suddenly, the “brake” warning came on and the automatic brake engaged. There was a car behind me, but thankfully far enough behind that a rear end collision did not occur. I’m very concerned. I think the system is called CMBS (collision mitigation braking system). I would just as soon not have to have it!
Structure, Jun 26, 2024
Paint on top of the hood is peeling and causing rust. Upon talking to 2 different paint and body shops, I was informed they have had other Honda owners with pearl white paint come in for same issue. I took my car to local Honda dealership and they informed me there is no recall on this paint so they can’t do anything. However, when doing google search there have been numerous issues with Honda paint. As someone who paid thousands of dollars for car, getting maintenance only at Honda dealerships and not getting in any accidents, now I have problem that costs thousands of dollars and there’s no responsibility from manufacturer. Someone needs to address this issue
