Vehicle speed control, Apr 19, 2023
The contact leased a 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds in a parking garage, the vehicle struck the curb and independently accelerated. The contact was unable to control the vehicle. The contact attempted to shift gear, but the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle then came to a stop, avoiding a crash. The contact restarted the vehicle and drove to his residence. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called an unknown local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to an auto body shop. The failure mileage was approximately 1,700. The VIN was not available.
Lane departure, Forward collision avoidance, Apr 12, 2023
My car will warn me of impeding collision when there is nothing in front of my car, it will brake randomly or tell me to brake at unnecessary times, it will move the steering wheel when it suspects I am departing a lane even though I am not departing a lane.
Exterior lighting, Apr 11, 2023
Both the left and right headlights are cracked. There is no reason for the headlights to be cracked, which is a safety hazard.

I was using cruise control on high speed road. I depressed brake and turned onto a slower road. I continued for about a hundred yards and when I tried to come to a full stop by depressing the brake the car seemed to be trying to accelerate and I was barely able to bring the car to a stop. As I stopped the engine cut off. A similar incident occurred the day before. I took car to dealer and after checking for two days they were unable to reproduce the problem.

The carplay keeps freezing, which causes a safety issue when attempting to fix the problem. For instance, the carplay froze while traveling long distances. I did not notice it stopped working and kept driving, assuming the exit was further away. Once I briefly looked again at the highway, I realized it was frozen, and I had to go to the shoulder of the road to restart the car play. I leased the car on 1/7/2023, and my carplay has frozen over seven times in 3 months. It causes a safety issue because I have to go on the shoulder of the highway, which leads to a random place (once in a hazardous area), and causes me to keep restarting the system and car.
Lane departure, Forward collision avoidance, Mar 23, 2023
About three weeks into car ownership while drivng on the highway during the day, I changed lanes and the brakes engaged suddenly for about 2 seconds. No one was behind me or in front of me. No cars or obstacles. I took it into the dealership the next day. They tested it and found nothing wrong. About a month later it happended again while driving on the highway with no cars or obsticals in front me. changing lanes and the car braked for a period of 1 second. It happened again about 10 minutes later but this time braked for 2 seconds and if someone was behind me, it may have casued an accident. Then a week later on the highway, it happened a third time taking an offramp. I took it to the dealership that day and they kept it overnight and found nothing wrong the next day. I am escalting it to the dealership management.
Lane departure, Forward collision avoidance, Mar 22, 2023
In more than a couple of instances the vehicle has miscalculated the need for emergency braking causing the vehicle to suddenly brake in traffic and also when the lane keeping assist system was activated, in which no braking was necessary and no vehicle or pedestrian was nearby at all. There has not been any accident as of yet, but the possibility of incident is there. This has been happening since the vehicle was acquired.

Forward collision avoidance, Dec 10, 2022
I purchased a new 2022 Honda Accord EX-L back in March. Twice I've had something happen while driving. Yesterday it was snowing quite hard and getting slick. So on the way home I was merging onto the freeway and gradually speeding up. Suddenly the car braked hard for about a second as if I was coming up on someone too fast. There was no one in front of me, and fortunately the person behind me wasn't close enough that I got rear ended. Obviously the radar sensor thought I was about to hit a car immediately in front of me--a car that wasn't there. I've been in touch with the dealer where I purchased the car. I see that there was a recall on the 2018-2019 Accords for this very thing. I seem to remember that the other time it happened it may have been raining, but I can't remember for sure. In that case the car didn't brake as hard as this time. This time it actually threw me forward, and fortunately my tires managed to grip the snowy pavement.

Lane departure, Forward collision avoidance, Sep 21, 2022
When driving down the highway with Lane keeping Assist, system gets confused. System tries to correct itself even though car is in the middle of the lane and eventually breaks while on the highway
Forward collision avoidance, Sep 14, 2022
The Collision Mitigation Braking System malfunctioned The Brake warning light appeared and the car started braking and the car started jerking..it is a safety risk ....no one was around but if there was a car in back of me there would have been a collision hazard. This happened twice I brought the car to the Dealership to be inspected They did an advanced diagnostic of the system and made sure no codes were stored in the PCM. I was told they could not find anything and they were working with Hondas Engineers about this problem. They said they could not release the vehicle until they had answer as it was a safety issue. Their conclusion was debris from he sensors...and it could happen again if a bug or rock it the sensor areas I also reported it to Honda Motor Co. case #13364245
Forward collision avoidance, Sep 9, 2022
Experienced very hard and rapid braking from the Collision Mitigation Braking System when no obstruction or collision was imminent. The dashboard indicated "BRAKING" at the time of the event, but there was otherwise no other warning or indication before the event happened. Issue has happened several times. Sometimes when drifting over a dashed line when merging onto a highway, but also happened this week when driving in a straight line while it was raining. All hard braking was when vehicle was over 50 MPH and on a highway.
Visibility/wiper, Aug 27, 2022
The front windshield of the vehicle keeps fogging up and obscuring visibility. I have the A\C to come on only on my feet and my windshield still fogs up. No matter how hot or cold
Power train, Electrical system, Aug 26, 2022
Was waiting at a red light and when the light turned green I started to accelerate. All of the sudden the car lost power and I had to pull over to the side of the road. The car won't move in drive or go into reverse. I was almost hit do to the fact the car lost power to the power train.
Forward collision avoidance, Aug 7, 2022
Car applies emergency braking with no imminent danger ahead. Very sudden, without warning, and very startling. Very dangerous especially with with cars following behind. Feature can be disabled but will automatically reenable when the car is restarted.
Wheels, Forward collision avoidance, Jul 29, 2022
Within 15k miles the cars wheel bearing completely went and needed to be replaced. The steering in my opinion hasn’t been the same since. I’ve had it in the shop 3-4 different times in relation to the wheels/steering. The car will also randomly brake as if it’s going to hit something when forward collision assistance is on. It’s nearly got me rear ended 3 times. The original dealership I took it too since I was out of town put that something was hit when in truth i never said that and it was actually the tow trucks wench that damaged the dust shield.
Forward collision avoidance, Jul 12, 2022
When I set my cruise control and drive in the middle lane, the car brakes automatically even though there is no car or any object in front of me. This can endanger traffic.
Lane departure, Forward collision avoidance, Jul 9, 2022
While driving on numerous occasions and my 2022 Honda Accord the automatic emergency braking is activated out of nowhere there will be either no cars ahead of me or cars in opposite lanes but nothing in mine. I've had this car for about 3 months an it has happened at least 4 times. No accidents have happened because of this however it easily could have resulted in one. Also I'm filling and complaining about the lane keeping assist. Multiple times ive be driving with the lane keeping assist on hands on the wheel and all of a sudden it'll try to jerk me off the road this is extremely dangerous. If I'd have been paying less attention I would have definitely ended up in a ditch or worse.

Car is only 5 months old and 1500 miles. All lights on dashboard are on. Check engine, check brake, check emissions, check collision mitigation, check ABS - literally all lights are on.

The car shuffles on the concrete highway and causes a safety issue, and we cannot drive safely in this new vehicle purchase. I contacted my dealer Smat Honda, and Honda.com within 3 days and told them that I cannot drive the car, and I want to return it. It’s a safety risk, and it causes vertigo for both me and my wife.
Suspension, Mar 9, 2022
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH on a mildly rough road, the vehicle wobbled significantly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact continued to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who test drove the vehicle on a smooth road and diagnosed that no issues were found. The dealer advised the contact that the issue was with the road where he had driven the vehicle; however, the contact had driven three other vehicles on the same mildly rough road surface and the vehicles did not experience the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring increasingly while driving. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 500. The VIN was not available.
Service brakes, Forward collision avoidance, Feb 25, 2022
I have a 2022 Honda Accord Sport. The automatic braking system activates at random times, even when nothing is around the car. I have almost been rear ended several times because of this issue.
Tires, Feb 25, 2022
I have a photo of my car when I bought it people commented that the tires looked low however no sensors were on within 3 days of me buying the car and with less than 200 miles my tire started leaking air and became flat I believe the pressure in the tires was low and no sensors ever came on and after my tires were fixed the ride seemed stiffer leading me to believe the tire pressure may have been low.
