Electrical system, Forward collision avoidance, Jun 14, 2024
I was getting on a freeway, via an on ramp, I was the first vehicle from the light, so there were no vehicles ahead of me. As I was about to merge onto the right lane of the freeway, my vehicle slams to a stop. The BRAKE icon appeared on the control panel, and worried about the vehicle behind me maybe hitting me, I attempt to pull to the right to get off the road. Luckily there were no vehicles on the freeway at the time close to me, and the vehicle that was behind me when I got onto the freeway on ramp, was far enough back. My vehicle only braked for a moment, but it was a hard jerk. It all lasted seconds and I managed to merge onto the freeway and continue on my way. I have not told the dealership yet, where I purchased the vehicle from, but I'm going in for regular service in a week and will address it then. There have been other times the BRAKE icon shows up, but the vehicle had never stopped on it's own before. That was a first. I have, however, noticed NUMEROUS electrical related problems with this vehicle. Well, I'm assuming it's all electrical (braking, speed, AC/heating, backup camera not working due to outside temp). I purchased it new, I'm the sole owner, it has just over 8K miles on it. I didn't bring it up with the dealer because I just chalked it up to numerous other problems I have with this vehicle, and figured I had a lemon, so it's too late to do anything about it. And most of the time if the dealer can't replicate the problem, they feel like it doesn't exist, they won't do anything anyway. I have since disabled any driver assist abilities in the vehicle. I have no issues with anyone inspecting my vehicle.

Potential for engine misfire
Forward collision avoidance, May 8, 2024
automatic emergency braking system slammed on the brakes with no apparent obstruction in the way. I turned a corner, started to accelerate, brakes slammed on and light on dashboard came on. only took a couple of seconds
Electrical system, Service brakes, Apr 29, 2024
Suddenly all errors are alerting on the car after multiple trips to the mechanic we are finding that there is electronic computer errors with the braking system.. this is causing everything to go alert in the entire car. It is believed that the problem will cause brake lock up and safety issues. I would like an investigation into this vehicle. I tried to take it to the dealer, who told me they were far too busy to look at it but if I leave it there I could rent a vehicle from them until they get around to it. I went to another mechanic and again this is what we discovered. The car has computer glitches.
Forward collision avoidance, Apr 25, 2024
Several times while driving the automatic breaking function activated while there was no vehicle or obstacles in front of me. This caused the vehicle behind me to swerve in order to avoid hitting me.

Re: Distracted Driving Awareness Month To whom it may concern: A little over a year ago, my 17-year-old car “gave up the ghost” and I bought a new Honda Accord. With this new car came a host of new-to-me technology. One item, that screen in the middle of my dashboard, is a contributing factor to the Distracted Driving Problem. Push buttons on radios were a great safety feature when first introduced. They allow drivers to change stations while driving without fiddling with the dial. Now, however, a driver takes their eyes off the road to look at the screen and select a channel or band or podcast, etc. Driving my old car, when I needed directions, I’d ask Siri to give me directions to a particular place, and she would talk me through it, giving me plenty of notice regarding when to turn, which exit to use, etc. All the while I kept my eyes on the road. Regretfully now, Siri also shows me a map on the screen indicating when to turn. Yes, she still talks to me, but there is this great temptation to take my eyes off the road and see where I’m going. During this Distracted Driving Awareness Month, I encourage you to reflect on the unnecessary road hazard that exist in the middle of the dashboard and eliminate those screens in future cars. We drove very well without them for over a century. And we don’t need another reason to take our eyes off the road.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Apr 21, 2024
The whole switch for the e brake and park hold fell into the console. I was driving normally one day and heard a noise, when I looked down I noticed it had fallen. I have only used this switch about 2 times since purchasing this car brand new in 2022.

Brake start by itself and cause despeed
Electrical system, Forward collision avoidance, Apr 18, 2024
On multiple occasions, my 2022 Honda Accord has used the automatic braking system against my better judgement and almost caused traffic collisions. - It has braked when I was simply turning around in a parking lot, nearly causing a vehicle to hit me. - It brakes when I'm trying to park my vehicle in a narrow garage space, despite not being in danger of hitting anything. - It has braked at traffic intersections when it sees cars turning in front of me, almost causing vehicles behind to collide with the back of my car. I filed a complaint with Honda, but they were unhelpful. Since it's impossible to permamently disable this safety feature, their only resolution was for me to remember to temporarily disable it every time I use the vehicle. It appears that this technology is flawed and prone to malfunctioning and Honda implemented it in their vehicles to track the data by using involuntary test subjects. In my view, this warrants a federal investigation and lawsuit. Thank you.

I had just merged onto a road and suddenly without warning the automatic emergency brakes applied. There were no vehicles in front of me or other objects. My safety and others were at risk because the vehicle suddenly braked and my control of the vehicle was considerably diminished. The road conditions were icy and it was snowing.

When turn to exit highway the car stop unexpectedly. It happened more than 5 times. I talked with the dealer but they not pay attention to my claim The dealer check the suspension twice and denied there was a problem. But Tire kingdom and an independent service verified a problem in the suspension system

2022 Honda Accord is experiencing a “traction control” light turning on randomly. Following that, multiple indicators turn on which disable the functions of economy, cruise control, and other features. When the traction warning is flashing, the vehicle makes an electrical sound.
Forward collision avoidance, Feb 5, 2024
The vehicle will sometimes brake even though no obstacle is present. This has occurred at highway speeds. The sudden brake event is jarring, and could cause me to be involved in a collision. The vehicle is relatively new, and covered by a factory warranty. I described the problem to the dealer's service department. The service department representative said he would not be able to repair the problem unless he could replicate it. The problem is intermittent, and is unlikely to be replicated. This means that the problem will likely remain unrepaired and dangerous.
Steering, Suspension, Structure, Feb 4, 2024
Metal part of Rear upper and control arm bushings get rusty, they may come off the main piece and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident. I have just put 25,000 miles on my Accord. Bought it a year ago.

There have been multiple times where the Automatic Emergency Braking just slams on the brakes for no reason almost causing a rear-end accident.

purchased vehicle on 11/22/23the next day the car slammed on the brakes to an almost complete stop while merging right onto a freeway onramp. it was a clear early morning with no cars in front or near. had there been someone close behind me they would have rear ended me. now since then today 12/3/23 back to back the same day within an hour the car slammed on the brakes when a vehicle turned right, without being close. i feel the vehicle is unsafe
Forward collision avoidance, Oct 27, 2023, crash
I was driving approximately 30 miles an hour with my foot on the accelerator when the automatic braking stoped the car dead. The automatic brake message flashed on the dashboard at that time. There were no cars or anything in front of me on the road. I was then rear ended by the car behind me. The car was taken to a collision shop, and there was a scan done on the car. There have been no other inspections of the cars braking system as far as I know. The problem was reported to my insurance company, Geico. The problem was reported to the police officer responding to the scene of the accident and the collision/towing company.
Vehicle speed control, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 18, 2023
This occurred twice both happened on the highway going 65 mph. I accelerated as usual, suddenly the check engine light began blinking and I lost the ability to accelerate (limp mode). The car instantly dropped to 20 mph. After a minute, the check engine blinking light went away. Both times I was luckily able to get off of the highway going 20 mph. The first occurrence, I turned the car off for 30 minutes. After turning back on, car was fine as if nothing happened. The second occurrence, after calling Honda they recommended towing to dealership, which I did. At my dealership, they drove a lot, but could not duplicate issue. However, there was code DTC P0304 misfire. From the dealer paperwork "cylinder 4 swap spark plugs to known working plug misfire gone recommend replacing all plug random misfire. Removed and replaced all spark plugs." Since this repair two weeks ago, I have not had any issues and the acceleration feels less sluggish than before. This is a VERY serious issue that could result in injury or death if it occurs to others!
Lane departure, Sep 6, 2023
The contact owns 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle independently downshifted with the Lane Departure warning light illuminated. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150.

Air bags, Jun 30, 2023, crash
My daughter was rear ended at a red light by a man going 50mph. It threw her into the car in front of her. The front end and rear end were completely destroyed. The car is totaled. Both were hurt and not one airbag went off. I have many photos.
Suspension, Jun 13, 2023
- The vehicle had loose front suspensions from the manufacturer on a brand new 2022 Honda Accord - This was a major safety concern due to driving the vehicle on the free way and could have caused death. - The problem was addressed by dealership and took it in for repair. - Yes vehicle was inspected by an Authorized Honda service facility. - No warning notifications popped up, I started hear ticking noise when turning the steering wheel in both directions which prompted me to having an issue. This happened about 6 months for the date of purchase/lease.
Vehicle speed control, Forward collision avoidance, May 9, 2023
I was driving down the interstate with my cruise control on. It was set to 75 mph. The vehicle began to speed up on it's own. We reached 86/87 mph when I turned off the cruise control but the vehicle was still accelerating. We reached ~95mph, I was slightly applying brake pressure and this slowed down the rate of acceleration but did not stop it. I tried shifting to neutral but the car didn't respond. We reached a little over ~100mph and the car finally stop accelerating. The whole event lasted ~30 seconds to 1 minute.
Vehicle speed control, Forward collision avoidance, May 3, 2023
The Collision Mitigation Braking System is overly sensitive, aggressive, unpredictable and sometimes erratic causing extremely dangerous situations including almost causing traffic accidents due to unwarranted locking up of brakes sometimes on the freeway at very dangerous highway speeds. I've had about 5 scenarios where the system has terrified me by applying heavy stopping power in a dangerous and unexpected manner in situations where I would never apply the brakes! One of the occasions was on a 35mph roadway that had a small dip hardly anything, with no cars, pedestrians in front of me SLAMMED the brakes aggressively for 0 reason and with nothing in front of the car but a slight dip in the road. Another occasion was on a freeway at freeway speeds where the car dangerously slammed on the brakes causing unexpected and abrupt loss of speed which WOULD HAVE resulted in a car behind me rear-ending my vehicle, in this case luckily no vehicle was directly behind me in this instance, but in the future this can cause an accident and put myself and others at risk. This vehicle is brand new, less than 3,000 miles. I've contacted Honda Corporate who directed me to a Honda Dealer which they seemed to advise I will be out of pocket for a diagnosis fee for, on a car that randomly and unexpectedly SLAMS ON BRAKES. This is unacceptable, the system automatically turns back on as soon as the vehicle starts up, there's no way to permanently deactivate this dangerous feature. This needs to be resolved immediately!!!
