2018 Honda Accord Hybrid Brakes Problems

when i am driving in an area near my home with road construction- there is a certain area that has a metal plate in the road and when i approach in from the east my car will automatically brake hard. luckily this has not caused an accident but i suspect that it may because it is a busy road.

Multiple times in the state of Oklahoma, driving from Oklahoma to Maryland, and in Maryland Washington DC area, the automatic brakes apply at highway speeds on the interstate whenever there is a shadow in the road. It is extremely frightening. I am having the fuel pump recall Repaired at the Honda dealership today. I told the Honda dealership about this problem and they said they were unaware of it. They said they would reset the calibration on the anti-breaking system. However, upon research, it looks like you are investigating this problem. Please add my car to the list of cars affected. I do not know the exact dates that this happened but it has been. I would say at least 20 to 30 times since 2020 when I bought the vehicle.

Driving on the interstate about two years ago when for no apparent reason the car suddenly braked hard. There was little traffic at the time. I assumed it was the automatic braking feature due to the display on the instrument panel. The brakes let off as suddenly as they had started. Luckily no other cars were nearby so there was little chance of being rear ended. There were no injuries or accidents as a result of this braking incident. Scared me half to death though! This has only happened the one time. The car is available for inspection as needed. I have never mentioned this to Honda as it only occurred once. There was no warning except for the simultaneous orange emergency collision warning on the instrument panel.

THE REAR BRAKES ARE WORN TOO FAST AND ROTORS ARE ALREADY DAMAGED AT 19500 MILES. *TR

I WAS TURNING RIGHT INTO THE PARKING SPACE FOR MY CAR AT MY HOME WITH MY FOOT RESTING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GOING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO STEP HARD ON THE BRAKE, WHICH MADE IT VEER TO THE RIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE CAR STOP JUST SHORT OF HITTING OUR OTHER CAR. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN MY DRIVEWAY, AGAIN AT A VERY SLOW SPEED, THIS TIME GOING STRAIGHT, WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED FOR NO REASON. AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES.

OUR CAR'S BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED AT NIGHT IN ORLAND PARK, IL, LUCKILY ANOTHER DRIVER ALERTED US THAT THEY WERE UNLIT AND NOT OPERATING DURING BRAKING. WE ALSO NOTICED THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM HAD FAILED, CALLED OUR DEALER & BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR THE NEXT MORNING (JAN. 14, 2019); WE RECEIVED A LOANER SINCE THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE (IT TOOK TWO DAYS FOR PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE). HONDA TOLD US THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE RADAR SENSOR. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA SEVERAL TIMES TO URGE THEM TO FIX THIS BUG, AS BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD ALWAYS WORK AND NOT BE CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS SAFETY DEFECT NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE FIX, SO I AM DOCUMENTING IT SO THE US DOT CAN PRESSURE THEM TO FIX IT AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE.
