There are 4 owner-reported driver assist & adas complaints for the 2025 Honda Accordin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
While driving in Adaptive Cruise Control, a vehicle in the other lane was slowing down and turning right, but my car started applying the brakes for no reason. This has caused panic for me, since it was a 45 mph zone, and it was OK.
The contact owns a 2025 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at any high speeds, the collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) engages independently. In addition, all 4 tires lock, and the emergency brake engages. A dealer was contacted. No warning light illuminated; however a warning message to "brake" would illuminate, but did not give the contact ample time to engage the brake pedal manually. The contact mentioned she sustained whiplash due to the failure. The contact also mentioned that the failure occurred on three different occasions. During the most recent failure, the contact mentioned driving at 40 MPH, when the CMBS engaged independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed; however the diagnosis was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,111.
The Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), which is part of Honda's advanced safety features, slammed on the brakes driving down the road at about 40 mph. When the vehicle slammed the brakes, me and the passenger were jerked forward with seatbelts on. Had a vehicle been behind us traveling it would have slammed into the back of my vehicle causing an accident. I will be contacting the dealer to address this problem as it just happened yesterday 8/3/2025. Although I did read that this complaint is currently under investigation. When the vehile slammed on the breaks, the Brake warning light came on right after the brake was slammed and immediately went off.
this car has lane keeping assistance but this is very bad, if you let the assistant assist you at 65mph for more than 5 seconds you probably die, because this assistance move you like ping pong from left side to right side. Also this has a very bad quality of steering rack after 30 days starts making noise and they fixed but the noise starts again. i was forced to trade in this car, ocean Honda of Burlingame hide reports they also hide from carfax they make services or replace parts but they only stated like tire rotation or driveability check tire pressure check be aware of this.
