2024 Honda CR-V Driver Assist & ADAS Problems

Auto braking system randomly goes off. When it does go off there is nothing the driver can do causing danger to driver and others on the road

Vehicle repeatedly brakes on its own when there are no vehicles in front to avoid. Very dangerous for vehicles behind and me and passengers. Dealer "cannot" reproduce, denies there is a problem despite 1000s of online complaints and NHTSA safety investigation. Incidents occurred within weeks of purchase in December 2023.

I love my 2024 Honda CRV which I purchased in May of 2025. But I need to report this for safety reasons. On September 9, 2025 I was driving south on Sare Road near Davis Road in Bloomington IN at about 30 mph when the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), activated and stopped the car in an instant. It was a rapid, unintended deceleration. The “Brake” message flashed on the dash. This occurred at approximately 7:30 pm, and there was no other traffic around me. No oncoming traffic, no other cars in front of me and thankfully no one following closely behind. There was no collision - however if another car had been behind me they likely would have rear-ended my vehicle. There were no people or animals in the vicinity to cause the CMBS to activate. And I did not inadvertently touch the brake prior to the incident. I was just driving along and suddenly thrown forward and restrained by my seatbelt. I could smell what seemed to be the brakes or tires. I was confused as to why the vehicle stopped. I turned the engine off and checked for traffic, then started the car and continued driving home without further incident. Within a day or two, I stopped in at my dealership ( Andy Mohr Honda) and reported the incident. Today (9/19/25) I was having a transmission fluid service and mentioned the CMBS issue to the technician and he chanced the Settings for CMBS from “far” to “near” and said that should solve the issue and to let them know if it occurs again. My concern is that if it happens again it could result in an accident and cause damage and injury. Especially if I am on the interstate driving at 60 mph.

While using Adaptive Cruise Control at 47mph on a local highway, Automatic Emergency Braking activated almost stopping the vehicle with vehicles fairly close behind it nearly causing an accident.  There were no vehicles beside our car and no vehicles or objects on the road in front that could trigger the braking.  This has also happened several times at lower speeds on less crowded roads.  After the last occurrence, I took the vehicle to the Prescott Honda Dealership where they were unable to duplicate the problem.  They documented the problem but told me that Honda would not replace the sensors under warranty unless the Honda Technician was able to duplicate the problem while driving it.  If this happened on a busy Interstate Highway like I-40 or I-17 at 75mph with vehicles or a large truck close behind, it could cause a serious accident.

Driver assist systems disable themselves occasionally and seemingly at random. It seems that something is hyperactive or overly sensitive with the system. I have stopped to clean areas where camera is and it doesn't seem to make a difference or helps for a little while and then happens again. Unable to use cruise control for remainder of trip without calling dealership and them telling me to press and hold something to shut off driver assist in order to use cruise control. Another time my front collision warning flashed and disabled my cruise control while I was going down an interstate highway recently at 75 mph. Luckily no one was close behind me. I have no idea what it detected that would have set this off because there was nothing there. Not even a tumbleweed. The weather was somewhat windy and it had rained lightly earlier in the trip but was dry at the time this happened. Another time this past week, the lane departure flashed and did the shimmy with my steering wheel and I was not even outside of a lane. And then when I was on my own road going home and no one was coming I deliberately went outside the center lane and it did nothing. This is getting weird. I don't want to be a statistic. It's getting so I am spooked to drive it on a longer trip! I told the dealership during an oil change today but apparently there isn't much they can do? To me, this is unacceptable and Honda needs to better for it's customers.

The vehicle has occasionally hard decelerated (braked) for no apparent reason. The term seems to be "phantom braking". This has been going on for a while for my wife and me when either of us is driving. My wife doesn't usually use cruise control and I use it most of the time.

While driving down the road at about 45 mph, my 2024 CRV automatically applied the brakes while there was not anything in front of me. I’m [XXX] and honestly it scared me. I’m just wanting to report this because I don’t want anyone to get hurt. I have not taken it to the dealer as this was the first time.

All emergency warning lights from adaptive cruise control,Automatic brake system,lane keeping alert,Forward collision warning,etc. came up on the dasboard while driving and car losing power....

On [XXX] and [XXX], I was driving in the right lane in a construction zone on [XXX] in Detroit, MI when my 2024 CR-V slammed on the breaks while flashing the forward collision “break” warning on my dash. There were no cars at least 500 yards in front of me and, luckily, no one behind me. This happened by itself and no cruise control was engaged at the time. I have had this car since October 2023 and this is the first time this has happened. This was a sunny morning with temps in the low 30s. No rain and no snow. I have yet to be able to reproduce this issue and it’s unlikely that I could, since this happened under normal driving conditions. I have also not had the car inspected yet, but I will when I have the oil changed in a few weeks. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving on a country road and shortly following acceleration after a left turn, the cars forward collision warning went off, but in an unusual way. It will generally beep and flash the brake signal a few times if the forward collision warning activates. This time I heard one loud beep, saw a flash of the brake signal, and then the car slammed on the brakes to a complete stop. Luckily, there was no one and no other cars around me as I was on a small road without much traffic. The car is currently at the dealership being evaluated. I have sent a request to the general manager to investigate this situation further than just a basic code run or recreation of the malfunction. I do not feel comfortable driving this car without a clear diagnoses and repair.

On Sunday [XXX] and also other times before this, the vehicle will do a fantom breaking. It will slow down, brake, when no other vehicles are near by. On [XXX], the vehicle braked hard while I was in cruise control and traveling on [XXX] near Baldwin, WI. At this time the adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and brake system warning lights came on. the vehicle was okay to drive the remainder of the way home. I took the vehicle to the Honda dealer on Wednesday February 26th. They reported that they found Code P2583-49 millimeter wave radar fail. They said that they cleared snow debris off front bumper but there was no snow debris on bumper. It was 40 some degrees. I wanted to make you aware of this system problem because the unexpected braking is very hard and could cause an accident if a driver over responds.

The Honda dealership replaced the steering gear box as required by the recent recall. After picking up my vehicle, I noticed that the Blindspot alert system was not working. The cross traffic monitor was not working. The side mirror was not beeping nor lighting up. The arrows and beeping did not occur when vehicles were driving behind me while in reverse. It appears that the sensors/radar had been disconnected or disabled although the dash settings show that they are on. After taking the vehicle back, the dealership lied and said that my 2024 Honda CRV EX had never been equipped with those sensors. They were working perfectly fine before I took the vehicle in. The dealership is denying fraudulent activity and jeopardizing the safety equipment of my vehicle and the safety of myself and others. I bought the EX model specifically because of those standard features. Honda should repair and replace any damaged or removed sensors as a result of the dealers errors and fraudulent activity.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that his girlfriend was driving at 65 MPH when the collision avoidance activated and stopped 40 feet before reaching the vehicle in front. The driver noticed a vehicle driving at approximately 50 MPH from the rear and attempted to avoid a collision however the vehicle failed to drive and remained at a halt. As a result, the vehicle was involved in a rear-end collision. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic per the insurance company where it remained and the hatch, body line, hybrid batter, and bumper along with other unknown components needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and was pending repairs. No air bags deployed. The contact who was a front passenger sustained a herniated disc, the neck, shoulder, spine, and entire back, and urinary tract injuries. The contact's girlfriend who was the driver sustained whiplash, back, neck, concussion, left arm, shoulder, spine, and right ankle injuries. Medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and 2 claims were opened. The approximate failure mileage was 25,600.

Car suddenly slows for no reason. No accidents yet. No police reports. Car suddenly slowing for no reason causes driver confusion and can invite rear end collisions from cars behind. Driving 45 mph with cruise control engaged on a two lane road, car suddenly slows to about 20 mph for no reason. It has happened 3 times randomly at about the same spot in one highway and and twice on other highways. Suddenly slowing while passing large vehicles causes driver confusion, invites rear end collisions, and the inability to safely complete the passing of the large vehicle. When driving 65 to 70 mph with cruise control engaged and passing an 18 wheeler, the car randomly suddenly slows to about the speed or the truck when it is about 10 feet from being nose to nose with the truck. Happens every 5th to 10th passing of an 18 wheeler.

Had all of the warning adaptive driver assistance systems malfunction off all of a sudden warning me to pull over and contact dealer. Car was driving fine but scared me so much that I pulled over. Awaiting to hear back from dealer. I bought the brand new 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid in January and it has 12000 miles on it so far.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while the contact attempted to park the vehicle, the contact stated that the rearview camera became inoperable. The contact stated that the image on the camera appeared blank. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,800.

Component: Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) My car has less than 2,000 miles on it. I have experienced the situation described below 3 times now. Traffic on a freeway/highway slowed down quickly, and I stepped on the brake pedal to slow down quickly but still gradually. However, the collision auto-braking system activated and my car suddenly halted to a stop with plenty of room (about 1 and a half cars length) ahead of me. In 2 of those situations, I can see the car behind me quickly react by swerving into the shoulder. Rather than improve safety, this feature created a dangerous situation. In 1 of these situations, I released the brake pedal to move forward slightly (without stepping on the accelerator) and then stepped on the brake down slightly to slow down; the automatic braking system jerked the car to a stop once again.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. The "BRAKE" message was displayed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000. The VIN was unavailable.

My wife was driving on a 4 lane road after it was wet. The road is flat but bended to the right. Traveling in the middle lanes, the braking system engaged and the brakes fully locked while she was at a driving speed of 25 mph and the car slid across the lanes as she entered the turn. She said it lasted for about 10 seconds before the brakes disengaged.

I was driving down the road, no other vehicles present, no animals in road, road was clear, weather was clear. Going 30 mph and all of a sudden the car automatically slammed on the brakes for no reason what so ever. I am lucky no one was behind me. This is the 3rd time the vehicle did this.
