Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Owners describe phantom automatic emergency braking, where the car suddenly brakes hard at speeds around 15-40 mph with no vehicle or obstacle ahead.
- Several drivers report the collision mitigation system triggering a full stop or hard deceleration on the highway while using cruise control, sometimes leading to a rear-end collision.
- Some complaints describe the system misreading shadows from adjacent vehicles or unrelated objects (like railroad tracks) as obstacles, causing unwanted braking.
- One owner reported the problem recurring after the Collision Mitigation Braking System was replaced with a new Honda part following a prior accident.
- A few drivers noted dashboard warnings for adaptive cruise control or road hazard mitigation system faults, which some linked to a radar component needing replacement.
