In owners' own words
The automatic braking system provides warning and brakes the car automatically with no trigger to do so. Has happened several times. My safety is at risk due to the vehicle braking for no reason while in traffic disrupting my own controlling the vehicle. The car is at dealer currently however they saying something "HAD" to trigger it and that I just wasn't aware. Not able to recreate at current moment. Forward collision avoidance
Unintended acceleration. On August 8, 2025, Honda C-RV Hybrid 2025 (sport touring) accelerated into a wall without the driver touching the gas pedal. The vehicle is deemed a constructive total loss by the insurance carrier. Since it canât be driven, we are unable to reproduce the problem. A case is open with Honda since the date of the accident; however, there is no urgency to move the case forward. Forward collision avoidance
While driving on the freeway the brake light flashed and slowed down when nothing was on the road but cars, luckily there was no traffic behind me , I donât like that the car did this itself in the middle of traffic, could of caused an accident Forward collision avoidance
