“My Honda 2026 AWD HYBIRD CRV was hit from behind while I stop at a RED light, after the impact , my CRV surging forward (unintended acceleration) after experiencing this impact. The car ran into an intersection which brake did not respond, I then use hand brake it did not stop , but until I rear ended a car in the front which was about 50 yards from me”

“I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding a serious potential design vulnerability involving the front radar sensor on my 2026 Honda CR\-V EX\. My vehicle is only four months old, and the front radar sensor and Honda emblem were recently stolen\. This resulted in numerous dashboard warnings and disabled important collision\-avoidance and driver\-assistance features\. It is unacceptable that such a critical safety component appears to be easily accessible and removable, leaving drivers without essential safety technology\. Other Honda owners have reported similar thefts, raising concerns that this may be a widespread issue rather than an isolated incident\. Replacement and calibration can cost approximately $1,700–$2,500\. Why should consumers be financially responsible for replacing an essential safety component that may be inadequately protected by the manufacturer? I am leasing a brand\-new vehicle and should not have to pay thousands of dollars or rely on aftermarket security devices to protect critical safety equipment\. Even after replacement, the vehicle remains vulnerable to another theft\. I strongly urge NHTSA to investigate whether this…”

“Driving on I-69 with all adaptive systems on including cruise control set at 65 miles per hour. The car had slowed to about 60 due to ahead car. . It started raining rather hard, a message said the Honda emblem was dirty and it automatically disabled all adaptive systems leaving the car moving at about 60 miles per hour without warning. I fortunately manually braked to avoid a rear collision. This disabling procedure happens to fast to be safe in traffic or at higher speeds.”

“Spouse parked the car in the garage, turned off motor. It was left in reverse gear, but car was off. She exited vehicle, went out to driveway, and the car was slowly rolling out of the garage. She had to jump in, apply the brakes. Then started vehicle and placed in Park. Shut vehicle off. I was able to replicate the same event. Lucky that our grandkids were not in or behind the car. As I understand the process, an electrical and/or programming failed to place car in auto park.”
