What owners report most

Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Forward collision avoidance

6 reports
“Backing out of parking space when reverse auto braking suddenly deployed with an extremely harsh jolt wirh a whiplash effect. A person was in the distance approx 40 feet behind not close enough to deploy.”
Owner complaint to NHTSAFiled Sep 19, 2026Forward collision avoidanceODI 11765525

Service brakes

3 reports
“My car will flash “brake system failure” and “one pedal driving” at least every two days. It’s very hard to stop the car when this message pops up. It’ll roll pretty fast, in order to stop it I have to slam on the brake pedal and push it to the floor. Turning it off restarts the system but it’s not a fix. the car has gone to Honda but they can’t recreate the issue. As of this moment, it’s a month old with 1,000 miles, and the car we transport our family in. Having brake failure this early is very concerning”
