2021 Honda Civic - SERVICE BRAKES and FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING Failure Complaint (#b16978)

2021 Honda Civic

  • Date of Incident: Nov-22, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Nov-22, 2024
  • Failed components: SERVICE BRAKES and FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

I have had dozens of incidents where i will be driving down the road and my car will just break for no apparent reason. It is totally random and at times terrifying. It happens with no other vehicles in front of my vehicle as well as while i am just driving in traffic with cars behind me. Many times, after it happens initially, i cannot accelerate the car due to the breaks locking up. I have to put the car in park and then drive to accelerate. I have asked my service providers at honda the dealership about this, and they have no idea why this is happening. This is so dangerous and frightening.
