Both my wife and I have multiple dates and time experienced issues of CMBS Collision Mitigation Braking System, we would be driving with no traffic near us or with in hundreds of feet in front of us that the system would flash "brake" on the dash and then start slowing the vehicle down. Also the Front and rear brakes pads and rotor have been replaced under 6000 miles on the vehicle

A loud booming / vibrating noise from the speakers while traveling between 52 & 54 mph with windows closed. Sound starts as a low noise / vibration and escalates to its maximum before abruptly ceasing. Noise / Vibration first noticed when taking car home after initial delivery 3/28/2020. Vehicle use was minimal (due to COVID shutdowns) and noise not noticed again until late fall / early winter of 2020. Vehicle was taken to dealer at regular service interval in February 2021 and problem was evaluated at that time. Vehicle has been evaluated once and microphone for Noice Cancelling system replaced. Issue subsequently returned. Vehicle going for second repair.

Just before March 2, 2021 shortly after purchasing this new vehicle I discovered a safety hazard in which the passenger window will not roll down, I brought it to Hoehn Honda in Carlsbad on March 2 and they oiled the window to make it work. I had concerns that they did not replace the motor mechanisms and it would fail again which it has. Today May 17 2021 I was not feeling ill at work and went to sit in my car to roll down the windows to get a breeze and again the passenger front seat window is stuck. One or two times it seemed like it didn’t work but on the next try it did after the repair. now it’s frozen again. Having non-operational windows is a safety hazard and a passenger hazard, and a law enforcement hazard if pulled over and the window will not roll down. It is stuck in the up position. The dealership has no interest it’s a safety hazard and requires i drive it in and will not provide me a loaner car.

THE VEHICLES BRAKING SYSTEM CAUSES WARPED ROTERS AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. USING THESE SYSTEMS IN COMBINATION WITH THE WARPED ROTERS CAUSES VEHICLE SHAKING, DRIVER DISTRACTION, AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST SET OF ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY WHICH TEMPORARILY FIXED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER ISSUES RELATED TO THESE SYSTEMS INCUR EXCESSIVE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES RESULTING IN A RESURFACING OF THE PROBLEM AFTER A SHORT TIME. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SAFETY ISSUE OR REPAIR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 7 MILES ON IT. MY HUSBAND INSTANTLY KEPT SAYING WHY IS YOUR CAR SHAKING WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES? I DIDN'T NOTICE BEFORE BUT WAS, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR STOPPING FROM A SPEED OF 50MPH OR MORE. BY THE TIME OF MY FIRST SERVICE IT WAS INCREASINGLY WORSE. I HAD THEM CHECK IT BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. IT GOT WORSE! I WENT BACK AGAIN & EXPLAINED IF IT WAS FINE WE HAVE A PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN, SAID THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH ROTORS. THEY MACHINED THEM & PUT NEW PADS. THE NEXT MORNING BACKING OUT OF CAR PORT- SCRUBBING METAL SOUND AND SQUEAL. THESE BRAKES ARE FAULTY AND I CAN NO LONGER TRUST THAT HONDA CARES. I'M TRADING MY CAR FOR A MAXIMA IN SEPTEMBER. I HAVE OWNED 7 HONDA'S. THIS WAS MY FIRST BRAND NE ONE. NOT GOOD

WITH ONLY 2600 MILES ON THE CAR, I WENT IN FOR A INSPECTION AT HONDA AND THE REAR BRAKES WERE ALREADY FADING TO THE POINT THAT I MIGHT NEED TO REPLACE THEM WITHIN 2K MORE MILES. FROM WHAT I READ, THE STABILIZING FEATURE THAT HONDA IMPLEMENTED IS A BIT TOO AGGRESSIVE AND BECAUSE OF THAT THE REAR BRAKES ARE WEARING OUT MUCH FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD.
