NHTSA Complaint #11337773 — 2017 HONDA CIVIC

LANE MONITORING SYSTEM PROVIDES INCONSISTENT WARNINGS. THIS HAS BEEN NOTED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHILE I DRIVE THROUGH THE CITY AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAYS. IT SOMETIMES WITHOUT WARNING ADJUSTS THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. BRAKE MONITORING SYSTEM, WHEN IT DOES PROVIDE WARNING, PROVIDES WARNINGS SO LATE THAT A COLLISION WOULD BE UNAVOIDABLE. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE INFORMATION TO ALLOW FOR AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE OF THE DRIVER. NO FEEDBACK FROM THE CALIBRATION MODE OF THE TPMS. ONCE THE SYSTEM PROVIDES ITS FIRST ALARM, DOESN'T RESPOND WELL TO CALIBRATION. MY SYSTEM NOW ALARMS ABOUT EVERY 60-100 MILES. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS SCARY. WHILE IT IS EXPECTED THAT IN ESPECIALLY HILLY TERRAIN THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD VARY A BIT (A COUPLE OF MPH EITHER DIRECTION), THE SYSTEM SOMETIMES DOES NOT ENGAGE, SOMETIMES TURNS ITSELF OFF WITHOUT WARNING, PROVIDES INCONSISTENT WARNING OF WHEN THE VEHICLE INTERVAL IS NOT MAINTAINED, BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT IT DOES NOT MAINTAIN THE SET POINT. FOR EXAMPLE YESTERDAY, ACC SET AT 42 MPH. SPEED LIMIT WAS 40 MPH. I WAS DESCENDING A HILL AND MANUALLY DISENGAGED THE ACC WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED EXCEEDED 57 MPH. SAME TRIP -- ACC SET AT 67 MPH, SPEED LIMIT AT 65 MPH; ACC DISENGAGED MANUALLY WHEN VEHICLE SPEED APPROACHED 76 MPH. THIRD INSTANCE, ACC SET AT 56 MPH, SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH, ACC MANUALLY DISENGAGED AT 63 MPH. WHEN ACC FIRST ENGAGED, SPEED IS AT THE SET POINT. THEN THE SYSTEM CAN'T MAINTAIN THE SPEED AND CONSISTENTLY RUNS 1-2 MPH BELOW THE SET POINT. HENCE, ME SETTING THE ACC 1-2 MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT. BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE ALL PART OF THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM WHICH WAS PART OF THE TOURING PACKAGE, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE. THE 2017 CR-V MODELS WITH THE SAME SYSTEM HAVE A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. HONDA WILL NOT RESPOND TO OUR INQUIRIES.
