Consumer Description

We purchased a 2020 Honda Pilot EXL AWD. The collision mitigation system engages arbitrarily, no vehicles or obstacles in front of me and the system activates. Honda Dealership said they can't find a problem. However, there is a class action lawsuit against Honda, filed in California, for this and other problems with their safety system. Most Recently drove the car on a 560 mile trip, the collision mitigation system warning came on 5 times when there were no cars or obstacles in front of me. Hopefully NHTSA can apply some pressure on Honda to address this issue. It is VERY FRUSTRATING when you have problems with a new vehicle and HONDA will not correct them.
