Consumer Description

Vehicle brakes automatically when operating at highway speeds when passing a vehicle that is either moving slowly or stopped in a turn lane waiting to turn left. Occurs when Collision Mitigation System is in both the on and off position and when cruise control is engaged and disengaged. This has occurred approximately twice a month since purchasing new in July of 2020. Vehicle also breaks when encountering an approaching vehicle on the highway while going around a corner when turning to the right. One time the vehicle behind me almost hit me and had to go onto the shoulder to avoid a collision. I reported this to the Honda dealer in the winter months and they said it was likely caused by road salt. It's now June and there is no road salt and problem is still occurring. The orange break indicator when on turning the automatic breaking.
