Consumer Description

On at least 2 different occasions, the brakes my 2017 Honda CRV suddenly engaged without me touching the brake pedal. Once was on I-75 when there was no traffic in front of me and no traffic on the sides. It just braked momentarily with the brake warning light on the dash appearing. It almost immediately returned to proper operation. Another time I was driving in city traffic while crossing an intersection and the brakes suddenly engaged. Again, it was a momentary situation and my foot was not on the brake pedal. I have also had repeated problems with my main display-sometimes the screen goes black and I am unable to turn radio off or change stations. Other times, the a/c or heater and defrost will not operate and then after driving for 15-30 mins it suddenly turns on and I have heat or ac and the screen returns to normal operation. The dealer has been unable to fix.
