NHTSA Complaint #11473201 — 2018 HONDA CR-V

7/8/22: Driving at 20-25mph in a residential neighborhood, no cars were in front of me, the car beeped, the dashboard BRAKE light came on and the car did a hard brake. I did not press on my brakes and there was nothing in front of me to trigger the emergency brakes. Fortunately, nothing was behind me. If something was behind me, I would have most likely been rear ended and my 12 and 13 year old as well as myself would have been injured. My car was inspected on 5/3/22 and as part of that inspection new brakes were installed. Right after the incident, the Maintenance light came on with code B. I already have an appointment scheduled for 8/10 to have the turn signal and brake light fixed. I immediately called to see if I could move up the appointment but they didn’t have any earlier openings. They suggested I just take it to the service center if it occurred again. 7/10/22: About 10 minutes after leaving home, driving about 20-25mph nothing in front of me or behind me, the car beeped, the dashboard BRAKE light came on and the car did a hard brake. AGAIN, no reason for the car’s emergency brake system to engage. I will be taking it to the service center on Monday. I am now afraid to drive this car or take it on any highways or major routes.
