Consumer Description

1. Driving on the freeway with multiple lanes. I driver cuts across multiple lanes and even though they only stayed 1 second in front of me and jumped into another lane, Honda thinks it's time to apply the brake after they have merged over to next lane. Applying the brakes when nobody is in front of me! 35mph 2. I can be 25 feet behind a car. That car happens to be making a turn at an intersection. It clears my path, but it's stuck just at the corner of the other street because traffic isn't flowing for them. I have 100% clear of path. And guess what, Honda decides to slam on the brakes because it saw the vehicle is about a foot away from my lane stopped. Honda can't tell the difference if I'm going straight or following the car that turned so it thinks it's better to slam on the brakes when in question. Very dangerous! 40mph 3. When on a multi lane freeway. I have no car in front of me but there is a vehicle in another lane. As I try to pass the vehicle, my Civic applies the brakes when the road isn't straight but very slightly curved. In my opinion it's not calculating at all that we are in a curve. It seems like Honda is not using vision from camera to tell the lanes and lane markers and also the steering wheel. But it only detects that somehow we will collide. 65mph A dangerous system and shouldn't be allowed until the bug is fixed with software update. So far Honda hasn't acknowledged anything. I have to gather all my footage and share it with you, maybe through youtube? There are no warnings, no problems with the car. This is clearly a software issue. Honda dealer told me there is no software update for this when I question Honda Serramonte Colma CA when I brought my vehicle in for failed AC. Service writer said "these things can happen, just try to drive more cautiously"
