NHTSA Complaint #11637958 — 2024 HONDA PROLOGUE

On multiple occasions the forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking have engaged when there is nothing in the lane. On one occasion, the system engaged brakes very hard - which I can only assume was triggered by a pedestrian on a nearby sidewalk. I was traveling 30mph and the vehicle came to an abrubt stop. Traffic behind me was then also forced to slam on their brakes and I feel this could have easily lead to a collision if the driver behind had not been attentive. On another case the vehicle engaged brakes while traveling at 60mph on a two lane highway. I was traveling straight, approaching a rightward bend in the road. My steering wheel was still straight ahead because I had not yet reached the turn. Meanwhile a vehicle was coming the opposite direction around the bend. I believe the system engaged because I was steering straight toward the other vehicle - not taking into account the fact that my lane would bend before reaching it. In this case the system did not stop the vehicle but it did cause a rapid change from 60mph to 40mph in a section of road with no obstructions where neither myself nor drivers around me would expect my vehicle to slam on the brakes. Had the surface been slick such a maneuver could cause loss of control. Again - had drivers behind me not been attentive - I could have been rear ended.
