2019 HONDA CIVIC Forward Collision Avoidance Warnings Problems

Since April of 2024, my steering has been sticking when making the slightest of turns. It has progressively gotten worse. I initially thought that I needed power steering fluid but that did not correct the issue. This sticky causes my vehicle to veer to the left and right abruptly into other lanes. I am fighting to keep the vehicle straight. I can hear the sticking noise constantly due to the lack of lubrication in the steering gearbox. I am fearful that I may cause an accident and injure myself or others when driving and I would like assistance in having the dealership correct this issue. This issue also causes the sensors for my ABS, Adaptive Cruise control, lane departure etc to malfunction and alarm.

I took my 2019 Honda Civic into the dealership because I got a warning signal that says, collision mitigation system problem. The dealership says it needs a part that is back ordered and told me I could drive vehicle until part comes in. It has been several weeks. I am not comfortable driving my vehicle with this warning light on plus whatever they did since I assume this is a vital safety component/system. Also0, I have no cruise which makes long trips uncomfortable.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the Forward Collision Avoidance System would inadvertently activate intermittently without a vehicle nearby. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.

MOST RECENTLY, DRIVING ALONG ON A SUNNY DAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON A FLAT ROAD. NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD IN SIGHT. THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM BEEPED AND FLASHED THE WARNING ON THE DASH. AT THE SAME TIME THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY BEFORE DISENGAGING. THE BRAKING LOWERED MY SPEED TO ABOUT 30-35 MPH. THE ONLY CONCLUSION I COULD REACH WAS THAT THE SYSTEM MISTOOK THE SHADOW OF A TREE FOR AN OBJECT BUT I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN TAKING AN EXIT RAMP FROM A HIGHWAY WHEN THE COLLISION WARNING FLASHED AND THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY, DROPPING MY SPEED SOMEWHAT, BEFORE DISENGAGING. IN BOTH CASES, I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE SYSTEM DISENGAGED, THOUGH I AM GLAD IT DID AS OTHER VEHICLES APPROACHED FROM BEHIND SOON AFTER.

ON FRIDAY, APRIL 2ND, I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE 710 FWY ON THE FAR LEFT LANE. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 75MPH AND THERE WAS AN OBJECT ON THE GROUND WHICH LOOKED LIKE AN EMPTY POTATO CHIP BAG, IT WASN'T ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE DONE ANY DAMAGE TO MY CAR BUT MY HONDA SENSE'S COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR NO REASON AND ALERTED ME TO BRAKE AND STARTED APPLYING PRESSURE. I HAD NO REASON TO STOP SO I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE SHOULDER LANE TO PREVENT MY CAR FROM BRAKING UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED INTO A DEADLY COLLISION IF THERE WAS A CAR CLOSE BEHIND ME. I HAVE FOOTAGE OF THE VIDEO AND REQUESTED THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IF THIS IS A FAULTY SENSORY ISSUE, I WOULD LIKE IT CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT FURTHER ISSUES. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THIS...
