2022 HONDA RIDGELINE Forward Collision Avoidance Warnings Problems

With the forward collision warning system active, there are frequent false positives - warning sound, shaking of steering wheel when no collision is imminent, startling the driver potentially causing an accident.

Around 25,000 miles front brakes started making screeching noise with regular stopping. I am not a hard breaker. Rotors according do the dealership have developed hot spots. Honda has changed to a coated rotor which cannot be turned. I also have a 2019 Honda ridgeline that has the non coated rotors and have had no problems with front brakes.

This vehicle randoml activates the forward collision warning braking system. Cannot deactivate. ACC will not follow vehicle in front at selected distance. The Honda will accelerate at high speed until right on bumper of vehicle in front and then slam on brake. It will then drift back quite a ways and then repeat. Extremely dangerous to us Honda dealer acknowledges issue and say there is no fix for these. Auto Hi beams are a joke. Random on/off. Again a dangerous feature to try to use. These are not one time events as portrayed in Additional Details section

The Honda Sense forward facing radar that causes the dash to show BRAKE and also brake on your behalf is poorly implemented and comes on in varying conditions... from two lane roads to no cars on the road at all. I live in an area with many two way windy roads and any car coming towards you, the car, believes is an issue and the BRAKE warning light, a sound and a quiver of the steering wheel occurs. There has been two incidents where there is no other car on the road and the Ridgeline shows the BRAKE warning light and then actually braked the car heavily. If there was a car behind me, it would have caused an accident. Honda needs to remove this feature altogether until it can handle all road conditions. Three separate service advisors, (Shingle Springs, Folsom and Santa Monica) have heard multiple complaints and issues...

I bought a new 2022 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E February 2022. Drove it 100 miles and was driving down the road 40 mph with no one in front or behind. The brake warning light came on and the ABS locked up. The dash lit up and said "Collision Mitigation System Problem". The same CMS failure happened a half dozen times until I got it home. I took it to the dealership the next morning and on a test drive, the same thing happened to their service manager after resetting the system. They said the vehicle was not safe to drive. They kept it and are trying to get a radar sending unit but there are none. They have had the truck for almost 4 weeks. I have since read about this same failure mode going back to the 2017 model year.

When entering a slight curve in the road, the steering wheel shakes and the dash says BRAKE. There is always a car in the oncoming lane, but well within its lane. I only have 1000 miles on the Ridgeline, but this has happened several times. In each instance the brakes were never applied, but it is quite unnerving. There are times when the shaking (vibrating) steering wheel is more violent which makes me think that it is close to applying the brakes. I had the same issue with my 2018 Accord. The dealer is aware but they say there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.
