What owners wrote
On 2/14/19, I was driving on a city street in a straight line at approximately 40MPH. The car ahead of me stopped. I stepped on the brake and instantly the dashboard warnings lit up - adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, and the brake - and the brake did not work so I could not stop. I rear-ended the car in front of me doing significant damage to the front of my car.
2018 accord randomly and automatically brakes hard when no obvious hazard is around. The ACC will turn off and error is displayed saying see your dealer. When the car is turned off it resets and ACC is running again. I am getting very nervous driving this car on highways.
