Owner report 11569392 · 2024-02-01 (February 1, 2024)
On 2 separate occasions while driving, I have taken an exit that has 2 left and 2 right turn lanes. While I'm in the middle left turn lane and a car is in the middle right turn lane the radar cone for the emergency braking system will trigger an imminent collision and slam on the brakes even though cars are in completely different lanes and I have nothing in front of me. Both incidents have caused near misses from cars behind me. I'm not sure I even feel safe driving this car anymore, if technology that is supposed to keep me and my passengers …

On [XXX] at [XXX] with my wife in the my new Honda Accord. I was traveling between 30 and 40 MPH with nothing in front of me the AEB activated bringing the car to a complete stop.

Bought a brand new Honda 2024 at a dealership, since picking up the car we noticed it was black and white and not clear, assumed it was a setting issue so paperwork was completed and we took the car home.

Owner report 11604883 · 2024-07-27 (July 27, 2024)
The 2024 Accord EX front passenger seat sits too low and has no height adjustment. Many adult front passengers are positioned extremely low to the floor with zero height adjustment. I believe the airbag may not effectively protect or even cause injury to these passengers as many can not see over the dash. This abnormal low position also causes leg discomfort and cramps during longer trips. I recommend that Honda provide a seat adjustment alteration or install optional seat-jacking spacers to restore passenger height to a safe and or normal …
