The issue I’m having is that the break red light in the orange brake system just appears randomly without me activating the break. on one occasion I parked the car without seeing any of those signals, then upon me coming out of the store, both signals appeared on the dashboard. my car was stuck in break four hours. After continuously, activating the electronic brake and inactivating it I was able to drive home. I am currently driving day two with both signals flashing on my dashboard. The wheels are rolling and not dragging so I’m not sure what’s going on. This is a safety hazard for not only myself or family, but for other drivers on the road because if this decides to just stop in the middle of the road activating the brakes I’m going to be in trouble and hopefully not life threatening trouble.

MY CAR ALARM RANDOMLY STARTED GOING OFF WHILE PARKED FOR THREE DAYS, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED BACK TO BACK AT 2AM WHILE PARKED. I TRIED TURNING IT OFF WITH MY KEY FOB AND IT WOULD NOT REGISTER. I OPENED THE CAR WITH THE KEY IN THE FOB AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE STARTED AND I REMAINED PARKED. THEN I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF, INSTEAD THE LIGHTS FLICKERED ON THE DASH AND THE CAR STAYED ON. I TRIED IT 2 MORE TIMES AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE BUT NOT THE DASH. ALL THE WARNING SIGNS CAME ON THE CAR INCLUDING A BREAK SYSTEMS ERROR AND A TIRE PRESSURE ERROR. AFTER THIS, I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT OF MY FOB AND NOW THE CAR BATTERY IS DEAD. I POWERED UP THE BATTERY TODAY BUT THE CAR WON'T START. THE DASH TURNS ON BUT THEN IT JUST FLICKERS AND GIVES ME ALL THE SAME WARNING SIGNS. I FOUND THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2016 CIVICS AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2017 AND 2018 CIVIC AS WELL. MINE IS A 2017 CIVI AND IT'S HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES THAT COULD BE DEADLY IF THEY HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY.

THE HONDA SENSING BRAKE SYSTEM SEEMS TO MORE ANNOYING THAN HELPFUL. EVEN ADJUSTING THE DIFFERENT SENSOR LENGTHS ISN'T HELPING. OFTEN, THE CAR STARTS TO BRAKE WHEN IT IS NOT NEEDED. A FEW DAYS AGO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME DECIDED TO MAKE A U-TURN AT A LEFT TURN ARROW THAT SAID NO U-TURNS. MY CAR DECIDED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE A LITTLE IN THE WAY. IT GETS WORSE: I COULD NOT OVERRIDE THE BRAKES WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PETAL TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WAY. I WAS STUCK IN PLACE FOR LONGER THAN NECESSARY. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME! I DON'T MIND IF THE SENSING SYSTEM NOTIFIES ME WITH BEEPS, BELLS, AND WHISTLES. JUST DON'T BRAKE FOR ME! *TR

AFTER PARKING IN MY DRIVEWAY, PLACING THE PARKING BRAKE ON, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND EXISTING THE VEHICLE, MY PARKING BRAKE GAVE OUT ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER. MY CAR ROLLED DOWN MY SHORT DRIVEWAY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS CLOSE BY, HOPPED IN THE MOVING CAR AS IT REACHED MY STREET AND MANUALLY PUSHED DOWN THE BRAKE. AS I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE PARKING BRAKE SIGNAL SHOWED THE PARKING BRAKE WAS STILL ENGAGED. IT APPEARS THE PARKING BRAKE IS DEFECTIVE. THE PARKING BRAKE SHOULD NOT (AND CANNOT) RELEASE. EVER. IF I WERE PARKED ON A PUBLIC STREET, I COULD HAVE HARMED ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN.
