Honda Sensing Phantom Braking
The Collision Mitigation Braking System activates unexpectedly when no obstacle is present. NHTSA expanded investigation EA22-001 to cover 2018-2022 Accord models after receiving hundreds of complaints about sudden, unprovoked braking on highways and surface streets.
Honda has released software updates to recalibrate CMBS radar sensitivity. Keep the windshield and front radar sensor area clean. Visit the dealer for the latest Honda Sensing calibration. If events persist, the millimeter-wave radar module may require replacement.
Est. Cost: $0 for software update; $400 - $900 for radar moduleVSA Modulator Brake Fluid Leak (Recall)
A ball valve in the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) modulator may leak brake fluid internally. Symptoms include unintended vehicle creep when the Brake Hold feature is engaged at a stop, or a soft/spongy brake pedal with increased travel. This condition can lead to reduced braking performance.
Honda issued a recall to replace the VSA modulator free of charge. Do not rely on the Brake Hold feature if you notice the vehicle creeping. Contact your dealer to check recall eligibility for your VIN.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallFront Suspension Noise (Creak, Pop, Click)
A dull creaking, rubbing, popping, or clicking noise comes from the front of the vehicle while turning at low speeds. The noise is caused by the bump stop contacting the top of the front damper body, particularly noticeable over speed bumps and during parking maneuvers.
Honda issued a TSB to apply a lubricant to the bump stop and damper body contact area, or replace the front bump stops with an updated design. The repair typically takes about an hour per side.
Est. Cost: $0 - $200 (often covered under warranty)Fuel Pump Failure (Recall)
The low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail, causing the engine to stall while driving. Symptoms include rough idle, power loss, and the engine shutting off without warning, creating a dangerous situation especially at highway speeds.
Honda issued recall 23V-858 to replace the fuel pump module free of charge. This recall expands earlier campaigns 21V-215 and 20V-314. Contact your dealer with your VIN to verify eligibility.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallRear Brake Noise in Reverse
A grinding, squealing, or scraping noise comes from the rear brakes when the vehicle is driven in reverse, particularly noticeable in the morning or after the vehicle has sat for several hours. The noise is caused by light rust buildup on the rear disc rotors overnight.
Honda issued a TSB acknowledging this as a characteristic of the brake pad compound and rotor material. In persistent cases, the dealer may resurface the rotors or install updated brake pads with a different friction material. Light brake application while reversing can help clear the rust.
Est. Cost: $0 - $300
