NHTSA summary
On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles. The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.

What owners wrote

“At times, the steering wheel becomes hard to turn exactly like changing lanes when the lane assist is on. This occurs when lane assist is off!”

“The lane keeping assist system problem contact your dealer keeps appearing on my dashboard when I start the car and pull away.”

“When driving at 70-75 mph with adaptive cruise set, the steering wheel feels like it locks and won’t turn But when you add force, it breaks loose. This is not lane keeping assist, it is something different. It is getting worse but the Honda Dealership says they can’t replicate it. It appears to be getting worse over time and I’m afraid it could cause an accident by completely locking up the steering wheel.”

Filed Apr 24, 2024

“Lane departure system malfunctioning. Lane departure warning comes on when driving in center of lane with both lane detection indicators green.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 2 of 28 reports involved a crash and 2 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
