Honda Accord and CR-V Automatic Braking Lawsuit

Our auto defect attorneys filed a class action lawsuit against Honda alleging that the automatic emergency braking system in certain Honda CR-Vs and Honda Accords is defective, endangering Honda drivers, passengers, and others on the road.

According to the lawsuit complaint, the Honda Sensing system in certain model year Honda CR-Vs and Honda Accords may suddenly activate for no apparent reason. Drivers have reported that sometimes while driving at highway speeds, their vehicle will slam on the brakes automatically even though there is nothing on the road in front of them. Some drivers report that they have made Honda aware of the problem, but have been told there is no fix available.

On June 24, 2024, the Court agreed with us that this case meets the requirements of a class action, allowing our lawsuit to proceed on behalf of eight classes of consumers. The plaintiffs named in the lawsuit will now represent everyone who purchased a Class Vehicle from a Honda-authorized dealership in the following states:

  • California  
  • Florida 
  • New York  
  • Ohio
  • North Carolina  
  • New Jersey  
  • Arizona 
  • Iowa   

The Court defined “Class Vehicles” as “any model year 2017–2019 Honda CR-V or model year 2018–2020 Honda Accord, excluding vehicles designated as ‘Fleet’ orders in Honda’s sales data.”
