2019 Honda HR-V Brakes Problems

2019 Honda HRV with 14,539 miles has been showing on the instrumentation brake failure; this warning only lasts 1/2 to 1 second with a chirp warning . Took to vehicle Honda dealership twice under warranty and could not be replicated. August 2025 took the vehicle to a local repair garage; replaced the two rear caliber motors and the electric power parking brake after the local garage conducted research on this problem on the internet. All replaced equipment are OEM equipment manufactured by Honda Motors. Solve the brake failure warning for 6 months before the brake failure warning appears on the instrumentation counsel.

The Multipurpose camera that controls all advanced driver assistance fuctions malfunctions causing these systems to intermittenently not work properly or at all. It has caused the vehicle to fail to brake, and brake on its own without cause. Upon doing my own research I found numerous reports online of other owners of this make/model having the same issue. The problem first occured when my vehicle reached about 50,000 miles. It has been ongoing since. It caused damage to my vehicle when the automatic collision assist failed to brake for a vehicle that stopped abruptly in front of me. The alerts that these systems are not working do not always show up when the vehicle starts. Sometimes they stop working in the middle of the route. I have been in correspondence with the dealership who informed me the cost to fix this issue is $1968 (this does not include the $150 diagnostic fee while the vehicle was being serviced for a recall related to the fuel pump - I already paid to the dealer that fee and for which I've attached my receipt.) There is clearly some issue with the part that was installed by the manufacturer. It makes the vehicle unsafe to drive not knowing if these systems will fail or malfunction at any given moment. I do not feel as the customer this should be my responsibility to have repaired, as many others report the same issue with this part. There is clearly a widespread issue that needs to be addressed in a recall in order to replace the faulty part.

Driving and car suddenly will stop completely then accelerate. Has happened many times. Most recently last Sunday while passing a slowing car that was making a right hand turn into a driveway.

Received dash warning "Brake Hold System Problem" ."Electric parking brake system problem parking brake not available. See your dealer".

I ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND I WAS DRIVING UP A BRIDGE WHEN TRAFFIC CAME TO A SCREETCHING STOP. I SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS AND MY HR-V DID NOT SLOW DOWN AS IT SHOULD HAVE. I HAD A 2018 HONDA CIVIC FOR 3 YEARS BEFORE THIS AND THEY DRIVE IN A SIMILAR WAY. I ALSO HAVE DRIVEN OLD, HUGE, HEAVY TRUCKS AND SUVS FOR YEARS. I'VE EVEN DRIVEN ON ICE AND I LIVED IN ONE OF THE SNOWIEST PLACES ON EARTH (LITERALLY) AND HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE NOT STOP IN THIS WAY... I AM REALLY CONCERNED AND I GOT INTO MY FIRST ACCIDENT, EVER. AFTER HAVING THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 3 WEEKS.

I LEFT MY CAR PARKED WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK ENGAGED AT HOME FOR 3 DAYS. I JUST TRIED TO START MY CAR AND THE EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK LIGHT FLASHES WHEN I JUST STEP ON THE BREAK PEDDLE. WHEN I ATTEMPTED START THE CAR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE THE IGNITION, MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE BREAK SYSTEM, BATTERY,ABS, BREAKS, LOW TIRE PRESSURE, AWD, AND PARKING ENGAGE LIGHT ALL START FLASHING, AND THE RIGHT INFO SCREEN DISPLAYED THE ERROR MESSAGE OF EMERGENCY BREAK ISSUE, CONTACT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES ATTEMPTING TO GET THE CAR TO START NOW THE LIGHT FOR THE E PARKING BREAK LIGHT FLASHES AND THE ENGINE START STOP BUTTON LIGHTS WHITE WHEN I ENGAGE THE BREAK PEDDLE. I HAVE CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE BUT HAVE NO FURTHER INFORMATION TO THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. I HOPE IT IS JUST MY BATTERY DIEING FROM THE E BREAK, BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD KILL THE BATTERY. IT HAS NOT REACHED BELOW FREEZING FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS BUT HAS GOTTEN TO THE HIGH 30F.

MY BRAKE ASSIST SAFETY ALERTS DO NOT WORK AS SPECIFIED. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS; COMMUNICATED TO HONDA CORPORATE ([XXX]) W/O RESOLUTION. I JUST HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE I ALMOST REAR ENDED A VEHICLE WHILE MOVING AHEAD OF ME WITH NO ALERT FROM MY VEHICLE. ONE WAS APPROACHING A TOLL BOOTH; THE OTHER AT A EXIT- WHERE A CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED.THE STEERING WHEEL NEVER VIBRATES AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO AND THE ALERTS ARE RANDOM - SOMETIMES I SEE ON OR HEAR ONE. THE SETTINGS FOR DISTANCE TO SET ALERTS HAVE NO RELEVANCE. I HAVE EXHAUSED MY RESOURCES TO DEAL WITH THIS. THE DEALERSHIP (HERTRICH IN EASTON MD) FALSIFIED A REPORT OF FINDINGS WHEN I TEST DROVE IT WITH THIER MECHANIC. HE COULDNT EVEN TELL ME HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK. THE REGIONAL REP FOR HONDA TEST DROVE WITH ME TO DEMONSTRATE HOW IT SHOULD WORK - IT PASSED IN ALL BU ONE INSTANCE. RICHARD, THE NATIONAL REP FOR HONDA WILL NO LONGER RETURN MY CALLS - 800-999-1009 X87147 (CASE [XXX]). I HAVE EXHAUSTED MY OPTIONS FOR GETTING THIS RESOLVED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY ASSUMED SAFETY WITH THIS FEATURE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT
