Last week, we reported that Tesla is the subject of a new investigation<\/a> by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration due to its cars’ propensity to inappropriately activate their emergency braking function. This week, it’s Honda’s turn in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

The NHTSA opened a preliminary investigation into the problem on February 21<\/a>, after receiving 278 complaints about cars that suddenly decelerated despite nothing in their path.<\/p>\n

The problem affects approximately 1.7 million cars in total, split between model year 2017-2019 CR-V crossovers and 2018-2019 Accord sedans. (It’s worth noting that when we reviewed the 2018 Honda Accord<\/a>, we specifically called out the sensitivity of its forward collision warning system, although we did not experience any automatic emergency brake activations.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
