Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA filed August 13, 2024

NHTSA complaint #2015994 (ODI reference 11608348) concerns a 2018 HONDA ACCORD and was filed on August 13, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 12, 2024. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance: sensing system: camera, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA ACCORD cohort independently describe similar forward collision avoidance: sensing system: camera failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2018 HONDA ACCORD shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

My car will suddenly brake hard on its own with nothing in front of it at random times. The dash may or may not say BRAKE when this happens. This did not start until I had my windshield replaced. I have had the windshield camera recalibrated twice and it's still randomly stopping on its own.
