Phantom braking and steering

[cris_notts]

Hi, I have had my eny1 for 6 months from new. I have had issues with the car giving steering inputs in situations that have put me in danger. More recently the car has on a couple of occasions performed phantom braking, a term I had never heard of until I experienced it. My enY1 has performed emergency breaking when there is no object to avoid. The last time it physically hurt myself as I was not expecting the car to decelerate rapidly from around 60mph to about 40mph. The car has been back to the dealer but Honda remains confident there is no issue with the car and has not found a fault. Which leaves me with a car that has on several occasions put me in serious danger of being crashed into, and once steered me into oncoming traffic for no reason pulling against my steering input. In all of these incidents I have had none of the assistance modules on, however the car still has assisted incorrectly and dangerously. I see there is a case in America for phantom braking for Honda cars, but nothing specific here for the eny1. Has anyone else had experience of this. The car and sensors are kept clean, and this is not a one off. It only seems to happen when the car is going over 40mph which is why it becomes more dangerous. It has done it twice on the motorway with the assistance module on, but does it frequently when I am driving on country roads which I cannot avoid.

I’ve had similar on my HR-V, when on cruise control on motorways and overtaking on curves it can pick up lorries ahead, bit scary when it slows down in outside lane

You should try a Mercedes when their active lane keep activates though, terrifying

If you have a dashcam installed and it shows the incidents happening, then submit that to Honda UK.

If you don't have one fitted, you may want to consider doing so.
