Will engage brakes when nothing is present, when going around a curve, or certain times when the sun shines just right. The other day it did so causing a jarring pain to now be present in my back.

See attached document for complaint

My name is [XXX] , I am the owner of a 2022 Honda Pilot, and the safety of this vehicle is now of great concern to me. My vehicle has done up to 35,000 mileages. On Friday, [XXX] as I was driving on the highway, this vehicle suddenly stopped without warning. All the lights on the dashboard came up and I received 5 messages indicating that the following had problems: Emission System, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), Electric Power Steering, Transmission System, and Adaptive Cruise Control. This is a very dangerous and life-threatening hard stop that occurred in the middle of the highway, and I had to tow the vehicle to the DACARS Honda Dealership in Bowie, Maryland. I must state that my service history is up to date as of the time of this incident. The dealership carried out a diagnosis and confirmed all the problems from the messages that I received and agreed to fix them because the vehicle is still under Manufacturer's Warranty. I am really concerned about the safety of this vehicle and the lives of other owners and road users who may not be as lucky as I was on [XXX]. I recommend a very detailed safety evaluation on this Model of Honda and if possible, immediately instruct the replacement of all the safety problems/parts listed above pending the outcome of this investigation/evaluation, and ultimately instruct a recall of this model of Honda. Thank you. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Something with the brakes and the car performing it’s safety measures when unnecessary It hesitate

My brakes don’t working properly I feel a vibration when I brake and I have been close to colliding with vehicles and the emergency brake does not respond

The brake pedal is unusually soft/spongey. Brakes does not engage until pedal travels further impairing vehicle's ability to make a prompt emergent stop and increasing the risk of a crash or injury. The dealer could not verify or confirm the problem on two occasions. However, the dealer never inspected the brake master cylinder connection to the brake booster assembly; the vehicle was not determined a subject of the NHTSA Safety Recall 23E-040 or/and NHTSA Safety Recall 23V-458. The problem first appeared on 02/03/2023 and was reported to the dealer on 02/04/2023 before the issuance of these two safety recalls mentioned above. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure other than the aforementioned unusual brake pedal softness. The subject vehicle is available for inspection.

SUV(Honda Pilot 2022) continues to brake. and lose power after brake pedal has been released causing unsafe and un controlled stopping. ( No warning lights or errors ) We have almost been rear ended do to this. Taken back to dealer to repair after only 200 miles on SUV. Dealer replaced antilock brake module. After repairs SUV seemed to brake normally for about one week then started doing the same thing again but way worse, to the point we didnt think we could make it home. The sticking brakes, loss of power to the SUV got so bad that it was unsafe to operate and was towed to the dealer awaiting another repair...in shop now two times with less then 500 miles for same exact safety issue. This braking issue could possibly cause serious accidents if not remedied soon. Hearing stories other 2022 Hondas are dealing with this issue as well....hoping no one gets seriously hurt if issue is left unaddressed
