American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (“Honda”) continues to fight a class action regarding dangerous defects in its Honda Sensing safety and driver-assist systems. As many Honda CR-V owners have experienced, Honda Sensing technology makes Honda CR-V vehicles more dangerous because of frequent defects that cause numerous warning messages to appear on CR-V instrument clusters, that cause the vehicles to fluctuate their highway speeds without warning when adaptive cruise control is set, that cause vehicles to apply brakes immediately even though no obstruction is present, and that cause vehicles to steer themselves outside lanes of travel. Needless to say, these defects are dangerous to both the occupants of the CR-V vehicles and to other drivers and pedestrians on the roads.
While the class action continues to wind its way through Court, people who own a Honda CR-V or any other vehicle with the Honda Sensing system that have experienced this defect may have more protection in an individual lemon law claim. California’s lemon law requires that safety defects like those involving Honda’s Sensing Safety system must be repaired in no more than two repair attempts, and if Honda or its dealers are unable to promptly repair the issue Honda may be required to repurchase the vehicle.
If your vehicle has been serviced multiple times for a safety defect pursuant to the factory warranty, please contact us for a free evaluation.
