## Narrative
The Honda is equipped with a Collision Mitigation Braking System.  Traveling at around 40 mph  on a two lane road, one lane in each opposite direction, the orange brake warning light appeared on the dash.  Simultaneously, the brakes were very forcefully applied as if there was going to be an unavoidable collision.  There was nothing in front of the vehicle.  I called the dealer where we purchased the Honda.  The service rep said he had heard of other similar instances, asked what kind of road it was and said to see if it happened again on the same road.  He knew of no known fix for the issue.  My wife, who was in the back seat, and recently had 3 sections of her neck fused, is currently in a lot of pain.  If the road had been a little slippery, all four in the car could have been seriously injured or worse.  If there had been a vehicle close behind us, there is a good chance we would have been rear ended.
