I haven't yet seen in this thread any description of glitches or malfunctions. All seems to work about as expected.
The system has limitations. They are described in the manual. If any of the listed conditions happen, "the system may automatically shut off and the ACC indicator will come on". It also says that the limitations and conditions described in the manual are only "some examples" and there may be other conditions.
One of the listed conditions is "when the speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle in front of you is significantly large."
It also says that the system is not intended for stop and go heavy traffic and roads other than highways and freeways. But people insist on using it at such conditions, because it "seems to work."
A "roadway [that] has merging, split or crossing lines" is also a limitation for LKAS.
Anyone who has any idea of what's technologically possible today with the sensors and the AI that can be used today in cars (in particular cars in this price range) will be rather amazed with what these systems can do in the CivicX than with what they can't do. There are no self-driving cars today in any real sense for any money (despite what Google and other propaganda might say; M.Elon says by the end of next year). Btw. ACC with LSF and LKAS is not self-driving and is not advertised as anything even close to it.
Maybe it would be more convenient if the system didn't shut off at these limiting conditions and require restart of the car, but it is apparently a "safety feature" to cool down those drivers who bought into the science fiction of a self-driving car and keep hitting the limits.
