1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 10/12/2025

The front camera failure. Needs replacement. Camera apparently is used for the acc , lane departure assistance.

2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2025

While operating the vehicle, multiple driver-assist warning indicators illuminated on the dashboard, including lkas (lane keeping assist system), acc (adaptive cruise control), and cmbs (collision mitigation braking system). The systems either disengaged or functioned erratically during normal driving conditions. At times, the vehicle failed to maintain lane position, abruptly disengaged adaptive cruise control, or displayed collision alerts when no obstruction was present. Now it is constant. Safety impact: the failure of the lkas, acc, and related systems can cause unexpected loss of vehicle assist functions, leading to abrupt speed changes or compromised lane control, increasing the risk of collision if not promptly corrected.

3 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2025

5 waning lights on : adaptive cruise control , lane departure warning , lane keeping assistance , front light, and the emergency braking . Service crew at Acura dealer told me that the front multipurpose camera has internal error. It is very dangerous since all these functions must be fixed before I can drive it on road.

4 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2022

My vehicle has similar behaviors to the most recent investigation that is happening with the investigation of the Honda accord and crv noted in this article: https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/inv/2022/inoa-pe22003-5540. Pdf. On a handful of times while driving on the freeway, my car has unexpectedly decelerated when passing another vehicle, or on a curve the adaptive cruise control slows the vehicle down. On one occasion, the car suddenly applied the brakes and slowed us down at least 10mph. In any of these instances, I have not had anyone following, but could have caused issues if there was.
