Warning lights for collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control. Lane keeping assistance, auto high beam. Features are now disabled causing safety issue. Dealer confirms issues and recommends repairs that have not not been solved by others online. Errors appeared before battery failure in March 2026. Battery was replaced. Common complaint by many online. Need recall to fix.
While driving the car, several warning lights turned on all at once, saying that the following components were disabled: lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and collision mitigation braking system. Not being able to use these features is more dangerous, not to mention that the warning lights associated with their disabling are distracting (making it likely that, if a more serious warning was flashing, it would not be noticed by the driver) and cannot be turned off without an expensive replacement. Yes, the problem was confirmed by a trusted mechanic (the warning lights will not turn off so it's not hard to confirm), who indicated that the radar camera needed to be replaced. No, the component has not been inspected by others. There was no warning of the problem.
The front camera failure. Needs replacement. Camera apparently is used for the acc , lane departure assistance.
Front camera stopped working at 65 000 miles. Seems to be a faulty part as many hondas and Acuras have the same problem and the dealer wants over $2000 to replace a $700 part that sounds like less than 45 minutes to replace.
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.
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.
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.
