2 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2023

Similar to the Honda recall issued today for the reverse camera failures, I have found a recurring problem with the 2016 Honda Civics. The dashboard screen should show the back-up camera when in reverse, as well as the backward-facing camera mounted on the right side mirror when the right turn signal is on. More often than not, the cameras will show on the screen, but will then go back to the home/default screen before the maneuver is complete. It happens more often with the right mirror mounted camera, that it turns off prior to the turn signal being turned off, which has caused us numerous close calls when someone is actually in the blind spot. We count on that right side camera and when it malfunctions and the screen goes back to default when you are in the middle of changing lanes, it is very scary. I have searched for a fix from Honda and have noted that there are many Honda Civic owners who have been told by dealers that it is a known issue but there is no fix. For the owners who have gotten a new screen installed, they continue to report the same issues. Additional screen issues (although not related to safety) include the fact that the screens change modes/functions without being touched. I believe the camera issue is a malfunctioning screen issue as a whole and causes a major safety concern. The current recall for Honda odyssey, passport, and pilot cameras should be expanded to include other Honda models and other years and should look at malfunctioning screens (not just cameras), especially since this is allegedly a 'known issue' to Honda.
