Warning problems of the 2020 Honda FIT

The adaptive cruise control (acc) system and multipurpose camera unit (part of Honda sensing) on my 2020 Honda Fit malfunction intermittently. On some engine starts the camera and acc function normally. On other starts the camera does not work at all and acc is completely unavailable. The vehicle and the camera/related components remain available for inspection upon request. When the multipurpose camera fails at startup, adaptive cruise control and associated Honda sensing features are completely unavailable. This removes automatic distance control, forward collision warning, and related driver-assistance functions, creating an increased risk of collision, especially during highway driving or in traffic where those systems are relied upon for maintaining safe following distance and providing warnings. It is easy to reproduce. Sundevil auto sees it when servicing my car. I have spoken with many Honda dealers in the phoenix az area and they all say that it happens a lot and that the only solution is to replace it. The failure is intermittent and occurs only on certain engine starts. On the starts when the system fails, the multipurpose camera does not function at all and adaptive cruise control is unavailable. On other starts the camera and acc work normally. No consistent prior warning lamps or messages beyond the complete non-function of the camera and acc on the affected starts have been noted.

Multi-purpose camera failure caused collision warning, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist to fail.
