2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2019 Honda HR-V

Failure Date: 08/01/2026

The 2019 Honda hrv with low miles of around 44,000 miles experienced a series of warning alerts on the dash board consisting of the following list of five problems: road departure mitigation system problem; auto high-beam problem; adaptive cruise control problem acc; lane keeping assist problem lkas; and collision mitigation system problem. This started with warm weather at the end of July 2026 and is continuing intermittently in August 2026 as of the date of this write up. I described this to a Honda service person verbally in person in huntington beach, CA and they said it was a multipurpose camera problem and could fix it for $1,971. 23 plus tax. They indicated that the camera was improved so it wouldn't fail so easily. The vehicle has not been physically inspected by dealer service staff yet. With all these safety features potetially not functiing at times creates great safety risk (e. G. , adaptive cruise control is not really on when you think it is and the car could rear end another vehicle in front especially if the collision mitigation sytem is also malfunctioning). Car with low miles and in great shape otherwise. No significant accidents. No cracked or replaced windshield. Have a large 113mb video if needed of dashboard problem warnings.

Failure Date: 11/01/2025

The whole radar that controls collision mitigation, steering, lane departure, etc. Quit working. The car is only a few years old. All these lights go off in the car often times causing the car not to work properly. When we went to the dealership, the maintenance man said that this is a common issue due to the fact that they put the radar system in a location that gets overheated. We filed a claim, but they only will pay for a small portion of it to be repaired. Many of these cars have the same issue.

While on cruise control on the freeway, car suddenly decelerated 20+ mph. There was nothing ahead of me on the road at the time, no cars, no debris or construction materials, nothing. I was nearly rear ended. Car has not been inspected yet. Many alerts go off on the dash for unexplained reasons - that various safety mitigation systems are offline due to debris on windshield for example, when the windshield is totally clean. But there were no alerts prior to this deceleration at all. Drivers side speaker shorts out intermittently. Car is available for inspection on request. I haven't used cruise control since this incident.

22 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2019 Honda HR-V

Failure Date: 07/03/2024

Around July 2024 my 2019 hrv began displaying warnings regarding the Honda sensing camera and the features associated with it. After spending my own time and money diagnosing the issue, the dealership explained the Honda sensing camera is malfunctioning. Without any further explanation they expected me to pay almost $2,000 to fix it. Now my car will not pass inspection unless I pay out of pocket to fix the malfunctioning camera despite the lack of reasoning. This feature should be removed from Honda vehicles if it is going to malfunction for no reason.

23 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2019 Honda HR-V

Failure Date: 04/25/2021

My vehicle stopped in the middle of the highway without any warning. This was a very scary and dangerous experience.

My vehicle was completely disabled and had to be towed. The Honda dealer said it was nothing based on diagnostics and they're not sure why this happened.
