36 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2025

All the safety systems randomly disable themselves while driving and throw this code. Next time the vehicle starts, sometimes they are gone, then come back while driving, other times they are there from the start. U0104(00) [0xc10400] data bus, cruise control module - no communication.

37 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2025

Driving on the freeway my lane keeping assistance, automatic emergency breaking, and adaptive cruise control warnings were flashing. The prompts keep my focus off the road as the beeps and flashing orange lights cannot be disabled. During my drive, the multicamera on the windshield seems to be malfunctions and often I would get a signal of on coming traffic and my steering wheel would vibrate to prompt me to move. This can be extremely terrifying and sometimes caused me to swerve, potentially hitting other cars. The multicamera needs to be recalled and fixed.

38 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2025

It seems the front dash camera failed to operate which caused all safety systems that rely on it to fail.

39 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 04/14/2025

I was unable to utilize my cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure or any of the features that is related to the Honda sensing program. I was told by the Honda dealership that it was the camera refocusing and continue to refocus which leads for it to overheat.

40 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2025

Adas system failure. An audible alert would sound and the following problems would scroll across dash display: auto high-beam problem; adaptive cruise control problem; lane keeping assist problem; collision mitigation system problem; road departure mitigation system problem. Also, "brake system' illuminated in red near bottom of display. Diagnostic at Honda dealer indicated, "u3000-49 multipurpose camera unit internal electronic failure". To repair, the quote for the unit itself was $1201. 34 plus tax. Calibration was an additional $660. 00. I found the unit online at a better price and so purchased it and had the dealer install. My total cost for the unit and installation/calibration was $1. 496. 74. Even though it is a 2018 model I would have expected this camera unit to last much longer. It's an expensive part! my hope would be for Honda to issue an extended warranty and I'd be eligible for compensation on this repair. If needed I can provide paperwork. Please advise. Thank you.

41 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/26/2025

The multipurpose camera on the windshield needs to be recalibrated and I've been told by dealerships that this is a common problem with 2018 Honda Odyssey. Unless I pay over $2000 to have the camera recalibrated, systems including the antilock brake system do not work.

42 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2025

The front camera has failed resulting in safety concerns including braking system and cruise control failure. This is a known issue with many new Honda Odysseys and needs to be recalled as it is not safe to drive as it disables all Honda sensing and auto braking components on the vehicle.

43 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2025

2018 Odyssey elite with 43k miles. Apparently, the front facing camera failed and if the camera fails -- which seems to have been reported by many other owners -- it's about a $1700 fix from a dealer. Not only should the camera not fail, but this is happening to cars that are low miles, low use, and the failure affects all camera-related safety features of the vehicle: lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, parking collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.

44 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2025

Multiple warnings occurred simultaneously for the "brake system" intermittent. I have the same issue per [xxx] for my Honda Odyssey 2018 elite. I can see the same problem by a lot of people. I told Honda and paid them $220 diagnosis fees and they ended up asked me to change the whole camera that cost 4k. This obviously defect issue from Honda. Looks like known issue for this. Can this escalate back to Honda? for example [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

45 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2025

Upon starting the vehicle we get the following warning lights: road departure mitigation system problem blind spot info system problem adaptive cruise control problem lane keeping assist problem transmission system problem collision mitigation system problem the vehicle is drivable but none of our safety features work. We took it to a local shop that was close and they said it’s a known issue with Honda and that the monocular camera located in the windshield is malfunctioning.

46 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2025

Upon startup of the vehicle the following warnings flash on the dash: "auto high-beam problem, acc adaptive cruise control problem, lkas lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem. " this problem is easily reproduced and occurs almost every time I start my vehicle. I had my battery tested and it was reported to be good. The vehicle still drives correctly, but none of the safety features listed above work. If these features are going to be mandated on newer vehicles they should be reliable and function correctly. I will never buy another Honda vehicle!.

47 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 01/24/2025

The front facing monocular camera has failed and my 2018 Odyssey has less than 55k miles on it. Without the operation of this camera you cannot use the cruise control and the dash lights up with all kinds of warnings (lane mitigation failure, acc failure, brake light continuously on). This is a known faulty safety feature that is far to common for the newer Odyssey models. This is ridiculous that Honda has put this system into their vehicles, in particular the Odyssey and there needs to be a service bulletin to repair this issue or recall completely. It is obviously a faulty part and needs to be resolved.

48 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2025

Regularly maintained my Honda dealership. Suddenly get warnings for all safety elements - adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam headlight. Recommended to report as this seems to be a common thing with Honda and needs to be a recall.

49 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2024

I got in and turned on the car one afternoon and all these lights came on. No wrecks or anything has happened. Just all systems have failed. Brake system problem acc problem collision mitigation problem lake keep assist problem auto high beam problem this is a huge safety issue as this vehicle carries my children. We will be taking it to the dealership this week but these types of issues shouldn’t be happing this quickly. We need a recall to fix this issue as many many others have had these same issues. These are safety systems that will save your life!.

50 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 11/14/2024

Multipurpose front camera controlling multiple vehicle safety features had internal failure. Dealer required replacement of camera and calibration. Multiple warning lights came on dashboard to alert of issue. Faulty camera was diagnosed by Honda dealer and is with dealer currently.

51 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2024

Unknown but many Honda Odyssey owners are reporting the same issue which most likely caused by defective multipurpose camera at the front windshield. This create alerts and deactivates safety features: adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, lane keep assist, collision mitigation, auto-high beam, road departure mitigation, and brake system.

52 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2024

Adaptive cruise control, forward collision warnin, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assistance lights came on and won't go away. Sometime the car won't reverse when put in reverse.

53 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2024

The monocular front window camera is malfunctioning. This front window camera controls the following safety features: -lane keep assist (lkas) -collision mitigation -adaptive cruise control -lane departure mitigation -rain sensor windshield wipes -auto high beam -automatic emergency braking in addition to compromising these safety features when the camera fails, false warnings are repeatedly provided on the dash of the vehicle, sometimes in a singular and sometimes in a cyclic manner.

54 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2024

Started my car and got all these warning lights acc problem, collision mitigation problem, lake keep assist problem, auto high beam problem. From reading forums online this is a common issue for Honda Odysseys 2018-2023. The camera is faulty. This should have a recall.

55 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2024

Upon inspection from Honda dealership, internal failure of multipurpose camera.

56 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2024

When I turned on the ignition to drive the vehicle, multiple warning lights came on to include failure of lane keeping assistance, forward collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking. Additionally, after acknowledging these lights, the "brake system" light remained on in the amber color. If these safety features are not working properly, it can put the occupants of my vehicle as well as others at risk. We took the vehicle to the Honda dealer. They ran the diagnostics and stated that the fault was "internal electronic failure of multipurpose camera unit/internal failure of multipurpose camera". We had to replace the multipurpose camera and have the new one re-calibrated.

57 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2024

The front monocular camera (36160-thr-a03) completely stopped working. It is behind the rear view mirror, behind the front windshield. Errors displayed on dashboard indicating lane keep assist, forward collision warning, brake mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and brake system lights turned on. (99% of the time). On occasion, transmission problem, blind spot detection, and rear camera cross traffic detection (radar disabled) would also go on (3% of the time). While driving the vehicle on the freeway, the dashboard went completely black for about 3-5 seconds, and I could not see my speed, fuel, odometer, and everything else. It came back on, but that really concerned me. I immediately opened a ticket with Honda corporate. (repair diagnosis request: 14552995). The root cause was not identified. However, some speculate a failing battery (low voltage) can trigger it. In my case, I replaced the battery first when the symptoms first started, but the issue did not resolve even after driving it 500+ miles. The oddest symptom is something I could not explain. Every Saturday (like clockwork because kids soccer practice), between 12pm-1pm local time (eastern for me), the issue would go away completely and the camera (and all assistive features) would work completely normal. As soon as I power off/on the vehicle, the issue came back immediately… until the next Saturday. This happened 3 times, 3 weeks in a row. Makes me think there’s a software/firmware glitch. Honda did a goodwill with me and paid 50% of parts and labor. Honda (dealership) confirmed it was a part failure, and replaced the part and all issues went away. Given the front camera issue also affected the rear camera on occasion (cross traffic radar failure), and that part was already recalled, my opinion that when this part fails, it has greater implication to other safety features/electrical system. Due to this also being cost prohibitive, I suspect many will opt to not to fix it.

58 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2024

Vehicle started to display acc problem, lkas problem, trnsmission system problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto lights problem and blind spot info system problem recently around September 19,2024 and disabled all the safety features mentioned on the vehicle while it is in motion. This is a huge safety issue and could cause severe problem for many drivers and passengers in case of serious accidents which could be avoided if those systems are functioning properly. Upon researching the issue, this is very common problem for many of similar vehicles and it seems to be related to the monocular camera on the windshield. I strongly urge for quick investigation on this matter and have Honda motors to do a recall for replacing faulty camera as it could impact many lives.

59 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2024

All of the safety features stop working intermittently on my van. The warning lights do all come on. Independent mechanic says the multipurpose camera unit has stopped working. Safety features that I thought I had are not available.

60 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2024

The adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and other safety functions associated with the front camera failed. These safety features are a huge part of the vehicle and doesn't feel safe to drive. The front camera has failed in under 6 years and is currently being replaced by the dealer to hopefully fix these issues. The repair is not covered by Honda.

61 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2024

Regularly maintained my Honda Odyssey elite. Suddenly get warnings for all safety elements while driving - adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam headlight. Recommended to report as this seems to be a common thing with Honda and needs to be a recall. Dealership wants me to change out the radar sensor in the front which seems to be the root cause. Lots of other Honda Odysseys having the same safety issue as reported on NHTSA website.

62 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2024

Multiple warning lights came on, indicating a failure with the front camera sensor attached near the rear view mirror. Errors include: auto high-beams, lane keep warning, collision mitigation system, road departure warning, brake system, and adaptive cruise control failure. All problems stem for the single point of failure - the front-facing sensor/camera located at the top of the windshield. Replacement quotes are $1,800 - $2,500!.

63 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2024

Acc,lkas,collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam warnings. All read problem and do not go away.

64 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2024

Failure of the front windshield mounted monocular camera from overheating causes all advanced driver assistance systems to shut down such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, etc. This is a very common occurrence in not just the Honda Odyssey, but other Honda models as well. A new part can be anywhere from one to two thousand requiring dealer calibration. The heat from the sun, the location of the monocular camera and possible contribution from replaced non-oem windshields may contribute to the overheating. With all safety devices disabled, the vehicle becomes unsafe to operate requiring immediate attention and dealer only service since a new device requires calibration.

65 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2024

Several warnings popped up on my dash at once: adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, brake system, auto highbeam, collision mitigation system, and road departure mitigation system. The dealer’s internet is down for at least several days, so they are not able to troubleshoot the problem. However, an internet search to troubleshoot myself indicates that this is a standing, systemic issue with 2018 and 2019 Honda Odyssey’s that may warrant a recall.

66 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2024

My 2018 Honda Odyssey elite as faulty camera system above rearview mirror according to our local Honda delaer. The dealer is asking for $1700 to replace this item. It is causing multiple warning lights (5) on the dash and now adaptative cruise control, lane keep assist, brake system, and other systems are no longer working. Multiple Honda odyessey owners are having this same issue. We need help getting this issue corrected/fixed by Honda as a recall.

67 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2024

The right sliding door has had intermittent malfunction for years. Often, the door will not work with an automatic function and must be pulled open or closed manually which is nearly impossible to accomplish. Most often the right sliding door malfunction notification appears when driving at highway speeds which is extremely unsafe. This has been inspected by the dealership and no fix or resolution was provided. Recently, all of the adas systems are intermittently malfunctioning. They work about 1 out of every 5 times the vehicle turns on lkas, auto braking, adaptive cruise control, are all affected. Within the last week the internal camera system has been failing, audio stops working, and most importantly the rear hatch has been closing on its own while I am standing underneath it loading the trunk. This is also very unsafe, it atleast beeps to warn that it is closing but I sometimes barely have time to get out of the way. Yesterday while driving in the highway, two warnings appeared simultaneously for “transmission system problem” and “blind spot notification system error”. The vehicle started again without the transmission system or blind spot error but I am very concerned about the degrading electrical system issues that I have been experiencing with this family oriented vehicle model.

68 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2024

The forward camera sensor used in the 5th generation Honda Odyssey touring is experiencing high rates of failure, especially in hot weather. This causes failure of the adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation, and auto high beam systems. The part number of the camera is 36160-thr-a72, 36160-thr-a73, or 36160-thr-a74 depending upon the date of manufacture.
