Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2020 Honda Odyssey

The multipurpose camera unit failed causing the forward collision warning, automatic braking, lane keeping assistance, and lane departure warnings lights to come on and rendering all those systems inoperable. Part of the selling point of this vehicle is these additional safety features and for them to fail within 5 years of owning the vehicle is a safety concern. From my own research online, it seems this is a common problem for Odysseys built around this timeframe. This part is extremely expensive and is a required repair if you want the original safety features for the vehicle. I made the repairs, but the life of these units is something that should be looked into.

Multiple Honda sensing safety systems (collision mitigation, lane keeping, road departure, adaptive cruise, and auto high?beam) disabled suddenly on 2020 Honda Odyssey ex?l around 76,000 mi. Dealer and two independent diagnostics confirmed dtc u3000?49, internal electronic failure of the forward recognition camera. The fault disables all automatic braking and lane?keeping functions. Battery voltage and calibration verified ok; component failure is internal. Honda quoted ~$2,000 repair. This is a significant safety risk since all advertised crash?avoidance functions stop working.

The multipurpose camera module has failed, on the vehicle resulting in the simultaneous loss of several driver-assistance and safety systems while the vehicle is in operation. These systems include cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, collision mitigation, automatic high beams, and the brake system warning. Upon inspection, there appears to be overheating within the camera module. This overheating has caused visible discoloration both inside and outside the module housing. Based on these observations, I believe the condition may present a potential fire hazard. Additionally, the plastic cover mounted to the windshield becomes extremely hot to the touch, creating a risk of skin burns if it is accidentally contacted. This malfunction poses a significant safety concern for my family. If the camera fails while driving, the vehicle’s safety systems may not function as intended, increasing the risk of an accident. All of the failures chime in one after another displaying a problem with the malfunctioning components stated earlier in the text. Furthermore, if a driver is deaf or not actively monitoring the instrument panel or speedometer, they may not hear or immediately notice the warning alerts indicating that these systems are no longer functioning. The issue has been diagnosed by my local repair shop finding error code u3000-camera/radar internal failure. Repair requires replacement of the multipurpose camera module, with an estimated cost exceeding $2,000 in parts and labor, which represents a significant financial burden.

All of the warning lights shows up on the dash board. Honda told me it’s related to a bad multi purpose camera. None of the safety features or cruise control will work until the camera is fixed.

My Honda's multipurpose camera system has failed without warning or apparent cause. Upon starting my vehicle, I now receive multiple alert lights indicating simultaneous failures in critical safety systems including: adaptive cruise control (acc) lane keeping assist system (lkas) collision mitigation system road departure mitigation system auto high beam functionality occasionally, all the system failure alerts go away. According to my local Honda dealership, this represents an "internal failure" of the multipurpose camera unit (code u300-49). The dealership wants >$2,000 to fix the issue that appears to be a widespread known problem. There was no warning before the complete system shutdown, and all safety features connected to this camera are now non-functional.

Front facing camera went out on a 2020 model. Several warning lights appear related to lane assist, front collision warnings, and automatic emergency braking. These safety features are important, and Honda should issue a recall. The camera is around $800 to replace, plus another $800-$1000 to install and calibrate. Car is only 5 years old, and there have been other camera/electrical related problems, and many recalls. Please hold Honda accountable to fix their declining reliability issues.

The vehicle automatically brakes when approaching a small bridge crossing that had a slight 2 inch lip from pavement to bridge concrete , it also tries to alert of a collision when going around a slight curve when a vehicle is passing .

Multiple warnings regarding adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning problems. Honda says it is the front multi-camera. The vehicle works fine intermittently, but doesn’t more often than not. Issue started to occur shortly after a wiring harness recall.

The front camera that controls adaptive system died within 4years of owning the vehicle so all the warning lights come on now.

The multifunction forward looking camera in the top of the windshield developed an "internal fault" and either needs replacement or these safety features will fail to work. These safety features allow me to avoid accidents. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. There are warning lamps that state that these features are no longer working.

__ the present complaint alleges as follows: 1. Honda has a defective design in the advanced driver assistance systems (adas) of all Honda Odysseys, models 2018-2023. 2. Namely, Honda has placed the radar behind the large Honda emblem on the front grille. This causes the radar to give a "radar obstructed" warning, which disables all advanced driver assistance systems in the car (automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning). 3. The "radar obstructed" warning cannot be reset by restarting the vehicle or disconnecting the battery, requiring recalibration of the radar at the cost of $800 each time since it takes several hours to do (per dealership). 4. The official Honda Odyssey forum online has countless complaints on the same issue without resolution by Honda. 5. Honda has acted in bad-faith towards their customers since this defect impacts the vehicle's advanced safety features for which buyers incur additional expenses, endangering the lives of passengers. 6. Honda has acted in bad-faith towards their customers by designing a system that requires continuous and substantial expenditures without resolution because it is an engineering problem, I. E. , the placement of the radar behind the large, thick plastic h emblem obstructs the radar. 7. I hereby ask that the NHTSA investigate this issue and order Honda to offer a solution in the form of a recall that permanently addresses the problem.

The front camera has failed for apparently no reason at all. There has been no crash, no damage on our end. We turned the car on and all of the safety warnings came on. The dealership has inspected it and said the code is for the camera failing. Many warning lights appear on the dash due to none of the safety features working without the front camera. This has caused all of the adaptive safety features to fail. There have been no recalls yet, despite the recalls for the rear camera, and many other Odyssey owners having the same issue with the front camera. We have reported it to Honda and were told that it has been reported by others, but not enough times to issue a recall. It is expensive to fix and poses a serious danger to leave due to none of the safety features working. This is a manufacturing defect that Honda is not taking seriously.

I just started up the car one morning and had multiple sensor warnings. Brought it to the Honda dealership and told it was an internal sensor camera malfunction and wanted $2000+ to fix it. This honestly should be a recall as I’ve had several other Honda owners complaining about the same thing which is a huge safety concern.

It’s starting raining and the brake system light came on and hasn’t went off.

The multipurpose camera above the rearview mirror has stopped working. It controls several systems including; adaptive cruise control, automatic brake system, forward collision warning, lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, automatic high beam control. Every time I start the vehicle I have to clear 6 different malfunction warnings and non of the effected systems will function. There is an increased risk of accidents. I just had a vehicle diagnostic ran at flow Honda of charlottesville va and they quoted me a price of $2,060 to replace the part.

I was driving, and there was a car coming from the opposite direction in their own lane, and nowhere near my car, and the automatic braking slammed on the brakes. This was just the worst instance of it malfunctioing.

There are five warning indicator on the dashboard complaining about adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assistance. I took the car to the Honda dealership, and they acknowledged that they were due toan internal failure of the multipurpose camera.

Our vehicle is only a few years old and the front camera failed. It will not do any automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, etc. Honda refuses to cover this even though it is a manufacturer defect.

Was driving to work while raining. Hit a water puddle hydroplaned, the stop brake warning light came,vehiical slammed on the brakes, and the steering wheel locked up. There where not other vehicals on the road. Rolled the vehical 3 times. On several occasions our Honda van has slammed on the brakes without any vehicle or obstacle present.

This event happens intermittently, and has occurred approximately 4 times. When the issue occurs it happens as follows: 1. Vehicle comes to a complete stop, and driver's foot has depressed brake pedal 2. Vehicle automatic start/stop feature turns off engine. 3. Driver lifts foot off pedal, begins to apply pressure to gas pedal. 4. Vehicle automatically re-starts engine 5. Vehicle starts to move forward, and then lurches - it feels like the brakes are being applied by the vehicle independently from the driver's action. 6. Alerts start appearing on the dashboard - a message that the forward collision warning system has been disabled and the "brake" light starts flashing for 30 seconds to a minute afterwards. 7. Vehicle then starts to move forward without issue, collision system message goes away, but brake light on instrument cluster continues to flash for a period of time. This issue presents a safety risk as the vehicle does not respond to driver's input as expected when this issue occurs, appears to brake on its own. Interferes with a driver's ability to move through an intersection after stoping. I have taken the vehicle to a Honda dealership (penske Honda, indianapolis indiana) and they were unable to replicate the issue and did not find any stored error codes in the vehicle comptuer.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while the vehicle was at a complete stop at the traffic light, the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) warning light illuminated and a message indicating to shift to park(p) was displayed. The contact shifted to park and shifted back into drive(d); however, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact stated that he turned off and restarted the vehicle and was able to drive to his destination. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.

On several occasions our Honda van has slammed on the brakes without any vehicle or obstacle present. The automatic braking system has worked properly when someone ahead brakes aggressively . . . But the instances I'm talking about have occur without vehicles in our lane. 1 time it was coming around a turn and I almost lost control of the steering since I wasn't expecting a hard brake. I haven't gotten it inspected or looked at. The safety feature seems to work properly but then will sense something that isn't there.

Continuously intermittent lose of all main dash board information to include speed, all advanced safety features, display goes totally black. Continuously intermittent lose of infotainment system. Includes radio, gps, backup camera and all other options.

While parking and approaching another car in a parking lot, the van automatic braking system randomly started blinking and the brakes automatically applied, pulsating and grinding loudly for several seconds for no reason. I believe my safety and my passengers safety was at risk. The problem was random and not reproduced since it happened. The vehicle was not inspected. No warning lamps or symptoms appeared prior to this occurring and have not occurred since. It was a scary experience, I assumed it was some kind of electronic glitch.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would intermittently brake independently as the brake warning symbol would flash on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the steering wheel would shake during the failure. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where it remained in their possession. The dealer stated that the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.

Major safety concern (brake fail during driving) with new 2020 Honda Odyssey with 2618 miles driven. Brake made loud squeak noise right after purchase and took it to local Honda dealership where car was purchased 4 times. Honda dealership resurfaced rotor 2 different times. About 12-14 days ago, Honda Odyssey brake failed when going down at slight grade. When brake paddle was applied, entire van, including steering wheel shake and van failed to stop. My driving habit of leaving large gap between vehicle saved my life. It took approximately 1/3 or 0. 33 mile to bring car to stop. I saved my life along with other on road on this incident. Van is parked in garage and not being driven until Honda north America and/or NHTSA | national highway traffic safety administration inspect the vehicle.
