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 following safety warnings were displayed on my 2020 Odyssey dashboard as early as January 2025: road departure mitigation system problem auto high-beam problem adaptive cruise control problem lane keeping assist problem collision mitigation system problem currently, the warning messages are displayed continuously without fail upon starting/driving the vehicle. Per my diagnosis through my local Honda service, it is an internal failure with the front-facing camera associated with these safety features.
I am writing to report a significant safety issue with my 2020 Honda Odyssey. The front assembly assist monocular camera (oem part 36160-thr-c01-m1) has failed, causing the loss of several critical safety features, including auto high beam, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, and lane keeping assist system (lkas). The local Honda dealership diagnosed the issue as an internal fault in the camera unit. Through research, I have discovered this failure is not an isolated incident. Numerous reports from other Odyssey owners highlight similar issues with the camera leading to the deactivation of these safety features. For example, discussions on the Honda Odyssey forum and other online platforms describe widespread failures of front-camera-dependent systems, including lane-keeping and collision avoidance features. These failures compromise vehicle safety, potentially increasing the risk of accidents. The camera’s malfunction disables essential systems designed to enhance driver awareness and prevent collisions, leaving drivers vulnerable in critical situations. I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate this issue, as the consistency of these reports suggests a systemic problem. A recall or corrective action may be necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of these vehicles. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Several engine failures, starting one month after purchase in September 2020. Multiple system failures (all on video) leading to very poor acceleration and operation. No compression in engine and only able to go 20 mph. White-allen Honda made four attempts to solve the matter over the course of two years. The dealer has had the car a total of 120 days. Then end of December 2024 then engine began making a knocking sound and I was told it needed at new engine, to the tune of $10,000. 00. Then I see a recall for a similar issue but only up to 2019 Odysseys. Please help find resolution for this.
September 2024, I bought my car to the dealership to check multiple warning lights showed up on my dashboard. The dealer read the code and determine the multipurpose windshield camera had internal malfunction. The dealer told me that my multipurpose windshield camera need to be replace on my 60k mi 2020 Odyssey ex-l for ~$2. 3k in conshohocken PA. I had many of those sensor lights on (e. G. Acc, lane assist, collision mitigation) and saw many comments on a youtube video (Honda Odyssey warning lights bonanza get ready to pay). Do my research online; seem like this happened a lot for the Honda Odyssey from year 2017 to year 2020 hope NHTSA will investigate on this issue. It a very expensive fix for the vehicle barely break in. With all those safety feature disengage/malfunction at the same time, it is a very dangerous issue.
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.
At random the following would come on when driving or when starting the vehicle up. It would also reset itself at random. Very scary when you have small children in the van. 1. Collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) 2. Road departure mitigation system (rdm) 3. Lane keeping assist system (lkas) 4. Adaptive cruise control (acc) 5. Auto head lights the vehicle has not been in any collision. This started after a required update was installed. The code reader scan code does not match what is being stated. When you are using the cruise control then it would turn off. Brake warning will not work. The cable harness for the audio for the entire van was redone last summer 2023.
+ what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the front camera, which plays a crucial role in the functioning of the lane keep assist system (lkas), adaptive cruise control (acc), collision avoidance system, and auto high beam, malfunctioned. This camera is integral to these systems. +how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the malfunction of the front camera caused critical systems like lkas, acc, collision avoidance, and auto high beam to operate unpredictably. This compromised vehicle control, leading to unintended lane departures, unsafe following distances, and potential collision risks. The auto high beam system also failed to adjust correctly, creating visibility hazards for both myself and other drivers. +has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? the issue has been confirmed by a dealer, front camera malfunctioned and need to be replaced for $2000.
Front windshield camera, controls adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure mitigation, front collision mitigation, auto high beam, all the lights came on and all the features stopped working. We were 1500 miles from home when this happened had it repaired at a dealership $1300. I called Honda corporate and after 2 days a customer service representative called me back. He told me the vehicle was 2500 miles out of warranty and it's a car and cars are going to break down. That I should drive it back home and have the dealership repair it and they might be able to help with some kind of reimbursement. I did not want to drive it that far without all the systems functioning so he said well that's on me.
When the automatic start/stop feature turns the car off when the brake is fully depressed the car will sometimes not restart as designed. Further, it is sometimes accompanied by the forward collision warning light coming on and shutting the car off.
