Blind Spot Detection Problems of Honda Odyssey - part 2

The multipurpose camera in the vehicle failed, causing multiple warning lights to come on related to the collision warning, blind spot warning, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and others. The dealership said it needed to be replaced, as it was no longer working and none of these features would work without replacement.

The multi-purpose camera/millimeter wave radar has been diagnosed by a certified Honda service center as having an internal failure, disabling all advanced driver assistance systems from operating as designed. These systems include: adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, collision mitigation braking, lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, automatic high beam. The failure of these safety systems has increased the risk of crash and injury to the vehicle occupants.

My radar and multipurpose camera need replacement.

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.

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.

It started that all the sensor in our car started to go off. We were told we had a bad battery, even thought we had replaced it new just last year. Once we had the battery checked and alternator. The sensors started to act up again, out tail gate started to malfunction. Wouldn’t automatically close. A few weeks ago driving down the road the tail gate opened and the anti theft system started going off while the car was running and still going. Come to find out there is a water leak in the rear that has gotten into the rear fuse box and has cause substantial corrosion. The latch to the tail gate is broken. Honda is telling us our extended warranty doesn’t cover any of this, even though it is common knowledge, that the water leak is a known problem from 2018-2021. We just found out a few days ago.

This is my second 2019 Honda Odyssey that has multipurpose camera unit internal electronic failure(error code u3000-49). Failed camera causing the whole adas system to stop functioning. This part shouldn't fail in 6 year old 50000 miles car. I will also report on my second Honda Odyssey which I had the same issue last year.

The entire advanced driver assistance system failed. My vehicle has not been inspected. The entire adas does not work upon startup.

Went to leave my house at 8pm and the car was malfunctioning. Blind spot problem, parking sensor problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto engine idle stop problem . Lights flickering on and off, console lights not working, can’t control heating speed. Light would not stay on as I was driving . I have a couple videos of the malfunction.

While driving at 25-30 mph, all of a sudden the 2 warning signs came “transmission system problem” and “blind spot info system problem. ” the “d” in the dashboard started blinking. When I put the vehicle in park at a stop light, the “p” also blinked. After a couple of minutes of this I pulled over and turned the car off. A few minutes later I restarted the engine and these warning lights have not come back in the last 5 drives. I read online that this may be a software glitch that needs updating (which I think is a manufacturer defect). I do feel like the car was a bit jumpy while these warnings were going off and I was terrified that it would put itself into park while I was driving and cause an accident.

All warning lights turned on about 9. Emissions system problem, transmission system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem, hill start assist problem, road departure mitigation system problem, blind spot info system problem. Steering becomes really difficult, reverse and forward gives out and really hard to control vehicle. Not able to accelerate. This problem happened out of nowhere no issues prior to the lights coming on took it to Honda they said there was no problem and they had not experienced this problem before. This is about the fourth time this happens now did my research and other owners of similar vehicles have the same issues.

It first started with the power tailgate failure which I brought it to Honda who are aware that there is a faulty sealant that is causing water to get into these Odysseys. They refuse to fix the issues and they are very costly. My van has never been in an accident. Now I'm getting all sorts of warnings from the adas system. Honda has refused to fix their issues and I can not afford $7000 cost to get this cleared up. People who own these vans are complaining and no one is doing enough to get this recalled.

Adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, automatic braking, auto beam functions stopped working.

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.

After a slight rain, the error of radar obstructed is being displayed. Can’t get this error removed or fixed. After searching more I found out that: 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.

Random multifunction camera failure triggering lots of errors. Needed to pay dealership over 2000 to fix. Safety issue as it disables blind spot detection, lane change, collision warnings etc.

1. The multipurpose camera, which is needed for the adas to function has malfunctioned. Yes, it is available for inspection request. 2. The malfunctioning multipurpose camera caused the advanced driver-assistance systems (adas) to perform unreliably. Features such as lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning either stopped working or provided false alerts. This created unpredictable driving conditions, as I could not rely on the systems to detect other vehicles, maintain lane position, or warn of potential collisions. The issue increased the risk of an accident for me and for other drivers or pedestrians, especially in traffic or on highways. Upon doing some research, it seems clear that this is a wide-spread problem, which Honda has not issued a recall about. 3. Yes, this has been reproduced and confirmed by a dealer. 4. No, it has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance rep. 5. No, there were not any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure.

It is available for inspection on request. Lost blindspot info, lost use of turn indicators, rear door hatch malfunction, several warnings flash up while driving. I was in a busy area and didn't have a way to signal my movements, screen flashing warnings was terrifying, the van felt like it might turn off at any moment. Before the most recent incident, we had brought the van to Honda dealer for repair, for similar issues that occured at start-up, they found water in the power control unit in rear left area of van that caused corrosion and short-circuit. No body damage or alterations to vehicle. Replaced unit and after rainy weather problems recurred at start up and power down, then while driving, they tested the battery and it was almost dead (the battery was only 1 month old) replaced battery. Problems recurred and water found again. Significant leak suspected but not found yet as the service department won't evaluate the seals, and told us it's a body-shop task. Summary: intermittent left-side passenger door and rear hatch door malfunction, blind spot system warnings/loss, loss of turn indication, brake system warnings, other system warnings, difficulty starting the car and turning the car off, brand new battery drained while the car was parked and turned off. This manufacturing defect should be addressed by Honda, seals should not fail when exposed to regular conditions. Water should not enter the vehicle and short out an important component leading to several malfunctions that could cause loss of important systems and rear-door latch while driving.

1. Issue: *multiple (5+) warning lights on dash [I. E. Road departure mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, auto high beam warning, collision mitigation system problem etc. ] 2. Honda dealer diagnosed & confirmed the issue as "multi purpose internal camera failure" 3. A failed camera affects safety related functionality which affects the safety of both driver and other drivers. 4. The issue first appeared March 16th, 2024.

The van has been giving me issues with stalling jerking losing power while driving when I found there was a recall Honda told me I had to wait til srptember I dont have til September this is my only vehicle gid I hope it does not fail me or my kids.

All of a sudden every adas system went down. When starting the vehicle I get numerous errors displayed - all having to do with the adas. The forward facing camera is the cause of this and it is a known systemic issue within Honda. All safety features are now disabled and the vehicle has the original camera and windshield.

Rear lift gate ceased operating, unlocking or opening. Later received errors on dash for blind spot malfunction and transmission error. Dealer says it is an issue with water leaking into the rear chassis getting into the exposed electronics.

Failed part information front camera - Honda (36160-thr-a11) faulty camera inaccurately reads the surrounding objects, causing the car to hesitate and lurch when accelerating. It is not safe. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by a service center and the dealer yes, the component has been inspected by the dealer and a service center no warnings prior to failure. The warning lamps and messages started when the component had already failed.

Rear view mirror on the windshield has a factory defect. It falls off and causes hazardous conditions. I backed into a parked and unoccupied vehicle. It was dark, the warning beeper did not sound until I hit the vehicle. The dealership has attempted to fix the issue 3 times, the item is ordered to fix the mirror. I have reported this issue to the nhsta twice. This is my second update after the initial report. The sales manager, bobby, (cell#336-740-4273), says that he is aware that other Honda vehicles have had this problem with the mirror.

Here is what happened: 1). After the car driving for 10mins and engine warms up, stop the car, and turn off. 2). Turn on the car again, it shows message such as "emissions system problem", "transmission problem", "blind spot info system problem" at the same time. The computer locks the car that doesn't allow the transmission to change from "p" to "r", "n", or "d" position. The car fails to drive. 3). Leave the car for few hours and let the engine compartment cool down first, turn on the car again and those messages go away, and the car can drive. 4). After driving for a while, it repeats the problem from 1) ~ 3).

The camera that controls all safety features in my vehicle has an “internal failure” this means all my sensors and my dash board is lit up like a christmas tree. I took it to the dealership paid for a diagnostic test and found out it was the front camera internal failure, which means all sensors (lane mitigation, braking system, cruise control, automatic dim lights etc), is all not working. Help please!! as I took it to the dealership even if I pay for the fixing the camera is on national back order that being stated it means many people are having the same issue, and Honda has no conducted a recall for this help us please!!!.

Honda has a recall notice to repair the rear camera. We took the car in to get the recall service. The camera stopped working. Honda told us the diagnostic to determine what wasn't working on the camera would cost hundreds of dollars. This was recall service that disabled the camera. We should not be charged and they have messed up our car system.

While driving multiple system failure- warning lights then failure blind spot alert, lane departure, back up camera, wipers, tailgate function. When able to stop, power locks did not function. Inability to access rear of car via sliding doors would pose serious risk if accident occurred due to system failure. Prior to all systems alert, tailgate warning light had been intermittently appearing for a few days. Dealer service center noted water leak from unsealed section between window and frame in back driver side panel that corroded body console module.

Blindspot monitoring, emissions system problem, transmission system problem all come on at the same time when vehicle is motion. Unable to manually shift if needed. A lot of vans had recall, however ours is not on the recall list, but we highly believe it should be due to safety concerns due to transmission failure.

Honda corporation is not compensating dealers fairly for this significant recall on Honda Odysseys. This recall involves disassembling much of the interior to replace these defective communication cables. To do it correctly and reassemble the vehicle correctly the work could take 8 hours or more. Because Honda of America is compensating dealers for much less than the correct work time, to do the work, Honda owners are having issues with their repairs. Honda's unfair compensation to dealers is causing other mechanical issues on Honda Odyssey vehicles. On another note Honda Odyssey vans have some defective blind spot sensors. When we merge onto the interstate (if we do forget to use our turn signal. . . . . It does happen at times) the van goes (on its own) into emergency braking mode (when you are accelerating to highway speeds), causing us to almost cause several interstate accidents. . . . . Because of this safety feature. These vans are very unsafe.

Since purchase the blind spot warning won't operate or goes off on its own. No audible warning when it is chosen. Purchased vehicle on a Friday, and returned Saturday and Monday. Both techs replicated the problem but no idea of a fix yet.

Own a 2018 Honda Odyssey touring w/10 speed transmission just outside the powertrain warranty. The current mileage is 115,863 miles. On 1/2/2023, while my wife was driving, she experienced severe jerking and gears slipping in drive. The car continued to drive, but there was hesitation in gearing. The following day (1/3/2023), hesitation rapidly turned into the complete failure of the van to go into reverse. The car would not engage reverse, started blinking r, and was freewheeling like it was in neutral. Suddenly, the dash indicated transmission system failure + blind spot warning failure. All modes, drive, sport, neutral, and reverse, were flashing. Wife was able to get the van home, and I immediately took it to the dealership. The following morning, 1/4/2023 (today as of this writing), the dealership notified me the tech observed what he called “a death code,” indicating the transmission must be replaced. $11,000 repair is underway as of this writing. The problem is exactly similar to this reported and others in Odyssey consumer forums. It appears to be a transmission manufacturing defect by Honda car. Answers to questions: 1) component malfunction is transmission system - and adas/blind spot. 2) car was slipping and jerking on the motorway in the middle of high-speed traffic and trucks, endangering our safety. 3) problem was reproduced 100% of the time personally and by the dealership personnel. 4) the dealer indicated a “death code” and that the transmission must be replaced. 5) transmission system failure + blind spot warning failure, all modes, drive, sport, neutral, and reverse, were flashing the letter associated with the gear/mode selected.

Own a 2018 Honda Odyssey elite w/10 speed transmission that is still under powertrain warranty. Current mileage is approx 51,400 miles. On 06/23 while driving on I-680 south bound driving my kids to school - experienced severe jerking and gears slipping in drive. Car continued to drive, but there was hesitation in gearing. As a precaution decided to pull over and stopped the vehicle in milpitas, CA. On restart the car was completely stalled, the car would not engage in "reverse" gear and on pressing accelerator it seemed like it was in neutral. All modes, drive, sport, neutral and reverse were flashing and got a warning in the dashboard saying "transmission system problem/blind spot info system problem". Also see this thread. .

I was driving my vehicle when suddenly the acc, lkas, blind spot, lane departure, went on. Also I parked my vehicle then the transmission problem indicator went on. Took it to Honda was told if its driveable its fine. So I left. Put gas which the range read 130 miles til empty have way down the block I suddenly had 121 miles til empty. Theres no way I drove 9 miles.

The rear view camera on this car is defective. Honda and the dealership appear to be playing games with customers stating that they will get this dealt with but no eta has been forthcoming the whole of 2022.
