The nidec oem part number 36160-tgs-a03-m1 has failed and causing all five of these alerts to appear as warnings: 1. Road departure mitigation problem 2. Collision mitigation problem 3. Lane keeping assist problem. 4. Auto high beam problem. 5 adaptive cruise control failure I don't know if the nidec part is oem from Honda and I believe the materials used by nidec are creating the issue. I thought the Honda oem part for this camera came from bosch. The german part appears to made from aluminum, the nidec part might be a plastic or other material. I am researching the failure rate on your part as I don’t believe there is a heat sink as part of the configuration and the part seems to be out of stock everywhere I look.
The first major issue I just started running into at about 90,000 miles is the engine auto start stop feature. I usually disable it when I drive due to the inability for the car to provide adequate start from a stop, but when I don’t, I’ve had the vehicle completely stall on me at a stoplight and won’t let me restart the vehicle for several minutes leaving me stranded and vulnerable sitting in a lane on a highway. I’ve had about a dozen instances of this issue now over the last several months. The second issue is with the adaptive, cruise control or the emergency, stopping on the vehicle where it will jam on the brakes, even though there are no cars in front of me it inaccurately picks up vehicles in the oncoming lane. There are more than 8 feet separated from my vehicle. I have had the system recalibrated and have complained about it at the dealer, but I’ve been told that there’s nothing wrong with it. Just thought I’d report that as well because it’s almost got me into several accidents by jamming on my brakes for no reason and almost being rear-ended.
Front radar camera is broken after 100000 miles. Errors include: adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, brake system, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam, collision mitigation.
Nothing has failed currently, more so the system overreacts to everything. Trucks nearby, swerve. Guardrails, center lanes, etc. It’s insanely inconsistent and I’m not surprised it’s caused accidents, the acc and brake assist need to be fixed on these cars.
Vehicle braking heavily and unexpectedly on highway and interstate due to defective Honda sensing group input data (radar, camera, on-board software creating dangerous situation) at high speeds (60-70mph). Vehicles not always recognized ahead when using adaptive cruise control. Somtimes the issue will be corrected if the Honda Passport is powered off and restarted. Another issue is the backup camera and lighting is not sufficient in a dark envirnoment with little or no ambient light in order to backup safely.
When turning on car all the advanced systems fail. I need to restart my car sometimes 3 times to clear error from instrument panel, otherwise if I drive the car none of the advanced safety features work. Honda has been unable to diagnose and twice has withheld paper work.
Adaptive cruise control works well most of the time. Occasionally, it ignores stopped traffic and closes to a dangerous distance. It then slams on the brakes and all warning lights go on. The sensors are defective. On two lane roads, the sensors detect oncoming traffic and flash the brake warning light. When on cruise, the sensors detect cars making a left turn when passed on the right, and apply the brakes. The same thing happens when on a freeway in the middle lane passing a car on the right. The false warnings have happened since I purchased the vehicle. It's been to the dealership numerous times. They can't fix it. The cruise problems were discovered on a trip to florida from January to March 2021.
