Honda Passport owners have reported 21 problems related to adaptive cruise control (under the forward collision avoidance category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Honda Passport based on all problems reported for the Passport.
Vehicle has frequent and persistent “front camera fault” warnings appearing on the dashboard, which result in continuous alerts and the disabling of key safety features including the brake system, collision mitigation braking system (cmbs), lane keeping assist system (lkas), adaptive cruise control (acc), and road departure mitigation (rdm). These warnings occur under all driving conditions, including clear weather and unobstructed roads. The dashboard fault warnings appear on nearly every vehicle start, and all Honda sensing feature indicators flash continuously while the vehicle is in operation. Because continuous multiple warning lights flash on dashboard, it is difficult to determine which alerts are genuine and which are false. This is thus a serious safety concern that warrants a formal recall. A diagnostic scan by dealer informs an error code of u3000-49 that is front camera needs to be replaced at a cost of $1,900, excluding a non-refundable diagnostic charge of approximately $190. Due to the exorbitant cost if no extended warranty purchased, owners reporting this do not proceed with the repair and continue to experience this ongoing safety issue.

“road departure mitigation system problem” is the error that comes up on the dash. The error shuts down cruise control and slows the car down unexpectedly. I’ve taken the vehicle to the Honda dealer in tampa florida where I purchased it and they will not fix the vehicle. The error is a safety issue slowing the vehicle down in traffic and a driver distraction triggered by the collision mitigation system and roadway departure system.

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.
When I turn on the car, the "brake system" warning light appears, along with several alerts that disable all Honda safety features, including: 1. Road departure mitigation system problem 2. Auto high-beam problem 3. Adaptive cruise control problem 4. Lane keeping assist problem 5. Collision mitigation system problem after taking the vehicle to a Honda dealership, the diagnosis was a failure of the multipurpose camera unit and/or the millimeter wave radar. Unfortunately, this is a common issue affecting several Honda models, including the clarity, fit, pilot, Passport, and cr-v. Due to high demand and limited supply, the camera unit is currently sold out nationwide with no estimated restock date. Repairing this issue is expected to cost approximately $2,600, with no set timeline for when the parts will become available.

I had 5 lights comes on 2 days ago. Airbag system problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation problem, high beam problem, and adaptive cruise control problem. The dealership said that it was a camera issue and everything except the air bag issue is covered with my warranty. It’s currently in the shop getting fixed. Also currently has a recall for the fuel pump that they never have the part. Still waiting to see if they are able to get that part. This recall has been there since 12/2021 and they haven’t been able to get the parts.
Approximately a month ago several warning lights started turning on. These included adaptive cruise control collision mitigation lane keep assist road departure mitigation high beam detection when I brought the car to the dealer for a diagnosis they informed me the windshield camera and possibly the radar as well would need to be replaced. The products were not under warranty and the cost to replace them is exorbitant. These are vital components of the safety system in this car and should be replaced at the dealer cost.
Upon engine start, dashboard lights appear that warn of the following safety issues detected: - collision mitigation braking system - lane keeping assist system - adaptive cruise control - road departure mitigation diagnostic scan shows an error code of u3000-49 indicating a front camera issue. The error codes began in spring 2025 and are disturbing making driving less secure but it is my primary vehicle.
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.
Adaptive cruise control; automatic emergency braking; blind spot warning lane departure warning; lane keeping assistance; parking collision warning.
Warning system failure… all lights lit and systems did not work. Car was drivable but with no safety mitigation systems. Happened suddenly while driving on hwy. Displayed the following warnings: transmission system problem blind spot info system problem power steering system problem emissions system problem vehicle stability assist problem hill start assist problem traffic stability assist problem road departure mitigation system problem rear tailgate did latch not working the d for drive was blinking these safety systems put my driving at risk as I rely on them for safe driving, lane change . . Etc brought to dealer for second time and they insist I leave the vehicle on so they can check the error codes. Even had ready made sign “ do not turn vehicle off” for dashboard. Seems like significant problem and I’m not the only one. Evidenced by chatter on Honda web forums. My question is, why do all system failure lights activate? why can’t they determine the failure after car is turned off. Isn’t that the purpose of fail codes? why do all safety functions fail when one issue arises. Evidence points to a software bug that effects all these functions (yes including the rear latch) dealer recommends replace the abs module but is not sure. Last time they replaced the speed sensor. Seems they are unsure. Needs software fix !.
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.
Adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance warning lights pop-up sporadically on the dashboard. I have had the car serviced at several different Honda dealerships 5 plus times and every time they say that the reason why the warning lights pop up is because the battery is defective. I've only had the car for a couple of months in the battery has been replaced three times. The warning lights on the car and the battery dying and needing to be replaced by aaa and Honda at least three separate times has been a concern for me from the moment I got the car. March of this year. I filed a lemon law complaint with the state of florida where I purchased sorry where I am leasing the vehicle from but I have relocated to the state of kansas and have also filed a lemon law complaint with the attorney general in the state of kansas and I've also contacted Honda America who is the leaseholder. This car is a lemon and I want my money back.

The vehicle stopped measuring speed accurately, resulting in all safety features and multiple vehicle measurements becoming non functional. The vehicle was towed to fowler Honda, norman ok. Diagnostics revealed the sensor bolt had backed out and the sensor had backed out (code c0039-62). The sensor and bolt were installed correctly and all systems functioned again. I was travelling at interstate highway speed of 70 mph when this occurred. The vehicle remained operable, but the alarms, display warnings and lack of accurate speed indication resulted in very confusing and troubled driving until I successfully exited the highway.
I have had the car for three years and its never been in a collusion. Within the past two months the forward radar sensor failed which cost 1500 to replace. This part makes it so all cruise control and auto lane change functionality break. In addition a month later the gas lid broke and emissions were getting into the fuel tank. Again not major incident but I did observe that the gas tank top is very flimsy and moves a lot of when refueling. This cost me another 763 dollars. Both these issues cause major safety issues and should not be occurring on a three year old vehicle.
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.
3x in the last 6months my Passport has failed to start after the auto stop at idle has engaged. The dealership said the battery is fine and one technician just said “disable the feature “. Today when adaptive cruise control was engaged, the car increased in speed from the set 72 to over 80mph. I also emailed Honda corp and their response was to see a dealer and did not acknowledge if the auto stop/start issue was known for other vehicles.
My son was driving on the highway with the adaptive cruise control on. The car in front of him stopped suddenly. The dashboard screen system flashed the word "brake" but not in enough time for him to react. He braked hard but he still rear-ended the car in front of him. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed because the car is no longer drivable. It is sitting at my house waiting for repair of $7,700 damage. I thought the "Honda sensing system," the combination of the adaptive cruise control and emergency braking, was supposed to bring the car to a halt. My son and his 3 friends were put at risk. I'm very disappointed in the car.
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.
When driving this vehicle on a two lane road, the vehicle will give false forward collision alerts from oncoming vehicles in the opposing lane. When driving on a four lane highway with adaptive cruise control engaged, vehicles driving slower in the lane to your left will cause the vehicle to slow down suddenly (there are no vehicles in front ). Both of these issues happen intermittently and can cause an unsafe driving condition when triggered. The vehicle has been at a dealer service department on five occasions. The dealer is unable to resolve the issue.
