Adaptive Cruise Control problems of the 2019 Honda Pilot - part 1

A little after hitting 114000 miles, all the lights came on the dashboard: brake system, acc, lkas, automatic high beams, collision mitigation system. We had the battery checked and it is not the battery. All the camera sensors are clean… many other Honda Pilot owners have expressed this same problem online.

When I started my 2019 Honda Pilot touring car on 7/13/26 morning, where the screen where the speed usually shows showed amber colored warnings for Honda sensing features: acc, lkas, cmbs, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam. Lkas, cmbs and brake system amber icons are on. Infotainment display shows acc and cmbs has a problem. I tried cleaning the windshield and sensors in the front but same warnings still continued to show at next start up and drive. Last few days I started it still pops up so I took it to independent shop yesterday 7/15/26. They pulled a u-code for multipurpose camera, tried to clean the sensors but warnings would still show so it's a hard code now. I had them document it for me. These are safety features that came with the car, should they be failing this early on? I have not done anything to there, haven't been in any accidents involving that area and haven't had windshield replaced either. They weren't able to fix it as they don't have the calibration equipment so said we'd need to send to Honda dealer.

Front camera failed so none of the cars safety features are working and every warning light is on on the dash. Part is unavailable in USA.

Additional comments for complaint #11750912:I am uploading photographic evidence of severe material delamination on my vehicle's front radar emblem shield (part #71125-tg7-a51) [71125-tg7-a51]. This manufacturing defect caused a critical safety failure: my vehicle recently executed a sudden, violent phantom braking event on the highway with absolutely no prior warning lights or error codes on the dashboard. The peeling layers and air bubbles on the emblem physically refracted the radar signals, creating a false target that locked the brakes and nearly caused a severe rear-end collision. While I was driving alone during this specific incident, this car is my primary family vehicle used daily to transport my wife and my three young children. I am now genuinely terrified to drive my family in this vehicle and must manually turn off the cmbs system every time I start the car to protect them. American Honda corporate (case #16495852) has formally refused to address this active braking hazard, deflecting the issue by focusing only on unrelated radio glitches. I request a federal safety investigation into Honda’s radar emblem material degradation, as it directly compromises collision-mitigation systems without triggering automated dashboard fault alerts, putting families and young children at immediate risk.

I am filing this complaint because my 2019 Honda Pilot has developed a serious safety-related defect. When I started the vehicle, multiple warning lights remain on, including the lkas, acc, cmbs, and brake system warnings. I haven't had it inspected by the dealer yet, as the closest dealer is 25 miles away down a curvy mountain road. I expect that it will be determined that the front-facing camera has failed. Because this camera supports several driver-assistance and warning systems, the failure has made those systems unreliable and prevents the vehicle from accurately alerting me to other potential problems. This creates a significant safety concern because, if another malfunction occurs, I may not be able to distinguish it from the existing warnings. The warning lights remain active unless the camera is replaced at an estimated cost of $2,600. I do not believe owners should be responsible for such an expensive repair when the failure affects critical safety and warning functions. This issue appears to be recurring among 2019 Honda Pilots, with similar complaints reported by other owners online and in social media forums. I respectfully request that Honda investigate this defect and provide an appropriate remedy, including repair assistance or coverage for the failed camera system.

While operating my 2019 Honda Pilot, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete failure of its advanced driver safety systems. Without warning, a cascade of simultaneous error messages illuminated on the dashboard, completely disabling the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs), road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist networks. This defect renders critical safety features completely inoperable and causes severe driver distraction due to persistent dashboard warnings flashing on the loop. This failure occurred when turning on the car. The sudden loss of safety systems while traveling at highway speeds poses an unreasonable risk of a crash, as the vehicle can no longer utilize automatic emergency braking or lane assistance features. The vehicle currently has about 88000 miles. The dealership has indicated the issue stems from a failure of the front-facing windshield camera sensor, matching the systematic defect patterns alleged in active federal class-action litigation against Honda. I am requesting that the NHTSA formally investigate this widespread camera component failure to mandate a safety recall.

While driving, there was a loud noise came from the engine. I immediately pulled over onto the shoulder as I was unable to continue driving. Every time I accelerated, the car with jerk forward and posed an extreme danger for both the the passengers and others on the road. There were numerous error messages appearing on my dashboard, and the loud noise persisted. The local dealer found that there was an issue with the engine and needs engine replacement. I contacted manufacturer Honda and they not willing to help me as my 6. 3 year vehicle is out of 5 year warranty.

There are several lights that come on and say there is a problem. Upon looking online for information on how to fix it there are numerous people with the same issue and there should be a recall.

My 2019 Honda Pilot had warnings( see pics). I took into Honda for inspection. We were told it was a radar (sensor). After doing some research online, this is a common issue with Honda vehicles. The cost is $2000 to fix. Why is this not a recall issue???.

The fuel injectors have been diagnosed by my local dealership with all the appropriate codes referencing the following extended warranty bulletin issued by Honda for the repair of all 6 fuel injectors and related parts to be installed free of charge. Honda issued a warranty extension for the 2019 Honda Pilot fuel injectors under service bulletin 20-100. ?warranty coverage details ?expiration point: the warranty is extended to 10 years from the original date of purchase or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. ?condition: the vehicle must display a malfunction indicator light (check engine light) with specific stored fuel-system error codes (such as p0300 through p0306, p0420, p0430, p219a, or p219b). ?how to get coverage or file a claim ?1. If your vehicle needs repair now ?take your vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership. They will scan the diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs). If the codes match the service bulletin criteria, the dealer will replace the fuel injectors for free. ?american Honda motor CO. , inc. Honda automobile customer service p. O. Box 2964 torrance, CA 90509-2964 I meet all the requirements for the warranty work to be provided for free as the fuel injectors are a defective part as manufactured and my vehicle is at 125,000 miles under the 10 year 150k condition. However hinderer Honda, heath ohio stated my vehicle isnt covered even though its the same as covered by Honda extended warranty. The parts kit for repair is $479. 00 dollars and labor quoted was $895. 00.

I have a 2019 Honda Pilot touring with an intermittent fault. At apparently random intervals, I'll get the following faults on start: adaptive cruise control problem lane keeping assist problem collision mitigation system problem road departure mitigation system problem auto high-beam problem if I drive the car a couple of miles, there's a 50-50 chance I'll get them the next time the car starts. It's not throwing any fault codes. Had the oil changed, battery checked, cleaned the "h" sign to make sure it wasnt anything dirty on the radar.

I have several lights on my dash after getting a part changed. Road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, auto high beam problem.

I leased this vehicle in oct2019 and then brought this vehicle and till date did 44710 miles and on 2/25 we had multiple warnings on the dashboard regarding lane assist failure, adaptive cruise control, break system failure, forward collision failure and many more warnings, we took it to Honda dealer to investigate and they said that he don’t monocular camera has to be replaced with a estimate cost of $2395, when searched online there are many customers of the 2019 model facing the same problem and are subjected to such high repair cost. I believe that this is a faulty part from Honda and needs to be recalled and fixed as this impacts critical safety functions.

I have noticed alot of the Honda Pilots front facing camera gets so hot that it fries the internal and doed not work I have full coverage on my car and the glass company will not replace it.

At roughly 90,000 miles the forward multipurpose camera has an internal failure and a lot of my safety features no longer work, such as road departure mitigation, auto high beams, lane keeping assist, collision avoidance, and adaptive cruise control. This is a very common problem amongst these vehicles and Honda should be responsible in fixing them.

Multiple problems flashing. Including cmbs problem, lane keeping assist problem, road departure warning, adaptive cruise control problem. The car also did an unexpected slow down while driving when there was no obstruction in front of me driving. This was a major safety issue as I could have been rear-ended.

All of the warning lights came on, cruise doesnt work. Dealership told me my camera in the wind shield stopped working. I was given a 2,1000$ estimate from harvest Honda in yakima, wa. My car had 84,000 miles on it. No impact to the windshield. It just stopped. I took it to mckinney glass to see if it could possibly be a calibration issue. They confirmed what the dealership told me. It’s defective.

While driving, multiple safety systems suddenly failed at the same time including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation, and auto high beam. All warning lights appeared simultaneously. The vehicle became unsafe to drive relying only on manual control. This appears to be related to the front-facing camera or sensor malfunction. Many other Honda Pilot owners have reported the same issue.

Below features stopped working and when I showed it to the dealership, it was diagnosed to be a failed front camera which I had to get replaced at the dealership to get below features restored. Adaptive cruise control forward collision warning lane keeping assistance auto high-beam headlights.

Vehicle: 2019 Honda Pilot issue: complete dashboard blackout / loss of safety systems safety defect: yes description of the problem: while driving, the entire dashboard and infotainment system suddenly go black without warning. This includes the speedometer, fuel gauge, warning lights, backup camera, and all Honda sensing features (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, road departure mitigation). When this happens, I cannot see my speed or any critical vehicle information. The system reboots on its own while still driving. This failure happens intermittently and unpredictably, including at highway speeds. It creates a serious safety hazard because I lose all driver information and safety alerts. Many other 2019 Honda Pilot owners report the same issue, and Honda has not issued a recall or permanent fix. Honda cannot figure out why this happens depsite me taking it to dealer several times. Frequency: • has happened multiple times when it occurs: • while driving what has been done so far: Honda dealers have not provided a permanent fix. Software updates and resets do not resolve the issue. Honda has not acknowledged this as a safety defect despite widespread reports. Why this is a safety issue: losing the speedometer, warning lights, and safety systems while driving is extremely dangerous. I cannot tell how fast I am going, whether the vehicle has warnings, or whether safety systems are active. This should be investigated as a safety defect.

Front camera sensor (behind rear view mirror) has failed prematurely therefore causing multiple dash lights to come on such as acc, lkas, collision mitigation system, brake system. Confirmed battery is not the issue as it is in great condition.

My cruise control stopped working and all my lane assist stopped working. My front camera stopped working. I went to the Honda dealership, and it was going to be over $2000 to replace. The car is only 6 years old, it has had no accidents or problems. I’m incredibly upset that this already is a problem, and because I didn’t buy an extended warranty it’s on me to fix.

So my front sensing camera failed after 125,000 miles , Honda sensing features disabled and dealer in elk grove, CA zip code 95624 quoted me 2,215 plus tax and that includes diagnostics. It showed 5-6 errors on my dashboard which have disturbed my focus on driving. Advisor said there’s no recall on this issue or warranty at all except if you bought an extended warranty. This is not fair as this is an electronic automated design, this should have a warranty. This will pose danger to customers who owns this vehicle.

Front camera stopped working all of a sudden and didn't help with lane assistance.

At random intervals, I get the following faults on start: adaptive cruise control problem lane keeping assist problem collision mitigation system problem road departure mitigation system problem auto high-beam problem.

There was an internal failure of the multi-purpose camera located behind the windshield rear-view mirror. It was inspected by russ darrow Honda and the failure code diagnosed. The camera needed to be replaced. Service included a video from the dealer and the defective camera was so hot he could barely hold it while wearing gloves. This caused the lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam, collision mitigation and road departure mitigation systems to fail, and the dummy lights on the dash to warn of the system failures. There was no accident or injury resulting yet, but none of the advanced safety features were operable. We have since learned that this camera is a common failure in Honda vehicles, and we feel there needs to be a recall. This critical and expensive safety feature should not be failing this frequently, or in vehicles this new.

My 2019 Honda Pilot [xxx] with 68k miles) recently began to have startup errors and issues with the automated driver safety systems. The five errors that are routinely displayed on the dash info display are: collision mitigation system problem road departure mitigation system problem adaptive cruise control problem lane keeping assist problem brake system information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The multi function camera is causing multiple system failures within the safety systems associated with the camera as well as additional issues with transmission. Honda suggests throwing parts at it until repaired. Many owners on forums report same issue across different model years and trim levels. Known issue not being resolved by manufacturer.

The front camera driving assist malfunctioned, causing all driving safety mitigation to be stopped. This is not an issue due to the driver, it is an issue with the camera either malfunctioning from heat from sun exposure or being faulty due to manufacturing issues. I reported to auto national Honda valencia & they said it would cost approximately $2200 to fix. Dash light did come on and are continuing to go on until the faulty camera is replaced.

My 2019 Honda Pilot has 47817 miles on it. Purchased new from dealership. Been garaged entire life other than normal routine driving. Recently had adas warning lights. Reported the problem to Honda hq in torrance California. They issued a claim number. I took it to Honda dealer where it was diagnosed with error code u3000-49. They quoted me approx $2600 to replace and calibrate the new multi purpose camera. When reviewing the internet for others with similar problem I noticed this was a safety issue that was far too common among relatively new Honda vehicles. I received a discount from Honda and had the service. The discount was only given when I complained about this issue as well as my 2013 Honda Pilot I purchased brand new which the clear coat paint started to come off the roof and hond of the vehicle about a month after I purchased my 2019 Honda. When reporting the problem with the 2013 Pilot losing the clear coat back in 2019 Honda told me it was too late for them to do anything. Honda should have recalled vehicles with peeling clear coat as well as the defective adas system.

After starting my vehicle and leaving the office, several different warning messages began flashing on the dash abs, lane departure mitigation, power sterring, towing. I pulled over and turned the vehicle off. When I attempted to restart the vehicle, the brake pedal was hard and felt stuck. The car did not start. When roadside assistance came, they tested the battery, and it was fine. The car was towed to a Honda dealer and the technician informed me the brake pedal position switch failed. He said that it would have caused all the different warning messages to appear. This was the second time this occurred, where the different warning messages lit up, but that time the car restarted. When I took it to the dealer that time, they could not determine the issue, and no repairs were done. I am concerned because I have seen that these vehicles have issues with this and it is very dangerous and unsafe when it comes to issues with the brakes.

For about a year now the front facing camera throw 5 warnings, my cruise dont work, and it cost 2200 to fix. I follow a Honda group on fb and apparently this is the main complaint. Something needs to be done bc it is very un sage to have all these safety features and they may r may not work.

During normal operation of the vehicle, the dashboard information display on the gauge cluster lit up displaying the following error messages: adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, lane keeping assist problem, auto high-beam problem, road departure mitigation system problem. Additionally there is a fixed "dash light" that is showing "brake system" illuminated in amber color. After research I have found that Honda issued a TSB for other vehicles with their sensing system for the same issue and referenced the high-mounted mono camera on the windshield. This issue extends to the 2019 Pilot elite that I own and significantly reduces the safety features of this vehicle.

The braking system failed lane keeping assist stopped working adaptive cruise control stopped working forward collision warning stopped working it does not handle as smoothly since the sensors stopped working I parked in the shade I keep the sensors clean but they only will work when it’s cooler then 65 degrees outside.

Brake warning, sign.
