36 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 12/28/2024

Received five warning lights at idle. Adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto high beam problem. None of these safety features work in my vehicle. I have taken this to the dealership to troubleshoot the issue and they confirm that the issue is there and said that it was the multi-purpose camera on the rear view mirror. This will end up costing around $2,000 to repair. Without these safety systems, my family is obviously not as safe. . . As a consumer we pay extra for all the engineering and the physical components to have these safety features. Otherwise, I could have saved $20,000 and bought a 2000s model suburban that doesn't have these safety features.

37 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 12/27/2024

2019 Honda Pilot ex-l receive alarms for malfunctions in the following systems: collision mitigation system lane keep assist adaptive cruise control road departure mitigation automatic high beams.

38 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2024

I got in my vehicle about a month ago to a lot of blinking lights. I immediately took my vehicle to davenport Honda in rocky mount, nc, who stated I had a misfire and it would be over $1000 to fix the problem. Approximately a month later, a few more blinking lights came on. It was the lane departure, automatic high beam and collision lights. I took my vehicle back to the dealership that stated it is an internal failure and now the entire camera will need to be replace quoting me another $1000 job. I currently have a crack in my windshield and cannot get it replace due to this internal failure. I have read several comments about this internal failure leading to believe me this should be a recall. I don't have $4000 to $5000 to put into a vehicle every 2 to 3 months.

39 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2024

Our Honda had a failure while driving on the highway. The camera behind the windshield apparently failed all at once and this caused all of the safety features to stop functioning and we almost had a wreck trying to get across the busy lanes of traffic because when this camera failed it caused the service brakes light on the dash to come on and stay on as well as the adaptive cruise control, the lane keep assist, the emergency braking, the blind spot warning all to stop functioning immediately without warning. We had the vehicle towed to the Honda dealer and had to pay to have the $1300 camera behind the windshield replaced on a vehicle that’s barely 5 years old. This camera that is so ingrained into all of the safety features that are the main reason we bought this vehicle should not be failing. Honda refused to assist with this repair and they will recall vehicles because a backup camera isn’t clear but offer no help for something that kills every single safety feature of the vehicle? how does that make sense? I find this to be a sad situation that will get someone killed.

40 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2024

Just started, while driving in high winds: electrical power steering problem, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start assist problem, trailer stability assist problem, road departure mitigation system problem, emissions system problem. Brake system warning light is also on. I don’t have a towing system installed- so that’s odd to get a warning for trailer stability. I had an oil change @ 101076 miles, on 19 November 2024, and my tires were rotated at that time. This issue repeated itself today, 21 November 2024.

41 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2024

3 episodes of unexpected and sudden braking for no reason. Twice on sept 13 when acc was in use and set at 70 mph the car hard-braked and dropped to 40-42mph rapidly, then it stopped braking and I was able to use the accelerator again- the braking lasted perhaps 10-15 seconds. The third episode was on oct. 13 and the acc was not on. I was driving manually at 55 mph and again the car suddenly braked and dropped to the same 40-42 range- maybe 5-10 seconds before the accelerator started to work again. There was no reason for the barking, no warning notices on the dashboard. Thank goodness there was no-one close behind me on any of these occasions, because the drop in speed was fast and hard.

42 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2024

My whole dashboard is lit up high beams lane keeping assistance break system go’s off , seatbelt warning, my high beams this puts my safety at risk as my passengers. I have had this diagnosed by my mechanic. It came up on the computer that it is the front camera that is making this all happen. I told the Honda dealership they say there’s no recall? they said I would have to get it diagnosed for $260. I’ve already had that done. At the time I took it in for a recall on the fuel pump modulator also the back up camera cables, which they fixed.

43 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2024

Multiple warning lights and alarms sounding after starting the engine: collision mitigation system problem. Road departure mitigation system problem. Adaptive cruise control problem. Lane keeping assist problem. Auto high beam braking system error. When these warning lights are on, the vehicle continues to drive and brake as if these features were not installed. However, since the "brake system error" light is now always illuminated, there is no longer an on dash warning to indicate an actual problem with the braking system. This began in August of 2024 as a single episode. It escalated to intermittent occurrences. It now happens every time. Malfunctioning braking and lane minding systems pose obvious danger to passengers. Problem was noted by virginia state vehicle inspection station.

44 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2024

2019 Honda Pilot began throwing error messages every time the car is started around 8/1/24. Error messages include acc (adaptive cruise control problem), lkas (lane keeping assist problem), collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem and auto high-beam problem.

45 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 04/26/2024

Honda radar or multi purpose camera failed. Is available for inspection. Turns off extra safety features such as acc, lkas, lane departure system and cbms. Makes it more dangerous without said system. Unknown. Unknown. There were quite a bit of warning lamps, cbms problem, lkas problem, acc problem, auto high beam problem and more. They first appeared April 2024.

46 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2024

The front multipurpose camera that controls all safety features has failed. This is a major safety hazard because almost every safety feature is non functioning. These include automatic emergency brake, blind spot warning, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and all included in the adas.

47 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2024

The forward facing camera has failed causing the cruise control automatic, breaking land departure, and other various electrical problems due to the malfunction of the camera.

48 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2024

This morning 01/30/2024, I was travelling in the right lane of two on the highway. The vehicle slowed rapidly just about to a stop. I barely had time to pull to the right shoulder. I narrowly was struck from a vehicle travelling behind. This was from one of the safety mechanisms in the Pilot SUV I think the lane departure sensor. This was very scary. I feel this is a huge safety concern and need to report it. If I didn't have a shoulder what the heck would have happened to me. I probably would have been struck from behind and who knows possibly injured or worse. The shoulder was approximately 8 ft wide thankfully. Later that morning it did the same thing but this time many error messages appeared. Thankfully this time there was nobody behind me and was able to pull to the right shoulder again. The error messages are as follows 1) adaptive cruise control problem 2) brake system problem 3) power steering system problem 4) vehicle stability assist problem 5) hill start assist problem 6) trail stability assist problem 7) collision mitigation system problem 8) road departure mitigation system problem. The engine lost power and would not shift properly. About 15 minutes later the vehicle drove normal. The error messages were still there. I parked my car upon arrival to work. I saw that the rear brake lights stayed illuminated as if the brakes were depressed but they were not. I had no tools to disconnect the battery and the rear lights stayed on for the next several hours. I returned to the vehicle and thankfully it started. The vehicle error lights were still there on the dash. I put the vehicle in gear and started my way home. Again, the engine lost power and would not shift properly. About 15 minutes later the vehicle drove normal. The error messages were still there. I parked my car at my house and the rear lights were still illuminated. I had to disconnect the battery so the battery would not be drained and/or ruined. I feel like this is a severe safety issue.

49 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2024

The forward facing camera on the windshield is failing and warning lights on the dashboard keep going off making the adas system inoperative. This is also draining the battery. I am told that only Honda has the capability to troubleshoot and repair / replace this camera.

50 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2023

All my dash warning lights started coming on for adaptive cruise control, abs, lkas, front collision mitigation, road departure mitigation. They all came on at once. I took it to Honda and they said it’s a front camera issue and I’d need to pay $1800 to replace it. Researching it online, I’ve seen many Pilot owners that have had this same issue.

51 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2023

The acc, lkas, collision mitigation, high beam, lane departure warnings light errors are on. This happened 2 years ago and Honda wanted me to pay $1,200 to replace all sensors of this car. Of course I just left it. It's not worth the hassel. However, for a car bought brand new in 2019 to have these systems fail in 2023, and for this to be a main component advertised for consumers to buy vehicles, it is not good. We pay thousands of dollars for a car because it has these safety features only for it to fail within 4 years and then expect the customer to pay over $1,000 to fix, is simply not right.

52 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2023

Cms is not working. Just stopped.

53 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2023

The Honda sense camera failed due to an internal fault just outside the manufacturer's warranty. Dealership was needed to replace it in order to regain function at out of pocket cost. Upon the camera failing the driver is met with 5 warning lights that the following are no longer active: lkas, acc, automatic braking\forward collision warning, adaptive headlights, and lane mitigation system. You have to clear each of these before you can use the main dash (including mph). Cruise control is completely disabled. Although there is no asserted timeline for the life of the camera, research shows (and dealership sates) that this is a known issue. Reaching out to Honda's technical support team returns a somewhat blanket response stating that although campaigns exist for other issues with my VIN it is my monetary responsibility to handle this particular issue, although I was writing to the campaign department to add to the growing list of those with this particular issue in hopes of moving toward a recall, not because I expected there was one in place for this issue. For reference, vehicle was parked when issue began.

54 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2023

The cars Smart car controls stopped working. Acc, collision mitigation system, lkas, road departure mitigation, and auto high beam problem warning lights are on.

55 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2023

The acc and lkas do not work on my 2019 Honda Pilot. The dealer is saying that it is the front windshield camera. This put me and others at risk because the cruise control doesn't work, the lane assist dosen't work, the auto braking doesn't work. These controls are meant to help curb driver fatigue, and to basically keep your car in the proper lane and a safe distance from other cars. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer and can be fixed by the dealer by replacing the camera to the tune of $1900. 00. When you start the car you will get several warning messages about the acc, braking system and lkas not working. A recall should be put in place there are thousands of people experiencing this problem with several of the Honda models.

56 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2023

Was driving normal and the windshield camera radar fail, and a lot of warning lights come on, take to a dealer and told me that some internal part of the camera fail, and need to be replace, they estimate for that is $1600, now I’m driving with out automatic brake, no cruise control, no line keeping assistant, 2019 Honda Pilot ex-l, I think is a common problem and need to recall this,. Thank you.

57 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2023

When I turned on my vehicle errors started coming up collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto high beam problem, adaptive cruise control problem and lane keeping assist problem. Also has orange brake system highlighted. Unable to use any of the safety features mentioned as well as cruise control. Took vehicle to Honda dealer on February 6th and was informed the camera behind the rearview mirror had gone bad. There were no warnings prior. I had driven the vehicle around and stopped to get gas and when I turned it back on all the errors begun to appear. This was the first time they appeared and they have been there since as the dealer wanted over $1800 to repair this. After looking on the internet/facebook Honda Pilot group there have been several others that have had this same issue with their 2019 Honda Pilot.
