36 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 04/22/2024

Front camera has failed. Dealership reports it needs to be replaced. I have crack in my windshield - now the glass company will not replace the windshield even with insurance because the camera is not working and they can’t calibrate. Having a camera on the windshield which doesn’t not work jeopardizes my family’s safety. There needs to be a plan in place to be able to replace windshield if the camera is not working and Honda should be investigated for front cameras failing. My car is just barely 3 years old. Why would a camera, which controls so many safety issues fail when a car is only 3? this should be investigated as a serious safety issue and as the rear cameras were recalled, the front should be invested too.

37 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2024

Frequently, my 2021 Honda will apply the brakes without warning or very abruptly. While using the adaptive cruise control, the car will brake suddenly when there is not a car anywhere near me. Also, when driving on two lane roads, the car slams on the brakes when there is not a car in front of me.

39 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 10/18/2023

1. Driving on a 2 lane highway, at about 65 mph, using cruise control. No vehicles ahead on me in my lane. Truck in oncoming lane caused dash to display brake warning. Brake came on momentarily, wheel was in staight forward position. 2. Have had similar problems with cruise. Driving at 45 mph in left lane, cruise on, car ahead of me moves to left turn lane, dash brake light comes on and brakes momentarily go on. For this took into Honda dealer, unable to replicate by their service tech.
