Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2022 Honda Pilot

Without any warning or incident, the multipurpose camera has failed and several systems are no longer available. Dtc u3000-49 this includes, cruise control not working as well as auto high beams and autobraking.

When I started my 2022 Honda Pilot special edition (VIN: [xxx] ) in a parking lot, the vehicle immediately behaved abnormally. As I attempted to turn into a space, the car unexpectedly accelerated and moved in an unintended direction. Despite pressing the brake pedal firmly, neither the standard brakes nor the automatic braking system responded. Shifting into park did not stop the vehicle, and the transmission did not engage to hold the car. The vehicle continued moving through the parking lot, striking property and other vehicles. The entire event felt like a loss of braking and control, with both the brake system and gear selector failing to function as intended. This was a sudden and dangerous incident that could have caused serious injury. The Honda dealer has confirmed there are no open recalls or campaigns for my VIN, but the event aligns with reports of unintended acceleration and brake failure in other 2022 Honda Pilot vehicles. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

As I was traveling from houma, la on a major highway to an out of state meeting. I started to hear a slight tapping sound and pulled over to inspect the sound. Upon inspection it seemed as though it was coming from the lower engine, or exhaust near the engine area. I located the nearest Honda dealership which was community Honda of lafayette with intentions of dealership inspection. It was approximately a 20 minute drive from the current location. As I was approaching the exit to the dealership the warning system lit up an check engine light. The manager at the dealership took the vehicle to the back and ran a scan and responded that it sounds like an exhaust leak. I got back on the road for my destination. Approximately an hour later while I was on I-10 all of the warning lights lit up at once, the engine jerked and shut off. I pulled over to inspect the vehicle again. I restarted the vehicle to work myself to a safe exit. The vehicle would not drive over 20mph. Once at a safe location I made concessions to have the vehicle carried back to my local Honda dealership, barker Honda in houma, la upon inspection by the Honda technicians it was found to have irreparable damage to the engine internals. Technician states this could occur to low oil and/ or lack of maintenance; however, the technician was perplexed by the failure because all maintenance and records in their system showed that the vehicle was properly maintained by their staff.

The adas camera has failed. It is extremely common. When it fails, all the lights for every system of adas comes on. None of them work. And it is not possible to turn off. Furthermore it sets codes for the brakes and turns on the brake warning lights. So none of the brake assist systems work either. Honda refuses to warranty any of these systems when the camera fails. It is across their entire line of vehicles with adas. If they can’t build a functional system, it should not have the system. Also, the system functions extremely poorly, when it was operating. It will drive the vehicle, unassisted, down to 20 mph, then just shuts off and lets the vehicle coast, unguided. Also, if the cruise is set and lane keeping on, and it can’t find lane lines, particularly where lanes merge, it will often veer left, into oncoming traffic. I have tested both of these, when the system was functioning “correctly”. The cruise and lane keeping just shuts off, at any speed, and lets the car go where ever it would without input. It is extremely dangerous.

It is constantly breaking when cars are coming the other way. It almost caused a vehicle to almost hit me. Also the auto shut off has almost caused accidents because it causes my car to stall and I wish I could keep it off and not have to push the button off every time.

Will engage brakes when nothing is present, when going around a curve, or certain times when the sun shines just right. The other day it did so causing a jarring pain to now be present in my back.

While driving on a road with a slight curve, the vehicle will detect an oncoming vehicle in the opposing lane and activate the automatic emergency braking system.

Car brake warning pops up on dashboard when there is no object directly in front of the car. This occurs when there is oncoming traffic in another lane and it has happened when I am going over train tracks. It's as if the concrete curb is in front of me. My car has never stopped abruptly. This has happened over the last few years. I was unaware to report it. I did bring it up to the dealer but they didn't seem to understand.

My brakes don’t working properly I feel a vibration when I brake and I have been close to colliding with vehicles and the emergency brake does not respond.

Vehicle repeatedly has applied emergency braking in situations where it should not have been applied. Generally, the problem is most likely to occur on two-lane roads with oncoming traffic and a bend to the right as viewed as I am driving. This has also occurred, to a lesser extent, on the highway when a car immediately in front slows and changes lanes to the right (as would be done to exit the highway). In this case, it seems like the system is too slow to recognize that the vehicle has changed lanes.

The car has used automatic braking 3 times for no reason. No one is front of us. It also used automatic braking and then made the car die? or lose all power and there was no object in front of us, in the middle of the road. We were almost rear ended and the vehicle would not let us move. It was horrible.

Wednesday 9/28, some cloud cover but nothing on the deck, mild temps, straight highway– traveling on I-90 eastbound at 10am, and past north bend and the 436th Ave se exit, our 2022 Pilot braked suddenly from 70 to about 40 mph accompanied by the red flashing braking light. At that point the west bound traffic is some 100 feet away from the eastbound. We were in the left line with a speed of 70 mph with acc activated. Just prior, I noticed an ambulance, westbound, with lights on – in the westbound left lane, as our cmbs went bonkers eastbound. Luckily, there were no other cars near us.

I have only owned this car, purchased new from the dealer, for a few weeks. Three times already the collision mitigation braking system has almost gotten me rear-ended (and almost got me punched by one of them who thought I slammed on my brakes on purpose. ) -once was on the expressway when I was changing lanes. I guess the car thought I was too close to the car in the lane I had already left, but it slammed on its brakes anyway causing a car behind me to have to avoid a collision with me. - the second was at a stop light waiting for a left turn arrow. There were several of us in line (obviously in close proximity to each other) and, when the green arrow came on to allow the turn, I started moving and the car slammed on its own brakes. The car behind me had to panic brake to avoid rear-ending me. He then started getting out of his car; furious that I'd just done that. - the third time was again from a stop at a red light, but going straight this time. The light turned green, I started moving, and after a couple seconds the car slammed on its brakes again almost getting me hit. There needs to be a way to permanently disable this feature rather than defaulting to "on" at every start. I will work on remembering to manually turn it off every start-up, and hopefully I can remember 100% of the time before someone gets injured.

While driving on the freeway my vehicle suddenly brakes without me pressing the brake. There were no vehicles in front of me to trigger the automatic brakes sensors. The brake warning light turned on and began flashing. I was almost hit from the back by the car behind me. My car is available for inspection upon your request. I have take my vehicle to dealer service center for other electrical issues.

When driving on highways and interstate the vehicle flashes brake when the is no reason to brake. This happens multiple times per day, in our commute. The 2nd thing (and most dangerous) is the auto braking. Several times on the interstate the car has done a hard brake while going interstate speeds, only there wasn’t a reason for it. No other vehicles were in front of us at the time. It has also happened several times on the state road that we drive daily. We have taken it to the dealership and were told it is functioning normal. It’s not. I have contacted Honda and I have a case number with them, but they have failed to contact me when they said they would (2 weeks late) we see this as an absolute danger to our family. We need an advocate. The issue is ongoing.
