Adaptive Cruise Control problems of the 2025 Honda Pilot

I was driving with my cruise control on, at the speed around 50 mph, thank goodness no other cars were around us, all of a sudden my car slammed on the brakes, a warning flashed but I happened so fast I wasn’t able to see what it said.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Pilot. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly decelerated, and the steering wheel started jerking. The messages eps failure, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control failure were displayed. The contact safely pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,200.

Acc and road departure mitigation system would become disabled for no apparent reason. A message would display on the instrument panel that there is a problem, to see your dealer. Also, a collision mitigation braking system problem would display on the instrument panel with a brake system warning light. A display on the instrument panel would show an area to clean (Honda emblem on front grill). I tried to clean this area several times to no avail. The weather was clear and warm when this occurred. The system has returned to normal on its own.

Some drive assist systems cannot operate: clean area shown. This message keeps appearing without any weather factors or anything to cause it. Happens nearly daily while using adaptive cruise. Then the next day without doing anything (like cleaning area) it starts working.

After driving my car from the dealer after purchase all the safety features have warning lights on the dash. Break system error ,electric power steering problem ,road departure mitigation problem, collision mitigation problem, lane keep assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, tsa problem, hill start assist problem, vsa problem, abs problem, electric parking brake problem. Its seems like all of the safety features are not working. I took the car to the dealer and said it was just a battery issue, they went ahead and replace the battery but it was still the same, all the error message came out soon after driving from the dealer service department. After that they said they will replace the speed wheel sensor. I got my car back hopefully that resolved the issues. This cars should not pass qc, this problem happened right after driving the vehicle of the dealer lot after purchase.

The automatic braking will brake unintentionally while driving on the highway or street. The vehicle will brake suddenly without warning. It will do this in all kind of conditions. It happens when there are no vehicles around as well. This is very scary and it has almost gotten us into accidents.

Electrical issues began around 15,000 miles. Since then, the vehicle has been in the shop many times for electrical-related concerns and has required towing twice. Most concerning, these failures have left us stranded in dangerous conditions on multiple occasions. These incidents represent serious safety risks to our family and others on the road. We have been diligent about regular maintenance as well. A Honda vehicle of this age and mileage should not experience repeated electrical system breakdowns that compromise vehicle control and driver safety. When the car errors come on the car has lost awd (while in the mountains in a snow storm) acceleration, the ability to change driving modes, and this most recent event we lost complete access to the driver panel and steering while driving. This electrical issue has been documented over 5 times and we have been told specifically by the dealers weve been towed or brought to "you may have drove it too hard" or "we reset the codes and the car is now driving fine" or "we can't find a problem". Most recently the alternator failed and they will not back to repair because it's past 36,000. We want to see Honda fix these issues before someone is seriously injured. We have photos and video of all of the warnings each time they happened. We also have documentation of each electrical failure, the date, the mileage and what we were told by the dealership in response.

While driving with speed control on the vehicle will show warning light in dash and say something is blocking front camera sensor. Causing mirrors to tint automatically xm radio to stop bluetooth problems and no crude control. Nothing blocking camera have to stop and restart vehicle. Throttle problems intermittent not smooth. To much throttle causing it to shift hard at start downshifting is hard and can also do this in reverse. Have had this at a dealer once and bring back again. They adjusted the throttle body. Seemed to do nothing.

Adaptive cruise control fails nearly every time the car is driven more than 40 minutes with acc activated. Failure indicated by warning lights and statement on dic. Dic instructs operator to clean the front "h" emblem on grille, however, the emblem is always completely clean. The failure has been reported 4+ times to the dealership. Dealership reports the failure is a known problem and there is no fix available from Honda. Upon system shut down the vehicle disengages cruise control and has rapid deceleration causing unsafe driving conditions while in traffic. System usually resets itself without cleaning or other remedies within 10-20 minutes after fail, and will usually fail again +/- 40 minutes later. Acc is marketed as part of the driver safety system and is unreliable. First occurrence was at 670 miles since new. Car now has < 10k miles and has failed 12+ times.

My car is cycling through warnings about several systems including braking, power steering, trailer stability assist, electric parking break, emissions, low speed braking, collision mitigation, cruise control, electric power steering.

There is an issue with 2025 Pilot safe systems such as adaptive cruise and blind spot detection. Honda knows about this issue and working on a fix however there is no eta.

The cruise control quits intermittently while driving. It has since November 2024. The Honda dealer says they do not have a fix. It increases driver fatigue and it surprises you as you are driving. The alert is to clean sensor, but cleaning doesn’t fix it. It has been inspected by harr Honda and they can’t fix it.

When we have taken this vehicle on the highway or interstate, the adaptive cruise control randomly disengages while driving and renders any cruise options unusable. When this happens the vehicle brakes hard while driving. The braking system also randomly brakes hard while driving, even if the cruise control is working. This is a huge safety concern as we are on the highway and interstate with several other vehicles around us. We are worried we will get in an impact collision from the rear. We have taken this vehicle to a certified Honda repair center four times for this specific concern and this 4th occurrence, the Pilot has been there for over 27 days with no resolution. This is a brand new vehicle and we have had this safety issue/faulty acc since we purchased it.

The system just shuts down. It may start working again but when it shuts down it is like you put on the brakes. Is usafe if you are being followed. 65.

While driving on a winding mountain pass traveling from bozeman, mt to butte, mt. I was driving my 2025 Honda Pilot in the inside lane while a semi was traveling in the outside lane ahead of me. As the road curved left, I approached as the semi was ahead in the next lane. I believe my Honda Pilot recognized this as a potential crash and braked hard causing the distance between me and the semi to increase dramatically, even though both vehicles were clearly in their own lanes. Fortunately there was nobody traveling immediately behind me.

My Honda Pilot 2025 vehicle's windshield cracked while driving on the interstate. The crack is on the driver side of the windshield, about 6 inches from the top. The crack begins as a single straight line before branching out into another curving line in the letter "l" shape. A passing vehicle kicked up rock or debris, which formed the crack. There was no collision or major impact on the vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by the manufacturer, but they were unable to assist me in any way because they did not have any windshields available or would be created in the near future for this vehicle. Recognizing the signs of poor-quality windshield, I believe the windshield quality was compromised to its structural integrity. I see it as very major issue in terms of the safety of the driver and passengers.
