Adaptive Cruise Control Problems of Honda Pilot - part 1

Unknown. I took it to a local shop and they did read the codes but were unable to find camera or fix anything. I have 5 warnings that all came on one after one. Can not be cleared. We reset battery and a few simple fixes that didn’t work. Following warnings: auto high beam problem, lane keeping assist problem, road departure mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, and collision mitigation system problem. I was driving on a smooth road with no issues and nothing happened, they just started going off one at a time. We have an appointment with Honda dealer on Tuesday September 29th 2026 to drop off to get checked out. I took it to my local shop on 9/24/26 with in an hour of it happening. Picked my car up from that shop on 9/25/26 they checked it out and said it was safe to drive but not something they could fix for me. I called Honda 9/25/26 that morning after picking up my car and they gave me the appointment.

All of the safety feature lights turned on. The dealer's solution was for me to pay attention when I drive and wipe the senor because everything works fine. I was also told to bring it in and they can get the lights to turn off by turning off all of the safety features.

All safety features turned off. I had a professional mechanic shop inspect. Since this happens randomly, they cannot provide exact diagnosis. This is a major safety risk! after I picked it up from the mechanic, I drove approximately 200 miles before the next occurance, while on a major interstate. All safety features turned off again. This is such a danger to all, driver & passengers to be on any roadway without safety features.

Lost power on steering wheel while driving, unable to turn left/right. All of the warning lights related to braking, lane assist, hill descent, adaptive cruise control, trailer stability assist, hill start assist, low speed breaking, auto-high beam, parking sensor detector, etc. . "all wheel drive system problem. Only front wheels may be powered. See your dealer. ".

Abnormal operation and intermittent failure of multipurpose camera, my dashboard is showing warning lights for lkas, cruise, auto-high beams, collision mitigation, road departure mitigation.

While driving to work this morning. Rate of speed under 45 mph with no apparent issues. Suddenly warning lights on the dash lit up and steering became difficult. Three separate information warnings: lane keeping assist problem, electric power steering problem, adaptive cruise control problem. I was able to continue to drive the 3 miles to work. Had to use 2 hands and pull hard on the steering wheel to pull into the parking lot from the street. Actually had to stop the car, turn it off and restart it just to get into a parking space. Turned engine off twice, both times all warning lights came back on on the dash when I restarted the car. I only have 29,043 miles on this vehicle. It was unsettling to find myself in an unsafe situation today.

Warning lights and problems.

Warning lamps for lkas, acc, auto lights and brake system started to appear. Honda diagnostics have pointed to an electrical failure with the multipurpose camera. The Honda representative admitted that this is a very common failure. I was told the car is “safe to drive” but there are constant brake system warning lights flashing on my dash. The net result is that I have no ability to know whether there is an actual brake system failure if one were to occur.

My 2021 Honda Pilot displayed a u3000 diagnostic trouble code, indicating an internal electronic failure of the front-facing multipurpose camera that operates the vehicle's Honda sensing safety systems (collision mitigation braking system, lane keeping assist system, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control). As a result, these safety systems became inoperative. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer, who confirmed the u3000 code and quoted approximately $2,000 to replace the camera unit. I have since learned this is a widely reported failure across multiple Honda and Acura models (pilot, odyssey, cr-v, accord, civic, hr-v, clarity, rdx, mdx) and is the subject of a proposed class action lawsuit alleging Honda knew of the defect and failed to disclose it or issue a recall. I am filing this report to document the failure and its safety impact.

All of the components associate with the advanced driver assistance systems (adas) on my 2021 Honda passport failed at the same time. From what I have learned, they are all associated with the windshield-mounted camera (also called the monocular camera or lane assist camera) that controls safety features like the lane keeping assist system (lkas) and lane departure warning, among others. The dashboard lights for all of these features remain illuminated, meaning that none of these safety features are working. The module/camera has a history with this vehicle of overheating and failing. My safety is at risk because all of these features are now disabled until the part is replaced. I took my vehicle to a local mechanic but not to a Honda dealership. I have been told that there is no recall issued, but that the problem is widespread throughout 3-4 years of this model of Honda passports. To replace this part, I have been told costs consumers $1800-$2400, and can only be done at the dealership. There were no problems with the vehicle prior to the failure of the part. The vehicle is a 2011 model with 66,000 miles on it.

My 2022 Honda Pilot black edition (VIN 5fnyf6h07nb042859, 62,900 miles) has multiple intermittent safety?critical failures involving the transmission, acceleration, adaptive cruise control, and hvac blower. These issues occur without warning and without diagnostic trouble codes. Transmission/acceleration failure: most recent incident was 7/30/26 on highway 71 during heavy traffic. The vehicle twice experienced rapid deceleration with no ability to reach a safety stop. Rpm dropped below 1000, then spiked to 6,000–8,000 while the vehicle continued to lose speed. Acceleration returned only after several seconds. This also occurs during highway merging and uphill acceleration. Additionally, when disengaging cruise control and immediately pressing the accelerator, the vehicle loses speed, rpm drops abnormally low, then spikes before power returns. Adaptive cruise control/Honda sensing failure: on 7/30/26, the vehicle rapidly decelerated when a semi?truck was beside me, despite no vehicle ahead. The week prior, while driving several states away, setting cruise at 70 mph caused sudden deceleration and cruise resetting itself to ~54 mph. These events resemble phantom braking and radar mis?targeting. Hvac blower failure: during a long multi?state trip the week prior, the ac blower (speed 3–4) intermittently stopped blowing for several seconds, then resumed at the same speed with no change to the display. These failures affect powertrain, forward collision avoidance, vehicle speed control, electrical systems, and cabin equipment. The dealership (roush Honda, westerville OH) cannot replicate the issues and reports no stored codes. These defects pose significant safety risks.

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.

The front camera has been identified as having a malfunction and needing repair. It causes all of the Honda sensors to show error lights. Adaptive cruise, lkas system, lane departure, and breaking lights all are lit up as errors. The vehicle's built-in safety protocols do not work due to the malfunctioning camera. This problem has been verified by the Honda dealership. There were no warning signs prior to the malfunction. This is a $1,700 repair. It is caused by a faulty part on the vehicle. A quick google search shows that this is a known fault, and that there is a pending class action lawsuit against Honda for this very issue and cost of repair. This desperately needs to be addressed in a recall ASAP.

While driving the vehicle on a family trip all of the driver assist functions shut off. Cruise control, lane assist, etc. Numerous warning lights were triggered including brake system. Most noted the various driver assist functions became disabled. We had the vehicle codes read by a couple non-dealer locations. The obd readers indicted that everything was fine with no codes being presented suggesting an error. Vehicle could be driven but none of the standard safety features with the camera system worked. Took it to Honda dealer (Honda marysville, ohio) who performs all service on the vehicle. They concluded a faulty main camera and noted there were no recalls attributed to the device. Information we researched suggests these camera's should last the life of the vehicle or at least 10 years. This car's windshield has never been replaced, and the car spends 75% of it's time in a garage. All mileage on the vehicle is highway mileage. Researched information suggests changing the windshield or subjecting cameras to extreme heat (sitting in sun all day, every day) can result in damage but this car was not subject to any of that from it's manufacture. Online forums suggest this issue is impacting both Honda Pilot's and Honda ridgeline, with a lot more complaints on the ridgelines. I have all paperwork from Honda and requested the part be returned to us for which Honda complied. No accident occurred as a result of the faulty camera.

Driving on the road and heard static noise from the infotainment system after an update. I pressed the collision mitigation braking system button and the dashboard had multiple warnings and disabling the entire advanced driver assistance systems (adas). The drive light starting blinking and a message appreaed to get to a Honda dealer. The Honda dealer inspected the front camera in the top of the windshield and said it needed to be replaced.

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 have issues with my 2019 Honda Pilot front windshield camera. When the front-facing camera malfunctions, it simultaneously shuts down multiple Honda sensing driver-assistance systems. The front sensor camera mounted behind the windshield fails or glitches, causing simultaneous failures in adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and lane-keeping assist. The failure triggers a cascade of multiple warning messages (such as "adaptive cruise control problem" or "road departure mitigation system problem") I want Honda to repair it under recall.

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.

At least 4 times since we bought this vehicle in 2025, it has suddenly braked very hard, and very suddenly at highway speeds. This has always happened when using the car's adaptive cruise control, and when I am passing a large vehicle (semi truck, pickup with large camper, etc). This has happened at relatively high highway speeds (85 mph) when vehicles are behind me in the passing lane. The problem has never been reproduced or confirmed by the dealer, although I have complained about it twice. The first time, they said they lowered the sensitivity of the crash detection. The second time they showed me how to manually turn off adaptive cruise control manually. There was no prior warning when this happened, no lights or messages. This has happened about 4 times since fall of 2025. The date below is approximately the last time, and the last location that this happened.

The vehicle came to a complete stop while attempting to enter the highway. As I accelerated to gain speed, and the vehicle halted down to stop, all sensor warning systems started to light up on the dashboard: adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, parking collision warning, lane keeping assistance -- all sensors flashing simultaneously. As our vehicle stopped, the vehicles around us in the highway had to abruptly stopped as well, causing a serious hazard, not only to myself and my family, but also the potential for a serious injury to other as well. This incident happened to us twice, and my passenger was able to record a video of the dashboard, as all the sensors were flashing and the vehicle switch to neutral on its own coming to a stop. We explained to the Honda dealership service department and after the second time, they kept the vehicle for service and it has been over (30) days since we had any update. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership, and it is still there as parts are in back order, but there are not sure of what the real problem is. There were no previous warnings of this problem, the vehicle is a 2024 Honda Pilot elite with 30,174 miles, and still under dealer warranty. This is the 3rd Honda Pilot I ever owned and never experienced anything like this before. My biggest concern is that if they do not fix this vehicle properly or if it is defective, my life and my family's will be in danger every time we drive it, as we do not know when it will decide to stop while driving.

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.

The vehicle suddenly made audible and visual warnings stating critical error. All of the safety features handled by the forward-facing multipurpose camera stopped working. Honda stated the camera has failed (common issue based on research), and is a costly repair. Vehicle less than 6 years old, all maintenance completed timely by Honda, mileage 81k.

My Honda has recently began displaying adas failure where none of the features work including cruise control. I took to a mechanic and they displayed code u3000. This seems to be a common issue that Honda is not addressing. The fee to repair is over $1500 and the car is less than 5 years old. This is a safety issue.

The car brakes for cars parked on the side of the road when using cruise control if the road curves. Today, it braked on train tracks while there was nothing impeding our path for at least a mile.

2021 Honda Pilot with 9,800 miles. Failed vsa modulator directly related to the braking system. Warning lights: vehicle stability assist, trailer stability assist, collision mitigation system, adaptive cruise control problem. Problem confirmed by pensacola Honda service center and awaiting repair assistance from american Honda as they refuse to offer goodwill credit for repair due to being out of warranty, despite extremely low mileage and excellent condition of vehicle.

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.

Warning lights for adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation, road departure, and auto high beam all came on simultaneously. From reading several Pilot forums, this seems to be very widespread and dealerships want anywhere between 1500 and 1900 to replace and calibrate the camera system which controls these functions. If it’s widespread, the vehicles should be recalled.

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???.

Monocular windshield camera premature part failure. 36160-tg8-a72-m1. Premature failure of the part causes all included safety systems to be disabled, and also negatively impacts standard cruise control. The part was sent for repair and the lens was thermally degraded as well as processor board non functional. There was no thermal paste installed on the processor. When the camera fails, an improper transmission failure warning light also appears on the dashboard, which prevents smog testing from being completed despite the camera system not impacting emissions at all.
