Adaptive Cruise Control Problems of Honda Pilot - part 1

I have had error codes disabling my high beams, cruise control and safety lane departure. The brake system light is still on. My Honda dealer said the front camera is out therefore disabling all others. This estimate is over $2000. I have seen many complaints on this. Why is this not a recall?.

My vehicle started experience intermittent warnings on the dashboard stating that there was a lane keep assist problem, auto high beam problem, adaptive cruise control problem, brake system problem, among other things. I took it to the dealer and it got a code of u3000-49 and it needed a complete replacement coatings over $2,000. From online searches this appears to be a common problem with many Honda vehicles and raises a huge safety concern as it appears to be a defective piece of equipment that shuts down many safety features on my vehicle.

The vehicle has a critical, severe multi-system factory safety defect involving structural steering/alignment and advanced driver assistance systems (adas) software. 1. Structural defect: from the time of delivery, the vehicle had out-of-specification factory alignment causing extreme handling instability, violent chassis/brake vibrations under acceleration/braking, and severe, premature tire rubber scrubbing/burning. Hayward Honda documented factory alignment failure on July 9, 2026, at 1,615 miles. Autonation Honda fremont documented severe vehicle pulling and drifting on September 4, 2026, at 2,533 miles. 2. Life-threatening adas software crash: the Honda sensing suite, specifically lane keeping assist system (lkas) and adaptive cruise control (acc), intermittently malfunctions, short-circuits, and drops connection. On a high-speed bridge en route to san francisco airport, while traveling with my teenage son, the automated steering suddenly and violently jerked completely out of the lane to the left, attempting to collide with an adjacent vehicle. A fatal crash was avoided solely by instantaneous manual driver physical intervention to overpower the electronic steering rack. Dealership service management has admitted on paper that these safety features operate at a restricted 60% to 70% capacity, making the vehicle an immediate public safety hazard on public roads. Honda corporate has failed to issue a recall or buyback over a three-month escalation matrix.

My car started showing dash indicators for problems with collision mitigation braking (cmbs), lane keeping assist (lkas), adaptive cruise control (acc), road departure mitigation (rdm), and other driver?assist functions. I took my car to the dealership and was notified there was an issue with the electrical for the front camera and it needs to be replaced. I was quoted for over $2000 to fix this issue. After some research, it appears this is a known issue and has affected several others and there is currently a class action lawsuit regarding the issue. U3000?49 is a safety issue because the failed camera disables multiple collision?avoidance and lane?keeping systems, removing automated protections that help prevent accidents.

On October 7, 2026, at approximately 131,425 miles, my 2020 Honda Pilot elite suddenly displayed multiple Honda sensing safety-system failures simultaneously without prior warning. The vehicle displayed adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, and auto high-beam problem. I shut the vehicle completely off and restarted it, but the warnings returned. These failures appear to disable multiple advanced driver-assistance and collision-avoidance functions at the same time. I have found reports from other 2020 Honda Pilot owners describing similar simultaneous Honda sensing failures, including reported failures of the multipurpose forward camera. I am having the vehicle diagnosed and will retain the diagnostic trouble codes and repair information. I am reporting this because the simultaneous loss of multiple collision-avoidance and driver-assistance safety systems appears to be a potential safety-related defect.

Honda Pilot 2020 sensing multipurpose camera failure. Dtc u3000-49.

While driving with acc active, I engaged lkas. After approximately 30-40 seconds, acc and lkas disengaged and all sensor warning lights illuminated and sensors as well as acc and lkas would no longer work. Warning lights and error messages on instrument cluster continue to show since this happened. Vehicle starts and runs normally otherwise. Battery tested and is healthy. Obd ii shows no codes. New windshield was installed in July 2026 by safelite.

Honda dtc u3000-49 internal electronic failure of the multipurpose camera. Ran into an issue where most if not all system modules began flashing warnings in the instrument cluster. The last time this happened, we found our original factory Honda battery to have finally failed. We replaced the battery 6 months ago, thus it's basically new. Naturally we thought possibly that something happened to the battery again, so we brought it back to goodyear, and they ran tests. Alternator charging system was good, and so was the battery. They reset the system, and all of the warning lights went away for about 5 minutes. After idling for about 5 minutes, all of the random warning lights came back on the instrument cluster. Since the system was reset, the only thing that was flagged after pulling the codes post-reset was u3000-49, which after some research appears to be somewhat common. I talked to my local Honda dealer and they said the cost to fix this is in the mid to high $2000 range. I had to pay goodyear $67. 98 due to the fault not being with their installed battery, and they let the car go saying they couldn't do anything, so I contacted Honda.

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.

My front sensor camera has malfunctioned which is causing numerous failing safety systems such as lkas, adaptive cruise control and automated braking.

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.

A cascade of warning errors suddenly appeared in my 2021 Honda Pilot. Lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, collission mitigation system, auto high bean, and road departure mitigation problem. The brake system light is also lit up. My mechanic said it is a "millimeter wave error" caused by one of the front cameras. After researching this, it seems that this is a common problem, and there is an active lawsuit.

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.

The front facing camera failed. Cruise control doesn’t work. Emergency braking doesn’t work. Lane departure warnings and lane keeping assistance doesn’t work. Forward collision warning doesn’t work. The forward facing camera failure was confirmed by an independent mechanic. Warning lights in the driver’s display show that the safety features are not working.

I had the front passenger side airbag recall completed on my vehicle on July 1, 2026. In August, approximately August 14 error messages started occurring whenever I cranked my vehicle. The error messages were collision mitigation system problem, road department mitigation system problem, auto high beam problem, adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem. I was able to have the vehicle inspected at stokes Honda in beaufort and was told that it was the front facing camera failure. I have owned this vehicle for 2 years with no issues.

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.
