Assist Problems of Honda Pilot - part 2

Several system failures relates to a faulty multipurpose camera used by the Honda sensing system from collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control and land keeping assist. Multipurpose camera premature failure leads to loss of several safety features.

The camera on the windshield fails when then the windshield gets too hot when you are driving and causes the safety systems to stop functioning ( lane assist, blind spot, etc). See attached pictures. This is a major design flaw and Honda should recall and replace the cameras on all 2022 Honda Pilots. I live in the desert in el paso, texas and this happens when you are driving . See my attached pictures that occurred at 83 degrees and 93 degrees, respectively. Please help me before there is a fatal injury.

All safety/collision prevention systems related to camera have become inoperative. Vehicle will not lane keep assist, emergency brake, or notify of possible collisions. Problem occurs every time vehicle is turned on.

The windshield camera (aka "monocular camera") appears to be failing prematurely. According to internet research, this appears to be an overheating problem in the design of monocular camera. This results in a litany of dashboard errors like the following: collision mitigation problem, road departure mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, braking system error, auto high beam problem.

Received five warning lights at idle. Adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto high beam problem. None of these safety features work in my vehicle. I have taken this to the dealership to troubleshoot the issue and they confirm that the issue is there and said that it was the multi-purpose camera on the rear view mirror. This will end up costing around $2,000 to repair. Without these safety systems, my family is obviously not as safe. . . As a consumer we pay extra for all the engineering and the physical components to have these safety features. Otherwise, I could have saved $20,000 and bought a 2000s model suburban that doesn't have these safety features.

We own two Hondas. On December 18, 2024 someone stole the radar senders from both vehicles. I takes a little over a minute to steal these. The Honda dealer states that Honda corp has offered no solution. Beyond expense this negates the cars high tech safety features which makes the vehicle unsafe to drive per the numerous warning that flash on the dash board. As you can understand, there is no effective way to stop this safety defect from reoccurring. The solution may be an encrypted design for the sensor, that only works on the car it was installed on. Police report cannot be made until we know the accurate repair cost.

Four warning lights have been on for the past week. Brought it to Honda for diagnosis and repair, and they state that the multi-purpose camera has failed and will need to be replaced at a cost of $1,900. This is seems like a huge safety issue and, after reading several forums, appears to be a global issue.

Upon startup, lkas, acc, fcw and brake lights are illuminated and the corresponding systems are non-functional. This failed with less than 50k miles and the car was ~3 years old. This is making the car less safe to drive because some of the safety systems are non functional. The basic cruise control also does not work.

Multiple safety features are failing on this 2021 Honda Pilot. At startup, I get the following errors: collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem. Dealership says the camera inside the vehicle needs to be replaced and it will cost $1,800. It looks like many people with similar models are encountering this problem with very young vehicles.

All of the following lights came while driving on and have stay on. Lane keep assist adaptive cruise control collision mitigation. After some research, this looks to be a know problem for Honda.

After two weeks of purchasing this vehicle the whole system just turn off. The first time it happens was on a Tuesday afternoon. I turn the vehicle off. As I return to the car a few minutes later I couldn't start the car. Everything was off no power on, the lights were off, engine, doors where lock. Waited an hour them the car engine started up. Two days later the same issue again call the town truck for help. Two hours later the town truck arrive then the car started again. Took it to the dealer but they didn't find anything. On the six time I left the car at the dealer for 3 weeks but they couldn't fix it again. 3 weeks later they think they fix the issue but nope same issues after picking up the car again. Please don't sell this vehicle to another person. I am returning the car but as a first time owner of Honda I don't recommended.

2019 Honda Pilot began throwing error messages every time the car is started around 8/1/24. Error messages include acc (adaptive cruise control problem), lkas (lane keeping assist problem), collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem and auto high-beam problem.

Upon turning on my vehicle all of the emergency warnings came on. I did a diagnostic and was shown that nothing was wrong with the vehicle but the warnings will not reset.

I was traveling with my daughters [xxx] , and [xxx] , in the back seat. It started raining heavy just as I passed a vehicle and returned to the right lane. I reduced my speed, then felt the vehicle hydroplane slightly and felt the traction control system engaged. As soon as the traction control icon displayed, I began to feel the traction slipping and noticed a slight unresponsiveness in the steering. My speed suddenly dropped 15-20 mph, without braking, or any change in pressure on the accelerator. I then tried to accelerate, but was unable to possibly because of loss of traction I noticed the traction light was flashing. The vehicle I had just passed moments before was quickly approaching at roughly 65 mph (speed limit was 70 mph) and had no warning of the issue with my vehicle decelerating, luckily they were paying attention and able to pass safely. When they passed, I pulled off the road and had these warnings on the screen: - collision mitigation braking system. Cmbs problem. - lane keeping assist problem. - road departure mitigation system problem. I placed the vehicle in park, shut it off, then restarted it. The error messages went away, then came back on as soon as I started driving. The traction control light remained off and the rain subsided, but the warnings remained. Dealership is supposed to inspect Wednesday 07/31/24. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Acc, lkas, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system, and auto high beam problem warnings all appear on instrument panel. None of these systems work. Have replaced battery and problem not fixed. Warnings continue to appear each time car is turned on. Vehicle has 47783 miles on it. Codes indicate there’s a problem with the camera in the front of the car. The car is only 3 years old. Shouldn’t be having these issues. Have researched online and found many other complaints from others from various Honda models. Major safety problem that warrants a recall.

Drive car normal . Park car went in building to work. After work start cart and on highway going home all lights came on on dashboard. Mechanic said front camera is burnt due to excessive heat.

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.

Warning lights for the acc, lkas and fcw have been blinking everyday. One day they just started blinking. I took to dealership and they said it's $180 to diagnose issue. I have seen 100s of pist of different forums about the issue which means it is a known problem. As of the last 6 months or so these features do not work on the car.

All electrical systems failed at once due to a malfunction in the front camera-sudden failure with no damage to the vehicle physically. Honda refuses to fix or honor the issue. A recall should be required due to the vast amounts of complaints on the same issues. This should not be a financial responsibility on the owner.

The forward facing camera has failed causing the cruise control automatic, breaking land departure, and other various electrical problems due to the malfunction of the camera.

Today, while I was driving, the vehicle information display suddenly started flashing warnings indicating that the following systems were experiencing errors, leading to potentially reduced brake performance. I was advised to take the car to the dealer for diagnosis and immediate remediation: anti-lock braking system (abs) hill start assist lane departure and correction assist brake hold system however, when we stopped and attempted to turn off the car in the usual manner, it wouldn't shut down. It took two attempts to finally turn off the car. The indicators began flashing again when the car was restarted, but after turning off the car again and waiting for 10 minutes, then restarting it, the warning messages disappeared. I managed to take pictures of at least two warnings as they were displayed on the vehicle information screen: hill start assist and anti-lock braking system (abs). This is a brand new car, and it's concerning to encounter such issues with only 1,215 miles on the odometer. I request that the NHTSA investigate this matter with Honda’s manufacturing to ensure these problems are clarified and rectified before they lead to any accidents.

In late December of 2023, our 2020 Honda Pilot began showing a "brake system" warning light, as well as numerous dashboard warnings indicating that automatic cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation, automatic high beam, and lane departure were not functioning properly. Our local Honda dealer diagnosed the vehicle as having a multipurpose camera failure. There were no accidents or damage of any sort that preceded this incident, and replacement of this camera cost us nearly $2000 out of pocket (invoice attached). . Read more...

All my dash warning lights started coming on for adaptive cruise control, abs, lkas, front collision mitigation, road departure mitigation. They all came on at once. I took it to Honda and they said it’s a front camera issue and I’d need to pay $1800 to replace it. Researching it online, I’ve seen many Pilot owners that have had this same issue.

The vehicle pulls hard to the right when the driver lets go of the steering wheel for a few sseconds. This happens with lka on or off. This happens no matter which lane is being driven in or what speed. The alignment has been verified 4 different times at both an independent mechanic and Honda dealer. Honda is unwilling or unable to remedy the situation. New tores did not fix the pull, rotation did not correct it. They basically told us there was nothing wrong with the car. This is dangerous because the car will end up in the ditch if the driver is incapacitated or distracted for just a few seconds. This is an expensive vehicle that we were confident was safe. Our oldest will be driving this car in a few short weeks. Not sure we feel safe letting him.

The abs, brake, and traction control lights come on when the slightest bump in the road is hit. I am being told by the Honda dealership technician that the issue is a $2000. 00 sensor that must be replaced but however is on back order. I am told that this very sensor controls the steering, traction, and brakes. I am told that the brakes can disengage or not engage at any time.

The Honda sense camera failed due to an internal fault just outside the manufacturer's warranty. Dealership was needed to replace it in order to regain function at out of pocket cost. Upon the camera failing the driver is met with 5 warning lights that the following are no longer active: lkas, acc, automatic braking\forward collision warning, adaptive headlights, and lane mitigation system. You have to clear each of these before you can use the main dash (including mph). Cruise control is completely disabled. Although there is no asserted timeline for the life of the camera, research shows (and dealership sates) that this is a known issue. Reaching out to Honda's technical support team returns a somewhat blanket response stating that although campaigns exist for other issues with my VIN it is my monetary responsibility to handle this particular issue, although I was writing to the campaign department to add to the growing list of those with this particular issue in hopes of moving toward a recall, not because I expected there was one in place for this issue. For reference, vehicle was parked when issue began.

The acc and lkas do not work on my 2019 Honda Pilot. The dealer is saying that it is the front windshield camera. This put me and others at risk because the cruise control doesn't work, the lane assist dosen't work, the auto braking doesn't work. These controls are meant to help curb driver fatigue, and to basically keep your car in the proper lane and a safe distance from other cars. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer and can be fixed by the dealer by replacing the camera to the tune of $1900. 00. When you start the car you will get several warning messages about the acc, braking system and lkas not working. A recall should be put in place there are thousands of people experiencing this problem with several of the Honda models.

1st incident: I was traveling on country road. I was approaching two bicyclists on the right. With no oncoming traffic, I began to move into the other lane to go around the bicyclists. The warnings appeared on my dash, and the steering wheel pulled the car back towards the bicyclists. 2nd incident: I was traveling on a country road, goin over a hill. The cameras must have lost sight of the lane markers, dash flashed the lane departure warning and the steering pulled the vehicle towards the oncoming lane. There was a motorcycle approaching & I steered the vehicle back to the appropriate lane position. 3rd incident: my husband was driving on a country road. A tractor and farm implement was approaching in the oncoming lane. My husband slowed down & moved to the right of his lane to give the tractor more room. The lane departure warning flashed & the steering pulled the vehicle back towards the tractor/implement. We returned to the dealership & had them shut this feature off.

While driving on highways that have had repairs done my lane departure sensing system has kicked in and both jerked my car over as well automatically slowed the speed. The issue is that the car's sensors are reading the material used to repair the roads as if they are the lane markers and have pulled me out of an actual lane and caused my car to slow while on the expressway. Twice this has happened during rush hour and I was nearly rear ended twice and almost hit a car in the lane next to me once. To be clear: in each of these incidents I was in a proper lane and was not drifting. The lane had repairs/patches done which caused the car's sensors to misread the lane's boundaries.

This is new Honda Pilot 2021 trim ex-l purchase in Dec,2020. Miles 3300. It seems Honda is having software issues. Without on of lane keeping assist system (lkas) feature is activating automatically and taking over driving or steering of the vehicle and attempt to steer the vehicle back into the center of the lane. Basically it's giving false indicator without on of lkas feature and due to this issue driver is becoming panic situation this will be safety issue and this will cause problems for others safety as well(putting other at risk while driving). This is appearing from past one week onwards. Called Honda customer care about this issue and informed. They have taken a notes to inform r&d/technical team and suggested to take to service to determine system failed or malfunctioned.
