1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2025

At 48,000 miles, the vehicle began to experience multiple advanced driver assistance systems problems, including adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assistance, which rendered all these systems inoperable. Systems that were designed to mitigate collisions became non-functional, and continuous warnings on the dashboard were a distraction while driving. Dealer scanned the vehicle with a code u300-40 multipurpose camera unit/millimeter wave radar internal electronic failure, and diagnosed a failure of the multipurpose camera, which was then replaced and recalibrated. I have retained the failed unit after paying to have the replacement installed and calibrated. All warning lamps for the above mentioned systems flashed on my dashboard every time the vehicle was started, prior to the dealer repair. The safety of the driver and those around them was affected because repairs for this safety feature suite may be cost prohibitive to some ($2000) and they just won't fix it.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 10/05/2023

While driving on a 4 lane road with a passing lane the automatic emergency braking system started slowing the vehicle down for a vehicle in the left hand turning lane. It was not directly in front of me. The warning tone and brake flashing alarm come on frequently when driving on 2 lane roads and a vehicle is coming from the other direction. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times to have it corrected and was told everything is working correctly and for me to turn the system off.

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 02/23/2022

On 2/23/2022, I was driving my Ridgeline on local roads with 40 mph speed limits. On 2 separate occasions, the "brake" flashed on the dashboard for no reason. There were no obstructions ahead. The warning appeared for a second or two and then disappeared. I felt no braking of the vehicle. I have previously reported this incident by email, and has been assigned #491499 2021 Honda Ridgeline-brake warning on dashboard.
