2018 Honda Odyssey forward collision avoidance problems

“All this warning lights just come on out of no where due to the safety camera feature on the windshield that controls all the safety features of the car and this vehicles are not even 10 years old and the repair cost is too expensive for just that camera and almost every Honda odyssey is having the same issue I think there should be a recall for that specific camera in my opinion.”

“It started back in July 2026; I had a warning pop up that some functions aren’t available and to clean front windshield camera. We did. Still received the warning. Sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not. I can go down the highway and it will come up and then a few miles later it’ll turn off and the functions work. Even driving around town it does it. I have noticed there are a lot of drivers of the 2018 models having this same issue.”

“I own a 2018 Honda Odyssey Touring. On May 29, 2026, I started the engine on my Odyssey and several dashboard system warnings appeared. The internet suggested having the battery tested and it was getting low, so I replaced the battery. The warning signs remained and caused several Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistance systems to become unavailable, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation, and Auto High Beams. Additionally, a Brake System warning appears on the dashboard. I have video recording of these warnings from when they first appeared in May. On September 2, 2026, the lights disappeared out of nowhere and all components worked. Later that same date, the lights were back and the components stopped working again. This happened again on October 13, 2026 - lights went off, then returned later in the day. The recurrent temporary reprieve from the lights makes me wonder if there is an electrical short in the rearview camera that controls those safety features. The diagnostics cost of this alone was going to be nearly $200. As numerous other similar…”

“Front radar/camera failure.All yellow ADAS warning lights turn on simultaneously (Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and Road Departure Mitigation). Problem has been confirmed by dealer. Safety is at risk by not having this crash prevention features on.”

“The forward monocular camera mounted on the windshield of the 2018 Honda Odyssey Elite failed, and this single point of failure turned off the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation, and Adaptive Cruise Control. A majority of the safety and assist features of the vehicle no longer work.”

“there is a very common issue with Hondas that the front camera behind the rear view mirror shuts down which causes many safety systems to shut down and nit work this happened to my car it is very unsafe as i am now missing five very important safety features and i am going to have to pay thousands to repair it. This problem has been confirmed by my mechanic as he inspected it. This happened randomly out of nowhere with no signs of this coming. The five components that do not work because of this camera failure are lane assist, auto high beam, lane departure, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning. This puts me and others at danger.”
