What owners say about the forward collision avoidance

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“The front camera that controls all of the safety features has malfunctioned. The camera will randomly function about once per month without issue, typically when the temperature outside is higher than 100 degrees and it has been parked facing the sun. Honda confirmed it is the front camera, estimate is over $2k to replace and recalibrate the camera. This issue is not from regular wear and tear and there has been no accident that could have caused it. This is a common manufacturer issue with Odysseys. My brother has a 2020 and they had to replace their front camera after just 4 years. I found many others on Reddit with the same problem.”

“The front ADAS camera fails to work about 80% of the time, which gives me many warning alerts. My Honda mechanic said that it has a U3000-49 error code, which disables all primary driver-assist safety functions (CMBS braking, Adaptive Cruise, and Lane Keep Assist). This is clearly a safety hazard due to unexpected loss of active crash-mitigation tech. This problem has not caused me to be in an accident yet. However, because of this failure, the vehicle does not perform many of its expected crash-mitigation functions, which may contribute to a future collision.”

“When starting the vehicle there is a cascade of sensor warning errors that will keep popping up intermittently even pressing the ”enter “ button to dismiss them. The Crash Mitigation sensor has been reported several times to the local dealership and they have said that nothing is wrong with it. This behavior began when the van was still under warranty which has since ended. The main reason for this report is that I have no idea if there’s going to be any issues with it automatically braking and causing an accident or anything else such as not being able to dim my headlights, have no indication of other drivers being in my blind spots, lane assistance not working properly and the emergency brake not working properly. Aside from these issues is the fact that the errors keep coming up on my speedometer screen, blanking everything else out that is necessary information, to safely drive the van. The tire pressure sensors are also malfunctioning which is also a concern I brought up with my dealership and they refused to admit there were any problems with it. The crash mitigation sensor will create an error just from being in the heat according to the mechanic with…”

“UNKNOWN. The Honda dealer ( Arrow Head Honda, 8380 W Bell Rd, Peoria, AZ 85382) is not repairing the recall, even after multiple follow-up, putting the driver at risk. This has been more than 60days since the recall is announced. Every time, I contacted the dealer, They say that There is no parts available.”

“While driving multiple alerts pop up on the dashboard distracting driver. Had 6 alerts that kept beeping while driving. Took to honda and they say forward facing camera has issues so affects all of these systems. Causing all the safety systems to not work. This car only has 55,000 miles and is only a few months out of warranty. With all the other rear camera recalls, this seems like a way bigger safety concern!”

“SO MANY WARNING SIGNS ON DRIVER'S SIDE DASH DISPLAY. IT IS RELATED WITH FRONT WINDSHEILD MULTI PURPOSE CAMERA. SO I HAD TO PAY NORM REEVES HONDA DEALER TO REPAIR AND RECALIBER. IT COST ME AROUND $2,500.”
