Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“Multiple dashboard warnings appeared simultaneously and deactivating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Auto High Beam, Blind Spot Information, and Brake System warning. While on cruise control vehicle tends to slam brakes with no reason and nothing in front - major safety issue for driver.”
“My 2022 Honda Pilot SE recently alerted me to multiple system failures in the Honda Sensing features including Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning and Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control. These errors were due to a failing front facing camera mounted by the rearview mirror. There is currently a class action lawsuit for this specific issue with more information here: [XXX] I believe that these Honda Sensing features are heavily marketed as part of the safety systems that Honda has installed and need to be covered by an extended warranty as the camera failure causes multiple systems to be cancelled or inoperable.”
“After Automatic Braking engaged, within a couple days car will make a zipper noise and gas pedal will not work. Have to press it 5-6 times and then it will start working again. Very dangerous when you have cars traveling behind you and you basically start slowing down immediately. But today, not sure if related, backed out of driveway on a slope, car went immediately to park with a large sound like the bottom falling out of the car and shook the car. Several warnings kept flashing (emissions, transmission, and P for park was flashing). I powered car off and back on was able put in N to let it coast backward to get out of the road. Completely shut everything off waited a couple minutes and was able to drive it back to my driveway and there was fluid leaking from underneath halfway between the front to tires. Calling dealership tomorrow”
“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 2022 Honda Pilot began experiencing this problem in approximately November 2025. Since then, the vehicle has repeatedly displayed multiple safety-system warnings simultaneously, including Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, and Auto High-Beam Problem. The ACC and LKAS warning indicators also illuminate. The problem is persistent but intermittent. Approximately 95% of the time the warnings and system problems are present. On rare occasions, approximately 5% of the time, the warnings temporarily clear and the systems appear to operate normally, but the problem returns. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership for diagnosis. The dealer documented DTC U3000-49 and diagnosed an “internal failure of the multipurpose camera.” The dealer recommended replacement of the camera followed by camera aiming/calibration. The quoted repair cost was $2,105 plus tax. The repair has not yet been completed because I have not been able to afford the cost of the repair. As a result, I have continued driving the vehicle with these safety systems unavailable most of…”
