In owners' own words
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! Forward collision avoidance
All the symbols related ADAS suddenly popped in my car with no rain or snow or any accidents. When I checked with Honda dealership, they said it caused due to software issue and nothing related hardware and it needed 2500$ for replacing the entire system. If it is software causing this issue why would customer had to pay for it, and it could be a recall. I noticed similar issue for all 2019 and above models. Forward collision avoidance
2019 Honday Odyssey. Front camera failure is causing subsequent failure of several features to include: front brake assist and crash avoidance, lane keep assist, auto high beam, auto cruise control. Honda denies responsibility or acknowledgment that this is a faulty part and the out of pocket cost of replacement is ~$1500. This is unacceptable for a 5 year car and creates a serious driving hazard. Forward collision avoidance
