2019 Honda Accord Hybrid: lane keeping assist jerks the wheel

Filed Jul 1, 2025 · Driver assistance · CA

All of sudden, no incident, no accident, a lot of things were disabled such as Adaptive Cruise Control , Forward Collision Warning , Lane Departure Warning and more while I was out of town (long range highway travel). When I went to Honda dealership, they blamed a few things and fixed them (expensive), then they said that the front camera needed a calibration. It was expensive. After that aiming correction, everything works fine. The camera was NOT broken. It just needed recalibration, and it costed about a thousand dollars. I would say it was caused by the poor design, which is Honda's fault. I googled this issue and found a lot of Honda owners had same issued and charged 1K ~2K for it. I will report it separately, but my Honda Odyssey has the exactly same issue now. I have 2 Honda cars, and both of them have the same issue. I strongly suggest that Honda should recall their front camera and they should reimburse the expense we already paid for it.

The Lane Departure Warning. Auto Dimming Headlights,, and traffic sign Recognition system stopped working at about 40000 miles. The dealer says they can't fix it. Also, my windshield, like so many others I've read about, spontaneously cracked while parked, on a day with moderate temperature and no hail. The camera was realigned. Still, the 3 sensing aids above still don't work. Uncertain about exact date

I purchased a 2019 certified pre-owned Honda Accord Touring Hybrid in February, 2022. This was the second Honda Accord Touring Hybrid I've owned, so I was already very familiar with this vehicle. Over the next couple months, I started experiencing some odd things - the LKAS and Lane Departure systems weren't operating correctly consistently. For example, the steering wheel would start shaking and warning lights pop up on my dash, and the steering wheel is pulling to one direction thinking I'm veering into another lane when I'm not. This was concerning, but at the time the infotainment system was crashing regularly and that was more concerning. In addition, the Automatic Emergency Braking also seemed to be off, engaging at times when there wasn't a vehicle in front of me. In May, 2022 I was driving on the highway with the Adaptive Cruise Control set to 70mph (the posted speed limit). There were no other cars on the highway in my line of sight, when without warning, the Automatic Emergency Braking system engaged and the car slammed on the brakes, coming to nearly a complete stop. Alarms, lights and brakes all fully engaged in a sudden and unexpected manner, absolutely putting my life at risk. I was so shaken up by this experience that I had to pull over and compose myself before continuing on to my destination. I took the vehicle in to my local Honda dealership and told them of all the issues. To date, the only issue fixed is the Infotainment System. I've taken my vehicle in to Honda multiple times, and although trouble-shooting and 'fixes' have been done, within a couple of weeks from the 'fix', the car starts behaving like this again. Honda repeatedly says they can't find a problem or they've 'fixed' the problem. Clearly there is a problem and none of the 'fixes' have worked. I don't feel safe driving the car, but cannot afford to replace it.

On 6/25/21, while driving my 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid Ex-L, at a speed of 30-40 mph the car displayed various warnings. I was on a major road with no where to pull over. Within about a block the car unexpectedly braked hard and slowed down from about 40 to 15 mph. I attempted to press on the gas to avoid causing an accident but, the car continued at the slower speed and did not react to my gas press. This issue then cleared and I was able to accelerate. This was very scary but to make it worse about a 1/2 block later my car veered to the left and out of my lane, again at this point I was on high alert and the veer was not correct. I was able to gain control and get the vehicle back in the correct lane. I then pulled into a parking lot(~1 block later). I tried to document all of the warnings at this time. I called Randy Kuehl Honda and decided to drive back roads to the dealership(~4 miles). Prior to arriving(~3.8 miles into drive), additional warnings were displayed. I arrived at the dealership and they said that the issue was because there was a crack in my brake light and water had gotten in. But I am having a hard time accepting that because of a busted taillight it is normal/acceptable/safe for the car to brake and swerve and lose all of the indicated systems. Seems like a pretty big SAFETY CONCERN. I can quickly find other instances similar to mine on the internet. Below is a list of all the warnings I was able to remember. I also noticed while I was parked that the red "BRAKE" was displayed but I did not have the parking brake on. ---Initial warnings Electric Parking Brake System Problem(SP), Parking Brake Not Available Brake SP Brake Performance May Be Reduced Brake Hold SP. Apply Brake When Stopped Adaptive cruise control SP Collision Mitigation Braking SP Road Departure Mitigation SP ---Later Electric Power Steering SP Vehicle Stability Assist SP Lane Keeping Assist SP Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) SP

On december 26, 2020, I was leaving work, after a 12 hour shift at the hospital. While backing into an alleyway my car struck a large roll-off dumpster (which was caddy cornered in the alley) of the back, driver quarter panel and back driver door. The rearview camera, blind spot warning, parking collision warning, the rear cross traffic warning, nor the automatic emergency braking kicked in. I was going at a very low speed at the time of the incident (~1-2 MPH). My car had been warmed up prior to getting in it.I did not spend over 40k on a vehicle for the the safety features to not work when you need them to. I have noticed that I have also had issues with my lane departure warning and the forward collision warning has been not working 100% of the time recently, but that never bothered me before. What is upsetting is that I have already had to have honda replace the front sensor due to my car throwing codes (lkas, adaptive cruise control & front collision warning) not functioning, as well as my back driver door lock (already gone bad). Now this. My car isn't even 2 years old.I took my car by my local dealership (priority honda of roanoke) on 12/30/20 where I was told to contact american honda because of the recall on the bcm on my car and was told that this most likely contributed to the accident. After contacting american honda I was basically told that it is not a safety recall but a "non-compliance" recall and that the safety features they boast about are not actual safety features of the car and should not be relied upon in any case. So, they do not stand behind their vehicles. This incident could have been so much worse and I am thankful that it wasn't, but I am still sickened over this! I purchased a brand new car for its safety features that don't work, to be told by the manufacturer that they are not liable for their product not working correctly.

2nd occurence-while driving up a hill at approximately 30 MPH the warnings for brake system failure, acc, lane departure mitigationand collision detection came on. The first time it happened I was told that the sensor had been dislodged. This time they are saying that there is a crack in the tail light assembly which set off the warning system. The braking system and a new brake assembly is needed. The brake lights work fine. Even if they were both controlled by the same computer, the brake lights are on an output from the computer or pedal switch. The warning seems to indicate there might be problem with the sensor which would be an input system. Control, sensors, and indication systems have separate electrical paths even if managed by the same computer. So their "diagnosis" seems highly unlikely.
