What owners say
While driving my 2026 Honda HR-V with about 536 miles, I turned on the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS). Shortly afterward, multiple warning messages began appearing and cycling on the instrument panel while I was driving. They included brake system problem, low speed braking problem, lane keeping assist problem, road departure problem. I called Honda service department was told it was safe to drive since I was only a couple miles away. I drove directly to the Honda dealership while the warnings were still occurring, and dealership personnel observed the warnings. I let them know what happened and that I could also hear a grinning and whistling noise on my way there. The technician said that afyer the vehicle was turned off and restarted, the warnings disappeared. The dealership checked the vehicle and told me the codes had cleared. They found one code related to an oil-related valve and ordered the part, but told me they did not believe that code/part was related to the multiple warnings I experienced and were not certain the part actually needed replacement. The repair order has been left open while they wait for the part. I was told the car is safe to drive and was told I would get a call when the part arrives. This occurred on October 2, 2026. Only had the car since 09/19/26. 536 miles when it occurred and I had my two children with me.
It seems like all safety systems associated with Honda's Safety Sense package failed simultaneously as I have a chain of dashboard lights indicating problems with Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control and more. These dashboard lights came on with an aural warning which was a distraction to me during my drive. These lights are illuminated everytime I start up the vehicle and are lit up throughout the duration of the vehicle being on. These lights first appeared approximately 2 weeks ago. The vehicle is available for inspection if needed.
The 2019 Honda HRV with low miles of around 44,000 miles experienced a series of warning alerts on the dash board consisting of the following list of five problems: Road Departure Mitigation System Problem; Auto High-Beam Problem; Adaptive Cruise Control Problem ACC; Lane Keeping Assist Problem LKAS; and Collision Mitigation System Problem. This started with warm weather at the end of July 2026 and is continuing intermittently in August 2026 as of the date of this write up. I described this to a Honda service person verbally in person in Huntington Beach, CA and they said it was a Multipurpose Camera problem and could fix it for $1,971.23 plus tax. They indicated that the camera was improved so it wouldn't fail so easily. The vehicle has not been physically inspected by dealer service staff yet. With all these safety features potetially not functiing at times creates great safety risk (e.g., Adaptive Cruise Control is not really on when you think it is and the car could rear end another vehicle in front especially if the Collision Mitigation Sytem is also malfunctioning). Car with low miles and in great shape otherwise. No significant accidents. No cracked or replaced windshield. Have a large 113MB video if needed of dashboard problem warnings.
The Multipurpose camera has internal failure and the unit is running at 130 degrees per diagnostic tests per mechanic. It's affecting the lane keep assist, automatic high beams, road departure, mitigation, adaptive, cruise control, collision mitigation system. These safety features are not working.
Total electric power steering failure... alerts for lane keeping assistance... braking.... hill descent... traction...see attached photos...
Lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam lights, forward collision warning. It is available for inspection. This is the whole reason we went with this car was the safety features. Now none of the forward Saftey features are currently working because of the front safety camera failure. Have not returned to dealer since it is out of warranty now. No warning lamps before this problem started.
While driving my 2022 Honda HR-V, multiple Honda Sensing warning messages appeared simultaneously, including front camera system errors. Features such as Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, and Adaptive Cruise Control became unavailable. The warnings affect important safety systems and also create a distraction while driving. This appears to be the same front camera defect that many other Honda owners have reported.
The contact owns a 2025 Honda HR-V. The contact stated that after entering the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start, and the doors failed to lock. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle with battery failure. The battery was replaced, but moments later, after leaving the dealer, the TPMS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven back to the dealer, and a software recalibration was performed, but the failure reoccurred. The next morning, the vehicle failed to immediately start. After the vehicle was restarted, it was driven to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the failure might have occurred due to an alarm failure affecting the battery. No further information was available. The contact stated that while attempting to switch to the left lane, the Lane Departure: Lane Keep feature malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to steer back into the right lane. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 16,800.
Driving on the highway then all of a sudden the display lights come on, forward collision warning, driver assist, headlight,lane assist and brake light comes on. Pulled over and started the vehicle but still no change. Took to dealer,found faulty camera
