What 2020 Honda Odyssey owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The contact owns a 2020 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle in the driveway, the automatic braking system, adaptive cruise control, auto hi-beams, and Lane Keep Assist warning lights illuminated, followed by a beeping sound, and the systems became inoperable. In addition, the multi-point camera was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where an internal failure of the multi-point camera was diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 83,300.
Over the course of 3 days, cruise control and lane assist systems would shut off and messages would display about adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and collision avoidance system not working. Sometimes a transmission problem message would also become active. Sometimes the messages would be present at startup but other times the systems would show up green on the display and then the systems would shut off while driving causing the vehicle to suddenly slow down in highway traffic. The root issue seems to be a broken or malfunctioning multipurpose camera for the driver assist system. The camera has not been replaced yet to verify but related codes are active based on a code scanner and symptoms match what is expected for the camera failure. The vehicle is 6 years old with 99,400 miles at the first occurrence of the issue and does not have any windshield damage or signs of water leaking that would contribute to a failure. My primary concern is that the software completely disables cruise control when the camera for adaptive cruise and lane keep assist fails causing the vehicle to suddenly slow down rather than allow normal cruise control to continue operating and display the warning messages.
