I have less than 35k miles on my car and I have 5 warning that appeared out of no where. My car has never been in an accident and I take care of it. I searched on YouTube and apparently this is very common issue. It cost $3500 to fix and needs to be with a dealer. The 5 warnings are Issue with car 1) Lane keep problem assist, 2)auto-high beam problem, 3) road departure mitigation system, 4)adaptive cruise control, 5) collision mitigation system, The car is 4 years old and should not have this problem but a lot of people who own the same exact model have tge same issue. Honda needs to do a recall and fix it for free
2020 Honda Odyssey driver assistance complaints
Page 7 of 8: complaints 161 to 190 of 218, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I just started up the car one morning and had multiple sensor warnings. Brought it to the Honda dealership and told it was an internal sensor camera malfunction and wanted $2000+ to fix it. This honestly should be a recall as I’ve had several other Honda owners complaining about the same thing which is a huge safety concern
All of a sudden warnings appear related to Collision Mitigation system Problem Lane Keeping Assist Problem Auto High Beam Problem Adaptive cruise control problem Road departure mitigation problem This is a major issue. I don’t feel safe driving this car with my family. Therefore the federal safety agency should get Honda to issue a recall for this vehicle given the magnitude and sheer scale of the problem. Below is one of many such forums where people who model years 2018-2020 have the exact same problem. https://www.odyclub.com/threads/lkas-acc-collision-avoidance-auto-high-beam-problem.373456/page-2?nested_view=1&sortby=oldest
There are five warning indicator on the dashboard complaining about Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Lane Keeping Assistance. I took the car to the Honda dealership, and they acknowledged that they were due toan internal failure of the multipurpose camera.
Car was operating fine on the way to a game on 11/25/2024. Parked and went inside to watch game. After the game I went to my car and when I cranked it all the warnings below came on. **Auto High Beam problem **ACC problem **Brake System problem **LKAS problem those are the warnings I can remember. I immediately cut the car off and walked around to see if maybe I had been hit while parked cause something told me it could be a camera issue with the LKAS problem 🤷🏼♀️. I had not been hit. The car was fine and just as it was when I parked it. I cranked it again and the lights were still on showing problems and stayed on. I took it to the dealership and they said it's the multi-purpose camera malfunction/went out and needs new one.
I have a 2020 Honda Odyssey and had it into the dealer for service. The battery needed to be replaced. I replaced the battery myself and had the below 5 error messages. 1-Lane departure 2-Aptive cruise control 3-Auto High beams 4-forward Collison 5-Lane keep assistant This is all failures due to the front camera monocular. This failure can cause auto accident due to it malfunctioning. This issue was discovered at a private dealer and a the car dealership. Per the dealer this is a known issue and very common issue. Honda needs to make this a warranty recall and issue
The multifunction camera which is responsible for ADAS features suddenly failed
Camera sensor fails from time to time and break system light come on. This is reported to happen on most Honda from 2018 to current model.
ACC system started giving errors, diagnostics ran at Honda pointed to multi function camera. System was quoted for replacement at 1500 this seems to be a big problem across these models. Please investigate.
This is the second time I’ve had to bring my car in. I have a variety of different warning signs popping up and I see that I’m not the only person that this is happened to when I look at Reddit online the malfunction is somewhere within the car system and it’s because of a windshield camera, which has nothing to do with the, warning signs that I am getting on my car. This needs to be recalled and fixed for free.
Shortly after purchasing my vehicle and replacing the battery, I received multiple dashboard warnings. I took it in to the dealership, and I was advised that the van's multipurpose camera located behind the rear view mirror needed to be replaced. I have researched this issue and this appears to be very common with the Honda Odysseys. The vehicle is less than 48 months old, and it's already an issue? Wondering if this can be logged so that it can be recalled.
It seems our multi-purpose camera is malfunctioning and therefore causing all of the systems to go offline and light up on the dashboard when we turn on the car. It seems the only solution is to replace this. That seems insane that we should have to pay for this if this is a major safety feature of the car and one of the reasons we purchased the vehicle.
September 2024, i bought my car to the dealership to check multiple warning lights showed up on my dashboard. The dealer read the code and determine the multipurpose windshield camera had internal malfunction. The dealer told me that my multipurpose windshield camera need to be replace on my 60k mi 2020 Odyssey EX-L for ~$2.3k in Conshohocken PA. I had many of those sensor lights on (e. g. ACC, lane assist, collision mitigation) and saw many comments on a YouTube video (Honda Odyssey Warning Lights Bonanza Get Ready to PAY). Do my research online; seem like this happened a lot for the Honda Odyssey from year 2017 to year 2020 Hope the federal safety agency will investigate on this issue. It a very expensive fix for the vehicle barely break in. With all those safety feature disengage/malfunction at the same time, it is a very dangerous issue.
When I bought the van used in 2023 at a dealership, they were working on the tailgate of the van. They stated it was a factory default that the module had. They did not go into further detail. I started getting a message on the dash panel that the power tailgate system had a problem. I also got messages stating the thee reverse collision system stopped working, transmission system had problems, the keyless starting system problems. This was happening after a rain occurance. I took it to the honda dealer, they did not know how to fix this. I took it to my mechanic and he found water is getting thru the roof rack rail gulley, leaking down the back drivers side interior panel on to the tailgate control module. I have to take the van to a body shop, so they can fix the affected area. I have the part my mechanic replaced. It is clearly water damaged. The day he fixed my van, it had rained and malfunctioned again. Right now I have the module hanging in the cargo area, outside of the interior panel, so it does not get wet when it rains.
+ What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The front camera, which plays a crucial role in the functioning of the Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Avoidance system, and Auto High Beam, malfunctioned. This camera is integral to these systems. +How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The malfunction of the front camera caused critical systems like LKAS, ACC, Collision Avoidance, and Auto High Beam to operate unpredictably. This compromised vehicle control, leading to unintended lane departures, unsafe following distances, and potential collision risks. The Auto High Beam system also failed to adjust correctly, creating visibility hazards for both myself and other drivers. +Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The issue has been confirmed by a dealer, front camera malfunctioned and need to be replaced for $2000.
Drove to grocery store, did not have any codes, when I got back in my car and restarted I received these 5 errors: Adaptive Cruise Control Auto High Beam Problem Lane Keeping Assist Problem Collision Mitigation System Problem Road Departure Mitigation System Problem
The multicamera display unit is defective. It operates several systems and cause multiple warning issues. I believe the design is flawed. In addition to the warnings, both the display for driving information ( speed, rpm, temp, etc.) go blank and the AV unit (radio, entertainment, etc) shuts off too.
It won’t let me select all of the issues, but the entire list of the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is wrong with my car
Started the vehicle on 7/3. Multiple warning lights show on my dashboard: 1. ACC problem 2. Collision Mitigation Problem 3. LKA Problem 4. Auto High Beam Problem I took it to Purrfect Auto (as I had just had work done). They claim it is a software issue (per Honda) and did a reset of the dashboard (I was not charged for this). Problem was fixed. Later that day when I started the car, the warning lights came back. About 4 out of 5 times I start the car, the warning lights return. I had a long road trip (8-hours) a week later. So when I started the car and the warning lights came back, I would turn off the car and open and close the door (to turn off the computer). After I turned off and on the car 3 or 4 more times, the warning lights weren't on, so we started our road trip. This is a safety issue because I am now used to 4 years of Lane Keeping Assistance and Collision Mitigation. For the first time in 4 years, I experienced *3* near collisions with other vehicles due to the failure of these systems. This issue was inspected by the mechanics at Purrfect Auto. There were no other warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to this failure.
It’s starting raining and the brake system light came on and hasn’t went off.
Front Camera failure resulted in failure of Adaptive Cruise Control Automatic Emergency Braking Blind Spot Warning Forward Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assistance Parking Collision Warning Rear Cross Traffic Warning
I was driving, and there was a car coming from the opposite direction in their own lane, and nowhere near my car, and the automatic braking slammed on the brakes. This was just the worst instance of it malfunctioing.
On 6-11-24 The warning lights cycle through Auto Highbeam problem Lane Keeping assist Adaptive Cruise Control Collision Mitigation System problem Road departure Mitigation System problem Earlier in the day I had maintenance at the dealership performed on my car: brake fluid , trans svc,new tires and alignment, oil change and rotate tires, ac filter change, air cleaner element replaced. I went back to dealer on 7-1 and was told it was a multi purpose camera failure. This had not previously occurred until immediately after the maintenance work was performed.
After the last recall I had corrected by Honds, I started having issues with my LKAS system. The following notifications started coming periodically and now they always come on every time i start my 2020 Honda Odyssey. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Collision Mitigation System, Road Departure Mitigation System, and Auto High-Beam. The local Honda dealership quoted $1400 for a new camera.
The contact owns a 2020 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the instrument panel failed to display any information and the rear-view camera failed to display an image. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the gauge control unit. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20V439000 (Back Over Prevention, Electrical System), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the federal safety agency Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.
The design defect of the camera in front of the car seriously affects the life safety of the driver. The dealer did not pay attention to this problem. The car did not collide, but six error prompts appeared during driving: Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Auto High-Beam Problem.
Our vehicle is only a few years old and the front camera failed. It will not do any Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, etc. Honda refuses to cover this even though it is a manufacturer defect.
At random the following would come on when driving or when starting the vehicle up. It would also reset itself at random. Very scary when you have small children in the van. 1.Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) 2.Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) 3.Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) 4.Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 5. Auto head lights The vehicle has not been in any collision. This started after a required update was installed. The code reader scan code does not match what is being stated. When you are using the cruise control then it would turn off. Brake warning will not work. The cable harness for the audio for the entire van was redone last Summer 2023
We bought a used 2020 Honda Odyssey, and a few months after buying this vehicle, the infotainment screen blanked out and the vehicle information screen also blinked out. This occurred at the same time with no warning whatsoever. I just turned on the car, and none of the screens came on. These screens are the ones that show the mph, our mileage, cruise control, etc, and also the screen that shows the back up camera, in car calling, back up alert system. None of that works anymore. We made an appointment to take it to a Honda dealership and a few days later it flickered back on and so we did not keep the appointment. Just a month and a half later, it happened again and this time it has not come back on for over a month. We took it to the dealership and were charged $200 for them to tell us it was something wrong with the Honda computer system and the whole thing would need replaced and we would be charged $1800. This is on a barely 4-year-old vehicle & we did not have the money to replace a defective system. So we have been driving without a mph display. We put our phones up on the dashboard and try a GPS MPH app, but it is wildly inaccurate, and it is a major safety concern because we have no idea what speed we’re going and we have to guess. This is a car with low mileage and barely 4 years old!! We paid a lot of money for the back up camera, in car calling, and extra features like that specifically for the safety of those features. And now we’re being told that basically they can’t find the problem and we have to pay $1800 for those rather high-priority safety features like knowing how fast you’re going. I also have a newly licensed teenage driver and another who will get her temps in 2 months. I can’t even let them drive our vehicle because they certainly don’t have the experience necessary to drive with no speedometer. We live in a state that doesn’t allow handling a phone in any way. This vehicle helped me comply with that & now I must use a phone to show my mph
Adaptive cryise control, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation system, lane keeping assist, auto high beam all have errors and are not working. It happened without cause. Apparently it isn't uncommon for radar and sensor safety systems to just fail for no reason. The dealer said it could take several days to figure out the cause then a lot of money to fix it. The safety systems should not fail for no reason.
