2019 Honda Passport: lane keeping assist jerks the wheel

Filed Nov 6, 2026 · Driver assistance · CA

Sudden, unexpected failure/malfunction of the front multipurpose camera (Code U3000-49) and the rearview camera (no error code identified on the diagnostic test). According to the local Honda dealership, the front multipurpose camera has an internal failure, which I did not cause and could not have prevented. However, American Honda refused to cover the cost of repair/replacement, because there is no campaign or recall at this time, and they denied my request for goodwill assistance due to "not enough brand loyalty," because most of the oil changes and maintenance services for my car were performed at other mechanics and not at a Honda brand dealership. After starting the car, the dashboard permanently shows a yellow "Brake System" alert and cycles through displaying several more alerts, such as "ACC Adaptive Cruise Control Problem," "LKAS Lane Keeping Assist Problem," "Collision Mitigation System Problem," "Road Departure Mitigation System Problem," and "Auto High-Beam Problem." On a random, rare occasion, I will start the car and there are no alerts and the camera seems to function for that brief period the car is on. Driving with these safety features disabled and on constant display is very stressful and scary! Also, there would often be popping sounds from the radio, and, randomly, when shifting the car into reverse, the backup camera would fail intermittently and the display screen would not change at all or would be a blank black screen. The FAKRA recall was “repaired” over a year ago and these issues occurred more often after the recall work was done. They ultimately “repaired” the FAKRA recall again, supposedly correctly this time. How is Honda getting away with leaving customers vulnerable and at risk of accidents from these failures of critical safety systems??

On November 3, 2026, I was driving my 2019 Honda Passport (approx. 105,000 miles) when the vehicle struck a curb at approximately 20–30 mph. Upon impact, ALL airbags in the vehicle deployed — driver, passenger, and side airbags — not just those on the side of impact. The vehicle was in good running condition at the time: no check-engine, SRS, or other warning lights were illuminated, and the driver-assist systems, including lane keep assist, were functioning normally. There was no indication of any malfunction before the impact. A curb strike at 20–30 mph is a low-severity event. Deployment of every airbag in the vehicle from such a minor impact is not a normal or expected response — it indicates an overly sensitive or defective airbag deployment system. The unnecessary deployment caused injury to me: a deep laceration to my thumb, soreness throughout my body from the airbag impacts, a nosebleed, and bruising to my face. Additional symptoms may develop over time. I checked my vehicle's VIN with the federal safety agency on November 4, 2026: zero open recalls are listed, including recalls 26V‑332 and 24V‑064 covering airbag deployment defects on 2019–2021 Passports. This incident may represent the same or a related failure mode occurring outside the recalled population

I am writing to formally request goodwill assistance regarding a significant hardware failure in my 2019 Honda Passport. My vehicle is currently experiencing diagnostic trouble code U3000-49 (Internal Electronic Failure of the Multipurpose Camera Unit), which has completely disabled my Honda Sensing suite, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Collision Mitigation. While my vehicle has approximately 76,000 miles and is out of the original bumper-to-bumper warranty, I am deeply concerned that this is a premature internal electronic component failure rather than normal wear and tear. Why I Am Reaching Out: Widespread Hardware Defect: The U3000-49 internal circuit board failure is a known, heavily documented issue impacting Honda Sensing-equipped vehicles (such as the closely related Honda Pilot and Odyssey models built on the same architecture). Safety Impact: This failure shuts down primary active safety features that were a core part of why I purchased a Honda. A structural component failure disabling safety features after roughly 7 years of ownership is unreasonable for a brand with Honda's reputation for longevity. Exclusion from Current Actions: I am aware of ongoing class-action litigation regarding these exact front sensor camera failures in Honda vehicles. While my specific vehicle model year/trim configuration is not currently named in the active scope of those specific lawsuits, the mechanical and electronic reality of the part is identical. Replacing this unit and performing the mandatory ADAS static calibration quotes out to over $1,500–$2,000 at local service centers—an extreme financial burden for a manufacturing-related internal circuit board failure. Given my loyalty to the brand and the safety-critical nature of these systems, I am asking Honda to step in and offer goodwill assistance to cover or heavily subsidize the replacement and calibration of this failed multipurpose camera unit. Thank you for your time, considerati

About 1 year ago when the car was only 6 yeas old a series of warning lights lit up on the dashboard of our 2019 Honda Passport. The warning lights showed failures in several of the Honda sensing suite safety features including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation, vehicle stability assist, and auto high beam problem. The Honda dealership told us it could be a problem with the front facing multi-purpose camera or the radar and the problem was triggering a full failure of the entire Honda sensing suite and all of the safety features. They were unable to diagnose the issue and suggested replacing and recalibrating both the camera and the radar. The quote for this work was over $7,000 and they couldn’t even ensure us that it would fix the issue or that it wouldn’t fail again in the future. As a result we either have to continue to drive our car without any of the safety features that we purchased the car for, try to sell the car for a greatly reduced amount because of the myriad of safety warnings that show up on the dash, or spend over half of what the car is worth at the dealership for a repair without any assurances that the problem won’t reoccur. Based on internet research this is a very common problem for many Honda vehicles between 2019 and 2025. We have been driving the car “as-is” for over a year now hoping that Honda would issue a recall for this widespread safety issue.

The safety features connected to the rear view mirror and vehicle sensors malfunctioned. The Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation System, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keep Assist and High Beam - brake system - have stopped working. It was diagnosed as an internal failure of multipurpose camera. I have noticed there have been a lot of complaints of this failure. My car doesn’t have that many miles on it and isn’t that old. It seems like a defect in the car.

The safety features connected to the camera and vehicle sensors have all stopped working. Every time I start my car, multiple lights come on and dashboard messages that cruise control, lane assist and collision prevention systems are not working. The dealership quoted me $2300 to fix and said new sensors/computer system would need to be put in and calibrated. I tried putting a new battery in, which unfortunately did not help. I have heard of multiple other Passport drivers having this issue.

Upon engine start, dashboard lights appear that warn of the following safety issues detected: - Collision Mitigation Braking System - Lane Keeping Assist System - Adaptive Cruise Control - Road Departure Mitigation Diagnostic scan shows an error code of U3000-49 indicating a front camera issue. The error codes began in Spring 2025 and are disturbing making driving less secure but it is my primary vehicle

Vehicle has frequent and persistent “Front Camera Fault” warnings appearing on the dashboard, which result in continuous alerts and the disabling of key safety features including the Brake System, Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM). These warnings occur under all driving conditions, including clear weather and unobstructed roads. The dashboard fault warnings appear on nearly every vehicle start, and all Honda Sensing feature indicators flash continuously while the vehicle is in operation. Because continuous multiple warning lights flash on dashboard, it is difficult to determine which alerts are genuine and which are false. This is thus a serious safety concern that warrants a formal recall. A diagnostic scan by dealer informs an error code of U3000-49 that is front camera needs to be replaced at a cost of $1,900, excluding a non-refundable diagnostic charge of approximately $190. Due to the exorbitant cost if no extended warranty purchased, owners reporting this do not proceed with the repair and continue to experience this ongoing safety issue.
