I have a series of dashboard warning lights that have went off due to failure of this camera-based (LKAS) unit. They are labeled as: 1) Lane Keeping Assist Problem 2) Auto Matic Cruise Control Problem 3) Traction Control Problem 4) ABS - braking system failure. These issues, IMO, are enough to suggest a recall is warranted. Please advice. I can provide photos of these warnings if necessary.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled with the check engine and ABS warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and an OBDII scan retrieved DTC: P0087 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low) and U0401-68 (Engine Control Module). The vehicle was then taken to a dealer, and it was confirmed that the low and high-pressure fuel pumps needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the VIN was not included the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline).

We've experience two instances where at a stop light, while under braking and the auto engine has idled, the car shuts off and after a long delay appears to restart its ECU and displays a prompt on the display to start the car again. This was of particular concern as we were at a stoplight on a rather busy crossing of a local freeway with heavy truck traffic for local manufacturers. There was no warning prior to the car shutting itself off. After it shut off, it triggered nearly every Honda warning symbol on the dash: LCAS, ABS, etc. all reporting problems.

On numerous occasions I have had all of the indicator lights on on my dash, including the lkas, collission mitigation, adaptive cruise control, road departure, and various notifications for my bluetooth, radio, and navigation come on. Also, my back up camera will have a black screen and then my maps will be gray with no information. My car will suddenly brake when there is no one in front of me and surge forward as I'm trying to come to a stop, like my brakes aren't working. I also can't make any phone calls using the system, as it wont recognize any voice tags and instead gives me every contact in my phone book that may have a home number. Recently the ABS is activating as I turn my wheels to the right while backing out of parking spaces. These may happen while driving or while stationary. It just isn't safe. I've had people slam on their brakes to avoid my car as it suddenly stops for no reason and have feared that I may rear end someone due to it lurching forward, so now I stop really far back from other vehicles. I'm also experiencing a popping noise coming from my speaker system that seems to occur whenever my AC compressor switches on and off, leading me to wonder if I'm experiencing electrical issues with this vehicle. I've taken it to the dealer so many times and they say that they can't "duplicate" this. So I show them the photos and the videos. I'm not alone with many of these problems. I see others complaining as well. Honda needs to repair our vehicles or buy them back. I've always loved honda's but after my experience with this vehicle, they may have lost me as a customer. My family's safety is too important to leave in the hands of a corporation that cares more about their bottom line, than their customers.

On numerous occasions, beginning just months after purchase, I have had all of the indicator light turn on on my dash, including the lkas, collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, road departure and various notifications for my bluetooth, radio and navigation come on. Also, my backup camera will have a black screen and then my maps will be gray with no information. My car will suddenly brake when there is no one in front of me and surge forward as I'm to coming to a stop and the RPM's will raise, it's like I'm sliding over ice for a short period of time. I also can't make phone calls using the system, as it won't recognize any of my voice tags. And instead will give me every contact in my phone book with a home number when I ask for it to call home. Recently the ABS is activating as I turn my wheels to the right while backing our of parking spaces, either on a driveway or flat surface. These may happen while driving or stationary and just turning the car on. It just isn't safe. I've had people slam on their brakes to avoid hitting me as my car decides to suddenly stop for no reason and have fear that I may rear end someone due to it lurching forward while stopping, so now I stop even further away from vehicles and objects - just in case. I'm also experiencing a popping noise coming from my speaker system that seems to occur whenever my AC compressor switches on or off or if I'm using my door locks, leading me to wonder if I'm actually having electrical issues. I've taken it to the dealer numerous times and they of course say that they can't duplicate the issues. So I show them all of my photos and videos. I'm not alone with many of these problems. I see others complaining of similar issues as well. Honda needs to repair our vehicles or buy them back. I've always loved hondas but after my experience with this vehicle, they may have lost my business.
