FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Defective front-facing camera located above the rear view mirror, used by several car safety systems, fails intermittently causing the dashboard to emit persistent visual and audio warnings. This is a 2019 HRV-EX with approx. 60,000 miles. It happens most frequently when the car interior is hot. The cacophony is so overwhelming that it distracts from being able to safely operate the vehicle. Honda dealer from whom the car was purchased estimated over $2000 to fix the issue. This is a common issue with several Honda models and there is a class action suit filed in US District Court, Central District of CA. Honda should acknowledge there's a design defect in the camera system and offer to repair it at its own expense.

NHTSA complaint #11762842 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I own a 2024 Honda HR-V. Since I purchased the vehicle, I have experienced recurring warning messages stating: "Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem - See Your Dealer" and "Road Departure Mitigation System Problem - See Your Dealer." I brought the vehicle to the Honda dealer and reported these problems. The dealer scanned the vehicle and told me that no fault codes were found. Despite this, the problem has continued. On one occasion, while driving at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle unexpectedly applied the brakes on its own. There was no vehicle, pedestrian, cone, rock, debris, or other obstacle in front of the vehicle. I did not intentionally apply the brakes to cause the sudden stop. I am concerned that the Collision Mitigation Braking System or another Honda Sensing safety system may be incorrectly detecting an obstacle and applying the brake hen there is nothing in front of the vehicle. This is a safety concern, it could save lives and stop accidents from happening if this safety issue gets investigated and find a solution.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar Internal Electronic system has failed (confirmed by Honda service center). When I start my car, I now get several warnings that multiple systems are out, including but not limited to the automatic emergency breaking, forward collision warning, and many other safety features. Upon searching the web, it seems this is a common issue in many Honda vehicles starting in 2018. With this feature no longer working, I have no back up safety mechanisms, which is one of the main reasons I bought this car.

I got in my vehicle to go to work, put the vehicle in drive and it would not move. The engine light came on, a large red flashing PARK on the dash and the tire light. I placed the car back in park. Checked to see if the parking break had accidentally been engaged. It had not. I placed the vehicle in drive again, unable to move. Attempted to reverse. Unable to move. Placed the vehicle back in park. Turned off the ignition. Pulled the key out slightly and waited. I restarted the engine and as all of the lights were flashing I placed the vehicle in drive again. The vehicle was able to drive. We took it to a local repair shop and they said it was a recall. We contacted Honda and they said they did not have a recall for this vehicle.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
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.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
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.

LKAS lights all came on and ACC warnings. Brake system and auto high beams. Mechanic seems to think it’s the camera, car only has 84,000 miles on it and very well taken care of. This seems to be a big common issue with a lot of HRVs and it’s expensive to fix.

Honda sensing error codes started lighting up all of a sudden. My HRV has never been in any kind of minor or major accident. We bought it new back in 2019. It currently has 13424 miles. This error is unexplainable as we have maintained this car so thoroughly. This error is not safe for drivers as it causes confusion especially when it just suddenly pops out while driving.
