2019 Honda Odyssey driver assist problems

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

In December 2025, my multi purpose camera failed on 2018 Honda Odyssey EXL seemingly out of nowhere. There was no accident or incident that would have caused this to fail. With the failure of this system, my collision mitigation braking system, lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, road departure mitigation and auto-high beams no longer work until this camera is fixed. The dealer has confirmed the failure and the repair is over $2,000 to fix by Honda. The component has not been inspected by police or insurance, just Appletree Honda in Asheville, NC. The warning lamps for all of the systems affected show up everytime I start the car.

The LKAS, ACC, AEB, Automatic High Beams, and other safety features that rely on the front camera all became inoperable for no apparent reason. The front facing camera seems to be the culprit. This is a known issue and Honda should submit a recall to replace the faulty camera.

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING

We have Multipurpose Camera Failure. No damage or accidents. It just started failing. There are many reports of this and the camera is on back order with Honda. They are charging $2100 to fix it. The official Honda Odyssey Forum online has countless complaints on the same issue without resolution by Honda. Honda has acted in bad-faith towards their customers since this defect impacts the vehicle's advanced safety features for which buyers incur additional expenses, endangering the lives of passengers. Honda has acted in bad-faith towards their customers by designing a system that requires continuous and substantial expenditures without resolution because it is an engineering problem, i.e., the placement of the radar behind the large, thick plastic H emblem obstructs the radar. I hereby ask that the NHTSA investigate this issue and order Honda to offer a solution in the form of a RECALL that permanent addresses the problem. Our experience after contacting Honda Corporate to get some help is this is a money maker for them.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

I have received warning lights associated with safety features controlled by front facing windshield camera indicating that the ACC, auto braking, lane departure and front collision avoidance features were not working. This has happened once before just over a year ago and I was told by the dealer that the camera needed to be replaced. I did so, at a cost of over $2K. All features worked again after the costly replacement, until last month, just outside of the one year warranty on the new camera. This is clearly an issue with either the camera or a connected electrical issue. This van also has a breach in the body wields at the rear lift gate opening in which water is able to seep into the interior of the body behind the interior rear side panels. During heavy rains the carpet on the right side trunk area is wet and can be tracked to coming from behind the right rear interior molding. I have not yet removed the molding so I am unsure if any electrical components connected to the front camera and associated safety features are located there and might be causing these safety feature issues. At a minimum, both of these issues, the camera constantly quitting, as well as the breach in the body allowing moisture intrusion, should warrant a forced recall for Honda to address and correct each item.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

I am reporting a safety-related defect involving my **2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L** (VIN: **5FNRL6H76KB029137**) with approximately **101,156 miles**. **"Brake System"** warning message appears first. Within seconds, additional warnings appear one at a time for **Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), and Automatic High Beam**. All of these safety systems become unavailable. The vehicle continues to drive and brake normally, and the speedometer functions correctly. The Blind Spot Information System and rear parking sensors continue to operate normally. A diagnostic scan performed by a VIP Honda mechanic identified **Diagnostic Trouble Code U3000-49** stored in the **front multipurpose camera module**, indicating an internal camera module fault. The battery and alternator have been tested and are operating correctly. The vehicle has its **original windshield**, has **never been involved in a collision**, and there are **no signs of water intrusion** around the front camera assembly. This failure occurred suddenly during normal driving without any known external cause. The failure disables multiple collision avoidance and driver assistance systems that are intended to help prevent crashes. Because these safety systems become unavailable during normal vehicle operation, I believe this represents a potential safety defect that should be investigated. I have notified Honda of this issue and opened **American Honda Customer Relations Case #165-16502**. Honda is currently reviewing the matter for possible goodwill assistance. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether similar front camera module failures (DTC U3000-49) are occurring in other 2019 Honda Odyssey vehicles equipped with Honda Sensing.

The car started having the ACC, LKAS, Collisions Mitigation, Auto High Bam, Road Departure mitigation system warnings. Took it to the dealer for another repair and was told that these lights were due to the front facing camera and was quoted over $1k for repair. I’m convinced it’s electrical and not necessarily what the Honda narrative is. This model has had several issues around electrical components. Please open an investigation into this car around this issue.
