FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

When attempting to accelerate after completing a stop, there was no response from the vehicle when the accelerator was pressed for 2-3 seconds, then the vehicle suddenly lurched violently forward and hit the rear end of a vehicle in front causing severe damage to the cars.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

In January 2026, my 2019 Honda Odyssey (approximately 110,000 miles) suddenly began displaying multiple simultaneous warning messages on the dashboard, including Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Auto High-Beam Problem, and a Brake System warning light. These warnings do not clear and are present every time the vehicle is started. As a result, the following safety systems are completely disabled: Forward collision avoidance / automatic emergency braking — the vehicle no longer detects or warns of potential frontal collisions Auto high-beam headlights — no longer switch automatically Adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist — inoperable Road departure mitigation — inoperable In addition to disabling these safety systems, the persistent warning messages significantly obstruct the main instrument cluster display, making it difficult to see basic driving information including speed, fuel level, and odometer/mileage. This is a serious distraction and visibility concern in itself, separate from the loss of the safety systems. I have not yet had the vehicle professionally diagnosed, but based on extensive research into this issue — including reviewing the NHTSA complaint database — this appears to be a widespread and well-documented defect affecting 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The pattern matches hundreds of other complaints describing failure of the front-mounted Multipurpose Camera Unit (MCU), frequently associated with diagnostic trouble code U3000-49 (Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar Internal Electronic Failure). Other owners report repair costs in the range of $1,500 to $2,600 for camera replacement and recalibration. This represents a serious safety concern: a single component failure disables the vehicle's primary collision-avoidance and driver-assistance systems simultaneously, while also obstructing basic instrument cluster vis

Burnsville, MN

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

The vehicle’s front camera/Honda Sensing system has failed, causing multiple safety features to become unavailable simultaneously, including forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and related systems. The failure produces multiple warning messages and disables safety systems that the vehicle was equipped and marketed with. This is a recurring issue reported by other Honda owners and is currently the subject of a proposed class action lawsuit, Jones et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Case No. [XXX]. The lawsuit alleges a defective front camera system affecting 2018–2025 Honda vehicles, including the Odyssey. I believe this constitutes a safety defect because the failure can occur unexpectedly and simultaneously disables multiple driver-assistance and collision-avoidance safety systems. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and require Honda to issue a safety recall and provide a free repair.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

​The multipurpose windshield camera module in my 2019 Honda Odyssey experiences an internal electronic/power failure (Diagnostic Trouble Code U3000-49) while driving. This failure triggers a cascade of warning lights across the dashboard, instantly and without warning disabling the entire Honda Sensing driver-assist suite—including Collision Mitigation Braking (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Auto High Beams.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

We were backing up the vehicle and the children started playing around acting like they were pushing the vehicle. The rear camera showed they were on the back corners of the vehicle and I think also the rear camera. As I pulled away all the safety notifications started to appear - adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, high beam automation and a brake system error. The vehicle was taken to the dealership in Richmond, Kentucky who advised that the issue was the front camera that is in the rearview mirror mount area. I asked how this could be the front camera when everything happened in the rear of the vehicle. They advised they didn't know how but that is what their code readers are recognizing as the issue. They also stated that they have several individuals reporting this issue to them each month but there are no recalls due to this. This seems to be a safety defect as I cannot see how children playing around at the back of the vehicle affects the 'front' camera in turn affecting so many safety items.
