FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

I went to the dealership today for my recall on the backup camera where my screen goes black in reverse. I also told me my dash lights had come on and could like lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control and blind spot warning. Dealership then tells me it is a faulty internal camera in the windshield and wants to charge me $2K. Is this not a recall since it happens to a significant amount of honda odysseys and pilots? Please make this a recall as it is not safe to drive my van anymore and should be apart of the recall I took it in for.

Huntington Beach, CA

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST

The electrical component is failing. I have brought in this vehicle 2 times for failed electrical issues over several years (around 2 years), and it only has 52,000 miles currently. The back up sensors no longer work, as well as warning lights for the following began to appear a year ago: collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, road departure mitigation. Sometimes, our electrical side door will not close and will keep opening when trying to shut. This electrical issues has been draining our battery, and while driving, my car shut off in the middle of the street while I was waiting for a light. After a few attempts, I got my car started again. We replaced the battery, and a few days later the car would randomly turn on and I could not use an electrical key to open the car door. Only way to open it is with the physical key. The battery had to be unplugged in order to stop the car for randomly turning on. All electrical systems would turn on in the car, including the alarm and radio, even if the radio had been off when the car was last turned off. The car has been inspected by Honda mechanics, who told me the electrical component is dying, but they don't know why, the car isn't that old, and it has very few miles on it.
