In owners' own words
All the symbols related ADAS suddenly popped in my car with no rain or snow or any accidents. When I checked with Honda dealership, they said it caused due to software issue and nothing related hardware and it needed 2500$ for replacing the entire system. If it is software causing this issue why would customer had to pay for it, and it could be a recall. I noticed similar issue for all 2019 and above models. Forward collision avoidance
2019 Honday Odyssey. Front camera failure is causing subsequent failure of several features to include: front brake assist and crash avoidance, lane keep assist, auto high beam, auto cruise control. Honda denies responsibility or acknowledgment that this is a faulty part and the out of pocket cost of replacement is ~$1500. This is unacceptable for a 5 year car and creates a serious driving hazard. Forward collision avoidance
Warning for Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto High Beam, Collision Mitigation, and Road Departure all populated at once. The functionality does not work, even regular cruise control without the adaptive feature. There have been many reports of this issue with fixes upwards of $3,000. Appears to be a faulty camera. This is a safety issue and should be addressed and recalled. Forward collision avoidance
