2022 HONDA PILOT Forward Collision Avoidance Warnings Problems

It is constantly breaking when cars are coming the other way. It almost caused a vehicle to almost hit me. Also the auto shut off has almost caused accidents because it causes my car to stall and I wish I could keep it off and not have to push the button off every time.

The ADAS camera has failed. It is extremely common. When it fails, all the lights for EVERY system of ADAS comes on. None of them work. And it is not possible to turn off. Furthermore it sets codes for the brakes and turns on the brake warning lights. So none of the brake assist systems work either. Honda refuses to warranty any of these systems when the camera fails. It is across their entire line of vehicles with ADAS. If they can’t build a functional system, it should not have the system. Also, the system functions extremely poorly, when it was operating. It will drive the vehicle, unassisted, down to 20 mph, then just shuts off and lets the vehicle coast, unguided. Also, if the cruise is set and lane keeping on, and it can’t find lane lines, particularly where lanes merge, it will often veer left, into oncoming traffic....

My vehicle multipurpose camera unit failed. The entire advanced driver assistance system shut down and stopped working. This error randomly appeared. My vehicle has 48,000 miles on it. I received error codes for each of the components that they were not working. This meant no adaptive cruise control, no automatic emergency braking, no blind spot warning, no forward collision warning, no lane departure warning, no lane keeping assistance, no parking collision warning, no rear cross traffic warning. My safety was put at risk as the components that provide safety warnings were not operative. I took the car to my Honda service shop and they provided the following diagnostic: [Other]: Verify customer concern that theirs multiple lights on on the vehicle, then check for codes notice theirs code for U3000-49 multipurpose camera unit/ millimeter wave radar internal electric failure. Then disconnect one of the connectors for sensor to single one out...

The foreward collision warning is too sensitive and the alert message and steering wheel shaking are distracting. Especially driving on a two lane road, the forward collision messages occurs under normal driving situations. Simply a vehicle approaching in their lane in the opposite direction triggers the warning. You get a large orange box popping up on the dash screen which diverts your attention from the road to the screen. It's an obnoxious panic message. Also, the steering wheel shakes to alert you, which startles you. I fear the mechanism could malfunction and take over steering and cause an accident. I know how to drive and I don't need the absurd "assistance". I submitted another report for the auto idle problem. These driver assist things are horrid. They don't enhance the driving experience and seem to be items that unnecessarily tack on to the cost of purchasing a vehicle. We have...

Radar camera went out shutting off all safety features lkas, power steering , collision control, power breaks etc

Vehicle warning lights randomly appeared on dash Adaptive cruise control Vehicle stability assist Hill start assist Trailer stability assist Collision mitigation system assist departure mitigation

When I make complete stops vehicle shuts off and it’s creating dangerous conditions while waiting to turn left or at traffic stops. It happens almost every day.

All of the following lights came while driving on and have stay on. LANE KEEP ASSIST ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL COLLISION MITIGATION. After some research, this looks to be a know problem for Honda.

The vehicle mistakingly thinks it recognizes an obstacle, and wrongly activates the brakes and forward collision warning. This recently occurred during highway driving with no apparent obstacles multiple times. Also (maybe related) when using adaptive cruise control, rather than adapt to a slower vehicle’s speed in-front of it, the Honda Pilot applies strong pressure on the brakes to adjust its pace. In other cars I’ve driven (Tesla, Subaru, Volvo, Chrysler, Kia) the response is a much more delicate “throttle release”. However, the Pilot mostly applies throttle or aggressively applies the brakes in situations that are very predictable and do not require the brakes to be applied. The result is an aggressive/frantic behavior, not adaptive. I keep the car/safety sensors clean and free of obstacles, decals, etc.

Vehicle repeatedly has applied emergency braking in situations where it should not have been applied. Generally, the problem is most likely to occur on two-lane roads with oncoming traffic and a bend to the right as viewed as I am driving. This has also occurred, to a lesser extent, on the highway when a car immediately in front slows and changes lanes to the right (as would be done to exit the highway). In this case, it seems like the system is too slow to recognize that the vehicle has changed lanes.

For the past year and a half, I have had issues with the forward collision warning and emergency braking systems. I get false warnings to "Brake" when there are no other cars around. I have also had the car brake for no reason - one time, we were on the interstate, the emergency braking system engaged and it pulled us to the side of the road. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership numerous times and they cannot get it to reproduce. It happens sporadically and there isn't anything I can do to reproduce the issue either. I fear this will happen when a car is too close, or, living in Wisconsin, that the brakes will engage when driving on snow and/or ice. It has happened at 10 mph up to 75 mph.

Wednesday 9/28, some cloud cover but nothing on the deck, mild temps, straight highway– traveling on I-90 eastbound at 10AM, and past North Bend and the 436th Ave SE exit, our 2022 Pilot braked suddenly from 70 to about 40 mph accompanied by the red flashing BRAKING light. At that point the West bound traffic is some 100 feet away from the eastbound. We were in the left line with a speed of 70 mph with ACC activated. Just prior, I noticed an ambulance, Westbound, with lights on – in the westbound left lane, as our CMBS went bonkers eastbound. Luckily, there were no other cars near us.

When driving on highways and interstate the vehicle flashes BRAKE when the is no reason to brake. This happens multiple times per day, in my commute. The 2nd thing (and most dangerous) is the automatic braking. Several times on the interstate the car has done a HARD brake while travelling at high speeds, only there wasn’t a reason for it No other vehicles were in front of us at the time. It has also happened several times on the state road that we drive daily. It’s not. I have contacted Honda and have note heard back as of yet. This is a very dangerous and possibly fatal flaw. The issue is definitely ongoing.
