2020 HONDA RIDGELINE Forward Collision Avoidance Warnings Problems

Multi purpose camera behind front mirror failed. Most safety systems will not work. Various warnings regarding system failure were noted on dash. Supposedly a bad battery installed and warranted by dealer caused this problem? Dealer covered the battery but charged $2100.00 to replace the camera!

Problem started without warning. A couple of days ago all of these are disabled, warning lights scroll through on dash: ACC problem, Collision Mitigation Problem, Lake Keep Assist Problem, Auto High Beam Problem. It cleared once after restarting and once after service mechanic cleared codes. Issue returned the next day and continues. Built in safety features are not working. Deciding on having Honda dealer check it out.

Since new vehicle''s Forward Collision warning stating "BRAKE" will occasionally appear for oncoming traffic. Vehicle has attempted to brake as well. There is no fix from Honda Motor Co. Vehicle also has an issue with automatic high beams (which has no current fix) which has been filed separately.

Several times over the past two months, I started having issues with the auto engine idle stop. I'm at about 25,000 miles and my vehicle has completely stalled out 4 times in two months. This is due to a failure of the auto engine idle stop system to restart the engine after I take my foot off the brake pedal. This has put my safety and others at risk in all of these incidents, all happened in busy, high traffic areas. In one instance it took a full minute to be able to turn my car back on. One time it triggered the collision system, and I couldn't restart my car for several minutes. After looking up this issue, I know there is an ongoing NHTSA investigation into the Honda Pilot models, but this needs to be expanded to the Ridge line models.
