Example complaints

“I am receiving a fws failure light on my dashboard. I took it to the dealer and they advised that the module that controls that system needs to be replaced at a cost of about $1800. It is my belief that Honda should pay the cost to replace this module. It is not a matter of normal wear and tear. Additionally there is a recall Honda DTC u0416/68 for another model.”

NHTSA complaint #11383373, filed 2020-12, 191,000 miles

“The forward collision warning system has not worked during the time I have owned the vehicle. I have attempted on several occasions to simulate a condition in which the fcw should alert, with no success. I have taken the vehicle to the selling dealer four times. On two of the visits the fcw only worked once after testing four or more times.the fcw notification was too close for safely taking action. There was no change in the warning distance when changing the settings- long, normal, short. On the two other occasions the fcw did not work at all. …”

“When outside temperatures are at least 95 degrees or hotter, the front camera overheats and the forward collision warning system and lane departure warning system don't function until the camera cools down which can take upwards of 15 minutes.”

“when driving the vehicle 7/25/26 my fcw/brake light came on. I felt very insecure for safety reasons and we contacted a local mechanic who specializes in honda and foreign vehicles. We have photos and invoices from the auto shop and we had to rent a vehicle. We are rited with 1 vehicle and my wife was going to visit her mother.”

NHTSA complaint #11757242, filed 2026-08

“My front collision warning system failed my lane departure warning system has failed. Now on my dashboard all the lights are on abs,break,steering,tractions,tire pressure, fcw, and ldw are all on. Took it into Honda and they said it’s a malfunctioning vsa module. Now I won’t know any other issues that arise because this is telling me all of them aren’t working.”
