“Several times the automatic emergency braking system has engaged when there is no obstruction in front of me. In addition, several times the automatic emergency braking system has flashed a warning when there is no obstruction in front of me. Both of these situations are very dangerous and can cause an accident or can cause me to loose control of my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11737466, filed 2026-05“My cruise control stopped working and all my lane assist stopped working. My front camera stopped working. I went to the Honda dealership, and it was going to be over $2000 to replace. The car is only 6 years old, it has had no accidents or problems. I’m incredibly upset that this already is a problem, and because i didn’t buy an extended warranty it’s on me to fix.”
NHTSA complaint #11703135, filed 2025-12“Multiple problems flashing. Including CMBS problem, Lane keeping assist problem, road departure warning, adaptive cruise control problem. The car also did an unexpected slow down while driving when there was no obstruction in front of me driving. This was a major safety issue as I could have been rear-ended.”
NHTSA complaint #11721564, filed 2026-03“The braking system failed Lane keeping assist stopped working Adaptive cruise control stopped working Forward collision warning stopped working It does not handle as smoothly since the sensors stopped working I parked in the shade I keep the sensors clean but they only will work when it’s cooler then 65 degrees outside”
NHTSA complaint #11705976, filed 2025-12“All my dash warning lights started coming on for Adaptive Cruise Control, ABS, LKAS, Front Collision Mitigation, Road Departure Mitigation. They all came on at once. I took it to Honda and they said it’s a front camera issue and I’d need to pay $1800 to replace it. Researching it online, I’ve seen many Pilot owners that have had this same issue.”
